We study the vertex-decremental Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) problem: given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with lengths $\ell(e)\geq 1$ on its edges and a source vertex $s$, we need to support (approximate) shortest-path queries in…

Given a collection of points in R^3, KD-Tree and R-Tree are well-known nearest neighbor search (NNS) algorithms that rely on space partitioning and spatial indexing techniques. However, when the query point is far from the data points or…

In this article, we study the Adjacent Quadratic Shortest Path Problem (AQSPP), which consists in finding the shortest path on a directed graph when its total weight component also includes the impact of consecutive arcs. We provide a…

To measure the tree-likeness of a directed acyclic graph (DAG), a new width parameter that considers the directions of the arcs was recently introduced: scanwidth. We present the first algorithm that efficiently computes the exact scanwidth…

We continue the study of distance sensitivity oracles (DSOs). Given a directed graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and edge weights in $\{1, 2, \dots, M\}$, we want to build a data structure such that given any source vertex $u$, any target vertex…

We consider the problem of locating a set of $k$ sinks on a path network with general edge capacities that minimizes the sum of the evacuation times of all evacuees. We first present an $O(kn\log^4n)$ time algorithm when the edge capacities…

We investigate the single-source-single-destination "shortest" paths problem in acyclic graphs with ordinal weighted arc costs. We define the concepts of ordinal dominance and efficiency for paths and their associated ordinal levels,…

We propose a method to identify nonlinear acyclic networks in continuous time when the dynamics are located on the edges and all the nodes are excited. We show that it is necessary and sufficient to measure all the sinks to identify any…

In this article, the optimal sample complexity of learning the underlying interactions or dependencies of a Linear Dynamical System (LDS) over a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is studied. We call such a DAG underlying an LDS as dynamical DAG…

In the k-Path problem, the input is a directed graph $G$ and an integer $k\geq 1$, and the goal is to decide whether there is a simple directed path in $G$ with exactly $k$ vertices. We give a deterministic algorithm for k-Path with time…

The shortest paths problem is a fundamental challenge in graph theory, with a broad range of potential applications. The algorithms based on matrix multiplication exhibits excellent parallelism and scalability, but is constrained by high…

Let $G$ be a unit disk graph in the plane defined by $n$ disks whose positions are known. For the case when $G$ is unweighted, we give a simple algorithm to compute a shortest path tree from a given source in $O(n\log n)$ time. For the case…

In this article, we present an approximation algorithm for solving the Weighted Region Problem amidst a set of $ n $ non-overlapping weighted disks in the plane. For a given parameter $ \varepsilon \in (0,1]$, the length of the approximate…

We address the problem of learning the topology of directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) from nodal observations, which adhere to a linear structural equation model. Recent advances framed the combinatorial DAG structure learning task as a…

We consider the class of directed graphs with $N\geq 1$ edges and without loops shorter than $k\geq1$. Using the concept of a labelled graph, we determine graphs from this class that maximize the number of all paths of length $k$. Then we…

Learning the structure of Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) presents a significant challenge due to the vast combinatorial search space of possible graphs, which scales exponentially with the number of nodes. Recent advancements have redefined…

A DAG compression of a (typically dense) graph is a simple data structure that stores how vertex clusters are connected, where the clusters are described indirectly as sets of reachable sinks in a directed acyclic graph (DAG). They…

In the decremental single-source shortest paths (SSSP) problem, the input is an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges undergoing edge deletions, together with a fixed source vertex $s\in V$. The goal is to maintain a…

A shortest-path algorithm finds a path containing the minimal cost between two vertices in a graph. A plethora of shortest-path algorithms is studied in the literature that span across multiple disciplines. This paper presents a survey of…

A Monge directed acyclic graph (DAG) $G$ on the nodes $1,2,\cdots,N$ has edges $\left( i,j\right) $ for $1\leq i<j\leq N$ carrying submodular edge-lengths. Finding a shortest $M$-link path from $1$ to $N$ in $G$ for any given $1<M<N-1$ has…
