Distributed optimization algorithms are frequently faced with solving sub-problems on disjoint connected parts of a network. Unfortunately, the diameter of these parts can be significantly larger than the diameter of the underlying network,…

For a graph $G$, a $D$-diameter-reducing exact hopset is a small set of additional edges $H$ that, when added to $G$, maintains its graph metric but guarantees that all node pairs have a shortest path in $G \cup H$ using at most $D$ edges.…

We present a simple greedy procedure to compute an $(\alpha,\beta)$-spanner for a graph $G$. We then show that this procedure is useful for building fault-tolerant spanners, as well as spanners for weighted graphs. Our first main result is…

Given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge digraph $G = (V,E)$ and a subset $S \subseteq V$ of $|S| = n^{\sigma}$ (for some $0 \le \sigma \le 1$) designated sources, the $S \times V$ reachability problem is to compute the sets $\mathcal V_s$ of vertices…

Given a directed, weighted graph $G=(V,E)$ undergoing edge insertions, the incremental single-source shortest paths (SSSP) problem asks for the maintenance of approximate distances from a dedicated source $s$ while optimizing the total time…

Given an undirected possibly weighted $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E)$ and a set $\mathcal{P}\subseteq V^2$ of pairs, a subgraph $S=(V,E')$ is called a ${\cal P}$-pairwise $\alpha$-spanner of $G$, if for every pair $(u,v)\in\mathcal{P}$ we have…

We consider the problem of computing compact routing tables for a (weighted) planar graph $G:= (V, E,w)$ in the PRAM, CONGEST, and the novel HYBRID communication model. We present algorithms with polylogarithmic work and communication that…

An $f(d)$-spanner of an unweighted $n$-vertex graph $G=(V,E)$ is a subgraph $H$ satisfying that $dist_H(u, v)$ is at most $f(dist_G(u, v))$ for every $u,v \in V$. We present new spanner constructions that achieve a nearly optimal stretch of…

A $(\beta,\epsilon)$-$\textit{hopset}$ is, informally, a weighted edge set that, when added to a graph, allows one to get from point $a$ to point $b$ using a path with at most $\beta$ edges ("hops") and length…

We describe algorithms to efficiently compute minimum $(s,t)$-cuts and global minimum cuts of undirected surface-embedded graphs. Given an edge-weighted undirected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices embedded on an orientable surface of genus $g$,…

We study a $(1+\epsilon)$-approximate single-source shortest paths (henceforth, $(1+\epsilon)$-SSSP) in $n$-vertex undirected, weighted graphs in the parallel (PRAM) model of computation. A randomized algorithm with polylogarithmic time and…

In this article, we present a construction of a spanner on a set of $n$ points in $\mathbf{R}^d$ that we call a heavy path WSPD spanner. The construction is parameterized by a constant $s > 2$ called the separation ratio. The size of the…

A prominent tool in many problems involving metric spaces is a notion of randomized low-diameter decomposition. Loosely speaking, $\beta$-decomposition refers to a probability distribution over partitions of the metric into sets of low…

All parallel algorithms for directed reachability and shortest paths crucially rely on efficient shortcut constructions. These constructions find directed paths and shortcut them by adding edges, with the goal to reduce the diameter of the…

Let $G=(V,E,w)$ be a weighted undirected graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and fix a set of $s$ sources $S\subseteq V$. We study the problem of computing {\em almost shortest paths} (ASP) for all pairs in $S \times V$ in both classical…

Dijkstra's algorithm is the standard method for computing shortest paths on arbitrary graphs. However, it is slow for large graphs, taking at least linear time. It has been long known that for real world road networks, creating a hierarchy…

We describe a distributed randomized algorithm computing approximate distances and routes that approximate shortest paths. Let n denote the number of nodes in the graph, and let HD denote the hop diameter of the graph, i.e., the diameter of…

Given a distributed network represented by a weighted undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ on $n$ vertices, and a parameter $k$, we devise a distributed algorithm that computes a routing scheme in $(n^{1/2+1/k}+D)\cdot n^{o(1)}$ rounds, where $D$ is…

We consider the standard message passing model; we assume the system is fully synchronous: all processes start at the same time and time proceeds in synchronised rounds. In each round each vertex can transmit a different message of size…

The Constraint Shortest Path (CSP) problem is as follows. An $n$-vertex graph is given, each edge/arc assigned two weights. Let us call them "cost" and "length" for definiteness. Finding a min-cost upper-bounded length path between a given…
