Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in distributed/parallel algorithms for processing large-scale graphs. By now, we have quite fast algorithms -- usually sublogarithmic-time and often $poly(\log\log n)$-time, or even…

We devise an algorithm that approximately computes the number of paths of length $k$ in a given directed graph with $n$ vertices up to a multiplicative error of $1 \pm \varepsilon$. Our algorithm runs in time $\varepsilon^{-2} 4^k(n+m)…

We revisit the problem of privately releasing the all-pairs shortest path distances of a weighted undirected graph up to low additive error, which was first studied by Sealfon [Sea16]. In this paper, we improve significantly on Sealfon's…

Consider the family of bounded degree graphs in any minor-closed family (such as planar graphs). Let d be the degree bound and n be the number of vertices of such a graph. Graphs in these classes have hyperfinite decompositions, where, for…

We present a randomized parallel algorithm in the {\sf PRAM} model for $k$-vertex connectivity. Given an undirected simple graph, our algorithm either finds a set of fewer than $k$ vertices whose removal disconnects the graph or reports…

Many algorithms have been developed for NP-hard problems on graphs with small treewidth $k$. For example, all problems that are expressable in linear extended monadic second order can be solved in linear time on graphs of bounded treewidth.…

It is $\mathsf{NP}$-hard to determine the minimum number of branching vertices needed in a single-source distance-preserving subgraph of an undirected graph. We show that this problem can be solved in polynomial time if the input graph is…

Computing the edit distance of two strings is one of the most basic problems in computer science and combinatorial optimization. Tree edit distance is a natural generalization of edit distance in which the task is to compute a measure of…

We revisit the classic problem of simplex range searching and related problems in computational geometry. We present a collection of new results which improve previous bounds by multiple logarithmic factors that were caused by the use of…

In this paper, we study estimators for geometric optimization problems in the sublinear geometric model. In this model, we have oracle access to a point set with size $n$ in a discrete space $[\Delta]^d$, where queries can be made to an…

We give the first super-polynomial separation in the power of bounded-depth boolean formulas vs. circuits. Specifically, we consider the problem Distance $k(n)$ Connectivity, which asks whether two specified nodes in a graph of size $n$ are…

A distance labeling scheme labels the $n$ nodes of a graph with binary strings such that, given the labels of any two nodes, one can determine the distance in the graph between the two nodes by looking only at the labels. A $D$-preserving…

We give an improved connectivity oracle under vertex failures. After a set of $k$ vertices fails, our oracle performs an $O(k^{6})$-time update independent of the graph size $n$, and then answers pairwise connectivity queries in optimal…

We demonstrate that for expander graphs, for all $\epsilon > 0,$ there exists a data structure of size $\widetilde{O}(n\epsilon^{-1})$ which can be used to return $(1 + \epsilon)$-approximations to effective resistances in…

It is known that a better than $2$-approximation algorithm for the girth in dense directed unweighted graphs needs $n^{3-o(1)}$ time unless one uses fast matrix multiplication. Meanwhile, the best known approximation factor for a…

Modern tracking technology has made the collection of large numbers of densely sampled trajectories of moving objects widely available. We consider a fundamental problem encountered when analysing such data: Given $n$ polygonal curves $S$…

Arising from structural graph theory, treewidth has become a focus of study in fixed-parameter tractable algorithms in various communities including combinatorics, integer-linear programming, and numerical analysis. Many NP-hard problems…

One of the most fundamental graph problems is finding a shortest path from a source to a target node. While in its basic forms the problem has been studied extensively and efficient algorithms are known, it becomes significantly harder as…

We consider the task of graph exploration. An $n$-node graph has unlabeled nodes, and all ports at any node of degree $d$ are arbitrarily numbered $0,\dots, d-1$. A mobile agent has to visit all nodes and stop. The exploration time is the…

We consider the following graph reconstruction problem: given an unweighted connected graph $G = (V,E)$ with visible vertex set $V$ and an oracle which takes two vertices $u,v \in V$ and returns the shortest path distance between $u$ and…
