The single-source shortest path problem (SSSP) with nonnegative edge weights is a notoriously difficult problem to solve efficiently in parallel---it is one of the graph problems said to suffer from the transitive-closure bottleneck. In…
We study the query complexity of the metric Steiner Tree problem, where we are given an $n \times n$ metric on a set $V$ of vertices along with a set $T \subseteq V$ of $k$ terminals, and the goal is to find a tree of minimum cost that…
A $k$-vertex connectivity oracle for undirected $G$ is a data structure that, given $u,v\in V(G)$, reports $\min\{k,\kappa(u,v)\}$, where $\kappa(u,v)$ is the pairwise vertex connectivity between $u,v$. There are three main measures of…
Let $\kappa(s,t)$ denote the maximum number of internally disjoint $st$-paths in an undirected graph $G$. We consider designing a compact data structure that answers $k$-bounded node connectivity queries: given $s,t \in V$ return…
We show optimal lower bounds for spanning forest computation in two different models: * One wants a data structure for fully dynamic spanning forest in which updates can insert or delete edges amongst a base set of $n$ vertices. The sole…
The notion of vertex sparsification is introduced in \cite{M}, where it was shown that for any graph $G = (V, E)$ and a subset of $k$ terminals $K \subset V$, there is a polynomial time algorithm to construct a graph $H = (K, E_H)$ on just…
Graph kernel is a powerful tool measuring the similarity between graphs. Most of the existing graph kernels focused on node labels or attributes and ignored graph hierarchical structure information. In order to effectively utilize graph…
Given an $n$-vertex $m$-edge graph $G$ with non negative edge-weights, the girth of $G$ is the weight of a shortest cycle in $G$. For any graph $G$ with polynomially bounded integer weights, we present a deterministic algorithm that…
We design the first efficient sensitivity oracles and dynamic algorithms for a variety of parameterized problems. Our main approach is to modify the algebraic coding technique from static parameterized algorithm design, which had not…
A spanning tree $T$ of graph $G$ is a $\rho$-approximate universal Steiner tree (UST) for root vertex $r$ if, for any subset of vertices $S$ containing $r$, the cost of the minimal subgraph of $T$ connecting $S$ is within a $\rho$ factor of…
The hypergraph minimum cut problem aims to partition its vertices into two blocks while minimizing the total weight of the cut hyperedges. This fundamental problem arises in network reliability, VLSI design, and community detection. We…
The Gomory-Hu tree, or a cut tree, is a classic data structure that stores minimum $s$-$t$ cuts of an undirected weighted graph for all pairs of nodes $(s,t)$. We propose a new approach for computing the cut tree based on a reduction to the…
We provide a simple new randomized contraction approach to the global minimum cut problem for simple undirected graphs. The contractions exploit 2-out edge sampling from each vertex rather than the standard uniform edge sampling. We…
Given a graph with a source vertex $s$, the Single Source Replacement Paths (SSRP) problem is to compute, for every vertex $t$ and edge $e$, the length $d(s,t,e)$ of a shortest path from $s$ to $t$ that avoids $e$. A Single-Source Distance…
A stable cutset is a set of vertices $S$ of a connected graph, that is pairwise non-adjacent and when deleting $S$, the graph becomes disconnected. Determining the existence of a stable cutset in a graph is known to be NP-complete. In this…
We consider the Global Minimum Vertex-Cut problem: given an undirected vertex-weighted graph $G$, compute a minimum-weight subset of its vertices whose removal disconnects $G$. The problem is closely related to Global Minimum Edge-Cut,…
Given a weighted graph $G$ and an error parameter $\epsilon > 0$, the {\em graph sparsification} problem requires sampling edges in $G$ and giving the sampled edges appropriate weights to obtain a sparse graph $G_{\epsilon}$ (containing…
Given a metric space on n points, an {\alpha}-approximate universal algorithm for the Steiner tree problem outputs a distribution over rooted spanning trees such that for any subset X of vertices containing the root, the expected cost of…
We consider the problem of preprocessing two strings $S$ and $T$, of lengths $m$ and $n$, respectively, in order to be able to efficiently answer the following queries: Given positions $i,j$ in $S$ and positions $a,b$ in $T$, return the…
Given a planar undirected n-vertex graph G with non-negative edge weights, we show how to compute, for given vertices s and t in G, a min st-cut in G in O(n loglog n) time and O(n) space. The previous best time bound was O(n log n).
