New results on linear size distance preservers

G Bodwin - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2021 - SIAM
Given p node pairs in an n-node graph, a distance preserver is a sparse subgraph that
agrees with the original graph on all of the given pairwise distances. We prove the following …

New Separations and Reductions for Directed Hopsets and Preservers

G Hoppenworth, Y Xu, Z Xu - Proceedings of the 2025 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2025 - SIAM
We study distance preservers, hopsets, and shortcut sets in n-node, m-edge directed
graphs, and show improved bounds and new reductions for various settings for these …

Linear size distance preservers

G Bodwin - Proceedings of the Twenty-Eighth Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2017 - SIAM
The famous shortest path tree lemma states that, for any node s in a graph G=(V, E), there is
a subgraph on O (n) edges that preserves all distances between node pairs in the set {s}× V …

Reachability preservers: New extremal bounds and approximation algorithms

A Abboud, G Bodwin - Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2018 - SIAM
In this paper we prove new results about the extremal structure of paths in directed graphs.
Say we are given a directed graph G=(V, E) on n nodes, a set of sources S⊆ V of size| S|= n …

Minimum+1 (s, t)-cuts and Dual-edge Sensitivity Oracle

S Baswana, K Bhanja, A Pandey - ACM Transactions on Algorithms, 2023 - dl.acm.org
Let G be a directed multi-graph on n vertices and m edges with a designated source vertex s
and a designated sink vertex t. We study the (s, t)-cuts of capacity minimum+ 1 and as an …

Algorithms and lower bounds for replacement paths under multiple edge failure

integer f, given a directed weighted graph with no negative cycles and two fixed vertices s …

\~{O} ptimal Dual Vertex Failure Connectivity Labels

M Parter, A Petruschka - arxiv preprint arxiv:2208.10168, 2022 - arxiv.org
In this paper we present succinct labeling schemes for supporting connectivity queries under
vertex faults. For a given $ n $-vertex graph $ G $, an $ f $-VFT (resp., EFT) connectivity …

New extremal bounds for reachability and strong-connectivity preservers under failures

D Chakraborty, K Choudhary - arxiv preprint arxiv:2004.12890, 2020 - arxiv.org
In this paper, we consider the question of computing sparse subgraphs for any input directed
graph $ G=(V, E) $ on $ n $ vertices and $ m $ edges, that preserves reachability and/or …
