On some fine-grained questions in algorithms and complexity

VV Williams - Proceedings of the international congress of …, 2018 - World Scientific
In recent years, a new “fine-grained” theory of computational hardness has been developed,
based on “fine-grained reductions” that focus on exact running times for problems …

[書籍][B] Algorithms on trees and graphs

G Valiente - 2002 - Springer
The notion of graph which is most useful in computer science is that of a directed graph or
just a graph. A graph is a combinatorial structure consisting of a finite nonempty set of …

Tight hardness for shortest cycles and paths in sparse graphs

A Lincoln, VV Williams, R Williams - Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth Annual …, 2018 - SIAM
Fine-grained reductions have established equivalences between many core problems with
Õ (n 3)-time algorithms on n-node weighted graphs, such as Shortest Cycle, All-Pairs …

Breaking the cubic barrier for all-pairs max-flow: Gomory-hu tree in nearly quadratic time

A Abboud, R Krauthgamer, J Li… - 2022 IEEE 63rd …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In 1961, Gomory and Hu showed that the All-Pairs Max-Flow problem of computing the max-
flow between all n\2 pairs of vertices in an undirected graph can be solved using only n-1 …

[PDF][PDF] New graph decompositions and combinatorial boolean matrix multiplication algorithms

A Abboud, N Fischer, Z Kelley, S Lovett… - Proceedings of the 56th …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We revisit the fundamental Boolean Matrix Multiplication (BMM) problem. With the invention
of algebraic fast matrix multiplication over 50 years ago, it also became known that BMM can …

More consequences of falsifying SETH and the orthogonal vectors conjecture

A Abboud, K Bringmann, H Dell… - Proceedings of the 50th …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
The Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis and the OV-conjecture are two popular hardness
assumptions used to prove a plethora of lower bounds, especially in the realm of polynomial …

New algorithms and hardness for incremental single-source shortest paths in directed graphs

M Probst Gutenberg, V Vassilevska Williams… - Proceedings of the 52nd …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
In the dynamic Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP) problem, we are given a graph G=(V,
E) subject to edge insertions and deletions and a source vertex s∈ V, and the goal is to …

Voronoi Diagrams on Planar Graphs, and Computing the Diameter in Deterministic Time

P Gawrychowski, H Kaplan, S Mozes, M Sharir… - SIAM Journal on …, 2021 - SIAM
We present an explicit and efficient construction of additively weighted Voronoi diagrams on
planar graphs. Let G be a planar graph with n vertices and b sites that lie on a constant …

Tight fine-grained bounds for direct access on join queries

K Bringmann, N Carmeli, S Mengel - ACM Transactions on Database …, 2025 - dl.acm.org
We consider the task of lexicographic direct access to query answers. That is, we want to
simulate an array containing the answers of a join query sorted in a lexicographic order …

Listing cliques from smaller cliques

M Dalirrooyfard, S Mathialagan, VV Williams… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We study finding and listing $ k $-cliques in a graph, for constant $ k\geq 3$, a fundamental
problem of both theoretical and practical importance. Our main contribution is a new output …
