Partially-Dynamic All-Pairs Maxflow and Effective Resistance via Stable Sparsifiers

A randomized data structure for undirected weighted graphs that are partially dynamic, i.e., that undergo either only edge insertions or only edge deletions is given, which follows from a simple stability principle for partially dynamic graphs.

Spread of influence in weighted networks under time and budget constraints ✩

It is proved that the problem of defining a bounded cost set of nodes S such that the influence spreading from S in G, within a given time bound, is as large as possible, and that the problem is NP-hard, even in simple networks like complete graphs and trees.

Exponential Energy Savings in Local Distributed Graph Algorithms

Investigating the energy complexity of several well-studied (local) problems in distributed graph algorithms—namely, matching and vertex cover approximations, spanners, low-outdegree orientations, and set cover, presents randomized distributed algorithms that achieve nearly exponentially smaller energy complexity.

The Cost of Changing Edges for Diameter Computation and More

This paper provides a tight reduction demonstrating that any exact distance sensitivity oracle can be used to efficiently solve decremental exact diameter and all-node eccentricities and introduces two new instructive techniques and demonstrates how to utilize them to construct several new algorithms.

Stochastic Gradient Meets Randomized Rounding: New Algorithms for Node-Weighted Steiner Problems

A new $O(\log n)$ approximation algorithm for Node Weighted Steiner Tree and Node Weighted Steiner Forest that matches the bounds of Klein&Ravi, but has the advantage that they work in the online setting when the terminal pairs are revealed in random order.

On the Best Interval Approximation Problem

This paper generalises the existing PTAS for complete graphs from a fixed to an arbitrary number of intervals and disprove an existing conjecture, which states that every instance of BIA admits a solution satisfying at least three quarters of all edges.
