Deterministically Isolating a Perfect Matching in Bipartite Planar Graphs
We present a deterministic way of assigning small (log bit) weights to the edges of a bipartite planar graph so that the minimum weight perfect matching becomes unique. The isolati...

On Dynamic Breadth-First Search in External-Memory
We provide the first non-trivial result on dynamic breadth-first search (BFS) in external-memory: For general sparse undirected graphs of initially n nodes and O(n) edges and monot...

Sublinear Communication Protocols for Multi-Party Pointer Jumping and a Related Lower Bound
We study the one-way number-on-the-forehead (NOF) communication complexity of the k-layer pointer jumping problem with n vertices per layer. This classic problem, which has connec...
