We present a simple space saving trick that applies to many previous algorithms for transitive closure and shortest paths in dynamic directed graphs. In these problems, an update c...
A low-distortion embedding between two metric spaces is a mapping which preserves the distances between each pair of points, up to a small factor called distortion. Low-distortion...

We define the k-path tree matroid, and use it to solve network design problems in which the required connectivity is arbitrary for a given pair of nodes, and 1 for the other pairs...
We are interested in this paper to study scheduling problems in systems where many users compete to perform their respective jobs on shared parallel resources. Each user has speci...
We give a simple framework which is an alternative to the celebrated and widely used shifting strategy of Hochbaum and Maass [J. ACM, 1985] which has yielded efficient algorithms ...
