A Dynamic Graph Network is a graph in which each edge has an associated travel time and a capacity (width) that limits the number of items that can travel in parallel along that edge. Each vertex in this dynamic graph network begins with the number of items that must be evacuated into designated sink vertices. A $k$-sink evacuation protocol finds the location of $k$ sinks and associated evacuation movement protocol that allows evacuating all the items to a sink in minimum time. The associated evacuation movement must impose a confluent flow, i.e, all items passing through a particular vertex exit that vertex using the same edge. In this paper we address the $k$-sink evacuation problem on a dynamic path network. We provide solutions that run in $O(n log n)$ time for $k=1$ and $O(k n log^2 n)$ for $k >1$ and work for arbitrary edge capacities.

In this paper I investigate several offline and online data transfer scheduling problems and propose efficient algorithms and techniques for addressing them. In the offline case, I present a novel, heuristic, algorithm for scheduling files with divis
ible sizes on multiple disjoint paths, in order to maximize the total profit (the problem is equivalent to the multiple knapsack problem with divisible item sizes). I then consider a cost optimization problem for transferring a sequence of identical files, subject to time constraints imposed by the data transfer providers. For the online case I propose an algorithmic framework based on the block partitioning method, which can speed up the process of resource allocation and reservation.
In this paper we revisit the classical Edge Disjoint Paths (EDP) problem, where one is given an undirected graph G and a set of terminal pairs P and asks whether G contains a set of pairwise edge-disjoint paths connecting every terminal pair in P. Ou
r focus lies on structural parameterizations for the problem that allow for efficient (polynomial-time or fpt) algorithms. As our first result, we answer an open question stated in Fleszar, Mnich, and Spoerhase (2016), by showing that the problem can be solved in polynomial time if the input graph has a feedback vertex set of size one. We also show that EDP parameterized by the treewidth and the maximum degree of the input graph is fixed-parameter tractable. Having developed two novel algorithms for EDP using structural restrictions on the input graph, we then turn our attention towards the augmented graph, i.e., the graph obtained from the input graph after adding one edge between every terminal pair. In constrast to the input graph, where EDP is known to remain NP-hard even for treewidth two, a result by Zhou et al. (2000) shows that EDP can be solved in non-uniform polynomial time if the augmented graph has constant treewidth; we note that the possible improvement of this result to an fpt-algorithm has remained open since then. We show that this is highly unlikely by establishing the W[1]-hardness of the problem parameterized by the treewidth (and even feedback vertex set) of the augmented graph. Finally, we develop an fpt-algorithm for EDP by exploiting a novel structural parameter of the augmented graph.
The problem of finding the maximum number of vertex-disjoint uni-color paths in an edge-colored graph (called MaxCDP) has been recently introduced in literature, motivated by applications in social network analysis. In this paper we investigate how t
he complexity of the problem depends on graph parameters (namely the number of vertices to remove to make the graph a collection of disjoint paths and the size of the vertex cover of the graph), which makes sense since graphs in social networks are not random and have structure. The problem was known to be hard to approximate in polynomial time and not fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) for the natural parameter. Here, we show that it is still hard to approximate, even in FPT-time. Finally, we introduce a new variant of the problem, called MaxCDDP, whose goal is to find the maximum number of vertex-disjoint and color-disjoint uni-color paths. We extend some of the results of MaxCDP to this new variant, and we prove that unlike MaxCDP, MaxCDDP is already hard on graphs at distance two from disjoint paths.
In this thesis, we present new techniques to deal with fundamental algorithmic graph problems where graphs are directed and partially dynamic, i.e. undergo either a sequence of edge insertions or deletions: - Single-Source Reachability (SSR), - S
trongly-Connected Components (SCCs), and - Single-Source Shortest Paths (SSSP). These problems have recently received an extraordinary amount of attention due to their role as subproblems in various more complex and notoriously hard graph problems, especially to compute flows, bipartite matchings and cuts. Our techniques lead to the first near-optimal data structures for these problems in various different settings. Letting $n$ denote the number of vertices in the graph and by $m$ the maximum number of edges in any version of the graph, we obtain - the first randomized data structure to maintain SSR and SCCs in near-optimal total update time $tilde{O}(m)$ in a graph undergoing edge deletions. - the first randomized data structure to maintain SSSP in partially dynamic graphs in total update time $tilde{O}(n^2)$ which is near-optimal in dense graphs. - the first deterministic data structures for SSR and SCC for graphs undergoing edge deletions, and for SSSP in partially dynamic graphs that improve upon the $O(mn)$ total update time by Even and Shiloach from 1981 that is often considered to be a fundamental barrier.
In this paper we study the fundamental problem of maintaining a dynamic collection of strings under the following operations: concat - concatenates two strings, split - splits a string into two at a given position, compare - finds the lexicographical
order (less, equal, greater) between two strings, LCP - calculates the longest common prefix of two strings. We present an efficient data structure for this problem, where an update requires only $O(log n)$ worst-case time with high probability, with $n$ being the total length of all strings in the collection, and a query takes constant worst-case time. On the lower bound side, we prove that even if the only possible query is checking equality of two strings, either updates or queries take amortized $Omega(log n)$ time; hence our implementation is optimal. Such operations can be used as a basic building block to solve other string problems. We provide two examples. First, we can augment our data structure to provide pattern matching queries that may locate occurrences of a specified pattern $p$ in the strings in our collection in optimal $O(|p|)$ time, at the expense of increasing update time to $O(log^2 n)$. Second, we show how to maintain a history of an edited text, processing updates in $O(log t log log t)$ time, where $t$ is the number of edits, and how to support pattern matching queries against the whole history in $O(|p| log t log log t)$ time. Finally, we note that our data structure can be applied to test dynamic tree isomorphism and to compare strings generated by dynamic straight-line grammars.
