We give a randomized reduction from global minimum cut in a directed graph with $n$ vertices and $m$ weighted edges to maximum-flow computations on graphs of total size $\widetilde{O}(m)$. For polynomially bounded integral weights, this yields the first almost-linear $m^{1+o(1)}$-time algorithm [vdBCK+23], improving th...

We study the low-degree Steiner forest decomposition. Given a graph $G=(V,E)$ and a terminal set $U\subseteq V$, the standard decomposition returns a set $X\subseteq V$ of size at most $|U|/2$ and a forest $T\subseteq G-X$ of maximum degree $\Delta$ such that, for every connected component $C$ of $G-X$, some connected...

This paper presents a labeling scheme that uses $O(\log^{2}n)$-bit labels that can be computed in deterministic polynomial time and is the first labeling scheme that produces an $\tilde{O}(1)$-size labeling which is simultaneously correct across all queries.
