Deterministic Incremental APSP with Polylogarithmic Update Time and Stretch (2211.04217v2)
Published 8 Nov 2022 in cs.DS
Abstract: We provide the first deterministic data structure that given a weighted undirected graph undergoing edge insertions, processes each update with polylogarithmic amortized update time and answers queries for the distance between any pair of vertices in the current graph with a polylogarithmic approximation in $O(\log \log n)$ time. Prior to this work, no data structure was known for partially dynamic graphs, i.e., graphs undergoing either edge insertions or deletions, with less than $n{o(1)}$ update time except for dense graphs, even when allowing randomization against oblivious adversaries or considering only single-source distances.
