Abstract
We obtain the following results related to dynamic versions of the shortest-paths problem: Reductions that show that the incremental and decremental single-source shortest-paths problems, for weighted directed or undirected graphs, are, in a strong sense, at least as hard as the static all-pairs shortest-paths problem. We also obtain slightly weaker results for the corresponding unweighted problems. A randomized fully-dynamic algorithm for the all-pairs shortest-paths problem in directed unweighted graphs with an amortized update time of $\tilde {O}(m\sqrt{n})$ (we use $\tilde {O}$ to hide small poly-logarithmic factors) and a worst case query time is O(n3/4). A deterministic O(n2log n) time algorithm for constructing an O(log n)-spanner with O(n) edges for any weighted undirected graph on n vertices. The algorithm uses a simple algorithm for incrementally maintaining single-source shortest-paths tree up to a given distance.
