In this paper, we survey fully dynamic algorithms for path problems on general directed graphs.

In this survey, we will make a special effort to abstract some combinatorial and algebraic properties, and some common data-structural tools that are at the base of those techniques. This will help us try to present some of the newest results in a unifying framework so that they can be better understood and deployed also by non-specialists.

Abstract

In this paper, we survey fully dynamic algorithms for path problems on general directed graphs. In particular, we consider two fundamental problems: dynamic transitive closure and dynamic shortest paths. Although research on these problems spans over more than three decades, in the last couple of years many novel algorithmic techniques have been proposed. In this survey, we will make a special effort to abstract some combinatorial and algebraic properties, and some common data-structural tools that are at the base of those techniques. This will help us try to present some of the newest results in a unifying framework so that they can be better understood and deployed also by non-specialists.
