Title

Deterministic Edge Connectivity in Near-Linear Times

The citation for the award

"Determining the edge connectivity of a graph is one of the most fundamental graph problems. Kawarabayashi and Thorup's work does not just improve the running time of the algorithm, impressive as that is. Its main contributions are conceptual:the paper introduces powerful and impactful new ideas that will have a long-lasting influence on the field. The most powerful of these ideas is a fast deterministic sparsification that essentially preserves all the non-trivial minimum cuts of the graph. "
