Computing the Shortest Essential Cycle
An essential cycle on a surface is a simple cycle that cannot be continuously deformed to a point or a single boundary. We describe algorithms to compute the shortest essential cy...

Tightening Nonsimple Paths and Cycles on Surfaces
We describe algorithms to compute the shortest path homotopic to a given path, or the shortest cycle freely homotopic to a given cycle, on an orientable combinatorial surface. Unli...

Computing the Girth of a Planar Graph
We give an O(n log n) algorithm for computing the girth (shortest cycle) of an undirected n-vertex planar graph. Our solution extends to any graph of bounded genus. This improves u...

Finding shortest non-trivial cycles in directed graphs on surfaces
Let D be a weighted directed graph cellularly embedded in a surface of genus g, orientable or not, possibly with boundary. We describe algorithms to compute a shortest non-contrac...

Minimum cuts and shortest homologous cycles
We describe the first algorithms to compute minimum cuts in surface-embedded graphs in near-linear time. Given an undirected graph embedded on an orientable surface of genus g, w...
