Constant-time Connectivity Querying in Dynamic Graphs
Summary: Constant-time connectivity queries for fully dynamic undirected graphs using a novel hybrid of per-component spanning trees and a disjoint-set (DS) tree. Concurrent maintenance of both trees yields true constant query time and significantly improved edge insert/delete times, outperforming the D-tree on real datasets.
