Incremental Graph Computations: Doable and Undoable

Summary: Incremental graph computations: for standard queries such as traversal, connectivity, and pattern matching the incremental problem is unbounded. Introduces localizable and bounded-by-batch notions; gives algorithms that localize updates or reuse batch checks, validated on real graphs. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
