We consider the problem of updating a directed minimum cost spanning tree (DMST), when edges are deleted from or inserted to a weighted directed graph. This problem apart from being a classic for directed graphs, is to the best of our knowledge a wide open aspect for the field of dynamic graph algorithms. Our contributions include results on the hardness of updates, a dynamic algorithm for updating a DMST, and detailed experimental analysis of the proposed algorithm exhibiting a speedup factor of at least 2 in comparison with the static practice. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
