围长的次二次近似算法

New Subquadratic Approximation Algorithms for the Girth

Søren Dahlgaard, Mathias Bæk Tejs Knudsen, Morten Stöckel

摘要:

本文研究了一个无权无向图$G=(V,E)$的围长$g$的近似问题,该图具有$n$节点和$m$边.一个开创性的结果Itai和Rodeh [SICOMP'78]给出了一个添加剂$1$ -近似在$O(n^2)$时间,和主要的开放问题是如何以及我们可以做次二次时间。在本文中,我们提出了两个主要结果。第一个是真正次二次时间的$(1+\varepsilon,O(1))$近似。具体来说,对于任何$k\ge 2$,我们的算法返回一个周期长度为$2\lceil g/2\rceil+2\left\lceil\frac{g}{2(k-1)}\right\rceil$在$\tilde{O}(n^{2-1/k})$时间。这推广了Lingas和Lundell [IPL'09]的结果,他们针对$k=2$的特殊情况进行了证明,Roditty和Vassilevska Williams [SODA'12]针对$k=3$进行了证明。我们的第二个结果是提出一个$O(1)$ -近似运行在$O(n^{1+\varepsilon})$时间为任何$\varepsilon > 0$。在此之前的工作最快的常数因子近似是$\tilde{O}(n^{3/2})$时间$8/3$近似的Lingas和Lundell [IPL'09]使用的算法对应于我们的第一个结果的特殊情况$k=2$。

英文摘要:

We consider the problem of approximating the girth, $g$, of an unweighted and undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with $n$ nodes and $m$ edges. A seminal result of Itai and Rodeh [SICOMP'78] gave an additive $1$-approximation in $O(n^2)$ time, and the main open question is thus how well we can do in subquadratic time. In this paper we present two main results. The first is a $(1+\varepsilon,O(1))$-approximation in truly subquadratic time. Specifically, for any $k\ge 2$ our algorithm returns a cycle of length $2\lceil g/2\rceil+2\left\lceil\frac{g}{2(k-1)}\right\rceil$ in $\tilde{O}(n^{2-1/k})$ time. This generalizes the results of Lingas and Lundell [IPL'09] who showed it for the special case of $k=2$ and Roditty and Vassilevska Williams [SODA'12] who showed it for $k=3$. Our second result is to present an $O(1)$-approximation running in $O(n^{1+\varepsilon})$ time for any $\varepsilon > 0$. Prior to this work the fastest constant-factor approximation was the $\tilde{O}(n^{3/2})$ time $8/3$-approximation of Lingas and Lundell [IPL'09] using the algorithm corresponding to the special case $k=2$ of our first result.
