动态图流中匹配和顶点覆盖的最优下界

Optimal Lower Bounds for Matching and Vertex Cover in Dynamic Graph Streams

Jacques Dark, Christian Konrad

摘要:

本文给出了删除近似最大匹配和最小顶点覆盖的单向两方通信复杂性的简单最优下界。在我们的模型中,Alice持有一组边,并向Bob发送一条消息。Bob持有一组边删除,它们形成Alice的边的子集,并且需要报告未被删除的边所跨越的图中的大匹配或小顶点覆盖。我们的结果意味着最大匹配和最小顶点覆盖的插入删除流算法的最优空间下界。此前,Assadi等人[SODA 2016]通过通信的同时模型给出了最大匹配的插入-删除流算法的最佳空间下限。我们的下界在几个方面更简单和更强:Assadi等人的下界仅适用于以下算法:(1)能够处理$n$中包含三倍指数删除的流,输入图的顶点数;(2)能够处理多重图;(3)当随机算法出错时,从不输出输入图中不存在的边。相比之下,我们的下限甚至适用于以下算法:(1)依赖于短($O(n^2)$长度)输入流;(2)只能处理简单的图形;(3)当算法出错时可能输出不存在的边。

英文摘要:

In this paper, we give simple optimal lower bounds on the one-way two-party communication complexity of approximate Maximum Matching and Minimum Vertex Cover with deletions. In our model, Alice holds a set of edges and sends a single message to Bob. Bob holds a set of edge deletions, which form a subset of Alice's edges, and needs to report a large matching or a small vertex cover in the graph spanned by the edges that are not deleted. Our results imply optimal space lower bounds for insertion-deletion streaming algorithms for Maximum Matching and Minimum Vertex Cover. Previously, Assadi et al. [SODA 2016] gave an optimal space lower bound for insertion-deletion streaming algorithms for Maximum Matching via the simultaneous model of communication. Our lower bound is simpler and stronger in several aspects: The lower bound of Assadi et al. only holds for algorithms that (1) are able to process streams that contain a triple exponential number of deletions in $n$, the number of vertices of the input graph; (2) are able to process multi-graphs; and (3) never output edges that do not exist in the input graph when the randomized algorithm errs. In contrast, our lower bound even holds for algorithms that (1) rely on short ($O(n^2)$-length) input streams; (2) are only able to process simple graphs; and (3) may output non-existing edges when the algorithm errs.
