Constructing Large Matchings via Query Access to a Maximal Matching Oracle

Lidiya Khalidah binti Khalil, Christian Konrad

摘要:

用于最大匹配的多通道流算法已经被研究了超过15年,并且今天已知各种算法结果,包括打破$1/2$ -近似障碍的$2$ -通道流算法,以及在二分图中的$O(\text{poly} \frac{1}ε)$通道和在一般图中的$O( (\frac{1}ε)^{\frac{1}ε})$或$O(\text{poly} (\frac{1}ε) \cdot \log n)$通道中运行的$(1-ε)$ -近似流算法,其中$n$是输入图的顶点数。然而,证明这种算法的不可能性结果迄今为止是难以捉摸的,并且例如,甚至还没有排除具有近似因子$0.999$的$2$通过小空间流算法的存在。最大匹配的所有多通道流算法的关键构建块是贪婪匹配算法。我们的目标是了解这种方法的局限性:如果算法只依赖于贪婪算法的调用,需要多少遍?在本文中,我们开始研究的最大匹配的多通道流算法的限制家庭的下限。我们专注于简单而强大的类算法,在每一个通过运行贪婪的顶点诱导的输入图的子图。在二分图中,我们表明,$3$通过是必要的和充分的,以提高平凡的近似因子的$1/2$:我们给了一个下界的$0.6$的近似比这样的算法,这是最佳的。我们进一步表明,$Ω( \frac{1}ε)$通过计算$(1-ε)$ -近似,即使在二分图。最后,考虑类的算法是不适合一般的图形:我们表明,$Ω(n)$通过,以改善平凡的近似因子的$1/2$。

英文摘要:

Multi-pass streaming algorithm for Maximum Matching have been studied since more than 15 years and various algorithmic results are known today, including $2$-pass streaming algorithms that break the $1/2$-approximation barrier, and $(1-ε)$-approximation streaming algorithms that run in $O(\text{poly} \frac{1}ε)$ passes in bipartite graphs and in $O( (\frac{1}ε)^{\frac{1}ε})$ or $O(\text{poly} (\frac{1}ε) \cdot \log n)$ passes in general graphs, where $n$ is the number of vertices of the input graph. However, proving impossibility results for such algorithms has so far been elusive, and, for example, even the existence of $2$-pass small space streaming algorithms with approximation factor $0.999$ has not yet been ruled out. The key building block of all multi-pass streaming algorithms for Maximum Matching is the Greedy matching algorithm. Our aim is to understand the limitations of this approach: How many passes are required if the algorithm solely relies on the invocation of the Greedy algorithm? In this paper, we initiate the study of lower bounds for restricted families of multi-pass streaming algorithms for Maximum Matching. We focus on the simple yet powerful class of algorithms that in each pass run Greedy on a vertex-induced subgraph of the input graph. In bipartite graphs, we show that $3$ passes are necessary and sufficient to improve on the trivial approximation factor of $1/2$: We give a lower bound of $0.6$ on the approximation ratio of such algorithms, which is optimal. We further show that $Ω( \frac{1}ε)$ passes are required for computing a $(1-ε)$-approximation, even in bipartite graphs. Last, the considered class of algorithms is not well-suited to general graphs: We show that $Ω(n)$ passes are required in order to improve on the trivial approximation factor of $1/2$.
