摘要:

图绘制是一种强大的范例,用于通过Ahn,Guha和McGregor(SODA'12)引入的线性测量来分析图结构,此后在流,分布式计算和大规模并行算法等中找到了许多应用。图的草图已被证明是相当成功的各种问题,如连接,最小生成树,边或顶点连接,削减或频谱稀疏。然而,一个图的近似最短路径度量的问题,特别是计算一个最短路径的问题,显然是从成功的列表中缺失的。这使这一根本问题的地位成为这一领域最长期悬而未决的问题之一。我们提出了一个部分的解释,这种缺乏成功的证明一个强大的下限为一个大家庭的图形绘制算法,包括以前的工作spectrometry和许多(但重要的是不是所有)相关的切割为基础的问题上面提到的。我们的下界匹配的算法边界的Filtser,Kapralov,和Nouri(SODA'21),最近的结果,低阶项,通过相同的图形素描家庭构建spectrometry。这建立了这些界限的近最优性,至少限于这个家庭的图形素描技术,并在后者的工作中提出的猜想取得进展。

英文摘要:

Graph sketching is a powerful paradigm for analyzing graph structure via linear measurements introduced by Ahn, Guha, and McGregor (SODA'12) that has since found numerous applications in streaming, distributed computing, and massively parallel algorithms, among others. Graph sketching has proven to be quite successful for various problems such as connectivity, minimum spanning trees, edge or vertex connectivity, and cut or spectral sparsifiers. Yet, the problem of approximating shortest path metric of a graph, and specifically computing a spanner, is notably missing from the list of successes. This has turned the status of this fundamental problem into one of the most longstanding open questions in this area. We present a partial explanation of this lack of success by proving a strong lower bound for a large family of graph sketching algorithms that encompasses prior work on spanners and many (but importantly not also all) related cut-based problems mentioned above. Our lower bound matches the algorithmic bounds of the recent result of Filtser, Kapralov, and Nouri (SODA'21), up to lower order terms, for constructing spanners via the same graph sketching family. This establishes near-optimality of these bounds, at least restricted to this family of graph sketching techniques, and makes progress on a conjecture posed in this latter work.
