Cut-Query Algorithms with Few Rounds

Authors: Yotam Kenneth-Mordoch and Robert Krauthgamer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
In the cut-query model, the algorithm can access the input graph G = (V,E) only via cut queries that report, given a set S ⊆ V, the total weight of edges crossing the cut between S and V⧵ S. This model was introduced by Rubinstein, Schramm and Weinberg [ITCS'18] and its investigation has so far focused on the number of queries needed to solve optimization problems, such as global minimum cut. We turn attention to the round complexity of cut-query algorithms, and show that several classical problems can be solved in this model with only a constant number of rounds. Our main results are algorithms for finding a minimum cut in a graph, that offer different tradeoffs between round complexity and query complexity, where n = |V| and δ(G) denotes the minimum degree of G: (i) Õ(n^{4/3}) cut queries in two rounds in unweighted graphs; (ii) Õ(rn^{1+1/r}/δ(G)^{1/r}) queries in 2r+1 rounds for any integer r ≥ 1 again in unweighted graphs; and (iii) Õ(rn^{1+(1+log_n W)/r}) queries in 4r+3 rounds for any r ≥ 1 in weighted graphs. We also provide algorithms that find a minimum (s,t)-cut and approximate the maximum cut in a few rounds.

Graph Reconstruction via MIS Queries

Authors: Christian Konrad, Conor O'Sullivan, and Victor Traistaru

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 325, 16th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2025)

Abstract
In the Graph Reconstruction (GR) problem, a player initially only knows the vertex set V of an input graph G = (V, E) and is required to learn its set of edges E. To this end, the player submits queries to an oracle and must deduce E from the oracle’s answers. Angluin and Chen [Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 2008] resolved the number of Independent Set (IS) queries necessary and sufficient for GR on m-edge graphs. In this setting, each query consists of a subset of vertices U ⊆ V, and the oracle responds with a boolean, indicating whether U is an independent set in G. They gave algorithms that use O(m ⋅ log n) IS queries, which is best possible. In this paper, we initiate the study of GR via Maximal Independent Set (MIS) queries, a more powerful variant of IS queries. Given a query U ⊆ V, the oracle responds with any, potentially adversarially chosen, maximal independent set I ⊆ U in the induced subgraph G[U]. We show that, for GR, MIS queries are strictly more powerful than IS queries when parametrized by the maximum degree Δ of the input graph. We give tight (up to poly-logarithmic factors) upper and lower bounds for this problem: 1) We observe that the simple strategy of taking uniform independent random samples of V and submitting those to the oracle yields a non-adaptive randomized algorithm that executes O(Δ² ⋅ log n) queries and succeeds with high probability. This should be contrasted with the fact that Ω(Δ ⋅ n ⋅ log(n/Δ)) IS queries are required for such graphs, which shows that MIS queries are strictly more powerful than IS queries. Interestingly, combining the strategy of taking uniform random samples of V with the probabilistic method, we show the existence of a deterministic non-adaptive algorithm that executes O(Δ³ ⋅ log(n/Δ)) queries. 2) Regarding lower bounds, we prove that the additional Δ factor when going from randomized non-adaptive algorithms to deterministic non-adaptive algorithms is necessary. We show that every non-adaptive deterministic algorithm requires Ω(Δ³ / log² Δ) queries. For arbitrary randomized adaptive algorithms, we show that Ω(Δ²) queries are necessary in graphs of maximum degree Δ, and that Ω(log n) queries are necessary, even when the input graph is an n-vertex cycle.

Non-Adaptive Edge Counting and Sampling via Bipartite Independent Set Queries

Authors: Raghavendra Addanki, Andrew McGregor, and Cameron Musco

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 244, 30th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2022)

Abstract
We study the problem of estimating the number of edges in an n-vertex graph, accessed via the Bipartite Independent Set query model introduced by Beame et al. (TALG '20). In this model, each query returns a Boolean, indicating the existence of at least one edge between two specified sets of nodes. We present a non-adaptive algorithm that returns a (1± ε) relative error approximation to the number of edges, with query complexity Õ(ε^{-5}log⁵ n), where Õ(⋅) hides poly(log log n) dependencies. This is the first non-adaptive algorithm in this setting achieving poly(1/ε,log n) query complexity. Prior work requires Ω(log² n) rounds of adaptivity. We avoid this by taking a fundamentally different approach, inspired by work on single-pass streaming algorithms. Moreover, for constant ε, our query complexity significantly improves on the best known adaptive algorithm due to Bhattacharya et al. (STACS '22), which requires O(ε^{-2} log^{11} n) queries. Building on our edge estimation result, we give the first {non-adaptive} algorithm for outputting a nearly uniformly sampled edge with query complexity Õ(ε^{-6} log⁶ n), improving on the works of Dell et al. (SODA '20) and Bhattacharya et al. (STACS '22), which require Ω(log³ n) rounds of adaptivity. Finally, as a consequence of our edge sampling algorithm, we obtain a Õ(n log^8 n) query algorithm for connectivity, using two rounds of adaptivity. This improves on a three-round algorithm of Assadi et al. (ESA '21) and is tight; there is no non-adaptive algorithm for connectivity making o(n²) queries.

Improved Approximation and Scalability for Fair Max-Min Diversification

Authors: Raghavendra Addanki, Andrew McGregor, Alexandra Meliou, and Zafeiria Moumoulidou

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 220, 25th International Conference on Database Theory (ICDT 2022)

Abstract
Given an n-point metric space ({𝒳},d) where each point belongs to one of m = O(1) different categories or groups and a set of integers k₁, …, k_m, the fair Max-Min diversification problem is to select k_i points belonging to category i ∈ [m], such that the minimum pairwise distance between selected points is maximized. The problem was introduced by Moumoulidou et al. [ICDT 2021] and is motivated by the need to down-sample large data sets in various applications so that the derived sample achieves a balance over diversity, i.e., the minimum distance between a pair of selected points, and fairness, i.e., ensuring enough points of each category are included. We prove the following results: 1) We first consider general metric spaces. We present a randomized polynomial time algorithm that returns a factor 2-approximation to the diversity but only satisfies the fairness constraints in expectation. Building upon this result, we present a 6-approximation that is guaranteed to satisfy the fairness constraints up to a factor 1-ε for any constant ε. We also present a linear time algorithm returning an m+1 approximation with exact fairness. The best previous result was a 3m-1 approximation. 2) We then focus on Euclidean metrics. We first show that the problem can be solved exactly in one dimension. {For constant dimensions, categories and any constant ε > 0, we present a 1+ε approximation algorithm that runs in O(nk) + 2^{O(k)} time where k = k₁+…+k_m.} We can improve the running time to O(nk)+poly(k) at the expense of only picking (1-ε) k_i points from category i ∈ [m]. Finally, we present algorithms suitable to processing massive data sets including single-pass data stream algorithms and composable coresets for the distributed processing.
