Space-Efficient Depth-First Search via Augmented Succinct Graph Encodings

Authors: Michael Elberfeld, Frank Kammer, and Johannes Meintrup

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 359, 36th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2025)

Abstract
We call a graph G separable if a balanced separator can be computed for G of size O(n^ε) with ε < 1. Many real-world graphs are separable such as graphs of bounded genus, graphs of constant treewidth, and graphs excluding a fixed minor. In particular, the well-known planar graphs are separable. We present a succinct encoding of separable graphs G such that, after the encoding is computed, any number of depth-first searches (DFS) can be performed from any given start vertex, each in o(n) time and o(n) bits in the word RAM model. After the execution of a DFS, the succinct encoding of G is augmented such that the DFS tree is encoded inside the encoding while maintaining succinctness. Afterward, the encoding provides common DFS-related queries in constant time. These queries include queries such as lowest-common ancestor of two given vertices in the DFS tree or queries that output the lowpoint of a given vertex in the DFS tree. Furthermore, for planar graphs, we show that the succinct encoding can be computed in O(n) bits and expected linear time, and a compact variant can be constructed in O(n) time and bits. For other separable graph classes 𝒢 the runtime and space usage depends on the specific algorithms used to find balanced separators in graphs of 𝒢.

B-Treaps Revised: Write Efficient Randomized Block Search Trees with High Load

Authors: Roodabeh Safavi and Martin P. Seybold

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 349, 19th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS 2025)

Abstract
Uniquely represented (UR) data structures represent each logical state with a unique storage state. We study the problem of maintaining a dynamic set of n keys from a totally ordered universe in this context. UR structures are also called "strongly history independent" structures in the literature. We introduce a two-layer data structure called (α,ε)-Randomized Block Search Tree (RBST) that is uniquely represented and suitable for external memory (EM). Though RBSTs naturally generalize the well-known binary Treaps, several new ideas are needed to analyze the expected search, update, and storage efficiency in terms of block-reads, block-writes, and blocks stored. We prove that searches have O(ε^{-1} + log_α n) block-reads, that dynamic updates perform O(ε^{-1} + log_α(n)/α) block-writes and O(ε^{-2}+(1+(ε^{-1}+log n)/α)log_α n) block-reads, and that (α, ε)-RBSTs have an asymptotic load-factor of at least (1-ε) for every ε ∈ (0,1/2]. Thus (α, ε)-RBSTs improve on the known, uniquely represented B-Treap [Golovin; ICALP'09]. Compared with non-UR structures, the RBST is also, to the best of our knowledge, the first external memory structure that is storage-efficient and has a non-amortized, write-efficient update bound.

Space-Efficient Plane-Sweep Algorithms

Authors: Amr Elmasry and Frank Kammer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 64, 27th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2016)

Abstract
We introduce space-efficient plane-sweep algorithms for basic planar geometric problems. It is assumed that the input is in a read-only array of n items and that the available workspace is Theta(s) bits, where lg n <= s <= n * lg n. Three techniques that can be used as general tools in different space-efficient algorithms are introduced and employed within our algorithms. In particular, we give an almost-optimal algorithm for finding the closest pair among a set of n points that runs in O(n^2 /s + n * lg s) time. We also give a simple algorithm to enumerate the intersections of n line segments that runs in O((n^2 /s^{2/3}) * lg s + k) time, where k is the number of intersections. The counting version can be solved in O((n^2/s^{2/3}) * lg s) time. When the segments are axis-parallel, we give an O((n^2/s) * lg^{4/3} s + n^{4/3} * lg^{1/3} n)-time algorithm that counts the intersections and an O((n^2/s) * lg s * lg lg s + n * lg s + k)-time algorithm that enumerates the intersections, where k is the number of intersections. We finally present an algorithm that runs in O((n^2 /s + n * lg s) * sqrt{(n/s) * lg n}) time to calculate Klee's measure of axis-parallel rectangles.

Space-efficient Basic Graph Algorithms

Authors: Amr Elmasry, Torben Hagerup, and Frank Kammer

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 30, 32nd International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2015)

Abstract
We reconsider basic algorithmic graph problems in a setting where an n-vertex input graph is read-only and the computation must take place in a working memory of O(n) bits or little more than that. For computing connected components and performing breadth-first search, we match the running times of standard algorithms that have no memory restrictions, for depth-first search and related problems we come within a factor of \Theta(\log\log n), and for computing minimum spanning forests and single-source shortest-paths trees we come close for sparse input graphs.
