Streaming Maximal Matching with Bounded Deletions

Authors: Sanjeev Khanna, Christian Konrad, and Jacques Dark

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 334, 52nd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2025)

Abstract
We initiate the study of the Maximal Matching problem in bounded-deletion graph streams. In this setting, a graph G is revealed as an arbitrary sequence of edge insertions and deletions, where the number of insertions is unrestricted but the number of deletions is guaranteed to be at most K, for some given parameter K. The single-pass streaming space complexity of this problem is known to be Θ(n²) when K is unrestricted, where n is the number of vertices of the input graph. In this work, we present new randomized and deterministic algorithms and matching lower bound results that together give a tight understanding (up to poly-log factors) of how the space complexity of Maximal Matching evolves as a function of the parameter K: The randomized space complexity of this problem is Θ̃(n ⋅ √K), while the deterministic space complexity is Θ̃(n ⋅ K). We further show that if we relax the maximal matching requirement to an α-approximation to Maximum Matching, for any constant α > 2, then the space complexity for both, deterministic and randomized algorithms, strikingly changes to Θ̃(n + K). A key conceptual contribution of our work that underlies all our algorithmic results is the introduction of the hierarchical maximal matching data structure, which computes a hierarchy of L maximal matchings on the substream of edge insertions, for an integer L. This deterministic data structure allows recovering a Maximal Matching even in the presence of up to L-1 edge deletions, which immediately yields an optimal deterministic algorithm with space Õ(n ⋅ K). To reduce the space to Õ(n ⋅ √K), we compute only √K levels of our hierarchical matching data structure and utilize a randomized linear sketch, i.e., our matching repair data structure, to repair any damage due to edge deletions. Using our repair data structure, we show that the level that is least affected by deletions can be repaired back to be globally maximal. The repair data structure is computed independently of the hierarchical maximal matching data structure and stores information for vertices at different scales with a gradually smaller set of vertices storing more and more information about their incident edges. The repair process then makes progress either by rematching a vertex to a previously unmatched vertex, or by strategically matching it to another matched vertex whose current mate is in a better position to find a new mate in that we have stored more information about its incident edges. Our lower bound result for randomized algorithms is obtained by establishing a lower bound for a generalization of the well-known Augmented-Index problem in the one-way two-party communication setting that we refer to as Embedded-Augmented-Index, and then showing that an instance of Embedded-Augmented-Index reduces to computing a maximal matching in bounded-deletion streams. To obtain our lower bound for deterministic algorithms, we utilize a compression argument to show that a deterministic algorithm with space o(n ⋅ K) would yield a scheme to compress a suitable class of graphs below the information-theoretic threshold.

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.

Constructing Large Matchings via Query Access to a Maximal Matching Oracle

Authors: Lidiya Khalidah binti Khalil and Christian Konrad

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 182, 40th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2020)

Abstract
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(poly 1/ε) passes in bipartite graphs and in O((1/ε)^(1/ε)) or O(poly (1/ε) ⋅ 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(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.
