Constructing Long Paths in Graph Streams

Authors: Christian Konrad and Chhaya Trehan

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

Abstract
In the graph stream model of computation, an algorithm processes the edges of an n-vertex input graph in one or more sequential passes while using a memory that is sublinear in the input size. The streaming model poses significant challenges for algorithmically constructing long paths. Many known algorithms that are tasked with extending an existing path as a subroutine require an entire pass over the input to add a single additional edge. This raises a fundamental question: Are multiple passes inherently necessary to construct paths of non-trivial lengths, or can a single pass suffice? To address this question, we systematically study the Longest Path problem in the one-pass streaming model. In this problem, given a desired approximation factor α, the objective is to compute a path of length at least lp(G)/α, where lp(G) is the length of a longest path in the input graph G. We study the problem in the insertion-only and the insertion-deletion streaming models, and we give algorithms as well as space lower bounds for both undirected and directed graphs. Our results are: 1) We show that for undirected graphs, in both the insertion-only and the insertion-deletion models, there are semi-streaming algorithms, i.e., algorithms that use space O(n poly log n), that compute a path of length at least d/3 with high probability, where d is the average degree of the input graph. These algorithms can also yield an α-approximation to Longest Path using space Õ(n²/α). 2) Next, we show that such a result cannot be achieved for directed graphs, even in the insertion-only model. We show that computing a (n^{1-o(1)})-approximation to Longest Path in directed graphs in the insertion-only model requires space Ω(n²). This result is in line with recent results that demonstrate that processing directed graphs is often significantly harder than undirected graphs in the streaming model. 3) We further complement our results with two additional lower bounds. First, we show that semi-streaming space is insufficient for small constant factor approximations to Longest Path for undirected graphs in the insertion-only model. Last, in undirected graphs in the insertion-deletion model, we show that computing an α-approximation requires space Ω(n²/α³).

Deterministic (2/3 - ε)-Approximation of Matroid Intersection Using Nearly-Linear Independence-Oracle Queries

Authors: Tatsuya Terao

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

Abstract
In the matroid intersection problem, we are given two matroids ℳ₁ = (V, ℐ₁) and ℳ₂ = (V, ℐ₂) defined on the same ground set V of n elements, and the objective is to find a common independent set S ∈ ℐ₁ ∩ ℐ₂ of largest possible cardinality, denoted by r. In this paper, we consider a deterministic matroid intersection algorithm with only a nearly linear number of independence oracle queries. Our contribution is to present a deterministic O(n/(ε) + r log r)-independence-query (2/3-ε)-approximation algorithm for any ε > 0. Our idea is very simple: we apply a recent Õ(n √r/ε)-independence-query (1 - ε)-approximation algorithm of Blikstad [ICALP 2021], but terminate it before completion. Moreover, we also present a semi-streaming algorithm for (2/3 -ε)-approximation of matroid intersection in O(1/ε) passes.

Algorithm Engineering of SSSP with Negative Edge Weights

Authors: Alejandro Cassis, Andreas Karrenbauer, André Nusser, and Paolo Luigi Rinaldi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 338, 23rd International Symposium on Experimental Algorithms (SEA 2025)

Abstract
Computing shortest paths is one of the most fundamental algorithmic graph problems. It is known since decades that this problem can be solved in near-linear time if all weights are nonnegative. A recent break-through by [Aaron Bernstein et al., 2022] presented a randomized near-linear time algorithm for this problem. A subsequent improvement in [Karl Bringmann et al., 2023] significantly reduced the number of logarithmic factors and thereby also simplified the algorithm. It is surprising and exciting that both of these algorithms are combinatorial and do not contain any fundamental obstacles for being practical. We launch the, to the best of our knowledge, first extensive investigation towards a practical implementation of [Karl Bringmann et al., 2023]. To this end, we give an accessible overview of the algorithm and discuss what adaptions are necessary to obtain a fast algorithm in practice. We manifest these adaptions in an efficient implementation. We test our implementation on a benchmark data set that is adapted to be more difficult for our implementation in order to allow for a fair comparison. As in [Karl Bringmann et al., 2023] as well as in our implementation there are multiple parameters to tune, we empirically evaluate their effect and thereby determine the best choices. Our implementation is then extensively compared to one of the state-of-the-art algorithms for this problem [Andrew V. Goldberg and Tomasz Radzik, 1993]. On the hardest instance type, we are faster by up to almost two orders of magnitude.

Faster Semi-Streaming Matchings via Alternating Trees

Authors: Slobodan Mitrović, Anish Mukherjee, Piotr Sankowski, and Wen-Horng Sheu

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

Abstract
We design a deterministic algorithm for the (1+ε)-approximate maximum matching problem. Our primary result demonstrates that this problem can be solved in O(ε^{-6}) semi-streaming passes, improving upon the O(ε^{-19}) pass-complexity algorithm by [Fischer, Mitrović, and Uitto, STOC'22]. This contributes substantially toward resolving Open question 2 from [Assadi, SOSA'24]. Leveraging the framework introduced in [FMU'22], our algorithm achieves an analogous round complexity speed-up for computing a (1+ε)-approximate maximum matching in both the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) and CONGEST models. The data structures maintained by our algorithm are formulated using blossom notation and represented through alternating trees. This approach enables a simplified correctness analysis by treating specific components as if operating on bipartite graphs, effectively circumventing certain technical intricacies present in prior work.

A Streaming Algorithm for the Undirected Longest Path Problem

Authors: Lasse Kliemann, Christian Schielke, and Anand Srivastav

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 57, 24th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2016)

Abstract
We present the first streaming algorithm for the longest path problem in undirected graphs. The input graph is given as a stream of edges and RAM is limited to only a linear number of edges at a time (linear in the number of vertices n). We prove a per-edge processing time of O(n), where a naive solution would have required Omega(n^2). Moreover, we give a concrete linear upper bound on the number of bits of RAM that are required. On a set of graphs with various structure, we experimentally compare our algorithm with three leading RAM algorithms: Warnsdorf (1823), Pohl-Warnsdorf (1967), and Pongrasz (2012). Although conducting only a small constant number of passes over the input, our algorithm delivers competitive results: with the exception of preferential attachment graphs, we deliver at least 71% of the solution of the best RAM algorithm. The same minimum relative performance of 71% is observed over all graph classes after removing the 10% worst cases. This comparison has strong meaning, since for each instance class there is one algorithm that on average delivers at least 84% of a Hamilton path. In some cases we deliver even better results than any of the RAM algorithms.
