Maximum-Weight Matching in Sliding Windows and Beyond

Authors: Leyla Biabani, Mark de Berg, and Morteza Monemizadeh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 212, 32nd International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2021)


Abstract
We study the maximum-weight matching problem in the sliding-window model. In this model, we are given an adversarially ordered stream of edges of an underlying edge-weighted graph G(V,E), and a parameter L specifying the window size, and we want to maintain an approximation of the maximum-weight matching of the current graph G(t); here G(t) is defined as the subgraph of G consisting of the edges that arrived during the time interval [max(t-L,1),t], where t is the current time. The goal is to do this with Õ(n) space, where n is the number of vertices of G. We present a deterministic (3.5+ε)-approximation algorithm for this problem, thus significantly improving the (6+ε)-approximation algorithm due to Crouch and Stubbs [Michael S. Crouch and Daniel M. Stubbs, 2014]. We also present a generic machinery for approximating subadditve functions in the sliding-window model. A function f is called subadditive if for every disjoint substreams A, B of a stream S it holds that f(AB) ⩽ f(A) + f(B), where AB denotes the concatenation of A and B. We show that given an α-approximation algorithm for a subadditive function f in the insertion-only model we can maintain a (2α+ε)-approximation of f in the sliding-window model. This improves upon recent result Krauthgamer and Reitblat [Robert Krauthgamer and David Reitblat, 2019], who obtained a (2α²+ε)-approximation.

Metatheorems for Dynamic Weighted Matching

Authors: Daniel Stubbs and Virginia Vassilevska Williams

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 67, 8th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2017)


Abstract
We consider the maximum weight matching (MWM) problem in dynamic graphs. We provide two reductions. The first reduces the dynamic MWM problem on m-edge, n-node graphs with weights bounded by N to the problem with weights bounded by (n/eps)^2, so that if the MWM problem can be alpha-approximated with update time t(m,n,N), then it can also be (1+eps)alpha-approximated with update time O(t(m,n,(n/eps)^2)log^2 n+log n loglog N)). The second reduction reduces the dynamic MWM problem to the dynamic maximum cardinality matching (MCM) problem in which the graph is unweighted. This reduction shows that if there is an \alpha-approximation algorithm for MCM with update time t(m,n) in m-edge n-node graphs, then there is also a (2+eps)alpha-approximation algorithm for MWM with update time O(t(m,n)eps^{-2}log^2 N). We also obtain better bounds in our reductions if the ratio between the largest and the smallest edge weight is small. Combined with recent work on MCM, these two reductions substantially improve upon the state-of-the-art of dynamic MWM algorithms.

Improved Streaming Algorithms for Weighted Matching, via Unweighted Matching

Authors: Michael Crouch and Daniel M. Stubbs

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 28, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2014)


Abstract
We present a (4 + epsilon) approximation algorithm for weighted graph matching which applies in the semistreaming, sliding window, and MapReduce models; this single algorithm improves the previous best algorithm in each model. The algorithm operates by reducing the maximum-weight matching problem to a polylog number of copies of the maximum-cardinality matching problem. The algorithm also extends to provide approximation guarantees for the more general problem of finding weighted independent sets in p-systems (which include intersections of p matroids and p-bounded hypergraph matching).
