05291 Abstracts Collection – Sublinear Algorithms

Authors: Artur Czumaj, S. Muthu Muthukrishnan, Ronitt Rubinfeld, and Christian Sohler


Abstract
From 17.07.05 to 22.07.05, the Dagstuhl Seminar 05291 ``Sublinear Algorithms'' was held in the International Conference and Research Center (IBFI), Schloss Dagstuhl. During the seminar, several participants presented their current research, and ongoing work and open problems were discussed. Abstracts of the presentations given during the seminar as well as abstracts of seminar results and ideas are put together in this paper. The first section describes the seminar topics and goals in general. Links to extended abstracts or full papers are provided, if available.

Approximating Average Parameters of Graphs

Authors: Oded Goldreich and Dana Ron


Abstract
Inspired by Feige (36th STOC, 2004), we initiate a study of sublinear randomized algorithms for approximating average parameters of a graph. Specifically, we consider the average degree of a graph and the average distance between pairs of vertices in a graph. Since our focus is on sublinear algorithms, these algorithms access the input graph via queries to an adequate oracle. We consider two types of queries. The first type is standard neighborhood queries (i.e., what is the i'th neighbor of vertex v?), whereas the second type are queries regarding the quantities that we need to find the average of (i.e., what is the degree of vertex v? and what is the distance between u and v, respectively). Loosely speaking, our results indicate a difference between the two problems: For approximating the average degree, the standard neighbor queries suffice and in fact are preferable to degree queries. In contrast, for approximating average distances, the standard neighbor queries are of little help whereas distance queries are crucial.

Contemplations on Testing Graph Properties

Authors: Oded Goldreich


Abstract
This note documents two programmatic comments regarding testing graph properties, which I made during the workshop. The first comment advocates paying more attention to the dependence of the tester's complexity on the proximity parameter. The second comment advocates paying more attention to the question of testing general graphs (rather than dense or bounded-degree ones). In addition, this note includes a suggestion to view property testing within the framework of promise problems.
