A Spectral Approach to Approximately Counting Independent Sets in Dense Bipartite Graphs

Authors: Charlie Carlson, Ewan Davies, Alexandra Kolla, and Aditya Potukuchi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 297, 51st International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2024)


Abstract
We give a randomized algorithm that approximates the number of independent sets in a dense, regular bipartite graph - in the language of approximate counting, we give an FPRAS for #BIS on the class of dense, regular bipartite graphs. Efficient counting algorithms typically apply to "high-temperature" problems on bounded-degree graphs, and our contribution is a notable exception as it applies to dense graphs in a low-temperature setting. Our methods give a counting-focused complement to the long line of work in combinatorial optimization showing that CSPs such as Max-Cut and Unique Games are easy on dense graphs via spectral arguments. Our contributions include a novel extension of the method of graph containers that differs considerably from other recent low-temperature algorithms. The additional key insights come from spectral graph theory and have previously been successful in approximation algorithms. As a result, we can overcome some limitations that seem inherent to the aforementioned class of algorithms. In particular, we exploit the fact that dense, regular graphs exhibit a kind of small-set expansion (i.e., bounded threshold rank), which, via subspace enumeration, lets us enumerate small cuts efficiently.

RANDOM
On the List Recoverability of Randomly Punctured Codes

Authors: Ben Lund and Aditya Potukuchi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 176, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2020)


Abstract
We show that a random puncturing of a code with good distance is list recoverable beyond the Johnson bound. In particular, this implies that there are Reed-Solomon codes that are list recoverable beyond the Johnson bound. It was previously known that there are Reed-Solomon codes that do not have this property. As an immediate corollary to our main theorem, we obtain better degree bounds on unbalanced expanders that come from Reed-Solomon codes.

A Spectral Bound on Hypergraph Discrepancy

Authors: Aditya Potukuchi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 168, 47th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2020)


Abstract
Let ℋ be a t-regular hypergraph on n vertices and m edges. Let M be the m × n incidence matrix of ℋ and let us denote λ = max_{v ∈ 𝟏^⟂} 1/‖v‖ ‖Mv‖. We show that the discrepancy of ℋ is O(√t + λ). As a corollary, this gives us that for every t, the discrepancy of a random t-regular hypergraph with n vertices and m ≥ n edges is almost surely O(√t) as n grows. The proof also gives a polynomial time algorithm that takes a hypergraph as input and outputs a coloring with the above guarantee.

On the AC^0[oplus] Complexity of Andreev’s Problem

Authors: Aditya Potukuchi

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 150, 39th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2019)


Abstract
Andreev’s Problem is the following: Given an integer d and a subset of S subset F_q x F_q, is there a polynomial y = p(x) of degree at most d such that for every a in F_q, (a,p(a)) in S? We show an AC^0[oplus] lower bound for this problem. This problem appears to be similar to the list recovery problem for degree-d Reed-Solomon codes over F_q which states the following: Given subsets A_1,...,A_q of F_q, output all (if any) the Reed-Solomon codewords contained in A_1 x *s x A_q. In particular, we study this problem when the lists A_1, ..., A_q are randomly chosen, and are of a certain size. This may be of independent interest.
