APPROX
Weighted Matching in the Random-Order Streaming and Robust Communication Models

Authors: Diba Hashemi and Weronika Wrzos-Kaminska

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 317, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2024)


Abstract
We study the maximum weight matching problem in the random-order semi-streaming model and in the robust communication model. Unlike many other sublinear models, in these two frameworks, there is a large gap between the guarantees of the best known algorithms for the unweighted and weighted versions of the problem. In the random-order semi-streaming setting, the edges of an n-vertex graph arrive in a stream in a random order. The goal is to compute an approximate maximum weight matching with a single pass over the stream using O(npolylog n) space. Our main result is a (2/3-ε)-approximation algorithm for maximum weight matching in random-order streams, using space O(n log n log R), where R is the ratio between the heaviest and the lightest edge in the graph. Our result nearly matches the best known unweighted (2/3+ε₀)-approximation (where ε₀ ∼ 10^{-14} is a small constant) achieved by Assadi and Behnezhad [Assadi and Behnezhad, 2021], and significantly improves upon previous weighted results. Our techniques also extend to the related robust communication model, in which the edges of a graph are partitioned randomly between Alice and Bob. Alice sends a single message of size O(npolylog n) to Bob, who must compute an approximate maximum weight matching. We achieve a (5/6-ε)-approximation using O(n log n log R) words of communication, matching the results of Azarmehr and Behnezhad [Azarmehr and Behnezhad, 2023] for unweighted graphs.

Approximate Counting for Spin Systems in Sub-Quadratic Time

Authors: Konrad Anand, Weiming Feng, Graham Freifeld, Heng Guo, and Jiaheng Wang

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


Abstract
We present two randomised approximate counting algorithms with Õ(n^{2-c}/ε²) running time for some constant c > 0 and accuracy ε: 1) for the hard-core model with fugacity λ on graphs with maximum degree Δ when λ = O(Δ^{-1.5-c₁}) where c₁ = c/(2-2c); 2) for spin systems with strong spatial mixing (SSM) on planar graphs with quadratic growth, such as ℤ². For the hard-core model, Weitz’s algorithm (STOC, 2006) achieves sub-quadratic running time when correlation decays faster than the neighbourhood growth, namely when λ = o(Δ^{-2}). Our first algorithm does not require this property and extends the range where sub-quadratic algorithms exist. Our second algorithm appears to be the first to achieve sub-quadratic running time up to the SSM threshold, albeit on a restricted family of graphs. It also extends to (not necessarily planar) graphs with polynomial growth, such as ℤ^d, but with a running time of the form Õ(n²ε^{-2}/2^{c(log n)^{1/d}}) where d is the exponent of the polynomial growth and c > 0 is some constant.

RANDOM
Perfect Sampling for Hard Spheres from Strong Spatial Mixing

Authors: Konrad Anand, Andreas Göbel, Marcus Pappik, and Will Perkins

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 275, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2023)


Abstract
We provide a perfect sampling algorithm for the hard-sphere model on subsets of R^d with expected running time linear in the volume under the assumption of strong spatial mixing. A large number of perfect and approximate sampling algorithms have been devised to sample from the hard-sphere model, and our perfect sampling algorithm is efficient for a range of parameters for which only efficient approximate samplers were previously known and is faster than these known approximate approaches. Our methods also extend to the more general setting of Gibbs point processes interacting via finite-range, repulsive potentials.
