The Discrepancy of Shortest Paths

Authors: Greg Bodwin, Chengyuan Deng, Jie Gao, Gary Hoppenworth, Jalaj Upadhyay, and Chen Wang

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

Abstract
The hereditary discrepancy of a set system is a quantitative measure of the pseudorandom properties of the system. Roughly speaking, hereditary discrepancy measures how well one can 2-color the elements of the system so that each set contains approximately the same number of elements of each color. Hereditary discrepancy has numerous applications in computational geometry, communication complexity and derandomization. More recently, the hereditary discrepancy of the set system of shortest paths has found applications in differential privacy [Chen et al. SODA 23]. The contribution of this paper is to improve the upper and lower bounds on the hereditary discrepancy of set systems of unique shortest paths in graphs. In particular, we show that any system of unique shortest paths in an undirected weighted graph has hereditary discrepancy O(n^{1/4}), and we construct lower bound examples demonstrating that this bound is tight up to polylog n factors. Our lower bounds hold even for planar graphs and bipartite graphs, and improve a previous lower bound of Ω(n^{1/6}) obtained by applying the trace bound of Chazelle and Lvov [SoCG'00] to a classical point-line system of Erdős. As applications, we improve the lower bound on the additive error for differentially-private all pairs shortest distances from Ω(n^{1/6}) [Chen et al. SODA 23] to Ω̃(n^{1/4}), and we improve the lower bound on additive error for the differentially-private all sets range queries problem to Ω̃(n^{1/4}), which is tight up to polylog n factors [Deng et al. WADS 23].

The Approximate Degree of Bipartite Perfect Matching

Authors: Gal Beniamini

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 234, 37th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2022)

Abstract
The approximate degree of a Boolean function is the least degree of a real multilinear polynomial approximating it in the 𝓁_∞-norm over the Boolean hypercube. We show that the approximate degree of the Bipartite Perfect Matching function, which is the indicator over all bipartite graphs having a perfect matching of order n, is Θ̃(n^(3/2)). The upper bound is obtained by fully characterizing the unique multilinear polynomial representing the Boolean dual of the perfect matching function, over the reals. Crucially, we show that this polynomial has very small 𝓁₁-norm - only exponential in Θ(n log n). The lower bound follows by bounding the spectral sensitivity of the perfect matching function, which is the spectral radius of its cut-graph on the hypercube [Aaronson et al., 2021; Huang, 2019]. We show that the spectral sensitivity of perfect matching is exactly Θ(n^(3/2)).

An Improved Protocol for the Exactly-N Problem

Authors: Nati Linial and Adi Shraibman

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 200, 36th Computational Complexity Conference (CCC 2021)

Abstract
In the 3-players exactly-N problem the players need to decide whether x+y+z = N for inputs x,y,z and fixed N. This is the first problem considered in the multiplayer Number On the Forehead (NOF) model. Even though this is such a basic problem, no progress has been made on it throughout the years. Only recently have explicit protocols been found for the first time, yet no improvement in complexity has been achieved to date. The present paper offers the first improved protocol for the exactly-N problem. This improved protocol has also interesting consequences in additive combinatorics. As we explain below, it yields a higher lower bound on the possible density of corner-free sets in [N]×[N].

On the Communication Complexity of High-Dimensional Permutations

Authors: Nati Linial, Toniann Pitassi, and Adi Shraibman

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 124, 10th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2019)

Abstract
We study the multiparty communication complexity of high dimensional permutations in the Number On the Forehead (NOF) model. This model is due to Chandra, Furst and Lipton (CFL) who also gave a nontrivial protocol for the Exactly-n problem where three players receive integer inputs and need to decide if their inputs sum to a given integer n. There is a considerable body of literature dealing with the same problem, where (N,+) is replaced by some other abelian group. Our work can be viewed as a far-reaching extension of this line of research. We show that the known lower bounds for that group-theoretic problem apply to all high dimensional permutations. We introduce new proof techniques that reveal new and unexpected connections between NOF communication complexity of permutations and a variety of well-known problems in combinatorics. We also give a direct algorithmic protocol for Exactly-n. In contrast, all previous constructions relied on large sets of integers without a 3-term arithmetic progression.

On the practically interesting instances of MAXCUT

Authors: Yonatan Bilu, Amit Daniely, Nati Linial, and Michael Saks

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 20, 30th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2013)

Abstract
For many optimization problems, the instances of practical interest often occupy just a tiny part of the algorithm's space of instances. Following (Y. Bilu and N. Linial, 2010), we apply this perspective to MAXCUT, viewed as a clustering problem. Using a variety of techniques, we investigate practically interesting instances of this problem. Specifically, we show how to solve in polynomial time distinguished, metric, expanding and dense instances of MAXCUT under mild stability assumptions. In particular, (1 + epsilon)-stability (which is optimal) suffices for metric and dense MAXCUT. We also show how to solve in polynomial time Omega(sqrt(n))-stable instances of MAXCUT, substantially improving the best previously known result.
