Edge estimation with independent set oracles

P Beame, S Har-Peled, SN Ramamoorthy… - ACM Transactions on …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
We study the task of estimating the number of edges in a graph, where the access to the
graph is provided via an independent set oracle. Independent set queries draw motivation …

Vector-matrix-vector queries for solving linear algebra, statistics, and graph problems

C Rashtchian, DP Woodruff, H Zhu - arXiv preprint arXiv:2006.14015, 2020 - arxiv.org
We consider the general problem of learning about a matrix through vector-matrix-vector
queries. These queries provide the value of $\boldsymbol {u}^{\mathrm {T}}\boldsymbol …

Approximately counting and sampling small witnesses using a colorful decision oracle

H Dell, J Lapinskas, K Meeks - SIAM Journal on Computing, 2022 - SIAM
In this paper, we design efficient algorithms to approximately count the number of edges of a
given k-hypergraph, and to sample an approximately uniform random edge. The hypergraph …

Fredman's Trick Meets Dominance Product: Fine-Grained Complexity of Unweighted APSP, 3SUM Counting, and More

TM Chan, V Vassilevska Williams, Y Xu - Proceedings of the 55th …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
In this paper we carefully combine Fredman's trick [SICOMP'76] and Matoušek's approach

We study the problem of estimating the number of edges in an $ n $-vertex graph, accessed
via the Bipartite Independent Set query model introduced by Beame et al.(ITCS'18). In this …

Graph connectivity and single element recovery via linear and OR queries

S Assadi, D Chakrabarty, S Khanna - arXiv preprint arXiv:2007.06098, 2020 - arxiv.org
We study the problem of finding a spanning forest in an undirected, $ n $-vertex multi-graph
under two basic query models. One is the Linear query model which are linear …

Fine-grained complexity theory (tutorial)

K Bringmann - … International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of …, 2019 - drops.dagstuhl.de
Suppose the fastest algorithm that we can design for some problem runs in time O (n^ 2).
However, we want to solve the problem on big data inputs, for which quadratic time is …

Determinantal sieving

E Eiben, T Koana, M Wahlström - Proceedings of the 2024 Annual ACM-SIAM …, 2024 - SIAM
We introduce a new, remarkably powerful tool to the toolbox of algebraic FPT algorithms,
determinantal sieving. Given a polynomial P (x 1,…, xn) over a field 𝔽 of characteristic 2, on …

Simulation beats richness: new data-structure lower bounds

A Chattopadhyay, M Koucký, B Loff… - Proceedings of the 50th …, 2018 - dl.acm.org
