Tight query complexity bounds for learning graph partitions
@inproceedings{Liu2022TightQC, title={Tight query complexity bounds for learning graph partitions}, author={Xizhi Liu and Sayan Mukherjee}, booktitle={COLT}, year={2022} }
Given a partition of a graph into connected components, the membership oracle asserts whether any two vertices of the graph lie in the same component or not. We prove that for n ≥ k ≥ 2, learning the components of an n -vertex hidden graph with k components requires at least ( k − 1) n − (cid:0) k 2 (cid:1) membership queries. Our result improves on the best known information-theoretic bound of Ω( n log k ) queries, and exactly matches the query complexity of the algorithm introduced by Reyzin…

This work shows that, on random Δ-regular graphs, the reconstruction algorithm based on multi-phase Voronoi-cell decomposition and using O(n^{3/2}) distance queries uses O( n) distance queries, and has a very simple structure, and is highly parallelizable.

Graph Reconstruction with a Betweenness Oracle
- Computer Science, MathematicsSTACS
- 2016
The betweenness oracle is introduced, where bet(a, m, z) is true iff m lies on a shortest path between a and z, and this oracles is strictly weaker than a distance oracle, in the sense that a betweenness query can be simulated by a constant number of distance queries, but not vice versa.
Graph Verification with a Betweenness Oracle

The query complexity of verifying a hidden graph G with a betweenness oracle is examined and it is proved that graph verification can be done using n1+o(1) betweenness queries – a matching lower bound.

The authors give a short proof of a theorem of Lipton and Tarjan, that, for every planar graph with n > 0 vertives, there is a partition (A, B, C,) of its vertex set such that no vertex in A is adjacent to any vertex in B.
