Issue Date: | 1-Jun-2020 | Citation: | Chakraborty, D, Choudhary, K (2020-06-01). New extremal bounds for reachability and strong-connectivity preservers under failures. Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics, LIPIcs 168. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | In this paper, we consider the question of computing sparse subgraphs for any input directed graph G = (V, E) on n vertices and m edges, that preserves reachability and/or strong connectivity structures. We show O(n+min{|P|√n, np|P|}) bound on a subgraph that is an 1-fault-tolerant reachability preserver for a given vertex-pair set P ⊆ V ×V , i.e., it preserves reachability between any pair of vertices in P under single edge (or vertex) failure. Our result is a significant improvement over the previous best O(n|P|) bound obtained as a corollary of single-source reachability preserver construction. We prove our upper bound by exploiting the special structure of single fault-tolerant reachability preserver for any pair, and then considering the interaction among such structures for different pairs. In the lower bound side, we show that a 2-fault-tolerant reachability preserver for a vertex-pair set P ⊆ V × V of size Ω(nε), for even any arbitrarily small ε, requires at least Ω(n1+ε/8) edges. This refutes the existence of linear-sized dual fault-tolerant preservers for reachability for any polynomial sized vertex-pair set. We also present the first sub-quadratic bound of at most Oe(k 2k n2−1/k) size, for strong-connectivity preservers of directed graphs under k failures. To the best of our knowledge no non-trivial bound for this problem was known before, for a general k. We get our result by adopting the color-coding technique of Alon, Yuster, and Zwick [JACM'95]. | Source Title: | Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics, LIPIcs | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/242035 | ISSN: | 1868-8969 |
