Extended h-Index Parameterized Data Structures for Computing Dynamic Subgraph Statistics
We present techniques for maintaining subgraph frequencies in a dynamic
graph, using data structures that are parameterized in terms of h, the h-index
of the graph. Our methods extend previous results of Eppstein and Spiro for
maintaining statistics for undirected subgraphs of size three to directed
subgraphs and to subgraphs of size four. For the directed case, we provide a
data structure to maintain counts for all 3-vertex induced subgraphs in O(h)
amortized time per update. For the undirected case, we maintain the counts of
size-four subgraphs in O(h^2) amortized time per update. These extensions
enable a number of new applications in Bioinformatics and Social Networking

Arboricity, h-Index, and Dynamic Algorithms
In this paper we present a modification of a technique by Chiba and Nishizeki
[Chiba and Nishizeki: Arboricity and Subgraph Listing Algorithms, SIAM J.
Comput. 14(1), pp. 210--223 (1985)]. Based on it, we design a data structure
suitable for dynamic graph algorithms. We employ the data structure to
formulate new algorithms for several problems, including counting subgraphs of
four vertices, recognition of diamond-free graphs, cop-win graphs and strongly
chordal graphs, among others. We improve the time complexity for graphs with
low arboricity or h-index.Comment: 19 pages, no figure
