Dynamic and Multi-functional Labeling Schemes
We investigate labeling schemes supporting adjacency, ancestry, sibling, and
connectivity queries in forests. In the course of more than 20 years, the
existence of labeling schemes supporting each of these
functions was proven, with the most recent being ancestry [Fraigniaud and
Korman, STOC '10]. Several multi-functional labeling schemes also enjoy lower
or upper bounds of or
respectively. Notably an upper bound of for
adjacency+siblings and a lower bound of for each of the
functions siblings, ancestry, and connectivity [Alstrup et al., SODA '03]. We
improve the constants hidden in the -notation. In particular we show a lower bound for connectivity+ancestry and
connectivity+siblings, as well as an upper bound of for connectivity+adjacency+siblings by altering existing
methods.
In the context of dynamic labeling schemes it is known that ancestry requires
bits [Cohen, et al. PODS '02]. In contrast, we show upper and lower
bounds on the label size for adjacency, siblings, and connectivity of
bits, and to support all three functions. There exist efficient
adjacency labeling schemes for planar, bounded treewidth, bounded arboricity
and interval graphs. In a dynamic setting, we show a lower bound of
for each of those families.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
Near-optimal adjacency labeling scheme for power-law graphs
An adjacency labeling scheme is a method that assigns labels to the vertices
of a graph such that adjacency between vertices can be inferred directly from
the assigned label, without using a centralized data structure. We devise
adjacency labeling schemes for the family of power-law graphs. This family that
has been used to model many types of networks, e.g. the Internet AS-level
graph. Furthermore, we prove an almost matching lower bound for this family. We
also provide an asymptotically near- optimal labeling scheme for sparse graphs.
Finally, we validate the efficiency of our labeling scheme by an experimental
evaluation using both synthetic data and real-world networks of up to hundreds
of thousands of vertices
