Optimal succinct representation of planar maps
This paper addresses the problem of representing the connectivity information of geometric objects using as little memory as possible. As opposed to raw compression issues, the focus is here on designing data structures that preserve the possibility of answering incidence queries in constant time. We propose in particular the first optimal representations for 3-connected planar graphs and triangulations, which are the most standard classes of graphs underlying meshes with spherical topology. Optimal means that these representations asymptotically match the respective entropy of the two classes, namely 2 bits per edge for 3-c planar graphs, and 1.62 bits per triangle or equivalently 3.24 bits per vertex for triangulations
Planar Reachability Under Single Vertex or Edge Failures
International audienceIn this paper we present an efficient reachability oracle under single-edge or single-vertex failures for planar directed graphs. Specifically, we show that a planar digraph G can be preprocessed in O(n log 2 n/log log n) time, producing an O(n log n)-space data structure that can answer in O(log n) time whether u can reach v in G if the vertex x (the edge f) is removed from G, for any query vertices u, v and failed vertex x (failed edge f). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first data structure for planar directed graphs with nearly optimal preprocessing time that answers all-pairs queries under any kind of failures in polylogarithmic time. We also consider 2-reachability problems, where we are given a planar digraph G and we wish to determine if there are two vertex-disjoint (edge-disjoint) paths from u to v, for query vertices u, v. In this setting we provide a nearly optimal 2-reachability oracle, which is the existential variant of the reachability oracle under single failures, with the following bounds. We can construct in O(n polylog n) time an O(n log 3+o(1) n)-space data structure that can check in O(log 2+o(1) n) time for any query vertices u, v whether v is 2-reachable from u, or otherwise find some separating vertex (edge) x lying on all paths from u to v in G. To obtain our results, we follow the general recursive approach of Thorup for reachability in planar graphs [J. ACM '04] and we present new data structures which generalize dominator trees and previous data structures for strong-connectivity under failures [Georgiadis et al., SODA '17]. Our new data structures work also for general digraphs and may be of independent interest

Connectivity Oracles for Graphs Subject to Vertex Failures
We introduce new data structures for answering connectivity queries in graphs
subject to batched vertex failures. A deterministic structure processes a batch
of failed vertices in time and thereafter
answers connectivity queries in time. It occupies space . We develop a randomized Monte Carlo version of our data structure
with update time , query time , and space
for any failure bound . This is the first connectivity oracle for
general graphs that can efficiently deal with an unbounded number of vertex
failures.
We also develop a more efficient Monte Carlo edge-failure connectivity
oracle. Using space , edge failures are processed in time and thereafter, connectivity queries are answered in
time, which are correct w.h.p.
Our data structures are based on a new decomposition theorem for an
undirected graph , which is of independent interest. It states that
for any terminal set we can remove a set of
vertices such that the remaining graph contains a Steiner forest for with
maximum degree
Optimal decremental connectivity in planar graphs
We show an algorithm for dynamic maintenance of connectivity information in
an undirected planar graph subject to edge deletions. Our algorithm may answer
connectivity queries of the form `Are vertices and connected with a
path?' in constant time. The queries can be intermixed with any sequence of
edge deletions, and the algorithm handles all updates in time. This
results improves over previously known time algorithm
Decremental Single-Source Reachability in Planar Digraphs
In this paper we show a new algorithm for the decremental single-source
reachability problem in directed planar graphs. It processes any sequence of
edge deletions in total time and explicitly
maintains the set of vertices reachable from a fixed source vertex. Hence, if
all edges are eventually deleted, the amortized time of processing each edge
deletion is only , which improves upon a previously
known solution. We also show an algorithm for decremental
maintenance of strongly connected components in directed planar graphs with the
same total update time. These results constitute the first almost optimal (up
to polylogarithmic factors) algorithms for both problems.
To the best of our knowledge, these are the first dynamic algorithms with
polylogarithmic update times on general directed planar graphs for non-trivial
reachability-type problems, for which only polynomial bounds are known in
general graphs
