Optimal Query Complexity for Reconstructing Hypergraphs
In this paper we consider the problem of reconstructing a hidden weighted
hypergraph of constant rank using additive queries. We prove the following: Let
be a weighted hidden hypergraph of constant rank with n vertices and
hyperedges. For any there exists a non-adaptive algorithm that finds the
edges of the graph and their weights using
additive queries. This solves the open problem in [S. Choi, J. H. Kim. Optimal
Query Complexity Bounds for Finding Graphs. {\em STOC}, 749--758,~2008].
When the weights of the hypergraph are integers that are less than
where is the rank of the hypergraph (and therefore for
unweighted hypergraphs) there exists a non-adaptive algorithm that finds the
edges of the graph and their weights using additive queries.
Using the information theoretic bound the above query complexities are tight
