Abstract

We study the "subgraph connectivity" problem for undirected graphs with sublinear vertex update time. In this problem, we can make vertices active or inactive in a graph G, and answer the connectivity between two vertices in the subgraph of G induced by the active vertices. Two open problems in subgraph connectivity are solved in this paper. We give the first subgraph connectivity structure with worst-case sublinear time bounds for both updates and queries. Our worst-case subgraph connectivity structure supports Õ (m4/5) update time, Õ(m1/5) query time and occupies Õ(m) space, where m is the number of edges in the whole graph G. In the second part of our paper, we describe another dynamic subgraph connectivity structure with amortized Õ (m2/3) update time, Õ(m1/3) query time and linear space, which improves the structure introduced by [Chan, Patrascu, Roditty, FOCS'08] that takes Õ(m4/3) space.
