Abstract

The Frieze-Kannan regularity lemma is a powerful tool in combinatorics. It has also found applications in the design of approximation algorithms and recently in the design of fast combinatorial algorithms for boolean matrix multiplication. The algorithmic applications of this lemma require one to efficiently construct a partition satisfying the conditions of the lemma. Williams [24] recently asked if one can construct a partition satisfying the conditions of the Frieze-Kannan regularity lemma in deterministic sub-cubic time. We resolve this problem by designing an Õ(nω) time algorithm for constructing such a partition, where ω
