We consider the problem of estimating the number of triangles in a graph. This problem has been extensively studied in both theory and practice, but all existing algorithms read the entire graph. In this work we design a {\em…

We consider the problem of finding an edge in a hidden undirected graph $G = (V, E)$ with $n$ vertices, in a model where we only allowed queries that ask whether or not a subset of vertices contains an edge. We study the non-adaptive model…

We introduce a notion of the quantum query complexity of a certificate structure. This is a formalisation of a well-known observation that many quantum query algorithms only require the knowledge of the disposition of possible certificates…

We present a non-algebraic, locality-preserving framework for triangle detection in worst-case sparse graphs. Our algorithm processes the graph in $O(\log n)$ independent layers and partitions incident edges into prefix-based classes where…

Let $G$ be an $n$-vertex graph with $m$ edges. When asked a subset $S$ of vertices, a cut query on $G$ returns the number of edges of $G$ that have exactly one endpoint in $S$. We show that there is a bounded-error quantum algorithm that…

In this paper, we propose an extension of quantum searches on graphs driven by quantum walks to simplicial complexes. To this end, we newly define a quantum walk on simplicial complex which is an alternative of preceding studies by authors.…

In the distributed triangle detection problem, we have an $n$-vertex network $G=(V,E)$ with one player for each vertex of the graph who sees the edges incident on the vertex. The players communicate in synchronous rounds using the edges of…

Weighted variants of triangle detection are an important object of study because of their prominence in fine-grained complexity. We revisit the Node-Weighted Triangle problem, where the goal is to decide if a vertex-weighted graph contains…

We show that on graphs with n vertices, the 2-dimensional Weisfeiler-Leman algorithm requires at most O(n^2/log(n)) iterations to reach stabilization. This in particular shows that the previously best, trivial upper bound of O(n^2) is…
