We construct a new quantum algorithm for the graph collision problem; that is, the problem of deciding whether the set of marked vertices contains a pair of adjacent vertices in a known graph G. The query complexity of our algorithm is…

In a celebrated work, Blais, Brody, and Matulef developed a technique for proving property testing lower bounds via reductions from communication complexity. Their work focused on testing properties of functions, and yielded new lower…

In this paper we present a quantum algorithm solving the triangle finding problem in unweighted graphs with query complexity $\tilde O(n^{5/4})$, where $n$ denotes the number of vertices in the graph. This improves the previous upper bound…

In this paper, we obtain lower bounds for the domination numbers of connected graphs with girth at least $7$. We show that the domination number of a connected graph with girth at least $7$ is either $1$ or at least…

In this paper we characterize the unique graph whose algebraic connectivity is minimum among all connected graphs with given order and fixed matching number or edge covering number, and present two lower bounds for the algebraic…

In this note, we show that three graph properties - strong connectivity, acyclicity, and reachability from a vertex $s$ to all vertices - each require a working memory of $\Omega (\epsilon m)$ on a graph with $m$ edges to be determined…

We consider the connectivity of fiber graphs with respect to Gr\"obner basis and Graver basis moves. First, we present a sequence of fiber graphs using moves from a Gr\"obner basis and prove that their edge-connectivity is lowest possible…

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 analyze the monotone space of complexity of directed connectivity for a large class of input graphs $G$ using the switching network model. The upper and lower bounds we obtain are a significant generalization of previous…

The problems of computing eccentricity, radius, and diameter are fundamental to graph theory. These parameters are intrinsically defined based on the distance metric of the graph. In this work, we propose quantum algorithms for the diameter…

A dynamic graph algorithm is a data structure that answers queries about a property of the current graph while supporting graph modifications such as edge insertions and deletions. Prior work has shown strong conditional lower bounds for…

For minimally $k$-connected graphs on $n$ vertices, Mader proved a tight lower bound for the number $|V_k|$ of vertices of degree $k$ in dependence on $n$ and $k$. Oxley observed 1981 that in many cases a considerably better bound can be…

The Maximum Matching problem has a quantum query complexity lower bound of $\Omega(n^{3/2})$ for graphs on $n$ vertices represented by an adjacency matrix. The current best quantum algorithm has the query complexity $O(n^{7/4})$, which is…

The quantum adversary method is a versatile method for proving lower bounds on quantum algorithms. It yields tight bounds for many computational problems, is robust in having many equivalent formulations, and has natural connections to…

We establish a lower bound of $\Omega{(\sqrt{n})}$ on the bounded-error quantum query complexity of read-once Boolean functions, providing evidence for the conjecture that $\Omega(\sqrt{D(f)})$ is a lower bound for all Boolean functions.…

In this work, we prove a $\tilde{\Omega}(\lg^{3/2} n )$ unconditional lower bound on the maximum of the query time and update time for dynamic data structures supporting reachability queries in $n$-node directed acyclic graphs under edge…

We derive a number of upper and lower bounds for the first nontrivial eigenvalue of a finite quantum graph in terms of the edge connectivity of the graph, i.e., the minimal number of edges which need to be removed to make the graph…

In this paper we consider the problem of reconstructing a hidden weighted hypergraph of constant rank using additive queries. We prove the following: Let $G$ be a weighted hidden hypergraph of constant rank with n vertices and $m$…

A randomly walking quantum particle evolving by Schr\"odinger's equation searches on $d$-dimensional cubic lattices in $O(\sqrt{N})$ time when $d \ge 5$, and with progressively slower runtime as $d$ decreases. This suggests that graph…

It has long been known that any Boolean function that depends on n input variables has both degree and exact quantum query complexity of Omega(log n), and that this bound is achieved for some functions. In this paper we study the case of…
