Extended learning graphs for triangle finding

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We present new quantum algorithms for Triangle Finding improving its best previously known quantum query complexities for both dense and spare instances.For dense graphs on n vertices, we get a query complexity of O(n5/4) without any of the extra logarithmic factors present in the previous algorithm of Le Gall [FOCS'14]. For sparse graphs with mgeqn5/4 edges, we get a query complexity of O(n11/12m1/6sqrtlogn), which is better than the one obtained by Le Gall and Nakajima [ISAAC'15] when mgeqn3/2. We also obtain an algorithm with query complexity O(n5/6(mlogn)1/6+d2sqrtn) where d2 is the variance of the degree distribution. Our algorithms are designed and analyzed in a new model of learning graphs that we call extended learning graphs. In addition, we present a framework in order to easily combine and analyze them. As a consequence we get much simpler algorithms and analyses than previous algorithms of Le Gall {it et al} based on the MNRS quantum walk framework [SICOMP'11].
