On dynamic breadth-first search in external-memory

  • We provide the first non-trivial result on dynamic breadth-first search (BFS) in external-memory: For general sparse undirected graphs of initially $n$ nodes and O(n) edges and monotone update sequences of either $\Theta(n)$ edge insertions or $\Theta(n)$ edge deletions, we prove an amortized high-probability bound of $O(n/B^{2/3}+\sort(n)\cdot \log B)$ I/Os per update. In contrast, the currently best approach for static BFS on sparse undirected graphs requires $\Omega(n/B^{1/2}+\sort(n))$ I/Os. 1998 ACM Subject Classification: F.2.2. Key words and phrases: External Memory, Dynamic Graph Algorithms, BFS, Randomization.
