Vertex Sparsification for Edge Connectivity in Polynomial Time

Abstract

An important open question in the area of vertex sparsification is whether (1+ε)-approximate cut-preserving vertex sparsifiers with size close to the number of terminals exist. The work [Parinya Chalermsook et al., 2021] (SODA 2021) introduced a relaxation called connectivity-c mimicking networks, which asks to construct a vertex sparsifier which preserves connectivity among k terminals exactly up to the value of c, and showed applications to dynamic connectivity data structures and survivable network design. We show that connectivity-c mimicking networks with Õ(kc³) edges exist and can be constructed in polynomial time in n and c, improving over the results of [Parinya Chalermsook et al., 2021] for any c ≥ log n, whose runtimes depended exponentially on c.
