Triangle Listing Algorithms: Back from the Diversion

چکیده
We show that most algorithms from the literature on listing the triangles of a graph have a common abstraction. Our unifying framework highlights that these seemingly different algorithms are in fact instantiations of a single generic procedure, and even suggests some additional variants. More importantly, it yields parsimonious implementations that are in general more efficient than those described in the original works. In addition, we show that the running time of nearly every triangle listing variant is in O(a(G)m), where a(G) is the arboricity of the graph and m the number of edges. So far this bound has been proven only for Chiba and Nishizeki’s (SIAM J. Computing, 1985) triangle listing algorithm. Finally, algorithmic experimentation reveals that an improved implementation of this algorithm outperforms all subsequently proposed algorithms.

متن کاملTriangle Finding and Listing in CONGEST Networks
Triangle-free graphs play a central role in graph theory, and triangle detection (or triangle finding) as well as triangle enumeration (triangle listing) play central roles in the field of graph algorithms. In distributed computing, algorithms with sublinear round complexity for triangle finding and listing have recently been developed in the powerful CONGEST clique model, where communication i...
متن کاملA Triangle Listing in Massive Networks
Triangle listing is one of the fundamental algorithmic problems whose solution has numerous applications especially in the analysis of complex networks, such as the computation of clustering coefficients, transitivity, triangular connectivity, trusses, etc. Existing algorithms for triangle listing are mainly in-memory algorithms, whose performance cannot scale with the massive volume of today’s...
متن کاملFinding, Counting and Listing All Triangles in Large Graphs, an Experimental Study
In the past, the fundamental graph problem of triangle counting and listing has been studied intensively from a theoretical point of view. Recently, triangle counting has also become a widely used tool in network analysis. Due to the very large size of networks like the Internet, WWW, or social networks, the efficiency of algorithms for triangle counting and listing is an important issue. The m...
