| contents | We consider the distributed and parallel construction of low-diameter decompositions with strong diameter for (weighted) graphs and (weighted) graphs that can be separated through $k \in \tilde{O}(1)$ shortest paths. This class of graphs includes planar graphs, graphs of bounded treewidth, and graphs that exclude a fixed minor $K_r$. We present algorithms in the PRAM, CONGEST, and the novel HYBRID communication model that are competitive in all relevant parameters.
Given $\mathcal{D} > 0$, our low-diameter decomposition algorithm divides the graph into connected clusters of strong diameter $\mathcal{D}$. For a arbitrary graph, an edge $e \in E$ of length $\ell_e$ is cut between two clusters with probability $O(\frac{\ell_e\cdot\log(n)}{\mathcal{D} })$. If the graph can be separated by $k \in \tilde{O}(1)$ paths, the probability improves to $O(\frac{\ell_e\cdot\log \log n}{\mathcal{D} })$. In either case, the decompositions can be computed in $\tilde{O}(1)$ depth and $\tilde{O}(kn)$ work in the PRAM and $\tilde{O}(1)$ time in the HYBRID model. In CONGEST, the runtimes are $\tilde{O}(HD + \sqrt{n})$ and $\tilde{O}(HD)$ respectively. All these results hold w.h.p.
Broadly speaking, we present distributed and parallel implementations of sequential divide-and-conquer algorithms where we replace exact shortest paths with approximate shortest paths. In contrast to exact paths, these can be efficiently computed in the distributed and parallel setting [STOC '22]. Further, and perhaps more importantly, we show that instead of explicitly computing vertex-separators to enable efficient parallelization of these algorithms, it suffices to sample a few random paths of bounded length and the nodes close to them. Thereby, we do not require complex embeddings whose implementation is unknown in the distributed and parallel setting. |
