Abstract

We investigate labeling schemes supporting adjacency, ancestry, sibling, and connectivity queries in forests. In the course of more than 20 years, the existence of log n + O(log log n) labeling schemes supporting each of these functions was proven, with the most recent being ancestry [Fraigniaud andKorman, STOC’10]. Severalmulti-functional labeling schemes also enjoy lower or upper bounds of log n+Ω(log log n) or logn+ O(log log n) respectively. Notably an upper bound of log n+2log log n for adjacency+siblings and a lower bound of log n + log log n for each of the functions siblings, ancestry, and connectivity [Alstrup et al., SODA’03]. We improve the constants hidden in the O-notation, where our main technical contribution is a log n+2log log n lower bound for connectivity +ancestry and connectivity+siblings. In the context of dynamic labeling schemes it is known that ancestry requires Ω(n) bits [Cohen, et al. PODS’02]. In contrast, we show upper and lower bounds on the label size for adjacency, siblings, and connectivity of 2 log n bits, and 3 log n to support all three functions. We also show that there exist no efficient dynamic adjacency labeling schemes for planar, bounded treewidth, bounded arboricity and bounded degree graphs.
