Abstract

This paper studies labeling schemes for flow and connectivity functions. A flow labeling scheme using O(logn · log ω)-bit labels is presented for general n-vertex graphs with maximum (integral) capacity ω. This is shown to be asymptotically optimal. For edge-connectivity, this yields a tight bound of φ(log2 n) bits. A fc-vertex connectivity labeling scheme is then given for general n-vertex graphs using at most 3 log n bits for k = 2, 5 log n bits for k = 3 and 2k log n bits for k > 3. Finally, a lower bound of Ω(klogn) is established for k-vertex connectivity on n-vertex graphs where k is polylogarithmic in n.
