Abstract

Fault tolerant distance preservers are sparse subgraphs that preserve distances between given pairs of nodes under edge or vertex failures. In this paper, we present the first non-trivial constructions of subset distance preservers, which preserve all distances among a subset of nodes S, that can handle either an edge or a vertex fault. For an n-vertex undirected weighted graph or weighted DAG G = (V, E) and S ⊆ V , we present a construction of a subset preserver with Oe(|S|n) edges that is resilient to a single fault. In the single pair case (|S| = 2), the bound improves to O(n). We further provide a nearly-matching lower bound of Ω(|S|n) in either setting, and we show that the same lower bound holds conditionally even if attention is restricted to unweighted graphs. For an n-vertex directed unweighted graph G = (V, E) and r ∈ V, S ⊆ V ,we present a construction of a preserver of distances in {r} × S with Oe(n4/3|S|5/6) edges that is resilient to a single fault. In the case |S| = 1 the bound improves to O(n4/3), and for this case we provide another matching conditional lower bound. For an n-vertex directed weighted graph G = (V, E) and r ∈ V, S ⊆ V , we present a construction of a preserver of distances in {r} × S with Oe(n3/2|S|3/4) edges that is resilient to a single vertex fault. (It was proved in [14] that the bound improves to O(n3/2) when |S| = 1, and that this is conditionally tight).
