Tight Bounds on Vertex Connectivity Under Sampling
Abstract
A fundamental result by Karger [10] states that for any $λ$-edge-connected graph with n nodes, independently sampling each edge with probability $p = Ω(log(n)/λ)$ results in a graph that has edge connectivity $Ω(λp)$, with high probability. This paper proves the analogous result for vertex connectivity, when either vertices or edges are sampled. We show that for any k-vertex-connected graph G with n nodes, if each node is independently sampled with probability $p = Ω(log(n)/k)$, then the subgraph induced by the sampled nodes has vertex connectivity $Ω(kp 2$), with high probability. If edges are sampled with probability $p = Ω(log(n)/k)$ then the sampled subgraph has vertex connectivity $Ω(kp$), with high probability. Both bounds are existentially optimal.
