Witness Trees - Quick Reference

API Overview

Creating a Witness Tree

use std::sync::Arc;
use parking_lot::RwLock;
use ruvector_mincut::{DynamicGraph, WitnessTree};

let graph = Arc::new(RwLock::new(DynamicGraph::new()));
let witness = WitnessTree::build(graph)?;

Core Operations

Operation	Method	Complexity	Description
Get min cut	min_cut_value()	O(1)	Returns current minimum cut value
Get cut edges	min_cut_edges()	O(1)	Returns edges in minimum cut
Insert edge	insert_edge(u, v, w)	O(log n)	Add edge to graph
Delete edge	delete_edge(u, v)	O(m) worst	Remove edge from graph
Is tree edge	is_tree_edge(u, v)	O(1)	Check if edge is in spanning tree
Find witness	find_witness(u, v)	O(1)	Get witness for tree edge

Lazy Updates (Batched)

use ruvector_mincut::LazyWitnessTree;

let mut lazy = LazyWitnessTree::with_threshold(graph, 10)?;

// Batch 10 updates
for i in 1..=10 {
    lazy.insert_edge(i, i+1, 1.0)?;
}

// Force flush and get result
let min_cut = lazy.min_cut_value();

Data Structures

EdgeWitness

pub struct EdgeWitness {
    pub tree_edge: (VertexId, VertexId),  // Canonical form (min, max)
    pub cut_value: Weight,                 // Value of this cut
    pub cut_side: HashSet<VertexId>,      // Vertices on one side
}

WitnessTree

• lct: Link-Cut Tree for O(log n) connectivity
• witnesses: HashMap of tree edge witnesses
• tree_edges: Spanning forest edges
• non_tree_edges: Cycle-forming edges
• min_cut: Cached minimum cut value
• min_cut_edges: Edges in the minimum cut

Common Patterns

Building from Existing Graph

// Graph already has edges
let graph = Arc::new(RwLock::new(DynamicGraph::new()));
graph.write().insert_edge(1, 2, 1.0)?;
graph.write().insert_edge(2, 3, 1.0)?;

// Build witness tree
let witness = WitnessTree::build(graph.clone())?;

Dynamic Construction

// Start empty
let graph = Arc::new(RwLock::new(DynamicGraph::new()));
let mut witness = WitnessTree::build(graph.clone())?;

// Add edges dynamically
graph.write().insert_edge(1, 2, 1.0)?;
witness.insert_edge(1, 2, 1.0)?;

graph.write().insert_edge(2, 3, 1.0)?;
witness.insert_edge(2, 3, 1.0)?;

Checking Tree Structure

// Find which edges are in the spanning tree
for (u, v) in all_edges {
    if witness.is_tree_edge(u, v) {
        if let Some(w) = witness.find_witness(u, v) {
            println!("Edge ({}, {}) has witness cut {}", u, v, w.cut_value);
        }
    }
}

Edge Cases

Disconnected Graph

// Returns 0.0 (no cut exists)
let min_cut = witness.min_cut_value();
assert_eq!(min_cut, 0.0);

Single Vertex

// Returns infinity
let min_cut = witness.min_cut_value();
assert!(min_cut.is_infinite());

Empty Graph

// Returns infinity
let min_cut = witness.min_cut_value();
assert!(min_cut.is_infinite());

Performance Tips

1. Use Lazy Updates: For sequences of operations, use LazyWitnessTree
2. Batch Threshold: Tune threshold based on update pattern (default: 10)
3. Avoid Repeated Queries: Cache min_cut_value() result if querying multiple times
4. Tree Edge Queries: Check is_tree_edge() before find_witness()

Example: Complete Workflow

use std::sync::Arc;
use parking_lot::RwLock;
use ruvector_mincut::{DynamicGraph, WitnessTree};

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create graph
    let graph = Arc::new(RwLock::new(DynamicGraph::new()));

    // Add initial edges
    graph.write().insert_edge(1, 2, 1.0)?;
    graph.write().insert_edge(2, 3, 1.0)?;
    graph.write().insert_edge(3, 1, 1.0)?;

    // Build witness tree
    let mut witness = WitnessTree::build(graph.clone())?;

    // Query
    println!("Initial min cut: {}", witness.min_cut_value());
    println!("Cut edges: {:?}", witness.min_cut_edges());

    // Dynamic update
    graph.write().insert_edge(1, 4, 2.0)?;
    let new_cut = witness.insert_edge(1, 4, 2.0)?;
    println!("After insert: {}", new_cut);

    // Delete edge
    graph.write().delete_edge(1, 2)?;
    let updated_cut = witness.delete_edge(1, 2)?;
    println!("After delete: {}", updated_cut);

    Ok(())
}

Error Handling

// Insert returns Result
match witness.insert_edge(u, v, weight) {
    Ok(new_cut) => println!("Success: {}", new_cut),
    Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
}

// Delete returns Result
match witness.delete_edge(u, v) {
    Ok(new_cut) => println!("Success: {}", new_cut),
    Err(MinCutError::EdgeNotFound(u, v)) => {
        eprintln!("Edge ({}, {}) not found", u, v);
    }
    Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
}
