Smoothed Complexity of SWAP in Local Graph Partitioning
(2305.15804)Abstract
We give the first quasipolynomial upper bound $\phi n{\text{polylog}(n)}$ for the smoothed complexity of the SWAP algorithm for local Graph Partitioning (also known as Bisection Width), where $n$ is the number of nodes in the graph and $\phi$ is a parameter that measures the magnitude of perturbations applied on its edge weights. More generally, we show that the same quasipolynomial upper bound holds for the smoothed complexity of the 2-FLIP algorithm for any binary Maximum Constraint Satisfaction Problem, including local Max-Cut, for which similar bounds were only known for $1$-FLIP. Our results are based on an analysis of cycles formed in long sequences of double flips, showing that it is unlikely for every move in a long sequence to incur a positive but small improvement in the cut weight.
