Abstract

En 中文
The problem of counting triangles in graphs has been well studied in the literature. However, all existing algorithms, exact or approximate, spend at least linear time in the size of the graph (except a recent theoretical result), which can be prohibitive on today's large graphs. Nevertheless, we observe that the ideas in many existing triangle counting algorithms can be coupled with random sampling to yield potentially sublinear-time algorithms that return an approximation of the triangle count without looking at the whole graph. This paper makes these random sampling algorithms more explicit, and presents an experimental and analytical comparison of different approaches, identifying the best performers among a number of candidates.
