We show how to test whether a graph with n vertices and m edges is a partial cube, and if so how to find a distance-preserving embedding of the graph into a hypercube, in the near-optimal time bound O(n^2), improving previous O(nm)-time solutions.
Every partial cube may be embedded in a distance-preserving way into an integer lattice @math of some dimension @math . One such labeling simply uses each bit of a bitvector labeling as a coordinate in @math ; however, some graphs may be embeddable into integer lattices of much lower dimension than their isometric dimension. For instance, a path graph can be embedded into @math , and given one-dimensional coordinates that accurately describe the graph distances, despite having an isometric dimension of @math . The of a partial cube is the minimum number @math for which the graph admits a distance-preserving embedding into @math . The lattice dimension, and an embedding of that dimension, may be found in polynomial time using an algorithm based on graph matching @cite_36 , but this algorithm depends on having as input a bitvector labeling and is slower than the algorithm we describe here, so it does not form the basis of an efficient partial cube recognition algorithm.

This paper deals with two related problems, namely distance-preserving binary embeddings and quantization for compressed sensing . First, we propose fast methods to replace points from a subset @math , associated with the Euclidean metric, with points in the cube @math and we associate the cube with a pseudo-metric that approximates Euclidean distance among points in @math . Our methods rely on quantizing fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss embeddings based on bounded orthonormal systems and partial circulant ensembles, both of which admit fast transforms. Our quantization methods utilize noise-shaping, and include Sigma-Delta schemes and distributed noise-shaping schemes. The resulting approximation errors decay polynomially and exponentially fast in @math , depending on the embedding method. This dramatically outperforms the current decay rates associated with binary embeddings and Hamming distances. Additionally, it is the first such binary embedding result that applies to fast Johnson-Lindenstrauss maps while preserving @math norms. Second, we again consider noise-shaping schemes, albeit this time to quantize compressed sensing measurements arising from bounded orthonormal ensembles and partial circulant matrices. We show that these methods yield a reconstruction error that again decays with the number of measurements (and bits), when using convex optimization for reconstruction. Specifically, for Sigma-Delta schemes, the error decays polynomially in the number of measurements, and it decays exponentially for distributed noise-shaping schemes based on beta encoding. These results are near optimal and the first of their kind dealing with bounded orthonormal systems. We consider the problem of topology recognition in wireless (radio) networks modeled as undirected graphs. Topology recognition is a fundamental task in which every node of the network has to output a map of the underlying graph i.e., an isomorphic copy of it, and situate itself in this map. In wireless networks, nodes communicate in synchronous rounds. In each round a node can either transmit a message to all its neighbors, or stay silent and listen. At the receiving end, a node @math hears a message from a neighbor @math in a given round, if @math listens in this round, and if @math is its only neighbor that transmits in this round. Nodes have labels which are (not necessarily different) binary strings. The length of a labeling scheme is the largest length of a label. We concentrate on wireless networks modeled by trees, and we investigate two problems. What is the shortest labeling scheme that permits topology recognition in all wireless tree networks of diameter @math and maximum degree @math ? What is the fastest topology recognition algorithm working for all wireless tree networks of diameter @math and maximum degree @math , using such a short labeling scheme? We are interested in deterministic topology recognition algorithms. For the first problem, we show that the minimum length of a labeling scheme allowing topology recognition in all trees of maximum degree @math is @math . For such short schemes, used by an algorithm working for the class of trees of diameter @math and maximum degree @math , we show almost matching bounds on the time of topology recognition: an upper bound @math , and a lower bound @math , for any constant @math . Consider an @math matrix @math with the restricted isometry property of order k and level @math ; that is, the norm of any k-sparse vector in @math is preserved to within a multiplicative factor of @math under application of @math . We show that by randomizing the column signs of such a matrix @math , the resulting map with high probability embeds any fixed set of @math points in @math into @math without distorting the norm of any point in the set by more than a factor of @math . Consequently, matrices with the restricted isometry property and with randomized column signs provide optimal Johnson–Lindenstrauss embeddings up to logarithmic factors in N. In particular, our results improve the best known bounds on the necessary embedding dimension m for a wide class of structured random matrices; for partial Fourier and partial Hadamard matrices, we improve the recent bound @math given by Ailon and Liberty to $m... We consider the problem of clustering a graph @math into two communities by observing a subset of the vertex correlations. Specifically, we consider the inverse problem with observed variables @math , where @math is the incidence matrix of a graph @math , @math is the vector of unknown vertex variables (with a uniform prior), and @math is a noise vector with Bernoulli @math i.i.d. entries. All variables and operations are Boolean. This model is motivated by coding, synchronization, and community detection problems. In particular, it corresponds to a stochastic block model or a correlation clustering problem with two communities and censored edges. Without noise, exact recovery (up to global flip) of @math is possible if and only the graph @math is connected, with a sharp threshold at the edge probability @math for Erdős-Renyi random graphs. The first goal of this paper is to determine how the edge probability @math needs to scale to allow exact recovery in the presence of noise. Defining the degree rate of the graph by @math , it is shown that exact recovery is possible if and only if @math . In other words, @math is the information theoretic threshold for exact recovery at low-SNR. In addition, an efficient recovery algorithm based on semidefinite programming is proposed and shown to succeed in the threshold regime up to twice the optimal rate. For a deterministic graph @math , defining the degree rate as @math , where @math is the minimum degree of the graph, it is shown that the proposed method achieves the rate @math , where @math is the spectral gap of the graph @math .
