Abstract
Understanding the local structure of a graph provides valuable insights about the underlying phenomena from which the graph has originated. Sampling and examining k-subgraphs is a widely used approach to understand the local structure of a graph. In this paper, we study the problem of sampling uniformly k-subgraphs from a given graph. We analyse a few different Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approaches, and obtain analytical results on their mixing times, which improve significantly the state of the art. In particular, we improve the bound on the mixing times of the standard MCMC approach, and the state-of-the-art MCMC sampling method PSRW, using the canonical-paths argument. In addition, we propose a novel sampling method, which we call recursive subgraph sampling RSS, and its optimized variant RSS+. The proposed methods, RSS and RSS+, are provably faster than the existing approaches. We conduct experiments and verify the uniformity of samples and the efficiency of RSS and RSS+.Description
