• Abstract: We study the query complexity of determining if a graph is connected with global queries. The first model we look at is matrix-vector multiplication queries to the adjacency matrix. Here, for an $n$-vertex graph with adjacency matrix $A$, one can query a vector $x \in \{0,1\}^n$ and receive the answer $Ax$. We give a randomized algorithm that can output a spanning forest of a weighted graph with constant probability after $O(\log^4(n))$ matrix-vector multiplication queries to the adjacency matrix. This complements a result of Sun et al.\ (ICALP 2019) that gives a randomized algorithm that can output a spanning forest of a graph after $O(\log^4(n))$ matrix-vector multiplication queries to the signed vertex-edge incidence matrix of the graph. As an application, we show that a quantum algorithm can output a spanning forest of an unweighted graph after $O(\log^5(n))$ cut queries, improving and simplifying a result of Lee, Santha, and Zhang (SODA 2021), which gave the bound $O(\log^8(n))$. In the second part of the paper, we turn to showing lower bounds on the linear query complexity of determining if a graph is connected. If $w$ is the weight vector of a graph (viewed as an $\binom{n}{2}$ dimensional vector), in a linear query one can query any vector $z \in \mathbb{R}^{n \choose 2}$ and receive the answer $\langle z, w\rangle$. We show that a zero-error randomized algorithm must make $\Omega(n)$ linear queries in expectation to solve connectivity. As far as we are aware, this is the first lower bound of any kind on the unrestricted linear query complexity of connectivity. We show this lower bound by looking at the linear query \emph{certificate complexity} of connectivity, and characterize this certificate complexity in a linear algebraic fashion.

  We consider the problem of minimizing the number of matrix-vector queries needed for accurate trace estimation in the dynamic setting where our underlying matrix is changing slowly. We provide a novel binary tree summation procedure that simultaneously estimates all $m$ traces up to $epsilon$ error with $delta$ failure probability. Our lower bounds (1) give the first tight bounds for Hutchinson's estimator in the matrix-vector product model with Frobenius norm error even in the static setting, and (2) are the first unconditional lower bounds for dynamic trace estimation.
