To handle operations that change the sequence S of updates, Demaine et al. [7] introduced retroactive data structures (RDS). A retroactive operation modifies the update sequence S in a given position t, called time, and either creates or cancels an update in S at time t. A fully retroactive data structure supports queries at any time t: a query at time t is answered using only the updates of S up to time t. While efficient RDS have been proposed for classic data structures, e.g., stack, priority queue and binary search tree, the retroactive version of graph problems are rarely studied.\r\n\r\nIn this paper we study retroactive graph problems including connectivity, minimum spanning forest (MSF), maximum degree, etc. We show that under the OMv conjecture (proposed by Henzinger et al. [15]), there does not exist fully RDS maintaining connectivity or MSF, or incremental fully RDS maintaining the maximum degree with 𝑂(𝑛1−𝜖) time per operation, for any constant 𝜖>0. Furthermore, We provide RDS with almost tight time per operation. We give fully RDS for maintaining the maximum degree, connectivity and MSF in 𝑂̃ (𝑛) time per operation. We also give an algorithm for the incremental (insertion-only) fully retroactive connectivity with 𝑂̃ (1) time per operation, showing that the lower bound cannot be extended to this setting.\r\n\r\nWe also study a restricted version of RDS, where the only change to S is the swap of neighboring updates and show that for this problem we can beat the above hardness result. This also implies the first non-trivial dynamic Reeb graph computation algorithm."}],"publication":"17th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures","publication_status":"published","type":"conference","extern":"1","volume":12808,"date_updated":"2023-02-10T08:31:50Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0302-9743"],"eissn":["1611-3349"],"isbn":["9783030835071"],"eisbn":["9783030835088"]},"external_id":{"arxiv":["1910.03332"]},"page":"471–484","status":"public","oa":1,"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","article_processing_charge":"No","date_created":"2022-08-08T13:01:29Z","month":"08","citation":{"apa":"Henzinger, M.
