Dynamic graph algorithms maintain the solution to a problem (e.g., a matching) on an evolving input, i.e., a graph where nodes or edges are inserted or deleted over time. They output the value of the solution after each update operation, i.e., continuously. We study (event-level and user-level) differentially private algorithms for graph problems under continual observation, i.e., differentially private dynamic graph algorithms. We present event-level private algorithms for partially dynamic counting-based problems such as triangle count that improve the additive error by a polynomial factor (in the length T of the update sequence) on the state of the art, resulting in the first algorithms with additive error polylogarithmic in T.\r\nWe also give ε-differentially private and partially dynamic algorithms for minimum spanning tree, minimum cut, densest subgraph, and maximum matching. The additive error of our improved MST algorithm is O(W log^{3/2}T / ε), where W is the maximum weight of any edge, which, as we show, is tight up to a (√{log T} / ε)-factor. For the other problems, we present a partially-dynamic algorithm with multiplicative error (1+β) for any constant β > 0 and additive error O(W log(nW) log(T) / (ε β)). Finally, we show that the additive error for a broad class of dynamic graph algorithms with user-level privacy must be linear in the value of the output solution’s range."}],"date_published":"2021-08-31T00:00:00Z","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.ESA.2021.42"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2106.14756"]},"oa_version":"Published Version","publication_status":"published","article_processing_charge":"No","_id":"11814","author":[{"last_name":"Fichtenberger","full_name":"Fichtenberger, Hendrik","first_name":"Hendrik"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-5008-6530","last_name":"Henzinger","full_name":"Henzinger, Monika H","first_name":"Monika H","id":"540c9bbd-f2de-11ec-812d-d04a5be85630"},{"first_name":"Wolfgang","full_name":"Ost, Wolfgang","last_name":"Ost"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"alternative_title":["LIPIcs"],"volume":204,"citation":{"mla":"Fichtenberger, Hendrik, et al. “Differentially Private Algorithms for Graphs under Continual Observation.” <i>29th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms</i>, vol. 204, 42, Schloss Dagstuhl - Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik, 2021, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.ESA.2021.42\">10.4230/LIPIcs.ESA.2021.42</a>.","apa":"Fichtenberger, H., Henzinger, M., &#38; Ost, W.
