Characterizing Demand Graphs for (Fixed-Parameter) Shallow-Light Steiner Network

Authors: Amy Babay, Michael Dinitz, and Zeyu Zhang

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 122, 38th IARCS Annual Conference on Foundations of Software Technology and Theoretical Computer Science (FSTTCS 2018)

Abstract
We consider the Shallow-Light Steiner Network problem from a fixed-parameter perspective. Given a graph G, a distance bound L, and p pairs of vertices (s_1,t_1),...,(s_p,t_p), the objective is to find a minimum-cost subgraph G' such that s_i and t_i have distance at most L in G' (for every i in [p]). Our main result is on the fixed-parameter tractability of this problem for parameter p. We exactly characterize the demand structures that make the problem "easy", and give FPT algorithms for those cases. In all other cases, we show that the problem is W[1]-hard. We also extend our results to handle general edge lengths and costs, precisely characterizing which demands allow for good FPT approximation algorithms and which demands remain W[1]-hard even to approximate.

Abstract
We consider the Shallow-Light Steiner Network problem from a fixed-parameter perspective. Given a graph G, a distance bound L, and p pairs of vertices {(s_i,t_i)}_{i in [p]}, the objective is to find a minimum-cost subgraph G' such that s_i and t_i have distance at most L in G' (for every i in [p]). Our main result is on the fixed-parameter tractability of this problem for parameter p. We exactly characterize the demand structures that make the problem "easy", and give FPT algorithms for those cases. In all other cases, we show that the problem is W[1]-hard. We also extend our results to handle general edge lengths and costs, precisely characterizing which demands allow for good FPT approximation algorithms and which demands remain W[1]-hard even to approximate.
