Preprocessing Under Uncertainty: Matroid Intersection

Authors: Stefan Fafianie, Eva-Maria C. Hols, Stefan Kratsch, and Vuong Anh Quyen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 58, 41st International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2016)


Abstract
We continue the study of preprocessing under uncertainty that was initiated independently by Assadi et al. (FSTTCS 2015) and Fafianie et al. (STACS 2016). Here, we are given an instance of a tractable problem with a large static/known part and a small part that is dynamic/uncertain, and ask if there is an efficient algorithm that computes an instance of size polynomial in the uncertain part of the input, from which we can extract an optimal solution to the original instance for all (usually exponentially many) instantiations of the uncertain part. In the present work, we focus on the Matroid Intersection problem. Amongst others we present a positive preprocessing result for the important case of finding a largest common independent set in two linear matroids. Motivated by an application for intersecting two gammoids we also revisit Maximum Flow. There we tighten a lower bound of Assadi et al. and give an alternative positive result for the case of low uncertain capacity that yields a Maximum Flow instance as output rather than a matrix.

Preprocessing Under Uncertainty

Authors: Stefan Fafianie, Stefan Kratsch, and Vuong Anh Quyen

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 47, 33rd Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2016)


Abstract
In this work we study preprocessing for tractable problems when part of the input is unknown or uncertain. This comes up naturally if, e.g., the load of some machines or the congestion of some roads is not known far enough in advance, or if we have to regularly solve a problem over instances that are largely similar, e.g., daily airport scheduling with few charter flights. Unlike robust optimization, which also studies settings like this, our goal lies not in computing solutions that are (approximately) good for every instantiation. Rather, we seek to preprocess the known parts of the input, to speed up finding an optimal solution once the missing data is known. We present efficient algorithms that given an instance with partially uncertain input generate an instance of size polynomial in the amount of uncertain data that is equivalent for every instantiation of the unknown part. Concretely, we obtain such algorithms for minimum spanning tree, minimum weight matroid basis, and maximum cardinality bipartite matching, where respectively the weight of edges, weight of elements, and the availability of vertices is unknown for part of the input. Furthermore, we show that there are tractable problems, such as small connected vertex cover, for which one cannot hope to obtain similar results.
