On the Complexity of Problems on Tree-Structured Graphs

Authors: Hans L. Bodlaender, Carla Groenland, Hugo Jacob, Marcin Pilipczuk, and Michał Pilipczuk

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 249, 17th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2022)


Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a new class of parameterized problems, which we call XALP: the class of all parameterized problems that can be solved in f(k)n^O(1) time and f(k)log n space on a non-deterministic Turing Machine with access to an auxiliary stack (with only top element lookup allowed). Various natural problems on "tree-structured graphs" are complete for this class: we show that List Coloring and All-or-Nothing Flow parameterized by treewidth are XALP-complete. Moreover, Independent Set and Dominating Set parameterized by treewidth divided by log n, and Max Cut parameterized by cliquewidth are also XALP-complete. Besides finding a "natural home" for these problems, we also pave the road for future reductions. We give a number of equivalent characterisations of the class XALP, e.g., XALP is the class of problems solvable by an Alternating Turing Machine whose runs have tree size at most f(k)n^O(1) and use f(k)log n space. Moreover, we introduce "tree-shaped" variants of Weighted CNF-Satisfiability and Multicolor Clique that are XALP-complete.

On the Parameterized Complexity of Computing Tree-Partitions

Authors: Hans L. Bodlaender, Carla Groenland, and Hugo Jacob

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 249, 17th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2022)


Abstract
We study the parameterized complexity of computing the tree-partition-width, a graph parameter equivalent to treewidth on graphs of bounded maximum degree. On one hand, we can obtain approximations of the tree-partition-width efficiently: we show that there is an algorithm that, given an n-vertex graph G and an integer k, constructs a tree-partition of width O(k⁷) for G or reports that G has tree-partition width more than k, in time k^O(1) n². We can improve slightly on the approximation factor by sacrificing the dependence on k, or on n. On the other hand, we show the problem of computing tree-partition-width exactly is XALP-complete, which implies that it is W[t]-hard for all t. We deduce XALP-completeness of the problem of computing the domino treewidth. Finally, we adapt some known results on the parameter tree-partition-width and the topological minor relation, and use them to compare tree-partition-width to tree-cut width.

XNLP-Completeness for Parameterized Problems on Graphs with a Linear Structure

Authors: Hans L. Bodlaender, Carla Groenland, Hugo Jacob, Lars Jaffke, and Paloma T. Lima

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 249, 17th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2022)


Abstract
In this paper, we showcase the class XNLP as a natural place for many hard problems parameterized by linear width measures. This strengthens existing W[1]-hardness proofs for these problems, since XNLP-hardness implies W[t]-hardness for all t. It also indicates, via a conjecture by Pilipczuk and Wrochna [ToCT 2018], that any XP algorithm for such problems is likely to require XP space. In particular, we show XNLP-completeness for natural problems parameterized by pathwidth, linear clique-width, and linear mim-width. The problems we consider are Independent Set, Dominating Set, Odd Cycle Transversal, (q-)Coloring, Max Cut, Maximum Regular Induced Subgraph, Feedback Vertex Set, Capacitated (Red-Blue) Dominating Set, and Bipartite Bandwidth.

List Colouring Trees in Logarithmic Space

Authors: Hans L. Bodlaender, Carla Groenland, and Hugo Jacob

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 244, 30th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2022)


Abstract
We show that List Colouring can be solved on n-vertex trees by a deterministic Turing machine using O(log n) bits on the worktape. Given an n-vertex graph G = (V,E) and a list L(v) ⊆ {1,… ,n} of available colours for each v ∈ V, a list colouring for G is a proper colouring c such that c(v) ∈ L(v) for all v.

Close Relatives (Of Feedback Vertex Set), Revisited

Authors: Hugo Jacob, Thomas Bellitto, Oscar Defrain, and Marcin Pilipczuk

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 214, 16th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2021)


Abstract
At IPEC 2020, Bergougnoux, Bonnet, Brettell, and Kwon (Close Relatives of Feedback Vertex Set Without Single-Exponential Algorithms Parameterized by Treewidth, IPEC 2020, LIPIcs vol. 180, pp. 3:1-3:17) showed that a number of problems related to the classic Feedback Vertex Set (FVS) problem do not admit a 2^{o(k log k)} ⋅ n^{𝒪(1)}-time algorithm on graphs of treewidth at most k, assuming the Exponential Time Hypothesis. This contrasts with the 3^{k} ⋅ k^{𝒪(1)} ⋅ n-time algorithm for FVS using the Cut&Count technique. During their live talk at IPEC 2020, Bergougnoux et al. posed a number of open questions, which we answer in this work. - Subset Even Cycle Transversal, Subset Odd Cycle Transversal, Subset Feedback Vertex Set can be solved in time 2^{𝒪(k log k)} ⋅ n in graphs of treewidth at most k. This matches a lower bound for Even Cycle Transversal of Bergougnoux et al. and improves the polynomial factor in some of their upper bounds. - Subset Feedback Vertex Set and Node Multiway Cut can be solved in time 2^{𝒪(k log k)} ⋅ n, if the input graph is given as a cliquewidth expression of size n and width k. - Odd Cycle Transversal can be solved in time 4^k ⋅ k^{𝒪(1)} ⋅ n if the input graph is given as a cliquewidth expression of size n and width k. Furthermore, the existence of a constant ε > 0 and an algorithm performing this task in time (4-ε)^k ⋅ n^{𝒪(1)} would contradict the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis. A common theme of the first two algorithmic results is to represent connectivity properties of the current graph in a state of a dynamic programming algorithm as an auxiliary forest with 𝒪(k) nodes. This results in a 2^{𝒪(k log k)} bound on the number of states for one node of the tree decomposition or cliquewidth expression and allows to compare two states in k^{𝒪(1)} time, resulting in linear time dependency on the size of the graph or the input cliquewidth expression.
