Obstructions for Matroids of Path-Width at most k and Graphs of Linear Rank-Width at most k

Authors: Mamadou Moustapha Kanté, Eun Jung Kim, O-joung Kwon, and Sang-il Oum

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 219, 39th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2022)

Abstract
Every minor-closed class of matroids of bounded branch-width can be characterized by a minimal list of excluded minors, but unlike graphs, this list could be infinite in general. However, for each fixed finite field F, the list contains only finitely many F-representable matroids, due to the well-quasi-ordering of F-representable matroids of bounded branch-width under taking matroid minors [J. F. Geelen, A. M. H. Gerards, and G. Whittle (2002)]. But this proof is non-constructive and does not provide any algorithm for computing these F-representable excluded minors in general. We consider the class of matroids of path-width at most k for fixed k. We prove that for a finite field F, every F-representable excluded minor for the class of matroids of path-width at most k has at most 2^{|𝔽|^{O(k²)}} elements. We can therefore compute, for any integer k and a fixed finite field F, the set of F-representable excluded minors for the class of matroids of path-width k, and this gives as a corollary a polynomial-time algorithm for checking whether the path-width of an F-represented matroid is at most k. We also prove that every excluded pivot-minor for the class of graphs having linear rank-width at most k has at most 2^{2^{O(k²)}} vertices, which also results in a similar algorithmic consequence for linear rank-width of graphs.

A Linear Fixed Parameter Tractable Algorithm for Connected Pathwidth

Authors: Mamadou Moustapha Kanté, Christophe Paul, and Dimitrios M. Thilikos

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 173, 28th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2020)

Abstract
The graph parameter of pathwidth can be seen as a measure of the topological resemblance of a graph to a path. A popular definition of pathwidth is given in terms of node search where we are given a system of tunnels (represented by a graph) that is contaminated by some infectious substance and we are looking for a search strategy that, at each step, either places a searcher on a vertex or removes a searcher from a vertex and where an edge is cleaned when both endpoints are simultaneously occupied by searchers. It was proved that the minimum number of searchers required for a successful cleaning strategy is equal to the pathwidth of the graph plus one. Two desired characteristics for a cleaning strategy is to be monotone (no recontamination occurs) and connected (clean territories always remain connected). Under these two demands, the number of searchers is equivalent to a variant of pathwidth called connected pathwidth. We prove that connected pathwidth is fixed parameter tractable, in particular we design a 2^O(k²)⋅n time algorithm that checks whether the connected pathwidth of G is at most k. This resolves an open question by [Dereniowski, Osula, and Rzążewski, Finding small-width connected path-decompositions in polynomial time. Theor. Comput. Sci., 794:85–100, 2019]. For our algorithm, we enrich the typical sequence technique that is able to deal with the connectivity demand. Typical sequences have been introduced in [Bodlaender and Kloks. Efficient and constructive algorithms for the pathwidth and treewidth of graphs. J. Algorithms, 21(2):358–402, 1996] for the design of linear parameterized algorithms for treewidth and pathwidth. While this technique has been later applied to other parameters, none of its advancements was able to deal with the connectivity demand, as it is a "global" demand that concerns an unbounded number of parts of the graph of unbounded size. The proposed extension is based on an encoding of the connectivity property that is quite versatile and may be adapted so to deliver linear parameterized algorithms for the connected variants of other width parameters as well. An immediate consequence of our result is a 2^O(k²)⋅n time algorithm for the monotone and connected version of the edge search number.

Listing Induced Steiner Subgraphs as a Compact Way to Discover Steiner Trees in Graphs

Authors: Alessio Conte, Roberto Grossi, Mamadou Moustapha Kanté, Andrea Marino, Takeaki Uno, and Kunihiro Wasa

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 138, 44th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2019)

Abstract
This paper investigates induced Steiner subgraphs as a variant of the classical Steiner trees, so as to compactly represent the (exponentially many) Steiner trees sharing the same underlying induced subgraph. We prove that the enumeration of all (inclusion-minimal) induced Steiner subgraphs is harder than the well-known Hypergraph Transversal enumeration problem if the number of terminals is not fixed. When the number of terminals is fixed, we propose a polynomial delay algorithm for listing all induced Steiner subgraphs of minimum size. We also propose a polynomial delay algorithm for listing the set of minimal induced Steiner subgraphs when the number of terminals is 3.

Enumerating Minimal Transversals of Hypergraphs without Small Holes

Authors: Mamadou M. Kanté, Kaveh Khoshkhah, and Mozhgan Pourmoradnasseri

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 117, 43rd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2018)

Abstract
We give a polynomial delay algorithm for enumerating the minimal transversals of hypergraphs without induced cycles of length 3 and 4. As a corollary, we can enumerate, with polynomial delay, the vertices of any polyhedron P(A,1)={x in R^n | Ax >= 1, x >= 0}, when A is a balanced matrix that does not contain as a submatrix the incidence matrix of a cycle of length 4. Other consequences are a polynomial delay algorithm for enumerating the minimal dominating sets of graphs of girth at least 9 and an incremental delay algorithm for enumerating all the minimal dominating sets of a bipartite graph without induced 6 and 8-cycles.
