On Finding 𝓁-Th Smallest Perfect Matchings

Authors: Nicolas El Maalouly, Sebastian Haslebacher, Adrian Taubner, and Lasse Wulf

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 351, 33rd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2025)

Abstract
Given an undirected weighted graph G and an integer k, Exact-Weight Perfect Matching (EWPM) is the problem of finding a perfect matching of weight exactly k in G. In this paper, we study EWPM and its variants. The EWPM problem is famous, since in the case of unary encoded weights, Mulmuley, Vazirani, and Vazirani showed almost 40 years ago that the problem can be solved in randomized polynomial time. However, up to this date no derandomization is known. Our first result is a simple deterministic algorithm for EWPM that runs in time n^𝒪(𝓁), where 𝓁 is the number of distinct weights that perfect matchings in G can take. In fact, we show how to find an 𝓁-th smallest perfect matching in any weighted graph (even if the weights are encoded in binary, in which case EWPM in general is known to be NP-complete) in time n^𝒪(𝓁) for any integer 𝓁. Similar next-to-optimal variants have also been studied recently for the shortest path problem. For our second result, we extend the list of problems that are known to be equivalent to EWPM. We show that EWPM is equivalent under a weight-preserving reduction to the Exact Cycle Sum problem (ECS) in undirected graphs with a conservative (i.e. no negative cycles) weight function. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to study this problem. As a consequence, the latter problem is contained in RP if the weights are encoded in unary. Finally, we identify a special case of EWPM, called BCPM, which was recently studied by El Maalouly, Steiner and Wulf. We show that BCPM is equivalent under a weight-preserving transformation to another problem recently studied by Schlotter and Sebő as well as Geelen and Kapadia: the Shortest Odd Cycle problem (SOC) in undirected graphs with conservative weights. Finally, our n^𝒪(𝓁) algorithm works in this setting as well, identifying a tractable special case of SOC, BCPM, and ECS.

Graphs with No Long Claws: An Improved Bound for the Analog of the Gyárfás' Path Argument

Authors: Romain Bourneuf, Jana Masaříková, Wojciech Nadara, and Marcin Pilipczuk

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 345, 50th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2025)

Abstract
For a fixed integer t ⩾ 1, a (t-)long claw, denoted S_{t,t,t}, is the unique tree with three leaves, each at distance exactly t from the vertex of degree three. Majewski et al. [ICALP 2022, ACM ToCT 2024] proved an analog of the Gyárfás' path argument for S_{t,t,t}-free graphs: given an n-vertex S_{t,t,t}-free graph, one can delete neighborhoods of 𝒪(log n) vertices so that the remainder admits an extended strip decomposition (an appropriate generalization of partition into connected components) into particles of multiplicatively smaller size. In this work, we refine the argument of Majewski et al. to its arguably final form: we show that a constant number of neighborhoods suffice. The statement of Majewski et al. is one of the two pillars of a recent quasi-polynomial time algorithm for Maximum Weight Independent Set in S_{t,t,t}-free graphs [Gartland et al., STOC 2024]; our work immediately improves the quasi-polynomial function in the running time bound. Furthermore, our result significantly simplifies known polynomial-time algorithms for Maximum Weight Independent Set in S_{t,t,t}-free graphs with an additional sparsity assumption such as bounded degree or excluding a fixed biclique as a subgraph.

Edge-Coloring Sparse Graphs with Δ Colors in Quasilinear Time

Authors: Łukasz Kowalik

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 308, 32nd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2024)

Abstract
In this paper we show that every graph G of bounded maximum average degree mad(G) and with maximum degree Δ can be edge-colored using the optimal number of Δ colors in quasilinear time, whenever Δ ≥ 2mad(G). The maximum average degree is within a multiplicative constant of other popular graph sparsity parameters like arboricity, degeneracy or maximum density. Our algorithm extends previous results of Chrobak and Nishizeki [Marek Chrobak and Takao Nishizeki, 1990] and Bhattacharya, Costa, Panski and Solomon [Sayan Bhattacharya et al., 2023].

Parameterized Dynamic Data Structure for Split Completion

Authors: Konrad Majewski, Michał Pilipczuk, and Anna Zych-Pawlewicz

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 308, 32nd Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2024)

Abstract
We design a randomized data structure that, for a fully dynamic graph G updated by edge insertions and deletions and integers k, d fixed upon initialization, maintains the answer to the Split Completion problem: whether one can add k edges to G to obtain a split graph. The data structure can be initialized on an edgeless n-vertex graph in time n ⋅ (k d ⋅ log n)^{𝒪(1)}, and the amortized time complexity of an update is 5^k ⋅ (k d ⋅ log n)^{𝒪(1)}. The answer provided by the data structure is correct with probability 1-𝒪(n^{-d}).

Maintaining CMSO₂ Properties on Dynamic Structures with Bounded Feedback Vertex Number

Authors: Konrad Majewski, Michał Pilipczuk, and Marek Sokołowski

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 254, 40th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2023)

Abstract
Let 𝜑 be a sentence of CMSO₂ (monadic second-order logic with quantification over edge subsets and counting modular predicates) over the signature of graphs. We present a dynamic data structure that for a given graph G that is updated by edge insertions and edge deletions, maintains whether 𝜑 is satisfied in G. The data structure is required to correctly report the outcome only when the feedback vertex number of G does not exceed a fixed constant k, otherwise it reports that the feedback vertex number is too large. With this assumption, we guarantee amortized update time O_{𝜑,k}(log n). By combining this result with a classic theorem of Erdős and Pósa, we give a fully dynamic data structure that maintains whether a graph contains a packing of k vertex-disjoint cycles with amortized update time O_k(log n). Our data structure also works in a larger generality of relational structures over binary signatures.

Max Weight Independent Set in Graphs with No Long Claws: An Analog of the Gyárfás' Path Argument

Authors: Konrad Majewski, Tomáš Masařík, Jana Novotná, Karolina Okrasa, Marcin Pilipczuk, Paweł Rzążewski, and Marek Sokołowski

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 229, 49th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2022)

Abstract
We revisit recent developments for the Maximum Weight Independent Set problem in graphs excluding a subdivided claw S_{t,t,t} as an induced subgraph [Chudnovsky, Pilipczuk, Pilipczuk, Thomassé, SODA 2020] and provide a subexponential-time algorithm with improved running time 2^𝒪(√nlog n) and a quasipolynomial-time approximation scheme with improved running time 2^𝒪(ε^{-1} log⁵ n). The Gyárfás' path argument, a powerful tool that is the main building block for many algorithms in P_t-free graphs, ensures that given an n-vertex P_t-free graph, in polynomial time we can find a set P of at most t-1 vertices, such that every connected component of G-N[P] has at most n/2 vertices. Our main technical contribution is an analog of this result for S_{t,t,t}-free graphs: given an n-vertex S_{t,t,t}-free graph, in polynomial time we can find a set P of 𝒪(t log n) vertices and an extended strip decomposition (an appropriate analog of the decomposition into connected components) of G-N[P] such that every particle (an appropriate analog of a connected component to recurse on) of the said extended strip decomposition has at most n/2 vertices.

The Asymmetric Travelling Salesman Problem In Sparse Digraphs

Authors: Łukasz Kowalik and Konrad Majewski

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 180, 15th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2020)

Abstract
Asymmetric Travelling Salesman Problem (ATSP) and its special case Directed Hamiltonicity are among the most fundamental problems in computer science. The dynamic programming algorithm running in time 𝒪^*(2ⁿ) developed almost 60 years ago by Bellman, Held and Karp, is still the state of the art for both of these problems. In this work we focus on sparse digraphs. First, we recall known approaches for Undirected Hamiltonicity and TSP in sparse graphs and we analyse their consequences for Directed Hamiltonicity and ATSP in sparse digraphs, either by adapting the algorithm, or by using reductions. In this way, we get a number of running time upper bounds for a few classes of sparse digraphs, including 𝒪^*(2^(n/3)) for digraphs with both out- and indegree bounded by 2, and 𝒪^*(3^(n/2)) for digraphs with outdegree bounded by 3. Our main results are focused on digraphs of bounded average outdegree d. The baseline for ATSP here is a simple enumeration of cycle covers which can be done in time bounded by 𝒪^*(μ(d)ⁿ) for a function μ(d) ≤ (⌈d⌉!)^(1/⌈d⌉). One can also observe that Directed Hamiltonicity can be solved in randomized time 𝒪^*((2-2^(-d))ⁿ) and polynomial space, by adapting a recent result of Björklund [ISAAC 2018] stated originally for Undirected Hamiltonicity in sparse bipartite graphs. We present two new deterministic algorithms for ATSP: the first running in time 𝒪(2^(0.441(d-1)n)) and polynomial space, and the second in exponential space with running time of 𝒪^*(τ(d)^(n/2)) for a function τ(d) ≤ d.
