Kernelization in Almost Linear Time for Clustering into Bounded Vertex Cover Components

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

Abstract
Motivated by the growing interest in graph clustering and the framework proposed during the Dagstuhl Seminar 23331, we consider a natural specialization of this general approach (as also suggested during the seminar). The seminar introduced a broad perspective on clustering, where the goal is to partition a graph into connected components (or "clusters") that satisfy simple structural integrity constraints - not necessarily limited to cliques. In our work, we focus on the case where each cluster is required to have bounded vertex cover number. Specifically, a connected component C satisfies this condition if there exists a set S ⊆ V(C) with |S| ≤ d such that C - S is an independent set. We study this within the framework of the {Vertex Deletion to d-Vertex Cover Components} ({Vertex Deletion to d-VCC}) problem: given a graph G and an integer k, the task is to determine whether there exists a vertex set S ⊆ V(G) of size at most k such that every connected component of G - S has vertex cover number at most d. We also examine the edge-deletion variant, {Edge Deletion to d-Vertex Cover Components} ({Edge Deletion to d-VCC}), where the goal is to delete at most k edges so that each connected component of the resulting graph has vertex cover number at most d. We obtain following results. 1) {Vertex Deletion to d-VCC} admits a kernel with {𝒪}(d⁶k³) vertices and {𝒪}(d⁹k⁴) edges. 2) {Edge Deletion to d-VCC}, admits a kernel with {𝒪}(d⁴k) vertices and {𝒪}(d⁵k) edges. Both of our kernelization algorithms run in time 𝒪(1.253^d ⋅ (kd)^{𝒪(1)} ⋅ n log n). It is important to note that, unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) fails, the dependence on d cannot be improved to 2^{o(d)}, as the case k = 0 reduces to solving the classical Vertex Cover problem, which is known to require 2^{Ω(d)} time under ETH. A key ingredient in our kernelization algorithms is a structural result about the hereditary graph class 𝒢_d, consisting of graphs in which every connected component has vertex cover number at most d. We show that 𝒢_d admits a finite obstruction set (with respect to the induced subgraph relation) of size 2^{𝒪(d²)}, where each obstruction graph has at most 3d + 2 vertices. This combinatorial result may be of independent interest.

Preprocessing to Reduce the Search Space for Odd Cycle Transversal

Authors: Bart M. P. Jansen, Yosuke Mizutani, Blair D. Sullivan, and Ruben F. A. Verhaegh

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 321, 19th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2024)

Abstract
The NP-hard Odd Cycle Transversal problem asks for a minimum vertex set whose removal from an undirected input graph G breaks all odd cycles, and thereby yields a bipartite graph. The problem is well-known to be fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the size k of the desired solution. It also admits a randomized kernelization of polynomial size, using the celebrated matroid toolkit by Kratsch and Wahlström. The kernelization guarantees a reduction in the total size of an input graph, but does not guarantee any decrease in the size of the solution to be sought; the latter governs the size of the search space for FPT algorithms parameterized by k. We investigate under which conditions an efficient algorithm can detect one or more vertices that belong to an optimal solution to Odd Cycle Transversal. By drawing inspiration from the popular crown reduction rule for Vertex Cover, and the notion of antler decompositions that was recently proposed for Feedback Vertex Set, we introduce a graph decomposition called tight odd cycle cut that can be used to certify that a vertex set is part of an optimal odd cycle transversal. While it is NP-hard to compute such a graph decomposition, we develop parameterized algorithms to find a set of at least k vertices that belong to an optimal odd cycle transversal when the input contains a tight odd cycle cut certifying the membership of k vertices in an optimal solution. The resulting algorithm formalizes when the search space for the solution-size parameterization of Odd Cycle Transversal can be reduced by preprocessing. To obtain our results, we develop a graph reduction step that can be used to simplify the graph to the point that the odd cycle cut can be detected via color coding.

Abstract
This report documents the program and the outcomes of Dagstuhl Seminar 23331 "Recent Trends in Graph Decomposition", which took place from 13. August to 18. August, 2023. The seminar brought together 33 experts from academia and industry to discuss graph decomposition, a pivotal technique for handling massive graphs in applications such as social networks and scientific simulations. The seminar addressed the challenges posed by contemporary hardware designs, the potential of deep neural networks and reinforcement learning in developing heuristics, the unique optimization requirements of large sparse data, and the need for scalable algorithms suitable for emerging architectures. Through presentations, discussions, and collaborative sessions, the event fostered an exchange of innovative ideas, leading to the creation of community notes highlighting key open problems in the field.

PACE Solver Description

PACE Solver Description: Hydra Prime

Authors: Yosuke Mizutani, David Dursteler, and Blair D. Sullivan

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 285, 18th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2023)

Abstract
This note describes our submission to the 2023 PACE Challenge on the computation of twin-width. Our solver Hydra Prime combines modular decomposition with a collection of upper- and lower-bound algorithms, which are alternatingly applied on the prime graphs resulting from the modular decomposition. We introduce two novel approaches which contributed to the solver’s winning performance in the Exact Track: timeline encoding and hydra decomposition. Timeline encoding is a new data structure for computing the width of a given contraction sequence, enabling faster local search; the hydra decomposition is an iterative refinement strategy featuring a small vertex separator.

Parameterized Complexity of Maximum Happy Set and Densest k-Subgraph

Authors: Yosuke Mizutani and Blair D. Sullivan

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

Abstract
We present fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms for two problems, Maximum Happy Set (MaxHS) and Densest k-Subgraph (DkS) - also known as Maximum Edge Happy Set. Given a graph G and an integer k, MaxHS asks for a set S of k vertices such that the number of happy vertices with respect to S is maximized, where a vertex v is happy if v and all its neighbors are in S. We show that MaxHS can be solved in time 𝒪(2^mw ⋅ mw ⋅ k² ⋅ |V(G)|) and 𝒪(8^cw ⋅ k² ⋅ |V(G)|), where mw and cw denote the modular-width and the clique-width of G, respectively. This answers the open questions on fixed-parameter tractability posed in [Asahiro et al., 2021]. The DkS problem asks for a subgraph with k vertices maximizing the number of edges. If we define happy edges as the edges whose endpoints are in S, then DkS can be seen as an edge-variant of MaxHS. In this paper we show that DkS can be solved in time f(nd)⋅|V(G)|^𝒪(1) and 𝒪(2^{cd}⋅ k² ⋅ |V(G)|), where nd and cd denote the neighborhood diversity and the cluster deletion number of G, respectively, and f is some computable function. This result implies that DkS is also fixed-parameter tractable by twin cover number.
