Efficient Parameterized Algorithms for Computing All-Pairs Shortest Paths

Authors: Stefan Kratsch and Florian Nelles

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 154, 37th International Symposium on Theoretical Aspects of Computer Science (STACS 2020)

Abstract
Computing all-pairs shortest paths is a fundamental and much-studied problem with many applications. Unfortunately, despite intense study, there are still no significantly faster algorithms for it than the ?(n³) time algorithm due to Floyd and Warshall (1962). Somewhat faster algorithms exist for the vertex-weighted version if fast matrix multiplication may be used. Yuster (SODA 2009) gave an algorithm running in time ?(n^2.842), but no combinatorial, truly subcubic algorithm is known. Motivated by the recent framework of efficient parameterized algorithms (or "FPT in P"), we investigate the influence of the graph parameters clique-width (cw) and modular-width (mw) on the running times of algorithms for solving ALL-PAIRS SHORTEST PATHS. We obtain efficient (and combinatorial) parameterized algorithms on non-negative vertex-weighted graphs of times ?(cw²n²), resp. ?(mw²n + n²). If fast matrix multiplication is allowed then the latter can be improved to ?(mw^{1.842} n + n²) using the algorithm of Yuster as a black box. The algorithm relative to modular-width is adaptive, meaning that the running time matches the best unparameterized algorithm for parameter value mw equal to n, and they outperform them already for mw ∈ ?(n^{1 - ε}) for any ε > 0.

Efficient and Adaptive Parameterized Algorithms on Modular Decompositions

Authors: Stefan Kratsch and Florian Nelles

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 112, 26th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2018)

Abstract
We study the influence of a graph parameter called modular-width on the time complexity for optimally solving well-known polynomial problems such as Maximum Matching, Triangle Counting, and Maximum s-t Vertex-Capacitated Flow. The modular-width of a graph depends on its (unique) modular decomposition tree, and can be computed in linear time O(n+m) for graphs with n vertices and m edges. Modular decompositions are an important tool for graph algorithms, e.g., for linear-time recognition of certain graph classes. Throughout, we obtain efficient parameterized algorithms of running times O(f(mw)n+m), O(n+f(mw)m) , or O(f(mw)+n+m) for low polynomial functions f and graphs of modular-width mw. Our algorithm for Maximum Matching, running in time O(mw^2 log mw n+m), is both faster and simpler than the recent O(mw^4n+m) time algorithm of Coudert et al. (SODA 2018). For several other problems, e.g., Triangle Counting and Maximum b-Matching, we give adaptive algorithms, meaning that their running times match the best unparameterized algorithms for worst-case modular-width of mw=Theta(n) and they outperform them already for mw=o(n), until reaching linear time for mw=O(1).
