10441 Abstracts Collection – Exact Complexity of NP-hard Problems

Authors: Thore Husfeldt, Dieter Kratsch, Ramamohan Paturi, and Gregory B. Sorkin


Abstract
A decade before NP-completeness became the lens through which Computer Science views computationally hard problems, beautiful algorithms were discovered that are much better than exhaustive search, for example Bellman's 1962 dynamic programming treatment of the Traveling Salesman problem and Ryser's 1963 inclusion--exclusion formula for the permanent.

Listing all maximal cliques in sparse graphs in near-optimal time

Authors: David Eppstein, Maarten Löffler, and Darren Strash


Abstract
The degeneracy of an $n$-vertex graph $G$ is the smallest number $d$ such that every subgraph of $G$ contains a vertex of degree at most $d$. We show that there exists a nearly-optimal fixed-parameter tractable algorithm for enumerating all maximal cliques, parametrized by degeneracy. To achieve this result, we modify the classic Bron--Kerbosch algorithm and show that it runs in time $O(dn3^{d/3})$. We also provide matching upper and lower bounds showing that the largest possible number of maximal cliques in an $n$-vertex graph with degeneracy $d$ (when $d$ is a multiple of 3 and $nge d+3$) is $(n-d)3^{d/3}$. Therefore, our algorithm matches the $Theta(d(n-d)3^{d/3})$ worst-case output size of the problem whenever $n-d=Omega(n)$.
