On Algorithmic Applications of ℱ-Branchwidth

Authors: Benjamin Bergougnoux, Thekla Hamm, Lars Jaffke, and Paloma T. Lima

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

Abstract
F-branchwidth is a framework for width measures of graphs, recently introduced by Eiben et al. [ITCS 2022], that captures tree-width, co-tree-width, clique-width, and mim-width, and several of their generalizations and interpolations. In this work, we search for algorithmic applications of F-branchwidth measures that do not have an equivalent counterpart in the literature so far. Our first contribution is a minimal set of eleven F-branchwidth measures such that each of the infinitely many F-branchwidth measures is equivalent to one of the eleven. We observe that for the FO Model Checking problem, each F-branchwidth is either equivalent to clique-width (and therefore has an FPT-algorithm by formula length plus the width) or the problem remains as hard as on general graphs even on graphs of constant width. Next, we study the number of equivalence classes of the neighborhood equivalence in a decomposition, which upper bounds the run time of the model checking algorithm for ACDN logic recently introduced by Bergougnoux et al. [SODA 2023]. We give structural lower bounds that show that for each F-branchwidth, an efficient model checking algorithm was already known or cannot be obtained via this method. Lastly, we classify the complexity of Independent Set parameterized by any F-branchwidth except for one open case. Also here, our contributions are lower bounds. In this context, we also prove that Independent Set on graphs of mim-width w cannot be solved in time n^o(w) unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis fails, answering an open question in the literature.

Crossing and Independent Families Among Polygons

Authors: Anna Brötzner, Robert Ganian, Thekla Hamm, Fabian Klute, and Irene Parada

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 349, 19th International Symposium on Algorithms and Data Structures (WADS 2025)

Abstract
Given a set A of points in the plane, a family of line segments forming a matching in A is called crossing (or independent) if each pair of segments in the family intersects (or is non-intersecting, respectively). In past works, these notions have been generalized to polygons by identifying the points in A with the vertices of a given set of polygons and forbidding the line segments from intersecting or overlapping with polygon walls. In this work, we study the computational complexity of computing maximum crossing and independent families in this more general setting. As our first two results, we show that both problems are NP-hard already when the polygons are triangles. Motivated by this, we turn to parameterized algorithms. For our main algorithmic results, we consider the number of polygons on the input as the natural parameter and under this parameterization obtain a fixed-parameter algorithm for computing a largest crossing family among these polygons, and a separate XP-algorithm for computing a largest independent family that lies in one of the faces of the polygonal domain.

Polynomial-Time Approximation of Independent Set Parameterized by Treewidth

Authors: Parinya Chalermsook, Fedor Fomin, Thekla Hamm, Tuukka Korhonen, Jesper Nederlof, and Ly Orgo

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 274, 31st Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2023)

Abstract
We prove the following result about approximating the maximum independent set in a graph. Informally, we show that any approximation algorithm with a "non-trivial" approximation ratio (as a function of the number of vertices of the input graph G) can be turned into an approximation algorithm achieving almost the same ratio, albeit as a function of the treewidth of G. More formally, we prove that for any function f, the existence of a polynomial time (n/f(n))-approximation algorithm yields the existence of a polynomial time O(tw⋅log{f(tw)}/f(tw))-approximation algorithm, where n and tw denote the number of vertices and the width of a given tree decomposition of the input graph. By pipelining our result with the state-of-the-art O(n ⋅ (log log n)²/log³n)-approximation algorithm by Feige (2004), this implies an O(tw⋅(log log tw)³/log³tw)-approximation algorithm.

The Fine-Grained Complexity of Graph Homomorphism Parameterized by Clique-Width

Authors: Robert Ganian, Thekla Hamm, Viktoriia Korchemna, Karolina Okrasa, and Kirill Simonov

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

Abstract
The generic homomorphism problem, which asks whether an input graph G admits a homomorphism into a fixed target graph H, has been widely studied in the literature. In this article, we provide a fine-grained complexity classification of the running time of the homomorphism problem with respect to the clique-width of G (denoted cw) for virtually all choices of H under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis. In particular, we identify a property of H called the signature number s(H) and show that for each H, the homomorphism problem can be solved in time O^*(s(H)^cw). Crucially, we then show that this algorithm can be used to obtain essentially tight upper bounds. Specifically, we provide a reduction that yields matching lower bounds for each H that is either a projective core or a graph admitting a factorization with additional properties - allowing us to cover all possible target graphs under long-standing conjectures.

Parameterised Partially-Predrawn Crossing Number

Authors: Thekla Hamm and Petr Hliněný

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 224, 38th International Symposium on Computational Geometry (SoCG 2022)

Abstract
Inspired by the increasingly popular research on extending partial graph drawings, we propose a new perspective on the traditional and arguably most important geometric graph parameter, the crossing number. Specifically, we define the partially predrawn crossing number to be the smallest number of crossings in any drawing of a graph, part of which is prescribed on the input (not counting the prescribed crossings). Our main result - an FPT-algorithm to compute the partially predrawn crossing number - combines advanced ideas from research on the classical crossing number and so called partial planarity in a very natural but intricate way. Not only do our techniques generalise the known FPT-algorithm by Grohe for computing the standard crossing number, they also allow us to substantially improve a number of recent parameterised results for various drawing extension problems.

A Unifying Framework for Characterizing and Computing Width Measures

Authors: Eduard Eiben, Robert Ganian, Thekla Hamm, Lars Jaffke, and O-joung Kwon

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 215, 13th Innovations in Theoretical Computer Science Conference (ITCS 2022)

Abstract
Algorithms for computing or approximating optimal decompositions for decompositional parameters such as treewidth or clique-width have so far traditionally been tailored to specific width parameters. Moreover, for mim-width, no efficient algorithms for computing good decompositions were known, even under highly restrictive parameterizations. In this work we identify ℱ-branchwidth as a class of generic decompositional parameters that can capture mim-width, treewidth, clique-width as well as other measures. We show that while there is an infinite number of ℱ-branchwidth parameters, only a handful of these are asymptotically distinct. We then develop fixed-parameter and kernelization algorithms (under several structural parameterizations) that can approximate every possible ℱ-branchwidth, providing a unifying parameterized framework that can efficiently obtain near-optimal tree-decompositions, k-expressions, as well as optimal mim-width decompositions.

Crossing-Optimal Extension of Simple Drawings

Authors: Robert Ganian, Thekla Hamm, Fabian Klute, Irene Parada, and Birgit Vogtenhuber

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 198, 48th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2021)

Abstract
In extension problems of partial graph drawings one is given an incomplete drawing of an input graph G and is asked to complete the drawing while maintaining certain properties. A prominent area where such problems arise is that of crossing minimization. For plane drawings and various relaxations of these, there is a number of tractability as well as lower-bound results exploring the computational complexity of crossing-sensitive drawing extension problems. In contrast, comparatively few results are known on extension problems for the fundamental and broad class of simple drawings, that is, drawings in which each pair of edges intersects in at most one point. In fact, the extension problem of simple drawings has only recently been shown to be NP-hard even for inserting a single edge. In this paper we present tractability results for the crossing-sensitive extension problem of simple drawings. In particular, we show that the problem of inserting edges into a simple drawing is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the number of edges to insert and an upper bound on newly created crossings. Using the same proof techniques, we are also able to answer several closely related variants of this problem, among others the extension problem for k-plane drawings. Moreover, using a different approach, we provide a single-exponential fixed-parameter algorithm for the case in which we are only trying to insert a single edge into the drawing.

Extending Nearly Complete 1-Planar Drawings in Polynomial Time

Authors: Eduard Eiben, Robert Ganian, Thekla Hamm, Fabian Klute, and Martin Nöllenburg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 170, 45th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2020)

Abstract
The problem of extending partial geometric graph representations such as plane graphs has received considerable attention in recent years. In particular, given a graph G, a connected subgraph H of G and a drawing H of H, the extension problem asks whether H can be extended into a drawing of G while maintaining some desired property of the drawing (e.g., planarity). In their breakthrough result, Angelini et al. [ACM TALG 2015] showed that the extension problem is polynomial-time solvable when the aim is to preserve planarity. Very recently we considered this problem for partial 1-planar drawings [ICALP 2020], which are drawings in the plane that allow each edge to have at most one crossing. The most important question identified and left open in that work is whether the problem can be solved in polynomial time when H can be obtained from G by deleting a bounded number of vertices and edges. In this work, we answer this question positively by providing a constructive polynomial-time decision algorithm.

Extending Partial 1-Planar Drawings

Authors: Eduard Eiben, Robert Ganian, Thekla Hamm, Fabian Klute, and Martin Nöllenburg

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 168, 47th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2020)

Abstract
Algorithmic extension problems of partial graph representations such as planar graph drawings or geometric intersection representations are of growing interest in topological graph theory and graph drawing. In such an extension problem, we are given a tuple (G,H,ℋ) consisting of a graph G, a connected subgraph H of G and a drawing ℋ of H, and the task is to extend ℋ into a drawing of G while maintaining some desired property of the drawing, such as planarity. In this paper we study the problem of extending partial 1-planar drawings, which are drawings in the plane that allow each edge to have at most one crossing. In addition we consider the subclass of IC-planar drawings, which are 1-planar drawings with independent crossings. Recognizing 1-planar graphs as well as IC-planar graphs is NP-complete and the NP-completeness easily carries over to the extension problem. Therefore, our focus lies on establishing the tractability of such extension problems in a weaker sense than polynomial-time tractability. Here, we show that both problems are fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the number of edges missing from H, i.e., the edge deletion distance between H and G. The second part of the paper then turns to a more powerful parameterization which is based on measuring the vertex+edge deletion distance between the partial and complete drawing, i.e., the minimum number of vertices and edges that need to be deleted to obtain H from G.

Finding Linear Arrangements of Hypergraphs with Bounded Cutwidth in Linear Time

Authors: Thekla Hamm

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 148, 14th International Symposium on Parameterized and Exact Computation (IPEC 2019)

Abstract
Cutwidth is a fundamental graph layout parameter. It generalises to hypergraphs in a natural way and has been studied in a wide range of contexts. For graphs it is known that for a fixed constant k there is a linear time algorithm that for any given G, decides whether G has cutwidth at most k and, in the case of a positive answer, outputs a corresponding linear arrangement. We show that such an algorithm also exists for hypergraphs.

Measuring what Matters: A Hybrid Approach to Dynamic Programming with Treewidth

Authors: Eduard Eiben, Robert Ganian, Thekla Hamm, and O-joung Kwon

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

Abstract
We develop a framework for applying treewidth-based dynamic programming on graphs with "hybrid structure", i.e., with parts that may not have small treewidth but instead possess other structural properties. Informally, this is achieved by defining a refinement of treewidth which only considers parts of the graph that do not belong to a pre-specified tractable graph class. Our approach allows us to not only generalize existing fixed-parameter algorithms exploiting treewidth, but also fixed-parameter algorithms which use the size of a modulator as their parameter. As the flagship application of our framework, we obtain a parameter that combines treewidth and rank-width to obtain fixed-parameter algorithms for Chromatic Number, Hamiltonian Cycle, and Max-Cut.
