Hardness of Finding Combinatorial Shortest Paths on Graph Associahedra

Authors: Takehiro Ito, Naonori Kakimura, Naoyuki Kamiyama, Yusuke Kobayashi, Shun-ichi Maezawa, Yuta Nozaki, and Yoshio Okamoto

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 261, 50th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2023)

Abstract
We prove that the computation of a combinatorial shortest path between two vertices of a graph associahedron, introduced by Carr and Devadoss, is NP-hard. This resolves an open problem raised by Cardinal. A graph associahedron is a generalization of the well-known associahedron. The associahedron is obtained as the graph associahedron of a path. It is a tantalizing and important open problem in theoretical computer science whether the computation of a combinatorial shortest path between two vertices of the associahedron can be done in polynomial time, which is identical to the computation of the flip distance between two triangulations of a convex polygon, and the rotation distance between two rooted binary trees. Our result shows that a certain generalized approach to tackling this open problem is not promising. As a corollary of our theorem, we prove that the computation of a combinatorial shortest path between two vertices of a polymatroid base polytope cannot be done in polynomial time unless P = NP. Since a combinatorial shortest path on the matroid base polytope can be computed in polynomial time, our result reveals an unexpected contrast between matroids and polymatroids.

Shortest Reconfiguration of Perfect Matchings via Alternating Cycles

Authors: Takehiro Ito, Naonori Kakimura, Naoyuki Kamiyama, Yusuke Kobayashi, and Yoshio Okamoto

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 144, 27th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2019)

Abstract
Motivated by adjacency in perfect matching polytopes, we study the shortest reconfiguration problem of perfect matchings via alternating cycles. Namely, we want to find a shortest sequence of perfect matchings which transforms one given perfect matching to another given perfect matching such that the symmetric difference of each pair of consecutive perfect matchings is a single cycle. The problem is equivalent to the combinatorial shortest path problem in perfect matching polytopes. We prove that the problem is NP-hard even when a given graph is planar or bipartite, but it can be solved in polynomial time when the graph is outerplanar.

On the Complexity of Stable Fractional Hypergraph Matching

Authors: Takashi Ishizuka and Naoyuki Kamiyama

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 123, 29th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2018)

Abstract
In this paper, we consider the complexity of the problem of finding a stable fractional matching in a hypergraphic preference system. Aharoni and Fleiner proved that there exists a stable fractional matching in every hypergraphic preference system. Furthermore, Kintali, Poplawski, Rajaraman, Sundaram, and Teng proved that the problem of finding a stable fractional matching in a hypergraphic preference system is PPAD-complete. In this paper, we consider the complexity of the problem of finding a stable fractional matching in a hypergraphic preference system whose maximum degree is bounded by some constant. The proof by Kintali, Poplawski, Rajaraman, Sundaram, and Teng implies the PPAD-completeness of the problem of finding a stable fractional matching in a hypergraphic preference system whose maximum degree is 5. In this paper, we prove that (i) this problem is PPAD-complete even if the maximum degree is 3, and (ii) if the maximum degree is 2, then this problem can be solved in polynomial time. Furthermore, we prove that the problem of finding an approximate stable fractional matching in a hypergraphic preference system is PPAD-complete.

The b-Branching Problem in Digraphs

Authors: Naonori Kakimura, Naoyuki Kamiyama, and Kenjiro Takazawa

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 117, 43rd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2018)

Abstract
In this paper, we introduce the concept of b-branchings in digraphs, which is a generalization of branchings serving as a counterpart of b-matchings. Here b is a positive integer vector on the vertex set of a digraph, and a b-branching is defined as a common independent set of two matroids defined by b: an arc set is a b-branching if it has at most b(v) arcs sharing the terminal vertex v, and it is an independent set of a certain sparsity matroid defined by b. We demonstrate that b-branchings yield an appropriate generalization of branchings by extending several classical results on branchings. We first present a multi-phase greedy algorithm for finding a maximum-weight b-branching. We then prove a packing theorem extending Edmonds' disjoint branchings theorem, and provide a strongly polynomial algorithm for finding optimal disjoint b-branchings. As a consequence of the packing theorem, we prove the integer decomposition property of the b-branching polytope. Finally, we deal with a further generalization in which a matroid constraint is imposed on the b(v) arcs sharing the terminal vertex v.
