First-Order Model-Checking in Random Graphs and Complex Networks

Authors: Jan Dreier, Philipp Kuinke, and Peter Rossmanith

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 173, 28th Annual European Symposium on Algorithms (ESA 2020)

Abstract
Complex networks are everywhere. They appear for example in the form of biological networks, social networks, or computer networks and have been studied extensively. Efficient algorithms to solve problems on complex networks play a central role in today’s society. Algorithmic meta-theorems show that many problems can be solved efficiently. Since logic is a powerful tool to model problems, it has been used to obtain very general meta-theorems. In this work, we consider all problems definable in first-order logic and analyze which properties of complex networks allow them to be solved efficiently. The mathematical tool to describe complex networks are random graph models. We define a property of random graph models called α-power-law-boundedness. Roughly speaking, a random graph is α-power-law-bounded if it does not admit strong clustering and its degree sequence is bounded by a power-law distribution with exponent at least α (i.e. the fraction of vertices with degree k is roughly O(k^{-α})). We solve the first-order model-checking problem (parameterized by the length of the formula) in almost linear FPT time on random graph models satisfying this property with α ≥ 3. This means in particular that one can solve every problem expressible in first-order logic in almost linear expected time on these random graph models. This includes for example preferential attachment graphs, Chung-Lu graphs, configuration graphs, and sparse Erdős-Rényi graphs. Our results match known hardness results and generalize previous tractability results on this topic.

Maximum Shallow Clique Minors in Preferential Attachment Graphs Have Polylogarithmic Size

Authors: Jan Dreier, Philipp Kuinke, and Peter Rossmanith

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 176, Approximation, Randomization, and Combinatorial Optimization. Algorithms and Techniques (APPROX/RANDOM 2020)

Abstract
Preferential attachment graphs are random graphs designed to mimic properties of real word networks. They are constructed by a random process that iteratively adds vertices and attaches them preferentially to vertices that already have high degree. We prove various structural asymptotic properties of this graph model. In particular, we show that the size of the largest r-shallow clique minor in Gⁿ_m is at most log(n)^{O(r²)}m^{O(r)}. Furthermore, there exists a one-subdivided clique of size log(n)^{1/4}. Therefore, preferential attachment graphs are asymptotically almost surely somewhere dense and algorithmic techniques developed for structurally sparse graph classes are not directly applicable. However, they are just barely somewhere dense. The removal of just slightly more than a polylogarithmic number of vertices asymptotically almost surely yields a graph with locally bounded treewidth.

The Complexity of Packing Edge-Disjoint Paths

Authors: Jan Dreier, Janosch Fuchs, Tim A. Hartmann, Philipp Kuinke, Peter Rossmanith, Bjoern Tauer, and Hung-Lung Wang

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

Abstract
We introduce and study the complexity of Path Packing. Given a graph G and a list of paths, the task is to embed the paths edge-disjoint in G. This generalizes the well known Hamiltonian-Path problem. Since Hamiltonian Path is efficiently solvable for graphs of small treewidth, we study how this result translates to the much more general Path Packing. On the positive side, we give an FPT-algorithm on trees for the number of paths as parameter. Further, we give an XP-algorithm with the combined parameters maximal degree, number of connected components and number of nodes of degree at least three. Surprisingly the latter is an almost tight result by runtime and parameterization. We show an ETH lower bound almost matching our runtime. Moreover, if two of the three values are constant and one is unbounded the problem becomes NP-hard. Further, we study restrictions to the given list of paths. On the positive side, we present an FPT-algorithm parameterized by the sum of the lengths of the paths. Packing paths of length two is polynomial time solvable, while packing paths of length three is NP-hard. Finally, even the spacial case Exact Path Packing where the paths have to cover every edge in G exactly once is already NP-hard for two paths on 4-regular graphs.
