Blazing a Trail via Matrix Multiplications: A Faster Algorithm for Non-Shortest Induced Paths

Authors: Yung-Chung Chiu and Hsueh-I Lu

Abstract

For vertices u and v of an n-vertex graph G, a uv-trail of G is an induced uv-path of G that is not a shortest uv-path of G. Berger, Seymour, and Spirkl [Discrete Mathematics 2021] gave the previously only known polynomial-time algorithm, running in O(n^{18}) time, to either output a uv-trail of G or ensure that G admits no uv-trail. We reduce the complexity to the time required to perform a poly-logarithmic number of multiplications of n²× n² Boolean matrices, leading to a largely improved O(n^{4.75})-time algorithm.
