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.

Finding a Maximum 2-Matching Excluding Prescribed Cycles in Bipartite Graphs

Authors: Kenjiro Takazawa

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 58, 41st International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2016)

Abstract
We introduce a new framework of restricted 2-matchings close to Hamilton cycles. For an undirected graph (V,E) and a family U of vertex subsets, a 2-matching F is called U-feasible if, for each setU in U, F contains at most |setU|-1 edges in the subgraph induced by U. Our framework includes C_{<=k}-free 2-matchings, i.e., 2-matchings without cycles of at most k edges, and 2-factors covering prescribed edge cuts, both of which are intensively studied as relaxations of Hamilton cycles. The problem of finding a maximum U-feasible 2-matching is NP-hard. We prove that the problem is tractable when the graph is bipartite and each setU in U induces a Hamilton-laceable graph. This case generalizes the C_{<=4}-free 2-matching problem in bipartite graphs. We establish a min-max theorem, a combinatorial polynomial-time algorithm, and decomposition theorems by extending the theory of C_{<=4}-free 2-matchings. Our result provides the first polynomially solvable case for the maximum C_{<=k}-free 2-matching problem for k >= 5. For instance, in bipartite graphs in which every cycle of length six has at least two chords, our algorithm solves the maximum C_{<=6}-free 2-matching problem in O(n^2 m) time, where n and m are the numbers of vertices and edges, respectively.
