使用未成年人保持终端距离

Preserving Terminal Distances using Minors

Robert Krauthgamer, Tamar Zondiner

摘要:

我们引入了以下压缩具有边长和终端顶点$R\subseteq V(G)$的无向图G的概念。距离保持子式是具有可能不同的边长的(G的)子式G',使得$R\subseteq V(G')$和每对终端之间的最短路径距离在G和G'中完全相同。使得每个具有k= |R|终端的图G允许至多有f*(k)个顶点的保距离子图G'的最小f *(k)是多少?简单分析表明,$f*(k)\leq O(k^4)$ .我们的主要结果证明,$f*(k)\geq Ω(k^2)$,显着改善了平凡的$f*(k)\geq k$。我们的下界甚至对平面图G也成立,与常树宽的图G相反,我们证明了O(k)个顶点就足够了。

英文摘要:

We introduce the following notion of compressing an undirected graph G with edge-lengths and terminal vertices $R\subseteq V(G)$. A distance-preserving minor is a minor G' (of G) with possibly different edge-lengths, such that $R\subseteq V(G')$ and the shortest-path distance between every pair of terminals is exactly the same in G and in G'. What is the smallest f*(k) such that every graph G with k=|R| terminals admits a distance-preserving minor G' with at most f*(k) vertices? Simple analysis shows that $f*(k)\leq O(k^4)$. Our main result proves that $f*(k)\geq Ω(k^2)$, significantly improving over the trivial $f*(k)\geq k$. Our lower bound holds even for planar graphs G, in contrast to graphs G of constant treewidth, for which we prove that O(k) vertices suffice.
