摘要:

给定一个无向图$G=(V,E)$,其边容量$c_e\geq 1$为$e\in E$,$k$顶点的子集$T$称为终端,我们说一个图$H$是$G$的质量$q$割稀疏子当且仅当$T\subseteq V(H)$,并且对于$T$的任何划分$(A,B)$,图$G$和$H$中分离$A$和$B$的最小割的值在一个因子$q$内.我们说$H$是$G$的质量- $q$流稀疏因子,当且仅当$T\subseteq V(H)$,并且对于终端上的需求的任何集合$D$,由图$G$和$H$中的$D$中的分数路由需求引起的最小边缘拥塞的值在因子$q$内。到目前为止,研究的顶点稀疏化在一个限制设置,稀疏化$H$是不允许包含任何非终结顶点,即$V(H)=T$。对于这种设置,已知有效的算法用于构造质量$O(\log k/\log\log k)$切割和流顶点稀疏器,以及关于任何流或切割稀疏器的质量的$\tildeΩ(\sqrt{\log k})$的下限。我们研究流和切割稀疏在更一般的设置,其中施泰纳顶点是允许的,也就是说,我们不再需要$V(H)=T$。我们的算法来构建恒定质量的切割稀疏的大小$O(C^3)$在时间$\poly(n)\cdot 2^C$,和恒定质量的流量稀疏的大小$C^{O(\log\log C)}$在时间$n^{O(\log C)}\cdot 2^C$,其中$C$是总容量的边缘事件的终端。

英文摘要:

Given an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ with edge capacities $c_e\geq 1$ for $e\in E$ and a subset $T$ of $k$ vertices called terminals, we say that a graph $H$ is a quality-$q$ cut sparsifier for $G$ iff $T\subseteq V(H)$, and for any partition $(A,B)$ of $T$, the values of the minimum cuts separating $A$ and $B$ in graphs $G$ and $H$ are within a factor $q$ from each other. We say that $H$ is a quality-$q$ flow sparsifier for $G$ iff $T\subseteq V(H)$, and for any set $D$ of demands over the terminals, the values of the minimum edge congestion incurred by fractionally routing the demands in $D$ in graphs $G$ and $H$ are within a factor $q$ from each other. So far vertex sparsifiers have been studied in a restricted setting where the sparsifier $H$ is not allowed to contain any non-terminal vertices, that is $V(H)=T$. For this setting, efficient algorithms are known for constructing quality-$O(\log k/\log\log k)$ cut and flow vertex sparsifiers, as well as a lower bound of $\tildeΩ(\sqrt{\log k})$ on the quality of any flow or cut sparsifier. We study flow and cut sparsifiers in the more general setting where Steiner vertices are allowed, that is, we no longer require that $V(H)=T$. We show algorithms to construct constant-quality cut sparsifiers of size $O(C^3)$ in time $\poly(n)\cdot 2^C$, and constant-quality flow sparsifiers of size $C^{O(\log\log C)}$ in time $n^{O(\log C)}\cdot 2^C$, where $C$ is the total capacity of the edges incident on the terminals.
