摘要:

多项式(线性)核的元定理一直是参数化复杂性研究的主题。因此,线性核的元定理存在于有界亏格的图、$H$ -无子图和$H$ -无拓扑子图上。据我们所知,对于任何更大的稀疏图类,没有多项式核的元定理;例如,对于有界扩张类或无处稠密类。在本文中,我们证明了后两种情况下,这样的元定理。更具体地说,我们表明,图的问题,具有有限的整数指数(FIS)有界扩张的图形上的线性内核时,参数化的调制器的大小,以恒定的树深度图。对于无处稠密的图类,我们的结果产生几乎线性的内核。虽然我们的参数可能看起来相当强,但我们认为,具有较弱参数(比树深度调制器)的有界扩展图的线性核化结果将无法包括我们的框架所涵盖的一些问题。此外,我们只要求问题有固定树深的图上的FIS。这使我们能够证明线性内核的问题,如最长路径/循环,精确的$s,t$ -路径,树宽和路径宽度,没有在一般的图形(和前两个甚至没有有界树宽图)。

英文摘要:

Meta-theorems for polynomial (linear) kernels have been the subject of intensive research in parameterized complexity. Heretofore, meta-theorems for linear kernels exist on graphs of bounded genus, $H$-minor-free graphs, and $H$-topological-minor-free graphs. To the best of our knowledge, no meta-theorems for polynomial kernels are known for any larger sparse graph classes; e.g., for classes of bounded expansion or for nowhere dense ones. In this paper we prove such meta-theorems for the two latter cases. More specifically, we show that graph problems that have finite integer index (FII) have linear kernels on graphs of bounded expansion when parameterized by the size of a modulator to constant-treedepth graphs. For nowhere dense graph classes, our result yields almost-linear kernels. While our parameter may seem rather strong, we argue that a linear kernelization result on graphs of bounded expansion with a weaker parameter (than treedepth modulator) would fail to include some of the problems covered by our framework. Moreover, we only require the problems to have FII on graphs of constant treedepth. This allows us to prove linear kernels for problems such as Longest Path/Cycle, Exact $s,t$-Path, Treewidth, and Pathwidth, which do not have FII on general graphs (and the first two not even on bounded treewidth graphs).
