有向多割是W[1]-难的,即使对于四个终端对也是如此

Directed multicut is W[1]-hard, even for four terminal pairs

Marcin Pilipczuk, Magnus Wahlström

摘要:

我们证明了有向图中的多割,由割集的大小参数化,是W[1]-硬的,因此不太可能是固定参数易处理的,即使仅限于只有四个终端对的实例。这个否定的结果几乎完全解决了图分离问题的参数化复杂性领域中的一个中心开放问题,该问题最初由Marx和Razgon [SIAM J. COMPUT. 43(2):355-388(2014)],仅留下三个端子对打开的情况。我们的小工具方法还允许我们证明由终端对的数量参数化的Steiner方向问题的W[1]-硬度,解决Cygan,Kortsarz和Nutov的开放问题[SIAM J. Discrete Math.27(3):1503-1513(2013)]。

英文摘要:

We prove that Multicut in directed graphs, parameterized by the size of the cutset, is W[1]-hard and hence unlikely to be fixed-parameter tractable even if restricted to instances with only four terminal pairs. This negative result almost completely resolves one of the central open problems in the area of parameterized complexity of graph separation problems, posted originally by Marx and Razgon [SIAM J. Comput. 43(2):355-388 (2014)], leaving only the case of three terminal pairs open. Our gadget methodology allows us also to prove W[1]-hardness of the Steiner Orientation problem parameterized by the number of terminal pairs, resolving an open problem of Cygan, Kortsarz, and Nutov [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 27(3):1503-1513 (2013)].
