关于计算有向图可达顶点数复杂性的一个注记
A Note on the Complexity of Computing the Number of Reachable Vertices in a Digraph
摘要:
在这项工作中,我们考虑以下问题:给定一个有向图$G=(V,E)$,对于每个顶点$v$,我们要计算从$v$可达的顶点数。换句话说,我们要计算$G$的传递闭包中每个顶点的出度。我们表明,这个问题是不可解的时间$\mathcal{O}\left(|E|^{2-ε}\right)$的任何$ε>0$,除非强指数时间假设是假的。如果假定$G$是非循环的,这个结果仍然成立。
英文摘要:
In this work, we consider the following problem: given a digraph $G=(V,E)$, for each vertex $v$, we want to compute the number of vertices reachable from $v$. In other words, we want to compute the out-degree of each vertex in the transitive closure of $G$. We show that this problem is not solvable in time $\mathcal{O}\left(|E|^{2-ε}\right)$ for any $ε>0$, unless the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis is false. This result still holds if $G$ is assumed to be acyclic.
