有向反馈顶点集的线性时间参数化算法

A Linear Time Parameterized Algorithm for Directed Feedback Vertex Set

Daniel Lokshtanov, M. S. Ramanujan, Saket Saurabh

摘要:

在有向反馈顶点集(DFVS)问题中,输入是$n$顶点和$m$边上的有向图$D$,以及整数$k$。目标是确定是否存在一组至多与$D$的每个有向圈相交的$k$顶点。DFVS是否承认固定参数易处理(FPT)算法被认为是参数化复杂性中最重要的开放问题,直到Chen,Liu,Lu,O'Sullivan和Razgon [JACM 2008]肯定地回答了这个问题。他们给出了一个算法的问题与运行时间$O(k!4^kk^4nm)$。本文给出了一个具有运行时间的DFVS算法$O(k!4^kk^5(n+m))$。我们的算法是第一个算法DFVS与输入大小的线性依赖。此外,我们的算法的运行时间对参数$k$的渐近依赖性匹配到一个因子$k$的算法的陈,刘,陆,O 'Sullivan和Razgon。在设计DFVS算法的过程中,我们给出了一种通用的方法来从基于迭代压缩的算法中去除$n$的一个因子,用于其他一些研究得很好的参数化复杂性的覆盖问题。我们通过加速$n$的因子来证明该技术的适用性,$n$是当前用于多切[STOC 2011,SICOMP 2014]和定向子集反馈顶点集[ICALP 2012,TALG 2014]的最佳FPT算法。

英文摘要:

In the Directed Feedback Vertex Set (DFVS) problem, the input is a directed graph $D$ on $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, and an integer $k$. The objective is to determine whether there exists a set of at most $k$ vertices intersecting every directed cycle of $D$. Whether or not DFVS admits a fixed parameter tractable (FPT) algorithm was considered the most important open problem in parameterized complexity until Chen, Liu, Lu, O'Sullivan and Razgon [JACM 2008] answered the question in the affirmative. They gave an algorithm for the problem with running time $O(k!4^kk^4nm)$. Since then, no faster algorithm for the problem has been found. In this paper, we give an algorithm for DFVS with running time $O(k!4^kk^5(n+m))$. Our algorithm is the first algorithm for DFVS with linear dependence on input size. Furthermore, the asymptotic dependence of the running time of our algorithm on the parameter $k$ matches up to a factor $k$ the algorithm of Chen, Liu, Lu, O'Sullivan and Razgon. On the way to designing our algorithm for DFVS, we give a general methodology to shave off a factor of $n$ from iterative-compression based algorithms for a few other well-studied covering problems in parameterized complexity. We demonstrate the applicability of this technique by speeding up by a factor of $n$, the current best FPT algorithms for Multicut [STOC 2011, SICOMP 2014] and Directed Subset Feedback Vertex Set [ICALP 2012, TALG 2014].
