线性着色的多项式树深界

Polynomial Treedepth Bounds in Linear Colorings

Jeremy Kun, Michael P. O'Brien, Marcin Pilipczuk, Blair D. Sullivan

摘要:

低树深着色是利用有界扩展类中的结构的算法的重要工具;它们保证使用很少颜色的子图具有有界树深。这些着色在使用的颜色总数和树深度界限之间有一个隐含的权衡,并且先前的经验工作表明,在实践中,前者在现有算法的运行时间中占主导地位。我们引入$p$线性着色作为常用的$p$为中心的着色的替代。它们可以在有界扩展类中有效地计算,并且最多使用与$p$中心着色一样多的颜色。虽然来自$p$ -中心着色的一组$k<p$颜色诱导至多$k$的树深度的子图,但是来自$p$ -线性着色的相同数量的颜色可以诱导更大树深度的子图。在一般图中,我们建立了一个多项式的树深上界,并通过构造性着色算法给出了树和区间图的更紧的上界。我们也给出了一个co-NP-完备约简,用于识别$p$ -线性着色,并讨论了在实践中克服这一限制的方法。此预印本扩展了[9]中出现的结果;对于[9]中省略的完整证明,请参阅此预印本的先前版本。

英文摘要:

Low-treedepth colorings are an important tool for algorithms that exploit structure in classes of bounded expansion; they guarantee subgraphs that use few colors have bounded treedepth. These colorings have an implicit tradeoff between the total number of colors used and the treedepth bound, and prior empirical work suggests that the former dominates the run time of existing algorithms in practice. We introduce $p$-linear colorings as an alternative to the commonly used $p$-centered colorings. They can be efficiently computed in bounded expansion classes and use at most as many colors as $p$-centered colorings. Although a set of $k<p$ colors from a $p$-centered coloring induces a subgraph of treedepth at most $k$, the same number of colors from a $p$-linear coloring may induce subgraphs of larger treedepth. We establish a polynomial upper bound on the treedepth in general graphs, and give tighter bounds in trees and interval graphs via constructive coloring algorithms. We also give a co-NP-completeness reduction for recognizing $p$-linear colorings and discuss ways to overcome this limitation in practice. This preprint extends results that appeared in [9]; for full proofs omitted from [9], see previous versions of this preprint.
