Exponential-time quantum algorithms for graph coloring problems

Kazuya Shimizu, Ryuhei Mori

备注：: 14 pages

英文摘要：

The fastest known classical algorithm deciding the $k$-colorability of $n$-vertex graph requires running time $Ω(2^n)$ for $k\ge 5$. In this work, we present an exponential-space quantum algorithm computing the chromatic number with running time $O(1.9140^n)$ using quantum random access memory (QRAM). Our approach is based on Ambainis et al's quantum dynamic programming with applications of Grover's search to branching algorithms. We also present a polynomial-space quantum algorithm not using QRAM for the graph $20$-coloring problem with running time $O(1.9575^n)$. In the polynomial-space quantum algorithm, we essentially show $(4-ε)^n$-time classical algorithms that can be improved quadratically by Grover's search.

Explicit 3-colorings for exponential graphs

For a graph $H$ and integer $k \geq 1$, two functions $f, g$ from $V(H)$ into $\{1, \dots, k\}$ are adjacent if for all edges $uv$ of $H$, $f(u) \neq g(v)$. The graph of all such functions is the exponential graph $K_k^H$. El-Zahar and Sauer proved that if $χ(H) \geq 4$, then $K_3^H$ is 3-chromatic. Tardif showed that, implicit in their proof, is an algorithm for 3-coloring $K_3^H$ whose time complexity is polynomial in the size of $K_3^H$. Tardif then asked if there is an "explicit" algorithm for finding such a coloring: Essentially, given a function $f$ belonging to a 3-chromatic component o…

Optimal Distributed Coloring Algorithms for Planar Graphs in the LOCAL model

In this paper, we consider distributed coloring for planar graphs with a small number of colors. We present an optimal (up to a constant factor) $O(\log{n})$ time algorithm for 6-coloring planar graphs. Our algorithm is based on a novel technique that in a nutshell detects small structures that can be easily colored given a proper coloring of the rest of the vertices and removes them from the graph until the graph contains a small enough number of edges. We believe this technique might be of independent interest. In addition, we present a lower bound for 4-coloring planar graphs that essential…

Randomly coloring graphs of bounded treewidth

We consider the problem of sampling a proper $k$-coloring of a graph of maximal degree $Δ$ uniformly at random. We describe a new Markov chain for sampling colorings, and show that it mixes rapidly on graphs of bounded treewidth if $k\geq(1+ε)Δ$, for any $ε>0$.

A modified dna computing approach to tackle the exponential solution space of the graph coloring problem

Although it has been evidenced that DNA computing is able to solve the graph coloring problem in a polynomial time complexity, but the exponential solution space is still a restrictive factor in applying this technique for solving really large problems. In this paper a modified DNA computing approach based on Adleman-Lipton model is proposed which tackles the mentioned restriction by coloring the vertices one by one. In each step, it expands the DNA strands encoding promising solutions and discards those which encode infeasible ones. A sample graph is colored by simulating the proposed approac…

Role Coloring Bipartite Graphs

A k-role coloring of a graph G is an assignment of k colors to the vertices of G such that if any two vertices are assigned the same color, then their neighborhood are assigned the same set of colors. By definition, every graph on n vertices admits an n-role coloring. While for every graph on n vertices, it is trivial to decide if it admits a 1-role coloring, determining whether a graph admits a k-role coloring is a notoriously hard problem for k greater than 1. In fact, it is known that k-Role coloring is NP-complete for k greater than 1 on arbitrary graphs. There has been extensive research …

Parameterized Algorithms for Conflict-free Colorings of Graphs

In this paper, we study the conflict-free coloring of graphs induced by neighborhoods. A coloring of a graph is conflict-free if every vertex has a uniquely colored vertex in its neighborhood. The conflict-free coloring problem is to color the vertices of a graph using the minimum number of colors such that the coloring is conflict-free. We consider both closed neighborhoods, where the neighborhood of a vertex includes itself, and open neighborhoods, where a vertex does not included in its neighborhood. We study the parameterized complexity of conflict-free closed neighborhood coloring and con…

Deterministic Graph Coloring in the Streaming Model

Recent breakthroughs in graph streaming have led to the design of single-pass semi-streaming algorithms for various graph coloring problems such as $(Δ+1)$-coloring, degeneracy-coloring, coloring triangle-free graphs, and others. These algorithms are all randomized in crucial ways and whether or not there is any deterministic analogue of them has remained an important open question in this line of work. We settle this fundamental question by proving that there is no deterministic single-pass semi-streaming algorithm that given a graph $G$ with maximum degree $Δ$, can output a proper coloring o…

Parameterized Coloring Problems on Threshold Graphs

In this paper, we study several coloring problems on graphs from the viewpoint of parameterized complexity. We show that Precoloring Extension is fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) parameterized by distance to clique and Equitable Coloring is FPT parameterized by the distance to threshold graphs. We also study the List k-Coloring and show that the problem is NP-complete on split graphs and it is FPT parameterized by solution size on split graphs.

An on-line competitive algorithm for coloring bipartite graphs without long induced paths

The existence of an on-line competitive algorithm for coloring bipartite graphs remains a tantalizing open problem. So far there are only partial positive results for bipartite graphs with certain small forbidden graphs as induced subgraphs. We propose a new on-line competitive coloring algorithm for $P_9$-free bipartite graphs.

Deterministic Distributed (Delta + o(Δ))-Edge-Coloring, and Vertex-Coloring of Graphs with Bounded Diversity

We consider coloring problems in the distributed message-passing setting. The previously-known deterministic algorithms for edge-coloring employed at least (2Delta - 1) colors, even though any graph admits an edge-coloring with Delta + 1 colors [V64]. Moreover, the previously-known deterministic algorithms that employed at most O(Delta) colors required superlogarithmic time [B15,BE10,BE11,FHK15]. In the current paper we devise deterministic edge-coloring algorithms that employ only Delta + o(Delta) colors, for a very wide family of graphs. Specifically, as long as the arboricity is a = O(Delta…

Linear-time algorithm for vertex 2-coloring without monochromatic triangles on planar graphs

In the problem of 2-coloring without monochromatic triangles (or triangle-tree 2-coloring), vertices of the simple, connected, undirected graph are colored with either 'black' or 'white' such that there are no 3 mutually adjacent vertices of the same color. In this paper we are positively answering the question posed in our previous work, namely, if there exists an algorithm solving 2-coloring without monochromatic triangles on planar graphs with linear-time complexity.

Lower bounds for on-line graph colorings

We propose two strategies for Presenter in on-line graph coloring games. The first one constructs bipartite graphs and forces any on-line coloring algorithm to use $2\log_2 n - 10$ colors, where $n$ is the number of vertices in the constructed graph. This is best possible up to an additive constant. The second strategy constructs graphs that contain neither $C_3$ nor $C_5$ as a subgraph and forces $Ω(\frac{n}{\log n}^\frac{1}{3})$ colors. The best known on-line coloring algorithm for these graphs uses $O(n^{\frac{1}{2}})$ colors.

Spatial Mixing of Coloring Random Graphs

We study the strong spatial mixing (decay of correlation) property of proper $q$-colorings of random graph $G(n, d/n)$ with a fixed $d$. The strong spatial mixing of coloring and related models have been extensively studied on graphs with bounded maximum degree. However, for typical classes of graphs with bounded average degree, such as $G(n, d/n)$, an easy counterexample shows that colorings do not exhibit strong spatial mixing with high probability. Nevertheless, we show that for $q\geαd+β$ with $α>2$ and sufficiently large $β=O(1)$, with high probability proper $q$-colorings of random graph…

Complexity and algorithms for injective edge-coloring in graphs

An injective $k$-edge-coloring of a graph $G$ is an assignment of colors, i.e. integers in $\{1, \ldots , k\}$, to the edges of $G$ such that any two edges each incident with one distinct endpoint of a third edge, receive distinct colors. The problem of determining whether such a $k$-coloring exists is called k-INJECTIVE EDGE-COLORING. We show that 3-INJECTIVE EDGE-COLORING is NP-complete, even for triangle-free cubic graphs, planar subcubic graphs of arbitrarily large girth, and planar bipartite subcubic graphs of girth~6. 4-INJECTIVE EDGE-COLORING remains NP-complete for cubic graphs. For an…

Complexity of Grundy coloring and its variants

The Grundy number of a graph is the maximum number of colors used by the greedy coloring algorithm over all vertex orderings. In this paper, we study the computational complexity of GRUNDY COLORING, the problem of determining whether a given graph has Grundy number at least $k$. We also study the variants WEAK GRUNDY COLORING (where the coloring is not necessarily proper) and CONNECTED GRUNDY COLORING (where at each step of the greedy coloring algorithm, the subgraph induced by the colored vertices must be connected). We show that GRUNDY COLORING can be solved in time $O^*(2.443^n)$ and WEAK G…

Hierarchical and Modularly-Minimal Vertex Colorings

Cographs are exactly the hereditarily well-colored graphs, i.e., the graphs for which a greedy vertex coloring of every induced subgraph uses only the minimally necessary number of colors $χ(G)$. We show that greedy colorings are a special case of the more general hierarchical vertex colorings, which recently were introduced in phylogenetic combinatorics. Replacing cotrees by modular decomposition trees generalizes the concept of hierarchical colorings to arbitrary graphs. We show that every graph has a modularly-minimal coloring $σ$ satisfying $|σ(M)|=χ(M)$ for every strong module $M$ of $G$.…

Linear-Time and Efficient Distributed Algorithms for List Coloring Graphs on Surfaces

In 1994, Thomassen proved that every planar graph is 5-list-colorable. In 1995, Thomassen proved that every planar graph of girth at least five is 3-list-colorable. His proofs naturally lead to quadratic-time algorithms to find such colorings. Here, we provide the first such linear-time algorithms to find such colorings. For a fixed surface S, Thomassen showed in 1997 that there exists a linear-time algorithm to decide if a graph embedded in S is 5-colorable and similarly in 2003 if a graph of girth at least five embedded in S is 3-colorable. Using the theory of hyperbolic families, the author…
