素数模下图同态计数的复杂性分类

Complexity classification of counting graph homomorphisms modulo a prime number

Andrei A. Bulatov, Amirhossein Kazeminia

AI总结:

本研究证实了Faben与Jerrum提出的素数模下图同态计数复杂性猜想,并开发出可拓展至一般计数CSP的模计数归约技术,推进了模计数问题的复杂性理论研究。

摘要:

自Valiant的开创性工作以来,图同态计数及其推广形式如计数约束满足问题(Counting Constraint Satisfaction Problem, CSP)、该问题的各类变体,以及一般的计数问题一直得到深入研究。虽然图同态的精确计数复杂性(Dyer和Greenhill,2000)与计数CSP的精确计数复杂性(Bulatov,2013;Dyer和Richerby,2013)已得到充分明晰,但对自然数取模的计数问题也引发了相当多的研究兴趣。Faben与Jerrum在2015年的论文中提出一个猜想:对固定图H的同态计数在素数模下的难度,与精确计数的难度一致,除非H具有特定类型的自同构。本文证实了这一猜想。作为本研究的一部分,我们开发的技术拓展了模计数可用的归约范围,且可应用于一般CSP,而非仅局限于图同态问题。

英文摘要:

Counting graph homomorphisms and its generalizations such as the Counting Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP), its variations, and counting problems in general have been intensively studied since the pioneering work of Valiant. While the complexity of exact counting of graph homomorphisms (Dyer and Greenhill, 2000) and the counting CSP (Bulatov, 2013, and Dyer and Richerby, 2013) is well understood, counting modulo some natural number has attracted considerable interest as well. In their 2015 paper Faben and Jerrum suggested a conjecture stating that counting homomorphisms to a fixed graph H modulo a prime number is hard whenever it is hard to count exactly, unless H has automorphisms of certain kind. In this paper we confirm this conjecture. As a part of this investigation we develop techniques that widen the spectrum of reductions available for modular counting and apply to the general CSP rather than being limited to graph homomorphisms.
