线性超图中独立集计数的不可近似性

Inapproximability of Counting Independent Sets in Linear Hypergraphs

Guoliang Qiu, Jiaheng Wang

AI总结:

本文证明 k-一致线性超图在最大度 Δ≥5·2^{k-1}+1 时近似计数独立集是 NP 难的,从而表明现有采样与近似计数算法的适用度区间近乎紧。

摘要:

本短注证明,当最大度至多为 Δ 的 k-一致线性超图满足 Δ≥5·2^{k-1}+1 时,近似计算其中独立集的数量是 NP 难的。这证实了对于相关的采样和近似计数问题,当前最优算法能够工作的最大度区间在至多相差若干小因子的意义下是紧的。这些算法包括:Hermon、Sly 和 Zhang 提出的近似采样器与随机化近似方案(RSA,2019),Qiu、Wang 和 Zhang 提出的完美采样器(ICALP,2022),以及 Feng、Guo、Wang、Wang 和 Yin 提出的确定性近似方案(FOCS,2023)。

英文摘要:

It is shown in this note that approximating the number of independent sets in a $k$-uniform linear hypergraph with maximum degree at most $Δ$ is NP-hard if $Δ\geq 5\cdot 2^{k-1}+1$. This confirms that for the relevant sampling and approximate counting problems, the regimes on the maximum degree where the state-of-the-art algorithms work are tight, up to some small factors. These algorithms include: the approximate sampler and randomised approximation scheme by Hermon, Sly and Zhang (RSA, 2019), the perfect sampler by Qiu, Wang and Zhang (ICALP, 2022), and the deterministic approximation scheme by Feng, Guo, Wang, Wang and Yin (FOCS, 2023).
