We wish to pack $k$ non-overlapping congruent disks $d_1$, $d_2$, \ldots, $d_k$ of minimum radius, centered on $\ell$ such that $\sum\limits_{j=1}^k\sum\limits_{\{i:\exists p_i\in{\cal R}, p_i\in d_j^0\}}w_i+\sum\limits_{j=1}^k\sum\limits_{\{i:\exists p_i\in{\cal B}, p_i\in d_j\}}w_i$ is maximized, i.e., the sum of the weights of the points covered by $\bigcup\limits_{j=1}^kd_j$ is maximized. Here, the disks are the obnoxious or undesirable facilities generating nuisance or damage (with quantity equal to $w_i$) to every demand point (e.g., population center) $p_i\in {\cal R}$ lying in their interior. In contrast, they are the desirable facilities giving service (equal to $w_i$) to every demand point $p_i\in {\cal B}$ covered by them. The line $\ell$ represents a straight highway or railway line. These $k$ semi-obnoxious facilities need to be established on $\ell$ to receive the largest possible overall service for the nearby attractive demand points while causing minimum damage to the nearby repelling demand points. We show that the problem can be solved optimally in $O(n^4k^2)$ time. Subsequently, we improve the running time to $O(n^3k \cdot\max{(\log n, k)})$. The above-weighted variation of locating $k$ semi-obnoxious facilities may generalize the problem that Bereg et al. (2015) studied where $k=1$ i.e., the smallest radius maximum weight circle is to be centered on a line. Furthermore, we addressed two special cases of the problem where points do not have arbitrary weights. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2307.03488v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2307.03488v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 4 October, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 7 July, 2023; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2023. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.08757">arXiv:2209.08757</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2209.08757">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/2209.08757">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2209.08757">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Data Structures and Algorithms">cs.DS</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Discrete Mathematics">cs.DM</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Parameterized Complexity of Path Set Packing </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&amp;query=Aravind%2C+N+R">N.

The problem is to decide whether there exist $k$ edge-disjoint paths in $\calp$. We study the parameterized complexity of Path Set Packing with respect to both natural and structural parameters. We show that the problem is $W[1]$-hard with respect to vertex cover number, and $W[1]$-hard respect to pathwidth plus maximum degree plus solution size. These results answer an open question raised in COCOON 2018. On the positive side, we present an FPT algorithm parameterized by feedback vertex number plus maximum degree, and present an FPT algorithm parameterized by treewidth plus maximum degree plus maximum length of a path in $\calp$. These positive results complement the hardness of Path Set Packing with respect to any subset of the parameters used in the FPT algorithms. We also give a $4$-approximation algorithm for maximum path set packing problem which runs in FPT time when parameterized by feedback edge number. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2209.08757v3-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2209.08757v3-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 30 May, 2024; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 19 September, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2022. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.14864">arXiv:2203.14864</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2203.14864">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2203.14864">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Data Structures and Algorithms">cs.DS</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Chess is hard even for a single player </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&amp;query=Aravind%2C+N+R">N.

The standard version of the game is played on a regular 8 x 8 chessboard by a single player, with only white pieces, using the following rules: every move must capture a piece, no piece may capture more than 2 times, and if there is a King on the board, it must be the final piece. The goal is to clear the board, i.e, make a sequence of captures after which only one piece is left. We generalize this game to unbounded boards with $n$ pieces, each of which have a given number of captures that they are permitted to make. We show that Generalized Solo Chess is NP-complete, even when it is played by only rooks that have at most two captures remaining. It also turns out to be NP-complete even when every piece is a queen with exactly two captures remaining in the initial configuration. In contrast, we show that solvable instances of Generalized Solo Chess can be completely characterized when the game is: a) played by rooks on a one-dimensional board, and b) played by pawns with two captures left on a 2D board. Inspired by Generalized Solo Chess, we also introduce the Graph Capture Game, which involves clearing a graph of tokens via captures along edges. This game subsumes Generalized Solo Chess played by knights. We show that the Graph Capture Game is NP-complete for undirected graphs and DAGs. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2203.14864v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2203.14864v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 30 March, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 28 March, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> March 2022. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">22 pages, a slightly shorter version to appear in FUN 2022</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.08584">arXiv:2107.08584</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2107.08584">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2107.08584">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Discrete Mathematics">cs.DM</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Perfectly Matched Sets in Graphs: Parameterized and Exact Computation </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&amp;query=Aravind%2C+N+R">N.

We show that PMS is $W[1]$-hard when parameterized by solution size $k$ even when restricted to split graphs and bipartite graphs. We observe that PMS is FPT when parameterized by clique-width, and give FPT algorithms with respect to the parameters distance to cluster, distance to co-cluster and treewidth. Complementing FPT results, we show that PMS does not admit a polynomial kernel when parameterized by vertex cover number unless $NP\subseteq coNP/poly$. We also provide an exact exponential algorithm running in time $O^*(1.966^n)$. Finally, considering graphs with structural assumptions, we show that PMS remains $NP$-hard on planar graphs. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('2107.08584v4-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('2107.08584v4-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 7 November, 2022; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 18 July, 2021; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2021. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2101.06998">arXiv:2101.06998</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/2101.06998">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/2101.06998">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/2101.06998">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Data Structures and Algorithms">cs.DS</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> An FPT algorithm for Matching Cut and d-cut </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&amp;query=Aravind%2C+N+R">N R Aravind</a>, <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&amp;query=Saxena%2C+R">Roopam Saxena</a> </p> <p class="abstract mathjax"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Abstract</span>: <span class="abstract-short has-text-grey-dark mathjax" id="2101.06998v3-abstract-short" style="display: inline;"> Given a positive integer $d$, the d-CUT is the problem of deciding if an undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ has a cut $(A,B)$ such that every vertex in $A$ (resp. $B$) has at most $d$ neighbors in $B$ (resp. $A$).

Motivated by this, we design and present an FPT algorithm for d-CUT for general graphs with running time $2^{O(k\log k)}n^{O(1)}$ where $k$ is the maximum size of the edge cut. This is the first FPT algorithm for the d-CUT and MATCHING CUT with an explicit dependence on this parameter.

This is sharp up to a factor $2$. This result and its short proof have implications for the related notion of chromatic discrepancy. Drawing inspiration from both structural and extremal graph theory, we conjecture that every triangle-free graph of chromatic number $蠂$ contains an induced cycle of length $惟(蠂\log蠂)$ as $蠂\to\infty$. Even if one only demands an induced path of length $惟(蠂\log蠂)$, the conclusion would be sharp up to a constant multiple. We prove it for regular girth $5$ graphs and for girth $21$ graphs. As a common strengthening of the induced paths form of this conjecture and of Johansson&#39;s theorem (1996), we posit the existence of some $c &gt;0$ such that for every forest $H$ on $D$ vertices, every triangle-free and induced $H$-free graph has chromatic number at most $c D/\log D$.

(ii) as an induced subgraph? These problems are NP-complete and are expressible in monadic second order logic (MSOL). The MSOL formulation, together with Courcelle&#39;s theorem implies linear time solvability on graphs with bounded tree-width. This approach yields algorithms with running time f(|phi|, t) * n, where |phi| is the length of the MSOL formula, t is the tree-width of the graph and n is the number of vertices of the graph. The dependency of f(|phi|, t) on |phi| can be as bad as a tower of exponentials. In this paper, we present explicit combinatorial algorithms for these problems for graphs G whose tree-width is bounded. We obtain 2^{O(t^r)} * n time algorithms when H is any fixed graph of order r. In the special case when H = K_r, a complete graph on r vertices, we get an 2^{O(t+r \log t)} * n time algorithm. The techniques can be extended to provide FPT algorithms to determine the smallest number q such that V can be partitioned into q parts such that none of the parts have H as a subgraph (induced subgraph). <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1804.04016v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1804.04016v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 11 April, 2018; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> April 2018. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1705.08282">arXiv:1705.08282</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.08282">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1705.08282">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Data Structures and Algorithms">cs.DS</span> <span class="tag is-small is-grey tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computational Complexity">cs.CC</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Algorithms and hardness results for happy coloring problems </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&amp;query=Aravind%2C+N+R">N.

Similarly, a vertex is happy if all its incident edges are happy. Motivated by the computation of homophily in social networks, we consider the algorithmic aspects of the following Maximum Happy Edges (k-MHE) problem: given a partially k-colored graph G, find an extended full k-coloring of G maximizing the number of happy edges. When we want to maximize the number of happy vertices, the problem is known as Maximum Happy Vertices (k-MHV). We further study the complexity of the problems and their weighted variants. For instance, we prove that for every k &gt;= 3, both problems are NP-complete for bipartite graphs and k-MHV remains hard for split graphs. In terms of exact algorithms, we show both problems can be solved in time O*(2^n), and give an even faster O*(1.89^n)-time algorithm when k = 3. From a parameterized perspective, we give a linear vertex kernel for Weighted k-MHE, where edges are weighted and the goal is to obtain happy edges of at least a specified total weight. Finally, we prove both problems are solvable in polynomial-time when the graph has bounded treewidth or bounded neighborhood diversity. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1705.08282v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1705.08282v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 23 May, 2017; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> May 2017. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1509.08807">arXiv:1509.08807</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1509.08807">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1509.08807">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Data Structures and Algorithms">cs.DS</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Parameterized Lower Bounds and Dichotomy Results for the NP-completeness of $H$-free Edge Modification Problems </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&amp;query=Aravind%2C+N+R">N.

We completely settle the classical complexities of these problems by proving that $H$-free Edge Deletion is NP-complete if and only if $H$ is a graph with at least two edges, $H$-free Edge Completion is NP-complete if and only if $H$ is a graph with at least two non-edges and $H$-free Edge Editing is NP-complete if and only if $H$ is a graph with at least three vertices. Additionally, we prove that, these NP-complete problems cannot be solved in parameterized subexponential time, i.e., in time $2^{o(k)}\cdot |G|^{O(1)}$, unless Exponential Time Hypothesis fails. Furthermore, we obtain implications on the incompressibility of these problems. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1509.08807v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1509.08807v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 29 September, 2015; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> September 2015. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">16 pages. arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1507.06341</span> </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.06511">arXiv:1508.06511</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1508.06511">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/ps/1508.06511">ps</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1508.06511">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Computational Complexity">cs.CC</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> On the expressive power of read-once determinants </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&amp;query=Aravind%2C+N+R">N.

A monomial set $S$ is said to be expressible as read-$k$ projection of determinant if there is a read-$k$ projection of determinant $f$ such that the monomial set of $f$ is equal to $S$. We obtain basic results relating read-$k$ determinantal projections to the well-studied notion of determinantal complexity. We show that for sufficiently large $n$, the $n \times n$ permanent polynomial $Perm_n$ and the elementary symmetric polynomials of degree $d$ on $n$ variables $S_n^d$ for $2 \leq d \leq n-2$ are not expressible as read-once projection of determinant, whereas $mon(Perm_n)$ and $mon(S_n^d)$ are expressible as read-once projections of determinant. We also give examples of monomial sets which are not expressible as read-once projections of determinant. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1508.06511v1-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1508.06511v1-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 26 August, 2015; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> August 2015. </p> </li> <li class="arxiv-result"> <div class="is-marginless"> <p class="list-title is-inline-block"><a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/1507.06341">arXiv:1507.06341</a> <span>&nbsp;[<a href="https://arxiv.org/pdf/1507.06341">pdf</a>, <a href="https://arxiv.org/format/1507.06341">other</a>]&nbsp;</span> </p> <div class="tags is-inline-block"> <span class="tag is-small is-link tooltip is-tooltip-top" data-tooltip="Data Structures and Algorithms">cs.DS</span> </div> </div> <p class="title is-5 mathjax"> Parameterized lower bound and NP-completeness of some $H$-free Edge Deletion problems </p> <p class="authors"> <span class="search-hit">Authors:</span> <a href="/search/cs?searchtype=author&amp;query=Aravind%2C+N+R">N.

In \cite{cai1996fixed}, it is shown that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable if $\mathcal{H}$ is of finite cardinality. However, it is proved in \cite{cai2013incompressibility} that if $\mathcal{H}$ is a singleton set containing $H$, for a large class of $H$, there exists no polynomial kernel unless $coNP\subseteq NP/poly$. In this paper, we present a polynomial kernel for this problem for any fixed finite set $\mathcal{H}$ of connected graphs and when the input graphs are of bounded degree. We note that there are \textsc{$\mathcal{H}$-free Edge Deletion} problems which remain NP-complete even for the bounded degree input graphs, for example \textsc{Triangle-free Edge Deletion}\cite{brugmann2009generating} and \textsc{Custer Edge Deletion($P_3$-free Edge Deletion)}\cite{komusiewicz2011alternative}. When $\mathcal{H}$ contains $K_{1,s}$, we obtain a stronger result - a polynomial kernel for $K_t$-free input graphs (for any fixed $t&gt; 2$). We note that for $s&gt;9$, there is an incompressibility result for \textsc{$K_{1,s}$-free Edge Deletion} for general graphs \cite{cai2012polynomial}. Our result provides first polynomial kernels for \textsc{Claw-free Edge Deletion} and \textsc{Line Edge Deletion} for $K_t$-free input graphs which are NP-complete even for $K_4$-free graphs\cite{yannakakis1981edge} and were raised as open problems in \cite{cai2013incompressibility,open2013worker}. <a class="is-size-7" style="white-space: nowrap;" onclick="document.getElementById('1407.7156v2-abstract-full').style.display = 'none'; document.getElementById('1407.7156v2-abstract-short').style.display = 'inline';">&#9651; Less</a> </span> </p> <p class="is-size-7"><span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Submitted</span> 18 November, 2014; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">v1</span> submitted 26 July, 2014; <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">originally announced</span> July 2014. </p> <p class="comments is-size-7"> <span class="has-text-black-bis has-text-weight-semibold">Comments:</span> <span class="has-text-grey-dark mathjax">12 pages.
