For every $g,cgeq 3$, the problem restricted to instances of girth $g$ and coloring number $c$, is either NP-complete or in P.

Dragan and Leitert [Theor. Comput.

They also showed that ESP is W[2]-hard when parameterized by $ell$. On the positive side, Kuv cera and Such'y [IWOCA 2021] showed that the problem exhibits fixed parameter tractable (FPT) behavior when parameterized by modular width, cluster vertex deletion set, maximum leaf number, or the combined parameters disjoint paths deletion set and $ell$. It was asked as an open question in the above paper, if ESP is FPT parameterized by disjoint paths deletion set or feedback vertex set. We answer these questions partially and obtain the following results: - ESP is FPT when parameterized by disjoint paths deletion set, split vertex deletion set or the combined parameters feedback vertex set and eccentricity of the graph. - We design a $(1+epsilon)$-factor FPT approximation algorithm when parameterized by the feedback vertex set number. - ESP is W[2]-hard when parameterized by the chordal vertex deletion set.","PeriodicalId":403593,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms","volume":"517 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116196799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We give improved lower and upper bounds on the approximation ratio of two simple algorithms for this problem.

The online Delayed F-Node-Deletion Problem (F-Edge-Deletion Problem}) is to keep G free of every H in F by deleting nodes (edges) until no induced subgraph isomorphic to any graph in F can be found in G. The task is to keep the number of deletions minimal. Advice complexity is a model in which an online algorithm has access to a binary tape of infinite length, on which an oracle can encode information to increase the performance of the algorithm. We are interested in the minimum number of advice bits that are necessary and sufficient to solve a deletion problem optimally. In this work, we first give essentially tight bounds on the advice complexity of the Delayed F-Node-Deletion Problem and F-Edge-Deletion Problem where F consists of a single, arbitrary graph H. We then show that the gadget used to prove these results can be utilized to give tight bounds in the case of node deletions if F consists of either only disconnected graphs or only connected graphs. Finally, we show that the number of advice bits that is necessary and sufficient to solve the general Delayed F-Node-Deletion Problem is heavily dependent on the obstruction set F. To this end, we provide sets for which this number is either constant, logarithmic or linear in the optimal number of deletions.","PeriodicalId":403593,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126895569","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This problem originates from the practical setting of reducing the power consumption in a computer network: it models turning off as many links as possible while retaining the ability to transmit at least $alpha$ times the traffic compared to the original network. First we prove that MCPS is NP-hard already on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). Our reduction also shows that a closely related problem (which only considers the arguably most complicated core of the problem in the objective function) is NP-hard to approximate within a sublogarithmic factor already on DAGs. In terms of positive results, we present a simple linear time algorithm that solves MCPS optimally on directed series-parallel graphs (DSPs). Further, we introduce the family of laminar series-parallel graphs (LSPs), a generalization of DSPs that also includes cyclic and very dense graphs. Not only are we able to solve MCPS on LSPs in quadratic time, but our approach also yields straightforward quadratic time algorithms for several related problems such as Minimum Equivalent Digraph and Directed Hamiltonian Cycle on LSPs.","PeriodicalId":403593,"journal":{"name":"International Workshop on Combinatorial Algorithms","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123571336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
