Known algorithms for EDGE CLIQUE COVER are probably optimal
In the EDGE CLIQUE COVER (ECC) problem, given a graph G and an integer k, we ask whether the edges of G can be covered with k complete subgraphs of G or, equivalently, whether G admits an intersection model on k-element universe. Gramm et al. [JEA 2008] have shown a set of simple rules that reduce the number of vertices of G to 2, and no algorithm is known with significantly better running time...
متن کاملKnown Algorithms on Graphs on Bounded Treewidth are Probably Optimal
We obtain a number of lower bounds on the running time of algorithms solving problems on graphs of bounded treewidth. We prove the results under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis of Impagliazzo and Paturi. In particular, assuming that SAT cannot be solved in (2−ǫ)m time, we show that for any ǫ > 0; • INDEPENDENT SET cannot be solved in (2 − ǫ)tw(G)|V (G)| time, • DOMINATING SET cannot be s...
متن کاملData Reduction, Exact, and Heuristic Algorithms for Clique Cover
To cover the edges of a graph with a minimum number of cliques is an NP-complete problem with many applications. The state-of-the-art solving algorithm is a polynomial-time heuristic from the 1970’s. We present an improvement of this heuristic. Our main contribution, however, is the development of efficient and effective polynomial-time data reduction rules that, combined with a search tree alg...
متن کاملOn the Complete Width and Edge Clique Cover Problems
A complete graph is the graph in which every two vertices are adjacent. For a graph G = (V,E), the complete width of G is the minimum k such that there exist k independent sets Ni ⊆ V , 1 ≤ i ≤ k, such that the graph G obtained from G by adding some new edges between certain vertices inside the sets Ni, 1 ≤ i ≤ k, is a complete graph. The complete width problem is to decide whether the complete...
متن کاملApproximation Algorithms for Edge Partitioned Vertex Cover Problems
We consider a natural generalization of the Partial Vertex Cover problem. Here an instance consists of a graph G = (V,E), a cost function c : V → Z, a partition P1, . . . , Pr of the edge set E, and a parameter ki for each partition Pi. The goal is to find a minimum cost set of vertices which cover at least ki edges from the partition Pi. We call this the Partition-VC problem. In this paper, we...
