Computing Tree Decompositions with FlowCutter: PACE 2017 Submission

چکیده

We describe the algorithm behind our PACE 2017 submission to the heuristic tree decomposition computation track. It was the only competitor to solve all instances and won a tight second place. The algorithm was originally developed in the context of accelerating shortest path computation on road graphs using multilevel partitions. We illustrate how this seemingly unrelated field fits into tree decomposition and parameterized complexity theory.

Jdrasil: A Modular Library for Computing Tree Decompositions

While the theoretical aspects concerning the computation of tree width – one of the most important graph parameters – are well understood, it is not clear how it can be computed practically. We present the open source Java library Jdrasil that implements several different state of the art algorithms for this task. By experimentally comparing these algorithms, we show that the default choices ma...

htd - A Free, Open-Source Framework for (Customized) Tree Decompositions and Beyond

Decompositions of graphs play a central role in the field of parameterized complexity and are the basis for many fixed-parameter tractable algorithms for problems that are NP-hard in general. Tree decompositions are the most prominent concept in this context and several tools for computing tree decompositions recently competed in the 1st Parameterized Algorithms and Computational Experiments Ch...

DynASP2.5: Dynamic Programming on Tree Decompositions in Action

A vibrant theoretical research area are efficient exact parameterized algorithms. Very recent solving competitions such as the PACE challenge show that there is also increasing practical interest in the parameterized algorithms community. An important research question is whether dedicated parameterized exact algorithms exhibit certain practical relevance and one can even beat well-established ...

Size-Constrained Tree Decompositions

Tree-Decompositions are the corner-stone of many dynamic programming algorithms for solving graph problems. Since the complexity of such algorithms generally depends exponentially on the width (size of the bags) of the decomposition, much work has been devoted to compute tree-decompositions with small width. However, practical algorithms computing tree-decompositions only exist for graphs with ...

On computing tree and path decompositions with metric constraints on the bags

We here investigate on the complexity of computing the tree-length and the tree-breadth of any graph G, that are respectively the best possible upper-bounds on the diameter and the radius of the bags in a tree decomposition of G. Path-length and path-breadth are similarly defined and studied for path decompositions. So far, it was already known that tree-length is NP-hard to compute. We here pr...
