چکیده

We consider the evaluation of first-order queries over classes databases that are nowhere dense . The notion was introduced by Nešetřil and Ossona de Mendez as a formalization “sparse” graphs generalizes many well-known graphs, such bounded degree, tree-width, or expansion. It has recently been shown Grohe, Kreutzer, Siebertz databases, sentences can be evaluated in pseudo-linear time (pseudo-linear means for all \( \epsilon \) there exists an algorithm working O(n^{1+\epsilon }) , where n is size database). For higher arities, we show any class set their solutions enumerated with constant delay after preprocessing. In same context, also preprocessing can, on input tuple, test whether it solution to query.

Enumeration for FOQueries over Nowhere Dense Graphs

We consider the evaluation of first-order queries over classes of databases that are nowhere dense. The notion of nowhere dense classes was introduced by Nešetřil and Ossona de Mendez as a formalization of classes of “sparse” graphs and generalizes many well-known classes of graphs, such as classes of bounded degree, bounded treewidth, or bounded expansion. It has recently been shown by Grohe, ...

On nowhere dense graphs

A set A of vertices of a graph G is called d-scattered in G if no two d-neighborhoods of (distinct) vertices of A intersect. In other words, A is d-scattered if no two distinct vertices of A have distance at most 2d. This notion was isolated in the context of finite model theory by Gurevich and recently it played a prominent role in the study of homomorphism preservation theorems for special cl...

Characterisations of Nowhere Dense Graphs

Nowhere dense classes of graphs were introduced by Nešetřil and Ossona de Mendez as a model for “sparsity” in graphs. It turns out that nowhere dense classes of graphs can be characterised in many different ways and have been shown to be equivalent to other concepts studied in areas such as (finite) model theory. Therefore, the concept of nowhere density seems to capture a natural property of g...

Constant Delay Enumeration for FO Queries over Databases with Local Bounded Expansion

We consider the evaluation of first-order queries over classes of databases with local bounded expansion. This class was introduced by Nešetřil and Ossona de Mendez and generalizes many well known classes of databases, such as bounded degree, bounded tree width or bounded expansion. It is known that over classes of databases with local bounded expansion, first-order sentences can be evaluated i...

Directed nowhere dense classes of graphs

Many natural computational problems on graphs such as finding dominating or independent sets of a certain size are well known to be intractable, both in the classical sense as well as in the framework of parameterized complexity. Much work therefore has focussed on exhibiting restricted classes of graphs on which these problems become tractable. While in the case of undirected graphs, there is ...
