Towards Tight Lower Bounds for Scheduling Problems
We show a close connection between structural hardness for k-partite graphs and tight inapproximability results for scheduling problems with precedence constraints. Assuming a natural but nontrivial generalisation of the bipartite structural hardness result of [1], we obtain a hardness of 2 − for the problem of minimising the makespan for scheduling precedence-constrained jobs with preemption o...
متن کاملParameterized Lower Bounds and Dichotomy Results for the NP-completeness of H-free Edge Modification Problems
For a graph H, the H-free Edge Deletion problem asks whether there exist at most k edges whose deletion from the input graph G results in a graph without any induced copy of H. H-free Edge Completion and H-free Edge Editing are defined similarly where only completion (addition) of edges are allowed in the former and both completion and deletion are allowed in the latter. We completely settle th...
متن کاملParameterized Complexity and Kernel Bounds for Hard Planning Problems
The propositional planning problem is a notoriously difficult computational problem. Downey et al. (1999) initiated the parameterized analysis of planning (with plan length as the parameter) and Bäckström et al. (2012) picked up this line of research and provided an extensive parameterized analysis under various restrictions, leaving open only one stubborn case. We continue this work and provid...
متن کاملA Probabilistic Approach to Problems Parameterized Above or Below Tight Lower Bounds
We introduce a new approach for establishing fixed-parameter tractability of problems parameterized above tight lower bounds or below tight upper bounds. To illustrate the approach we consider two problems of this type of unknown complexity that were introduced by Mahajan, Raman and Sikdar (J. Comput. Syst. Sci. 75, 2009). We show that a generalization of one of the problems and three nontrivia...
متن کاملAlgorithmic Lower Bounds for Problems Parameterized with Clique-Width
Many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently when the input is restricted to graphs of bounded tree-width or cliquewidth. In particular, by the celebrated result of Courcelle, every decision problem expressible in monadic second order logic is fixed parameter tractable when parameterized by the tree-width of the input graph. On the other hand if we restrict ourselves to graphs of clique-widt...
