Counting Restricted Homomorphisms via Möbius Inversion over Matroid Lattices
We present a framework for the complexity classification of parameterized counting problems that can be formulated as the summation over the numbers of homomorphisms from small pattern graphs H1, . . . ,H` to a big host graph G with the restriction that the coefficients correspond to evaluations of the Möbius function over the lattice of a graphic matroid. This generalizes the idea of Curticape...
متن کاملHomomorphisms are indeed a good basis for counting: Three fixed-template dichotomy theorems, for the price of one
Many natural combinatorial quantities can be expressed by counting the number of homomorphisms to a fixed relational structure. For example, the number of 3-colorings of an undirected graph $G$ is equal to the number of homomorphisms from $G$ to the $3$-clique. In this setup, the structure receiving the homomorphisms is often referred to as a template; we use the term template function to refer...
متن کاملConservative constraint satisfaction re-revisited
Conservative constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) constitute an important particular case of the general CSP, in which the allowed values of each variable can be restricted in an arbitrary way. Problems of this type are well studied for graph homomorphisms. A dichotomy theorem characterizing conservative CSPs solvable in polynomial time and proving that the remaining ones are NP-complete was...
متن کاملCounting Homomorphisms to Trees Modulo a Prime
Many important graph theoretic notions can be encoded as counting graph homomorphism problems, such as partition functions in statistical physics, in particular independent sets and colourings. In this article we study the complexity of #pHomsToH, the problem of counting graph homomorphisms from an input graph to a graph H modulo a prime number p. Dyer and Greenhill proved a dichotomy stating t...
متن کاملTowards a Dichotomy Theorem for the Counting Constraint Satisfaction Problem
The Counting Constraint Satisfaction Problem (#CSP) can be expressed as follows: given a set of variables, a set of values that can be taken by the variables, and a set of constraints specifying some restrictions on the values that can be taken simultaneously by some variables, determine the number of assignments of values to variables that satisfy all the constraints. The #CSP provides a gener...
