Refined memorization for vertex cover
نویسندگان
چکیده
Memorization is a technique which allows to speed up exponential recursive algorithms at the cost of an exponential space complexity. This technique already leads to the currently fastest algorithm for fixed-parameter vertex cover, whose time complexity is O(1.2832kk1.5 + kn), where n is the number of nodes and k is the size of the vertex cover. Via a refined use of memorization, we obtain a O(1.2759kk1.5 + kn) algorithm for the same problem. We moreover show how to further reduce the complexity to O(1.2745kk4 + kn). 2004 Published by Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملVertex Cover Kernelization Revisited: Upper and Lower Bounds for a Refined Parameter
Kernelization is a concept that enables the formal mathematical analysis of data reduction through the framework of parameterized complexity. Intensive research into the Vertex Cover problem has shown that there is a preprocessing algorithm which given an instance (G, k) of Vertex Cover outputs an equivalent instance (G′, k′) in polynomial time with the guarantee that G′ has at most 2k′ vertice...
متن کاملBounding cochordal cover number of graphs via vertex stretching
It is shown that when a special vertex stretching is applied to a graph, the cochordal cover number of the graph increases exactly by one, as it happens to its induced matching number and (Castelnuovo-Mumford) regularity. As a consequence, it is shown that the induced matching number and cochordal cover number of a special vertex stretching of a graph G are equal provided G is well-covered bipa...

متن کاملSubgraph characterization of Red/Blue-Split Graph and König Egerváry Graphs
Kőnig-Egerváry graphs (KEGs) are the graphs whose maximum size of a matching is equal to the minimum size of a vertex cover. We give an excluded subgraph characterization of KEGs. We show that KEGs are a special case of a more general class of graph: Red/Blue-split graphs, and give an excluded subgraph characterization of Red/Blue-split graphs. We show several consequences of this result includ...
