Book Synopsis Combinatorics and Complexity of Partition Functions by : Alexander Barvinok
Download or read book Combinatorics and Complexity of Partition Functions written by Alexander Barvinok and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partition functions arise in combinatorics and related problems of statistical physics as they encode in a succinct way the combinatorial structure of complicated systems. The main focus of the book is on efficient ways to compute (approximate) various partition functions, such as permanents, hafnians and their higher-dimensional versions, graph and hypergraph matching polynomials, the independence polynomial of a graph and partition functions enumerating 0-1 and integer points in polyhedra, which allows one to make algorithmic advances in otherwise intractable problems. The book unifies various, often quite recent, results scattered in the literature, concentrating on the three main approaches: scaling, interpolation and correlation decay. The prerequisites include moderate amounts of real and complex analysis and linear algebra, making the book accessible to advanced math and physics undergraduates.

Book Synopsis Dualities in graphs and digraphs by : Hatzel, Meike
Download or read book Dualities in graphs and digraphs written by Hatzel, Meike and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis we describe dualities in directed as well as undirected graphs based on tools such as width-parameters, obstructions and substructures. We mainly focus on directed graphs and their structure. In the context of a long open conjecture that bounds the monotonicity costs of a version of the directed cops and robber game, we introduce new width-measures based on directed separations that are closely related to DAG-width. We identify a tangle-like obstruction for which we prove a duality theorem. Johnson, Reed, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas introduced the width measure directed treewidth as a generalisation of treewidth for directed graphs. We introduce a new width measure, the cyclewidth, which is parametrically equivalent to directed treewidth. Making use of the connection between directed graphs and bipartite graphs with perfect matchings we characterise the digraphs of low cyclewidth. Generalising the seminal work by Robertson and Seymour resulting in a global structure theorem for undirected graphs, there is the goal of obtaining a structure theorem, based on directed treewidth, describing the structure of the directed graphs excluding a fixed butterfly minor. Working in this direction we present a new flat wall theorem for directed graphs which we believe to provide a better base for a directed structure theorem than the existing ones. On undirected graphs we present several results on induced subgraphs in the graphs themselves or the square graph of their linegraph. These results range from general statements about all graphs to the consideration of specific graph classes such as the one with exactly two moplexes. In der vorliegenden Arbeit beschreiben wir Dualitäten in gerichteten sowie in ungerichteten Graphen basierend auf Konzepten wie Weiteparametern, Obstruktionen und Substrukturen. Der Hauptfokus der Arbeit liegt bei gerichteten Graphen und ihrer Struktur. Im Kontext einer lange offenen Vermutung, dass die Monotoniekosten einer Variante des Räuber und Gendarm Spiels für gerichtete Graphen beschränkt sind, führen wir neue Weiteparameter ein, die auf gerichteten Separationen basieren und eng mit DAG-Weite verwandt sind. Wir identifizieren Tangle-artige Obstruktionen zu diesen Weiteparametern und beweisen die Dualität zwischen diesen beiden Konzepten. Johnson, Reed, Robertson, Seymour und Thomas haben die gerichtete Baumweite als gerichtete Verallgemeinerung der Baumweite auf ungerichteten Graphen eingeführt. Wir führen einen neuen Weiteparameter, die Cyclewidth, ein, der parametrisch equivalent zur gerichteten Baumweite ist. Unter Nutzung der Verwandtschaft von gerichteten Graphen und bipartiten Graphen mit perfekten Matchings charakterisieren wir die gerichteten Graphen mit kleiner Cyclewidth. Ein einschlagendes Ergebnis in der Graphenstrukturtheorie ist das Strukturtheorem von Robertson und Seymour. Basierend darauf gibt es Anstrengungen ein solches Strukturtheorem auch für gerichtete Graphen zu finden und dafür die gerichtete Baumweite als Grundlage zu nutzen. Dieses Theorem soll die Struktur aller gerichteten Graphen beschreiben, die einen festen gerichteten Graphen als Butterflyminoren ausschließen. In diesem Kontext beweisen wir ein neues Flat-wall-theorem für gerichtete Graphen, dass unserer Erwartung nach eine bessere Basis für ein gerichtetes Strukturtheorem bietet als die bisher betrachteten Alternativen. Auf ungerichteten Graphen präsentieren wir einige Ergebnisse bezüglich induzierten Subgraphen in gegebenen Graphen oder ihren Linegraphen. Diese Ergebnisse reichen von der Betrachtung spezifischer Graphklassen, wie den Graphen mit zwei Moplexen, bis zu Ergebnissen auf der allgemeinen Klasse aller Graphen.

Book Synopsis Degree-constrained editing of small-degree graphs by : Nichterlein, Andre
Download or read book Degree-constrained editing of small-degree graphs written by Nichterlein, Andre and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis deals with degree-constrained graph modification problems. In particular, we investigate the computational complexity of DAG Realization and Degree Anonymity. The DAG Realization problem is, given a multiset of positive integer pairs, to decide whether there is a realizing directed acyclic graph (DAG), that is, pairs are one-to-one assigned to vertices such that the indegree and the outdegree of every vertex coincides with the two integers of the assigned pair. The Degree Anonymity problem is, given an undirected graph G and two positive integers k and s, to decide whether at most s graph modification operations can be performed in G in order to obtain a k-anonymous graph, that is, a graph where for each vertex there are k − 1 other vertices with the same degree. We classify both problems as NP-complete, that is, there are presumably no polynomial-time algorithms that can solve every instance of these problems. Confronted with this worst-case intractability, we perform a parameterized complexity study in order to detect efficiently solvable special cases that are still practically relevant. The goal herein is to develop fixed-parameter algorithms where the seemingly unavoidable exponential dependency in the running time is confined to a parameter of the input. If the parameter is small, then the corresponding fixed-parameter algorithm is fast. The parameter thus measures some structure in the input whose exploitation makes the particular input tractable. Considering Degree Anonymity, two natural parameters provided with the input are anonymity level k and solution size s. However, we will show that Degree Anonymity is W[1]-hard with respect to the parameter s even if k = 2. This means that the existence of fixed-parameter algorithms for s and k is very unlikely. Thus, other parameters have to be considered. We will show that the parameter maximum vertex degree is very promising for both DAG Realization and Degree Anonymity. Herein, for Degree Anonymity, we consider the maximum degree of the input graph. Considering DAG Realization, we take the maximum degree in a realizing DAG. Due to the problem definition, we can easily determine the maximum degree by taking the maximum over all integers in the given multiset. We provide fixed-parameter algorithms with respect to the maximum degree for DAG Realization and for Anonym E-Ins. The later is the variant of Degree Anonymity when only edge insertions are allowed as modification operations. If we allow edge deletions or vertex deletions as graph modification operations, then we can show that the corresponding variants of Degree Anonymity—called Anonym V-Del and Anonym E-Del—are NP-complete even if the maximum vertex degree is seven. Moreover, we provide strong intractability results for Anonym E-Del and Anonym V-Del proving that they remain NP-complete in several restricted graph classes. Studying the approximability of natural optimization problems associated with Anonym E-Del or Anonym V-Del, we obtain negative results showing that none of the considered problems can be approximated in polynomial time better than within a factor of n^(1/2) where n denotes the number of vertices in the input. Furthermore, for the optimization variants where the solution size s is given and the task is to maximize the anonymity level k, this inapproximability even holds if we allow a running time that is exponential in s. Observe that DAG Realization also can be seen as degree-constrained graph modification problem where only arc insertions are allowed: Starting with an arcless graph, the task is to insert arcs to obtain a realizing DAG for the given multiset. The above classification with respect to the parameter maximum degree shows that in graphs with small maximum degree the modification operation edge respectively arc insertion is easier than vertex or edge deletion. There is a plausible explanation for this behavior: When the maximum degree is small, then there is a high freedom in inserting edges or arcs as for a given vertex almost all other vertices can be chosen as new neighbor. Observe that for DAG Realization the additional requirement that the directed graph shall be acyclic restricts this freedom. In Anonym E-Ins, we do not have restrictions on this freedom. In fact, exploiting this freedom in our implementation for Anonym E-Ins, we show that our theoretical ideas can be turned into successful heuristics and lower bounds. Experiments on several large-scale real-world datasets show that our implementation significantly improves on a recent heuristic and provides (provably) optimal solutions on about 21 % (56 of 260) of the real-world data.

Book Synopsis Shared-Memory Parallelism Can be Simple, Fast, and Scalable by : Julian Shun
Download or read book Shared-Memory Parallelism Can be Simple, Fast, and Scalable written by Julian Shun and published by Morgan & Claypool. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parallelism is the key to achieving high performance in computing. However, writing efficient and scalable parallel programs is notoriously difficult, and often requires significant expertise. To address this challenge, it is crucial to provide programmers with high-level tools to enable them to develop solutions easily, and at the same time emphasize the theoretical and practical aspects of algorithm design to allow the solutions developed to run efficiently under many different settings. This thesis addresses this challenge using a three-pronged approach consisting of the design of shared-memory programming techniques, frameworks, and algorithms for important problems in computing. The thesis provides evidence that with appropriate programming techniques, frameworks, and algorithms, shared-memory programs can be simple, fast, and scalable, both in theory and in practice. The results developed in this thesis serve to ease the transition into the multicore era. The first part of this thesis introduces tools and techniques for deterministic parallel programming, including means for encapsulating nondeterminism via powerful commutative building blocks, as well as a novel framework for executing sequential iterative loops in parallel, which lead to deterministic parallel algorithms that are efficient both in theory and in practice. The second part of this thesis introduces Ligra, the first high-level shared memory framework for parallel graph traversal algorithms. The framework allows programmers to express graph traversal algorithms using very short and concise code, delivers performance competitive with that of highly-optimized code, and is up to orders of magnitude faster than existing systems designed for distributed memory. This part of the thesis also introduces Ligra+, which extends Ligra with graph compression techniques to reduce space usage and improve parallel performance at the same time, and is also the first graph processing system to support in-memory graph compression. The third and fourth parts of this thesis bridge the gap between theory and practice in parallel algorithm design by introducing the first algorithms for a variety of important problems on graphs and strings that are efficient both in theory and in practice. For example, the thesis develops the first linear-work and polylogarithmic-depth algorithms for suffix tree construction and graph connectivity that are also practical, as well as a work-efficient, polylogarithmic-depth, and cache-efficient shared-memory algorithm for triangle computations that achieves a 2–5x speedup over the best existing algorithms on 40 cores. This is a revised version of the thesis that won the 2015 ACM Doctoral Dissertation Award.
