Faster Algebraic Algorithms for Path and Packing Problems

Abstract: We study the problem of deciding whether an n-variate polynomial, presented as an arithmetic circuit G, contains a degree k square-free term with an odd coefficient. We show that if G can be evaluated over the integers modulo 2 k+1 in time t and space s, the problem can be decided with constant probability in O((kn + t)2 k ) time and O(kn + s) space. Based on this, we present new and faster algorithms for two well studied problems: (i) an O * (2 mk ) algorithm for the m-set k-packing problem and (ii) an O * (2… Show more

“…The exist methods mostly use the color-coding technique to find loop with logarithmic length, if they exist. Using color-coding, the dependence on path length can be reduced to singly exponential [2,6,19,27]. But this gives an approximation ratio of only O(n/ log n) [2].…”

“…Our present design framework, constrained multilinear sieving, originates from seminal work of Koutis [31], Williams [48], Koutis and Williams [33], and Koutis [32] in the context of group algebras. However, rather than work with group algebras we find it more convenient to pursue an implementation via multivariate polynomials and inclusion-exclusion sieving by polynomial substitution [4,5,6,7].…”

“…Algorithm Exact uses a non-trivial combination of narrow sieves [4] (see also [22]) and divide-and-color [10], which are often applied as two independent tools in the development of parameterized algorithms. Narrow sieves is an algebraic technique in which we express a parameterized problem by associating monomials with potential solutions.…”
