Abstract
Fix an algebraic structure \((\mathcal {A}, *)\). Given a graph \(G =(V, E)\) and the labelling function \(\phi \) (\(\phi : E \rightarrow \mathcal {A}\)) for the edges, two nodes s, \(t \in V\), and a subset \(F \subseteq \mathcal {A}\), the \(\mathcal {A}\)-Reach problem asks if there is a path p (need not be simple) from s to t whose yield (result of the operation in the ordered set of the labels of the edges constituting the path) is in F. On the complexity frontier of this problem, we show the following results.
-
When \(\mathcal {A}\) is a group whose size is polynomially bounded in the size of the graph (hence equivalently presented as a multiplication table at the input), and the graph is undirected, the \(\mathcal {A}\)-Reach problem is in \(\mathsf {L}\). Building on this, using a decomposition in [4], we show that, when \(\mathcal {A}\) is a fixed quasi-group, and the graph is undirected, the \(\mathcal {A}\)-Reach problem is in \(\mathsf {L}\). In contrast, we show \(\mathsf {NL}\)-hardness of the problem over bidirected graphs, when \(\mathcal {A}\) is a matrix group over \(\mathbb {Q}\). When \(\mathcal {A}\) is a fixed aperiodic monoid, we show that the problem is \(\mathsf {NL}\)-complete.
-
As our main theorem, we prove a dichotomy for graphs labelled with fixed aperiodic monoids by showing that for every fixed aperiodic monoid \(\mathcal {A}\), \(\mathcal {A}\)-Reach problem is either in \(\mathsf {L}\) or is \(\mathsf {NL}\)-complete.

We show that there exists a monoid M, such that the reachability problem in general DAGs can be reduced to \(\mathcal {A}\)-Reach problem for planar non-bipartite DAGs labelled with M. In contrast, we show that if the planar DAGs that we obtain above are bipartite, the problem can be further reduced to reachability testing in planar DAGs and hence is in \(\mathsf {UL}\).
