Abstract

We relate NP to parameterized complexity via the ETH, SETH, and prove results on XP-optimality. Namely, we give methods to show that, under reasonable hypotheses, current algorithms for various computational tasks are optimal up to an O-factor.

Fußnoten
1
Known to the authors as “son of feasible” as reported in Downey [237].
 
2
Many of the key ideas in this were implicit, in some sense, in [126, 127], we are following the route of Downey et al. [238] which contained the definition of Mini-W[1] and of miniatures of NP problems, many combinatorial reductions, especially Theorem 29.4.2, the Turing counting trick, and the inclusion of Mini[1] in W[1]. The programme was initiated by Cai and Juedes [127].
 
3
The reader may note that there are in effect three theorems being proven here, depending on the level of uniformity in the notion of M[1]. This is kind of important below when we prove lower bounds. For the strongest results, we will be assuming the nonuniform version that M[1]∉ nonuniform FPT.
 
4
This neat proof is an unpublished one due to Yijia Chen.
 
5
To distinguish this from k-Hitting Set.
 
6
Here definitely note that if we do not assume more than the existence of an algorithm, then f may not be computable, and hence we will need the nonuniform version of ETH.
 
7
According to [361], this can be done in O(n 3) steps (the result in [361] is an improvement of the algorithm of Seymour and Thomas in [615]).
 
8
Formally, the contraction relation occurs if in the definition of the minor relation we additionally demand that
(c)
for every {x,y}∈E(G), either φ(x)=φ(y) or {φ(x),φ(y)}∈E(H).
