The shortest even cycle problem is tractable

A Björklund, T Husfeldt, P Kaski - Proceedings of the 54th Annual ACM …, 2022 - dl.acm.org
Given a directed graph as input, we show how to efficiently find a shortest (directed, simple)
cycle on an even number of vertices. As far as we know, no polynomial-time algorithm was …

Formal theories for linear algebra

SA Cook, LA Fontes - Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2012 - lmcs.episciences.org
We introduce two-sorted theories in the style of [CN10] for the complexity classes\oplusL and
DET, whose complete problems include determinants over Z2 and Z, respectively. We then …

Parallel polynomial permanent mod powers of 2 and shortest disjoint cycles

S Datta, K Jaiswal - arXiv preprint arXiv:2106.00714, 2021 - arxiv.org
We present a parallel algorithm for permanent mod 2^ k of a matrix of univariate integer
polynomials. It places the problem in ParityL subset of NC^ 2. This extends the techniques of …

[PDF][PDF] Static and Dynamic Complexity of Reachability, Matching and Related Problems

A Mukherjee - 2019 - researchgate.net
Reachability and Matching are two fundamental graph-theoretic problems that are of prime
interest in Algorithms and Complexity Theory. Over the decades, these two problems have …

Space complexity of optimization problems in planar graphs

S Datta, R Kulkarni - International Conference on Theory and Applications …, 2014 - Springer
We initiate the study of space complexity of certain optimization problems restricted to planar
graphs. We provide upper bounds and hardness results in space complexity for some of …

Tree-width and logspace: Determinants and counting Euler tours

N Balaji, S Datta - arXiv preprint arXiv:1312.7468, 2013 - arxiv.org
Motivated by the recent result of [EJT10] showing that MSO properties are Logspace
computable on graphs of bounded tree-width, we consider the complexity of computing the …

[PDF][PDF] Paths, Cycles and Permanent: A bridge between Combinatorics and Algebra

K Jaiswal - 2021 - kishlaya.github.io
In this report, we survey papers on disjoint paths and cycles, which include Björklund and
Husfeldt's algorithm for finding shortest 2-disjoint paths in undirected graphs [BH19] and …

The purpose of this article is to survey several useful properties of planar graphs that can be
exploited specifically in the context of space bounded computation to obtain efficient …

[PDF][PDF] Checking equality of matroid linear representations and the cycle matching problem

TC Vijayaraghavan - Electron. Colloq. Comput. Complex, 2009 - eccc.weizmann.ac.il
Given linear representations M1 and M2 of matroids over a field F, we consider the problem
(denoted by ECLR [F]) of checking if M1 and M2 represent the same matroid over F. When …
