A subexponential parameterized algorithm for proper interval completion

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In the Proper Interval Completion problem we are given a graph G and an integer k, and the task is to turn G using at most k edge additions into a proper interval graph, i.e., a graph admitting an intersection model of equal-length intervals on a line. The study of Proper Interval Completion from the viewpoint of parameterized complexity has been initiated by Kaplan, Shamir and Tarjan [FOCS 1994; SIAM J. Comput. 1999], who showed an algorithm for the problem working in O(16k(n+m)) time. In this paper we present an algorithm with running time kO(k2/3)+O(nm(kn+m)), which is the first subexponential parameterized algorithm for Proper Interval Completion.
