Optimal dynamic program for \(r\)-domination problems over tree decompositions



Abstract: There has been recent progress in showing that the exponential dependence on treewidth in dynamic programming algorithms for solving NP-hard problems are optimal under the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis (SETH). We extend this work to r-domination problems. In r-dominating set, one wished to find a minimum subset S of vertices such that every vertex of G is within r hops of some vertex in S. In connected r-dominating set, one additionally requires that the set induces a connected subgraph of G. We give a O((2r+1)mathrmtwn) time algorithm for r-dominating set and a O((2r+2)mathrmtwnO(1)) time algorithm for connected r-dominating set in n-vertex graphs of treewidth mathrmtw. We show that the running time dependence on r and mathrmtw is the best possible under SETH. This adds to earlier observations that a "+1" in the denominator is required for connectivity constraints.
