When can graph hyperbolicity be computed in linear time? (scientific article; zbMATH DE number 6778724)



Abstract: Hyperbolicity measures, in terms of (distance) metrics, how close a given graph is to being a tree. Due to its relevance in modeling real-world networks, hyperbolicity has seen intensive research over the last years. Unfortunately, the best known algorithms for computing the hyperbolicity number of a graph (the smaller, the more tree-like) have running time O(n4), where n is the number of graph vertices. Exploiting the framework of parameterized complexity analysis, we explore possibilities for "linear-time FPT" algorithms to compute hyperbolicity. For instance, we show that hyperbolicity can be computed in time O(2O(k)+n+m) (m being the number of graph edges) while at the same time, unless the SETH fails, there is no 2o(k)n2-time algorithm.
