Quantum algorithm for dynamic programming approach for DAGs and applications

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: In this paper, we present a quantum algorithm for the dynamic programming approach for problems on directed acyclic graphs (DAGs). The running time of the algorithm is O(sqrthatnmloghatn), and the running time of the best known deterministic algorithm is O(n+m), where n is the number of vertices, hatn is the number of vertices with at least one outgoing edge; m is the number of edges. We show that we can solve problems that use OR, AND, NAND, MAX, and MIN functions as the main transition steps. The approach is useful for a couple of problems. One of them is computing a Boolean formula that is represented by Zhegalkin polynomial, a Boolean circuit with shared input and non-constant depth evaluation. Another two are the single source longest paths search for weighted DAGs and the diameter search problem for unweighted DAGs.
