Matrix domination is the NP-complete problem of determining whether a given {0,1} matrix contains a set of k non-zero entries that are in the same row or same column as all other non-zero entries. Using a kernelization and search tree approach, we show the problem to be fixed-parameter tractable with running time . 相似文献

Functional dependencies are the most commonly used approach for capturing real-word integrity constraints which are to be reflected in a database. There are, however, many useful kinds of constraints, especially approximate ones, that cannot be represented correctly by functional dependencies and therefore are enforced via programs which update the database, if they are enforced at all. This tends to make such constraints invisible since they are not an explicit part of the database, increasing maintenance problems and the likelihood of inconsistencies. We propose a new approach, cluster dependencies, as a way to enforce approximate dependencies. By treating equality as a fuzzy concept and defining appropriate similarity measures, it is possible to represent a broad range of approximate constraints directly in the database by storing and accessing cluster definitions. We discuss different interpretations of cluster dependencies and describe the additional data structures needed to enforce them. We also contrast them with an existing approach, fuzzy functional dependencies, which are much more limited in the kind of approximate constraints they can represent. 相似文献

A finite axiomatization of functional dependencies on conceptual database schemata is presented which naturally generalizes the well-known Armstrong axioms. The underlying conceptual data model is the Higher-Order Entity-Relationship Model. 相似文献

Maximum Residual Energy Path (MREP) routing has been shown an effective routing scheme for energy conservation in battery powered wireless networks. Past studies on MREP routing are based on the assumption that the transmitting node consumes power, but the receiving node does not. This assumption is false if acknowledgment is required as occurs, for example, in some Bluetooth applications.If the receiving node does not consume power then the MREP routing problem for a single message is easily solvable in polynomial time using a simple Dijkstra-like algorithm. We further show in that when the receiving node does consume power the problem becomes NP-complete and is even impossible to approximate with an exponential approximation factor in polynomial time unless P=NP. 相似文献

Let be a fixed collection of digraphs. Given a digraph H, a -packing of H is a collection of vertex disjoint subgraphs of H, each isomorphic to a member of . For undirected graphs, Loebl and Poljak have completely characterized the complexity of deciding the existence of a perfect -packing, in the case that consists of two graphs one of which is a single edge on two vertices. We characterize -packing where consists of two digraphs one of which is a single arc on two vertices. 相似文献

We study the problem of finding the next-to-shortest paths in a weighted undirected graph. A next-to-shortest (u,v)-path is a shortest (u,v)-path amongst (u,v)-paths with length strictly greater than the length of the shortest (u,v)-path. The first polynomial algorithm for this problem was presented in [I. Krasikov, S.D. Noble, Finding next-to-shortest paths in a graph, Inform. Process. Lett. 92 (2004) 117-119]. We improve the upper bound from O(n3m) to O(n3). 相似文献

We consider the conjectured O(N2+?) time complexity of multiplying any two N×N matrices A and B. Our main result is a deterministic Compressed Sensing (CS) algorithm that both rapidly and accurately computes A⋅B provided that the resulting matrix product is sparse/compressible. As a consequence of our main result we increase the class of matrices A, for any given N×N matrix B, which allows the exact computation of A⋅B to be carried out using the conjectured O(N2+?) operations. Additionally, in the process of developing our matrix multiplication procedure, we present a modified version of Indyk's recently proposed extractor-based CS algorithm [P. Indyk, Explicit constructions for compressed sensing of sparse signals, in: SODA, 2008] which is resilient to noise. 相似文献

Data dependencies are useful to design relational databases. There is a strong connection between dependencies and some fragments of the propositional logic. In particular, functional dependencies are closely related to Horn formulas. Also, multivalued dependencies are characterized in terms of multivalued formulas. It is known that both Horn formulas and sets of functional dependencies are learnable in the exact model of learning with queries. Here we proof that neither multivalued formulas nor multivalued dependencies can be learned using only membership queries or only equivalence queries. 相似文献

We study the problem of finding the next-to-shortest paths in a graph. A next-to-shortest (u,v)-path is a shortest (u,v)-path amongst (u,v)-paths with length strictly greater than the length of the shortest (u,v)-path. In contrast to the situation in directed graphs, where the problem has been shown to be NP-hard, providing edges of length zero are allowed, we prove the somewhat surprising result that there is a polynomial time algorithm for the undirected version of the problem. 相似文献

In a recent paper Chekuri and Khanna improved the analysis of the greedy algorithm for the edge disjoint paths problem and proved the same bounds also for the related uniform capacity unsplittable flow problem. Here we show that their ideas can be used to get the same approximation ratio even for the more general Unsplittable Flow Problem with nonuniform edge capacities. 相似文献

Let σ′(n) denote the number of all strongly connected graphs on the n-element set. We prove that σ′(n)?2n2·(1−n(n−1)/2n−1). Hence the algorithm computing a transitive closure by a reduction to acyclic graphs has the expected time O(n2), under the assumption of uniform distribution of input graphs. Furthermore, we present a new algorithm constructing the transitive closure of an acyclic graph. 相似文献

Let G be a graph, x,y∈V(G), and ?:V(G)→[k] a k-colouring of G such that ?(x)=?(y). If then the following question is NP-complete: Does there exist a k-colouring ?′ of G such that ?′(x)≠?′(y)? Conversely, if then the problem is polynomial time. 相似文献

Modern applications increasingly require the storage of data beyond relational structure. The challenge of providing well-founded data models that can handle complex objects such as lists, sets, multisets, unions and references has not been met yet in a completely satisfactory way. The success of such data models will greatly depend on the existence of automated database design techniques that generalise achievements from relational databases. In this paper, we study the implication problem of functional dependencies (FDs) in the presence of records, sets, multisets and lists. Database schemata are defined as nested attributes, database instances as nested relations and FDs are defined in terms of subattributes of the database schema. The expressiveness of FDs deviates fundamentally from previous approaches in different data models including the nested relational data model and XML. 相似文献

Given an unknown tournament over {1,…,n}, we show that the query complexity of the question “Is there a vertex with outdegree n−1?” (known as a Condorcet winner in social choice theory) is exactly 2n−⌊log(n)⌋−2. This stands in stark contrast to the evasiveness of this property in general digraphs. 相似文献

This paper discusses the complexity of packingk-chains (simple paths of lengthk) into an undirected graph; the chains packed must be either vertex-disjoint or edge-disjoint. Linear-time algorithms are given for both problems when the graph is a tree, and for the edge-disjoint packing problem when the graph is general andk = 2. The vertex-disjoint packing problem for general graphs is shown to be NP-complete even when the graph has maximum degree three andk = 2. Similarly the edge-disjoint packing problem is NP-complete even when the graph has maximum degree four andk = 3.This is a revised version of the technical report [15]. 相似文献
