Kernelization of graph hamiltonicity: Proper H-graphs

Original language description

We obtain new polynomial kernels and compression algorithms for Path Cover and Cycle Cover, the well-known generalizations of the classical Hamiltonian Path and Hamiltonian Cycle problems. Our choice of parameterization is strongly influenced by the work of Biró, Hujter, and Tuza, who in 1992 introduced H-graphs, intersection graphs of connected subgraphs of a subdivision of a fixed (multi) graph H. In this work, we turn to proper H-graphs, where the containment relationship between the representations of the vertices is forbidden. As the treewidth of a graph measures how similar the graph is to a tree, the size of graph H is the parameter measuring the closeness of the graph to a proper interval graph. We prove the following results. Path Cover admits a kernel of size O(formula presented), that is, we design an algorithm that for an n-vertex graph G and an integer k>= 1, in time polynomial in n and (formula presented), outputs a graph G' of size (formula presented) and k'<= | V(G') | such that the vertex set of G is coverable by k vertex-disjoint paths if and only if the vertex set of G' is coverable by k' vertex-disjoint paths.Cycle Cover admits a compression of size (formula presented) into another problem, called Prize Collecting Cycle Cover, that is, we design an algorithm that, in time polynomial in n and (formula presented), outputs an equivalent instance of Prize Collecting Cycle Cover of size (formula presented). In all our algorithms we assume that a proper H-decomposition is given as a part of the input.
