我们制定了一个新的硬度假设,强种植集团假设(SPCH),它假设任何种植集团的算法必须在时间$n^{\Omega(\log{n})}$内运行(因此最先进的运行时间$n^{O(\log n)}$是最佳的,直到指数为常数)。 我们提供了两套新假设的应用。首先,我们表明,SPCH意味着(近)紧不可逼近的结果,以下研究问题的参数$k$:Denmark $k$-子图,最小的$k$-边子图,Denmark $k$-子超图,Steiner $k$-森林,和有向Steiner网络与$k$终端对。例如,我们表明,在SPCH下,没有多项式时间算法实现$o(k)$-近似Denise $k$-子图。该不可近似性比改进了来自(Chalermsook等人,FOCS 2017)。此外,我们的下界甚至对固定参数易处理的算法与参数$k$。 我们的第二个应用程序集中在复杂的图形模式检测。对于诱导和非诱导图形模式检测,我们证明了SPCH下的硬度结果,这改善了由(Dalirrooyfard等人,STOC 2019)下的指数时间假设。
We formulate a new hardness assumption, the Strongish Planted Clique Hypothesis (SPCH), which postulates that any algorithm for planted clique must run in time $n^{\Omega(\log{n})}$ (so that the state-of-the-art running time of $n^{O(\log n)}$ is optimal up to a constant in the exponent). We provide two sets of applications of the new hypothesis. First, we show that SPCH implies (nearly) tight inapproximability results for the following well-studied problems in terms of the parameter $k$: Densest $k$-Subgraph, Smallest $k$-Edge Subgraph, Densest $k$-Subhypergraph, Steiner $k$-Forest, and Directed Steiner Network with $k$ terminal pairs. For example, we show, under SPCH, that no polynomial time algorithm achieves $o(k)$-approximation for Densest $k$-Subgraph. This inapproximability ratio improves upon the previous best $k^{o(1)}$ factor from (Chalermsook et al., FOCS 2017). Furthermore, our lower bounds hold even against fixed-parameter tractable algorithms with parameter $k$. Our second application focuses on the complexity of graph pattern detection. For both induced and non-induced graph pattern detection, we prove hardness results under SPCH, which improves the running time lower bounds obtained by (Dalirrooyfard et al., STOC 2019) under the Exponential Time Hypothesis.
