Sparse domination via the helicoidal method
Using exclusively the localized estimates upon which the helicoidal method
was built, we show how sparse estimates can also be obtained. This approach
yields a sparse domination for multiple vector-valued extensions of operators
as well. We illustrate these ideas for an -linear Fourier multiplier whose
symbol is singular along a -dimensional subspace of , where , and for the
variational Carleson operator.Comment: 60 page
More Applications of the d-Neighbor Equivalence: Connectivity and Acyclicity Constraints
In this paper, we design a framework to obtain efficient algorithms for several problems with a global constraint (acyclicity or connectivity) such as Connected Dominating Set, Node Weighted Steiner Tree, Maximum Induced Tree, Longest Induced Path, and Feedback Vertex Set. For all these problems, we obtain 2^O(k)* n^O(1), 2^O(k log(k))* n^O(1), 2^O(k^2) * n^O(1) and n^O(k) time algorithms parameterized respectively by clique-width, Q-rank-width, rank-width and maximum induced matching width. Our approach simplifies and unifies the known algorithms for each of the parameters and match asymptotically also the running time of the best algorithms for basic NP-hard problems such as Vertex Cover and Dominating Set. Our framework is based on the d-neighbor equivalence defined in [Bui-Xuan, Telle and Vatshelle, TCS 2013]. The results we obtain highlight the importance and the generalizing power of this equivalence relation on width measures. We also prove that this equivalence relation could be useful for Max Cut: a W[1]-hard problem parameterized by clique-width. For this latter problem, we obtain n^O(k), n^O(k) and n^(2^O(k)) time algorithm parameterized by clique-width, Q-rank-width and rank-width
Approximation Algorithms for the Capacitated Domination Problem
We consider the {\em Capacitated Domination} problem, which models a
service-requirement assignment scenario and is also a generalization of the
well-known {\em Dominating Set} problem. In this problem, given a graph with
three parameters defined on each vertex, namely cost, capacity, and demand, we
want to find an assignment of demands to vertices of least cost such that the
demand of each vertex is satisfied subject to the capacity constraint of each
vertex providing the service. In terms of polynomial time approximations, we
present logarithmic approximation algorithms with respect to different demand
assignment models for this problem on general graphs, which also establishes
the corresponding approximation results to the well-known approximations of the
traditional {\em Dominating Set} problem. Together with our previous work, this
closes the problem of generally approximating the optimal solution. On the
other hand, from the perspective of parameterization, we prove that this
problem is {\it W[1]}-hard when parameterized by a structure of the graph
called treewidth. Based on this hardness result, we present exact
fixed-parameter tractable algorithms when parameterized by treewidth and
maximum capacity of the vertices. This algorithm is further extended to obtain
pseudo-polynomial time approximation schemes for planar graphs
Distributed Connectivity Decomposition
We present time-efficient distributed algorithms for decomposing graphs with
large edge or vertex connectivity into multiple spanning or dominating trees,
respectively. As their primary applications, these decompositions allow us to
achieve information flow with size close to the connectivity by parallelizing
it along the trees. More specifically, our distributed decomposition algorithms
are as follows:
(I) A decomposition of each undirected graph with vertex-connectivity
into (fractionally) vertex-disjoint weighted dominating trees with total weight
, in rounds.
(II) A decomposition of each undirected graph with edge-connectivity
into (fractionally) edge-disjoint weighted spanning trees with total
weight , in
rounds.
We also show round complexity lower bounds of
and
for the above two decompositions,
using techniques of [Das Sarma et al., STOC'11]. Moreover, our
vertex-connectivity decomposition extends to centralized algorithms and
improves the time complexity of [Censor-Hillel et al., SODA'14] from
to near-optimal .
As corollaries, we also get distributed oblivious routing broadcast with
-competitive edge-congestion and -competitive
vertex-congestion. Furthermore, the vertex connectivity decomposition leads to
near-time-optimal -approximation of vertex connectivity: centralized
and distributed . The former moves
toward the 1974 conjecture of Aho, Hopcroft, and Ullman postulating an
centralized exact algorithm while the latter is the first distributed vertex
connectivity approximation
Quantitative weighted estimates for Rubio de Francia's Littlewood--Paley square function
We consider the Rubio de Francia's Littlewood--Paley square function
associated with an arbitrary family of intervals in with finite
overlapping. Quantitative weighted estimates are obtained for this operator.
The linear dependence on the characteristic of the weight turns
out to be sharp for , whereas the sharpness in the range
remains as an open question. Weighted weak-type estimates in the endpoint
are also provided. The results arise as a consequence of a sparse domination
shown for these operators, obtained by suitably adapting the ideas coming from
Benea (2015) and Culiuc et al. (2016).Comment: 18 pages. Revised versio
