Title
Subexponential time algorithms for finding small tree and path decompositions
Abstract
The Minimum Size Tree Decomposition (MSTD) and Minimum Size Path Decomposition (MSPD) problems ask for a given n-vertex graph G and integer k, what is the minimum number of bags of a tree decomposition (respectively, path decomposition) of width at most k. The problems are known to be NP-complete for each fixed k >= 4. In this paper we present algorithms that solve both problems for fixed k in 2(O(n/) (log n)) time and show that they cannot be solved in 2(o(n/) (log n)) time, assuming the Exponential Time Hypothesis.
