We study the question of finding a set of at most k edges, whose removal makes the input n-vertex graph a disjoint union of s-clubs (graphs of diameter s). Komusiewicz and Uhlmann [DAM 2012] showed that Cluster Edge Deletion (i.e., for the case of 1-clubs (cliques)), cannot be solved in time unless the Exponential Time Hypothesis (ETH) fails. But, Fomin et al. [JCSS 2014] showed that if the number of cliques in the output graph is restricted to d, then the problem (d-Cluster Edge Deletion) can be solved in time . We show that assuming ETH, there is no algorithm solving 2-Club Cluster Edge Deletion in time . Further, we show that the same lower bound holds in the case of s-Club d-Cluster Edge Deletion for any and .

次指数算法d -cluster边缘缺失:异常或规则?
我们研究了寻找一组最多k个边的问题,这些边的去除使输入的n-顶点图成为s -clubs(直径为s的图)的不相交的并集。Komusiewicz和Uhlmann [DAM 2012]表明,群集边缘删除(例如,对于1俱乐部(clique)的情况)无法及时解决。除非指数时间假设(ETH)失败。但是,Fomin等。[JCSS 2014]表明,如果将输出图中的集团数量限制为d,则可以及时解决问题(d -Cluster Edge Deletion)。我们发现,假设ETH,没有算法求解2 -Club集群优势删除的时间。此外,我们表明,下界在相同的情况下,持有小号-Club d -cluster边缘清除任何 和 。
