Density Matters: A Complexity Dichotomy of Deleting Edges...

We study $τ$-Bounded-Density Edge Deletion ($τ$-BDED), where given an undirected graph $G$, the task is to remove as few edges as possible to obtain a graph $G'$ where no subgraph of $G'$ has density more than $τ$. The density of a (sub)graph is the number of edges divided by the number of vertices. This problem was recently introduced and shown to be NP-hard for $τ\in \{2/3, 3/4, 1 + 1/25\}$, but polynomial-time solvable for $τ\in \{0,1/2,1\}$ [Bazgan et al., JCSS 2025]. We provide a complete dichotomy with respect to the target density $τ$: 1. If $2τ\in \mathbb{N}$ (half-integral target density) or $τ< 2/3$, then $τ$-BDED is polynomial-time solvable. 2. Otherwise, $τ$-BDED is NP-hard. We complement the NP-hardness with fixed-parameter tractability with respect to the treewidth of $G$. Moreover, for integral target density $τ\in \mathbb{N}$, we show $τ$-BDED to be solvable in randomized $O(m^{1 + o(1)})$ time. Our algorithmic results are based on a reduction to a new general flow problem on restricted networks that, depending on $τ$, can be solved via Maximum s-t-Flow or General Factors. We believe this connection between these variants of flow and matching to be of independent interest.
