Approximation Algorithms for Min-Distance Problems in DAGs
Mina Dalirrooyfard, Jenny Kaufmann · 2021-06-04 · via cs.DS updates on arXiv.org

The min-distance between two nodes $u, v$ is defined as the minimum of the distance from $v$ to $u$ or from $u$ to $v$, and is a natural distance metric in DAGs. As with the standard distance problems, the Strong Exponential Time Hypothesis [Impagliazzo-Paturi-Zane 2001, Calabro-Impagliazzo-Paturi 2009] leaves little hope for computing min-distance problems faster than computing All Pairs Shortest Paths, which can be solved in $\tilde{O}(mn)$ time. So it is natural to resort to approximation algorithms in $\tilde{O}(mn^{1-ε})$ time for some positive $ε$. Abboud, Vassilevska W., and Wang [SODA 2016] first studied min-distance problems achieving constant factor approximation algorithms on DAGs, obtaining a $3$-approximation algorithm for min-radius on DAGs which works in $\tilde{O}(m\sqrt{n})$ time, and showing that any $(2-δ)$-approximation requires $n^{2-o(1)}$ time for any $δ>0$, under the Hitting Set Conjecture. We close the gap, obtaining a $2$-approximation algorithm which runs in $\tilde{O}(m\sqrt{n})$ time. As the lower bound of Abboud et al only works for sparse DAGs, we further show that our algorithm is conditionally tight for dense DAGs using a reduction from Boolean matrix multiplication. Moreover, Abboud et al obtained a linear time $2$-approximation algorithm for min-diameter along with a lower bound stating that any $(3/2-δ)$-approximation algorithm for sparse DAGs requires $n^{2-o(1)}$ time under SETH. We close this gap for dense DAGs by obtaining a near-$3/2$-approximation algorithm which works in $O(n^{2.350})$ time and showing that the approximation factor is unlikely to be improved within $O(n^{ω- o(1)})$ time under the high dimensional Orthogonal Vectors Conjecture, where $ω$ is the matrix multiplication exponent.
