An implementation of such a scheme is positive-instance driven (PID), if it generates positive subproblem instances, but not negative ones, building each on smaller positive instances. We take the dynamic programming scheme due to Bouchitté and Todinca for treewidth computation, which is based on minimal separators and potential maximal cliques, and design a variant (for the decision version of the problem) with a natural PID implementation. The resulting algorithm performs extremely well: it solves a number of standard benchmark instances for which the optimal solutions have not previously been known. Incorporating a new heuristic algorithm for detecting safe separators, it also solves all of the 100 public instances posed by the exact treewidth track in PACE 2017, a competition on algorithm implementation. We describe the algorithm, prove its correctness, and give a running time bound in terms of the number of positive subproblem instances. We perform an experimental analysis which supports the practical importance of such a bound.

In this paper, we first show that both problems are strongly NP-hard for planar graphs even if all edge-weights are identical, and that both problems can be solved in polynomial time for cycles. We then consider the problems restricted to cacti, which form a graph class that contains trees and cycles but is a subclass of planar graphs. Then, min-sum orientation is solvable in polynomial time, whereas min-max orientation remains NP-hard even for two st-pairs. However, based on LP-relaxation, we present a polynomial-time 2-approximation algorithm for min-max orientation. Finally, we give a fully polynomial-time approximation scheme (FPTAS) for min-max orientation on cacti if the number of st-pairs is a fixed constant.

This notion generalizes that of semicomplete digraphs which are 0-semicomplete and tournaments which are semicomplete and have no anti-parallel pairs of edges. Our results in this paper are as follows. (1) We give an algorithm which, given an h-semicomplete digraph G on n vertices and a positive integer k, in (h + 2k + 1) 2k n O(1) time either constructs a path-decomposition of G of width at most k or concludes correctly that the pathwidth of G is larger than k. (2) We show that there is a function f (k, h) such that every h-semicomplete digraph of pathwidth at least f (k, h) has a semicomplete subgraph of pathwidth at least k. One consequence of these results is that the problem of deciding if a fixed digraph H is topologically contained in a given h-semicomplete digraph G admits a polynomial-time algorithm for fixed h.
