The problem of graph Reachability is to decide whether there is a path from one vertex to another in a given graph. In this paper, we study the Reachability problem on three distinct graph families - intersection graphs of Jordan regions, unit contact disk graphs (penny graphs), and chordal graphs. For each of these graph families, we present space-efficient algorithms for the Reachability problem. For intersection graphs of Jordan regions, we show how to obtain a good vertex separator in a space-efficient manner and use it to solve the Reachability in polynomial time and $O(m^{1/2}log n)$ space, where $n$ is the number of Jordan regions, and $m$ is the total number of crossings among the regions. We use a similar approach for chordal graphs and obtain a polynomial-time and $O(m^{1/2}log n)$ space algorithm, where $n$ and $m$ are the number of vertices and edges, respectively. However, we use a more involved technique for unit contact disk graphs (penny graphs) and obtain a better algorithm. We show that for every $epsilon> 0$, there exists a polynomial-time algorithm that can solve Reachability in an $n$ vertex directed penny graph, using $O(n^{1/4+epsilon})$ space. We note that the method used to solve penny graphs does not extend naturally to the class of geometric intersection graphs that include arbitrary size cliques.

Let $A$ and $B$ be two point sets in the plane of sizes $r$ and $n$ respectively (assume $r leq n$), and let $k$ be a parameter. A matching between $A$ and $B$ is a family of pairs in $A times B$ so that any point of $A cup B$ appears in at most one pair. Given two positive integers $p$ and $q$, we define the cost of matching $M$ to be $c(M) = sum_{(a, b) in M}|{a-b}|_p^q$ where $|{cdot}|_p$ is the $L_p$-norm. The geometric partial matching problem asks to find the minimum-cost size-$k$ matching between $A$ and $B$. We present efficient algorithms for geometric partial matching problem that work for any powers of $L_p$-norm matching objective: An exact algorithm that runs in $O((n + k^2) {mathop{mathrm{polylog}}} n)$ time, and a $(1 + varepsilon)$-approximation algorithm that runs in $O((n + ksqrt{k}) {mathop{mathrm{polylog}}} n cdot logvarepsilon^{-1})$ time. Both algorithms are based on the primal-dual flow augmentation scheme; the main improvements involve using dynamic data structures to achieve efficient flow augmentations. With similar techniques, we give an exact algorithm for the planar transportation problem running in $O(min{n^2, rn^{3/2}} {mathop{mathrm{polylog}}} n)$ time.
We study a basic algorithmic problem in algebraic geometry, which we call NNL, of constructing a normalizing map as per Noethers Normalization Lemma. For general explicit varieties, as formally defined in this paper, we give a randomized polynomial-time Monte Carlo algorithm for this problem. For some interesting cases of explicit varieties, we give deterministic quasi-polynomial time algorithms. These may be contrasted with the standard EXPSPACE-algorithms for these problems in computational algebraic geometry. In particular, we show that: (1) The categorical quotient for any finite dimensional representation $V$ of $SL_m$, with constant $m$, is explicit in characteristic zero. (2) NNL for this categorical quotient can be solved deterministically in time quasi-polynomial in the dimension of $V$. (3) The categorical quotient of the space of $r$-tuples of $m times m$ matrices by the simultaneous conjugation action of $SL_m$ is explicit in any characteristic. (4) NNL for this categorical quotient can be solved deterministically in time quasi-polynomial in $m$ and $r$ in any characteristic $p$ not in $[2, m/2]$. (5) NNL for every explicit variety in zero or large enough characteristic can be solved deterministically in quasi-polynomial time, assuming the hardness hypothesis for the permanent in geometric complexity theory. The last result leads to a geometric complexity theory approach to put NNL for every explicit variety in P.
Temporal graphs (in which edges are active at specified times) are of particular relevance for spreading processes on graphs, e.g.~the spread of disease or dissemination of information. Motivated by real-world applications, modification of static graphs to control this spread has proven a rich topic for previous research. Here, we introduce a new type of modification for temporal graphs: the number of active times for each edge is fixed, but we can change the relative order in which (sets of) edges are active. We investigate the problem of determining an ordering of edges that minimises the maximum number of vertices reachable from any single starting vertex; epidemiologically, this corresponds to the worst-case number of vertices infected in a single disease outbreak. We study t
We show that for each single crossing graph $H$, a polynomially bounded weight function for all $H$-minor free graphs $G$ can be constructed in Logspace such that it gives nonzero weights to all the cycles in $G$. This class of graphs subsumes almost all classes of graphs for which such a weight function is known to be constructed in Logspace. As a consequence, we obtain that for the class of $H$-minor free graphs where $H$ is a single crossing graph, reachability can be solved in UL, and bipartite maximum matching can be solved in SPL, which are small subclasses of the parallel complexity class NC. In the restrictive case of bipartite graphs, our maximum matching result improves upon the recent result of Eppstein and Vazirani, where they show an NC bound for constructing perfect matching in general single crossing minor free graphs.
De Berg et al. in [SICOMP 2020] gave an algorithmic framework for subexponential algorithms on geometric graphs with tight (up to ETH) running times. This framework is based on dynamic programming on graphs of weighted treewidth resulting in algorithms that use super-polynomial space. We introduce the notion of weighted treedepth and use it to refine the framework of de Berg et al. for obtaining polynomial space (with tight running times) on geometric graphs. As a result, we prove that for any fixed dimension $d ge 2$ on intersection graphs of similarly-sized fat objects many well-known graph problems including Independent Set, $r$-Dominating Set for constant $r$, Cycle Cover, Hamiltonian Cycle, Hamiltonian Path, Steiner Tree, Connected Vertex Cover, Feedback Vertex Set, and (Connected) Odd Cycle Transversal are solvable in time $2^{O(n^{1-1/d})}$ and within polynomial space.
