Compressions of multigraphs

Laying out a multigraph of bounded degree reduces to laying out a smaller multigraph, its quotient by a compression. Fix a budget d, at least the maximum degree. Partition the vertices into blocks, each listing its vertices in order, starting from single vertices. Two distinct blocks joined by an edge may be merged when at most d edges leave their union; the merged block lists the longer block first. A Compression records the invariants of this process:

• at most d edges leave a block;
• at most d log₂ |B| edges leave a proper prefix of a block B. A proper prefix of a merged block is a proper prefix of its first part, or all of its first part followed by a proper prefix of its second part, which has at most half as many vertices;
• there are at least as many blocks and edges inside blocks as vertices, since a merge loses one block and moves at least one edge inside.

Each merge loses a block, so merging ends in a saturated compression, to which no merge applies (Compression.exists_saturated).

The quotient of a compression is the multigraph whose vertices are the blocks and whose edges are the edges of the original multigraph between distinct blocks. By the counting invariant its cycle rank is at most that of the original multigraph (Compression.card_add_card_external_le). A layout of the quotient expands to a layout of the original multigraph, block by block and each block in its own order; the frontiers of the expanded layout exceed those of the layout of the quotient by at most d log₂ |V| edges (Compression.exists_width_le).

Main definitions

• Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.Multigraph.Compression: a partition into ordered blocks, with the invariants of merging.
• Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.Multigraph.Compression.Saturated: no merge applies.
• Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.Multigraph.Compression.blockOf, Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.Multigraph.Compression.external: the block of a vertex and the external edges between distinct blocks.
• Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.Multigraph.Compression.quotient: the multigraph on the blocks.

Main results

• Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.Multigraph.Compression.exists_saturated: merging terminates.
• Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.Multigraph.Compression.ncard_edgeCut_preimage: the cut of a union of whole blocks is the cut of the quotient.
• Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.Multigraph.Compression.card_add_card_external_le: the cycle rank of the quotient is at most that of the multigraph.
• Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.Multigraph.Compression.exists_width_le: expanding a layout of the quotient.

• card_le : Nat.card V ≤ self.blocks.card + {e : E | ∃ B ∈ self.blocks, G.src e ∈ B ∧ G.tgt e ∈ B}.ncard

  There are at least as many blocks and edges inside blocks as vertices.

Merging

def Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.Multigraph.Compression.Saturated {V : Type u_1} {E : Type u_2} {G : Multigraph V E} {d : ℕ} (c : G.Compression d) : Prop

A compression is saturated when no merge applies: more than d edges leave the union of any two distinct blocks joined by an edge.

Expansion

theorem Cslib.Circuits.Frontier.Multigraph.Compression.exists_width_le {V : Type u_1} {E : Type u_2} {G : Multigraph V E} {d : ℕ} (c : G.Compression d) [Finite V] [Finite E] (σ : Layout ↥c.blocks) : ∃ (π : Layout V), G.width π ≤ c.quotient.width σ + d * Nat.log 2 (Nat.card V)

Expansion. Lay out the vertices block by block, ordering the blocks by a layout σ of the quotient and each block by its list. Each frontier consists of whole blocks, which are cut by a frontier of σ, and a proper prefix of one more block. So the width exceeds that of σ by at most d log₂ |V|.
