The induced-subgraph counting hardness conjecture
The induced-subgraph counting hardness conjecture
Let be a computable graph property. For a graph and positive integer , let denote the problem of counting the -vertex subsets of that induce a graph satisfying , parameterized by . Suppose that there are infinitely many positive integers such that is neither true nor false on all graphs with vertices.
Induced-subgraph counting hardness conjecture. Then is -hard.
This conjecture proposes an explicit criterion for the -hardness of induced-subgraph counting problems. The known dichotomy gives that every such problem is either fixed-parameter tractable or -hard, while the conjecture aims to characterize the hard cases; its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
