Polynomial-time solvability conjecture for MOTJ and SOC
Polynomial-time solvability conjecture for MOTJ and SOC
Let MOTJ denote the problem of deciding, for an undirected graph with rational edge weights , a set , and , whether there is an odd -join of total weight at most . Let SOC denote the corresponding problem of finding a minimum-weight odd cycle. Polynomial-time solvability conjecture. MOTJ and SOC can be solved in polynomial time. A randomized polynomial-time algorithm places MOTJ in the class , so polynomial-time solvability remains conjectural; the source presents these problems as potentially more tractable than the shortest odd path problem.
