Abstract
Recently it was shown that many classic graph problems—Independent Set, Dominating Set, Hamiltonian Cycle, and more—can be solved in subexponential time on unit-ball graphs. More precisely, these problems can be solved in 2O(n1−1/d) time on unit-ball graphs in Rd , which is tight under ETH. The result can be generalized to intersection graphs of similarly-sized fat objects.
For Independent Set the same running time can be achieved for non-similarly-sized fat objects, and for the weighted version of the problem. We show that such generalizations most likely are not possible for Dominating Set: assuming ETH, we prove that
there is no algorithm with running time 2o(n) for Dominating Set on (non-unit) ball graphs in R3 ;
there is no algorithm with running time 2o(n) for Weighted Dominating Set on unit-ball graphs in R3 ;
there is no algorithm with running time 2o(n) for Dominating Set, Connected Dominating Set, or Steiner Tree on intersections graphs of arbitrary convex (but non-constant-complexity) objects in the plane.
