Abstract

Potential maximal cliques and minimal separators are combinatorial objects which were introduced and studied in the realm of minimal triangulation problems including Minimum Fill-in and Treewidth. We discover unexpected applications of these notions to the field of moderate exponential algorithms. In particular, we show that given an n-vertex graph G together with its set of potential maximal cliques, and an integer t, it is possible in time the number of potential maximal cliques times $O(n^{O(t)})$ to find a maximum induced subgraph of treewidth t in G and for a given graph F of treewidth t, to decide if G contains an induced subgraph isomorphic to F.
Combined with an improved algorithm enumerating all potential maximal cliques in time $O(1.734601^n)$, this yields that both the problems are solvable in time $1.734601^n$ * $n^{O(t)}$.
