| Abstract | We present fast and simple algebraic algorithms for the linear matroid parity problem and its applications. For the linear matroid parity problem, we obtain a simple randomized algorithm with running time $O(mr^{ω™1})$ where m and r are the number of columns and the number of rows and ω ≈ 2.376 is the matrix multiplication exponent. This improves the $O(mr^{ω})-time$ algorithm by Gabow and Stallmann, and matches the running time of the algebraic algorithm for linear matroid intersection, answering a question of Harvey. We also present a very simple alternative algorithm with running time $O(mr^{2})$ which does not need fast matrix multiplication. We further improve the algebraic algorithms for some specific graph problems of interest. For the Mader's disjoint S-path problem, we present an $O(n^{ω})-time$ randomized algorithm where n is the number of vertices. This improves the running time of the existing results considerably, and matches the running time of the algebraic algorithms for graph matching. For the graphic matroid parity problem, we give an $O(n^{4})-time$ randomized algorithm where n is the number of vertices, and an $O(n^{3})-time$ randomized algorithm for a special case useful in designing approximation algorithms. These algorithms are optimal in terms of n as the input size could be $Ω(n^{4})$ and $Ω(n^{3})$ respectively. The techniques are based on the algebraic algorithmic framework developed by Mucha and Sankowski, Harvey, and Sankowski. While linear matroid parity and Mader's disjoint S-path are challenging generalizations for the design of combinatorial algorithms, our results show that both the algebraic algorithms for linear matroid intersection and graph matching can be extended nicely to more general settings. All algorithms are still faster than the existing algorithms even if fast matrix multiplication is not used. These provide simple algorithms that can be easily implemented in practice. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
