Description:
Quantum graphs, as defined by Lovász in the late 60s, are formal linear combinations of simple graphs with finite support. They allow for the complexity analysis of the problem of computing finite linear combinations of homomorphism counts, the latter of which constitute the foundation of the structural hardness theory for parameterized counting problems: The framework of parameterized counting complexity was introduced by Flum and Grohe, and McCartin in 2002 and forms a hybrid between the classical field of computational counting as founded by Valiant in the late 70s and the paradigm of parameterized complexity theory due to Downey and Fellows which originated in the early 90s. The problem of computing homomorphism numbers of quantum graphs subsumes general motif counting problems and the complexity theoretic implications have only turned out recently in a breakthrough regarding the parameterized subgraph counting problem by Curticapean, Dell and Marx in 2017. We study the problems of counting partially injective and edge-injective homomorphisms, counting induced subgraphs, as well as counting answers to existential first-order queries. We establish novel combinatorial, algebraic and even topological properties of quantum graphs that allow us to provide exhaustive parameterized and exact complexity classifications, including necessary, sufficient and mostly explicit tractability criteria, for all of the previous problems. ; Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Komplexit atsanalyse von mathematischen Problemen die als Linearkombinationen von Graphhomomorphismenzahlen darstellbar sind. Dazu wird sich sogenannter Quantengraphen bedient, bei denen es sich um formale Linearkombinationen von Graphen handelt und welche von Lov asz Ende der 60er eingef uhrt wurden. Die Bestimmung der Komplexit at solcher Probleme erfolgt unter dem von Flum, Grohe und McCartin im Jahre 2002 vorgestellten Paradigma der parametrisierten Z ahlkomplexit atstheorie, die als Hybrid der von Valiant Ende der 70er begr undeten klassischen Z ...
