Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The directed graph reachability problem is a canonical complete problem for class NL. The best known polynomial time algorithm for this problem by Barns et al. uses $O(n/2^{sqrt{log{n}}})$ space. Whether we can make $O(n^eps)$-space and polynomial time algorithm for some $eps < 1$ is a famous open problem. For some restricted graph classes of directed graphs, better results are known. Asano et al. gave an $widetilde{O}(sqrt{n})$ space and polynomial time algorithm for the reachability problem restricted to directed grid and planar graphs. We propose an $widetilde{O}(n^{1/3})$ space and polynomial time algorithm for the reachability problem restricted to directed grid graphs.
