Some results on triangle partitions
We show that there exist efficient algorithms for the triangle packing
problem in colored permutation graphs, complete multipartite graphs,
distance-hereditary graphs, k-modular permutation graphs and complements of
k-partite graphs (when k is fixed). We show that there is an efficient
algorithm for C_4-packing on bipartite permutation graphs and we show that
C_4-packing on bipartite graphs is NP-complete. We characterize the cobipartite
graphs that have a triangle partition
A survey on algorithmic aspects of modular decomposition
The modular decomposition is a technique that applies but is not restricted
to graphs. The notion of module naturally appears in the proofs of many graph
theoretical theorems. Computing the modular decomposition tree is an important
preprocessing step to solve a large number of combinatorial optimization
problems. Since the first polynomial time algorithm in the early 70's, the
algorithmic of the modular decomposition has known an important development.
This paper survey the ideas and techniques that arose from this line of
research
Rainbow domination and related problems on some classes of perfect graphs
Let and let be a graph. A function is a rainbow function if, for every vertex with
, . The rainbow domination number
is the minimum of over all rainbow
functions. We investigate the rainbow domination problem for some classes of
perfect graphs
Letter graphs and geometric grid classes of permutations: characterization and recognition
In this paper, we reveal an intriguing relationship between two seemingly
unrelated notions: letter graphs and geometric grid classes of permutations. An
important property common for both of them is well-quasi-orderability,
implying, in a non-constructive way, a polynomial-time recognition of geometric
grid classes of permutations and -letter graphs for a fixed . However,
constructive algorithms are available only for . In this paper, we present
the first constructive polynomial-time algorithm for the recognition of
-letter graphs. It is based on a structural characterization of graphs in
this class.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1108.6319 by other author
Unit Grid Intersection Graphs: Recognition and Properties
It has been known since 1991 that the problem of recognizing grid
intersection graphs is NP-complete. Here we use a modified argument of the
above result to show that even if we restrict to the class of unit grid
intersection graphs (UGIGs), the recognition remains hard, as well as for all
graph classes contained inbetween. The result holds even when considering only
graphs with arbitrarily large girth. Furthermore, we ask the question of
representing UGIGs on grids of minimal size. We show that the UGIGs that can be
represented in a square of side length 1+epsilon, for a positive epsilon no
greater than 1, are exactly the orthogonal ray graphs, and that there exist
families of trees that need an arbitrarily large grid
Graph Isomorphism and Identification Matrices: Sequential Algorithms
AbstractA number of properties on identification matrices are presented here. For example, we prove that adjacency matrices are identification matrices for all bipartite graphs. We also study the application of the theory of identification matrices to solving the graph isomorphism problem, a famous open problem. We show that, given two graphs represented by two identification matrices with respect to a certain relation, isomorphism can be decided efficiently if at least one matrix satisfies the consecutive 1's property or a relaxed property thereof. Graphs which have identification matrices satisfying the consecutive 1's property include, among others, proper interval graphs and doubly convex bipartite graphs. This work leads to the first efficient isomorphism testing algorithms for certain classes of graphs and more efficient algorithms for some other classes of graphs. The algorithms for some classes of graphs including convex bipartite graphs run in linear time and are optimal
