Decomposition and tractability in qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning

Constraint networks in qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning (QSTR) typically feature variables defined on infinite domains. Mainstream algorithms for deciding network consistency are based on searching for network refinements whose consistency is kno ...

Triangle-Free Geometric Intersection Graphs with Large Chromatic Number

Bartosz Maria Walczak, Michal Lason

Several classical constructions illustrate the fact that the chromatic number of a graph may be arbitrarily large compared to its clique number. However, until very recently no such construction was known for intersection graphs of geometric objects in the ...

We deal with some generalizations of the graph coloring problem on classes of perfect graphs. Namely we consider the μ-coloring problem (upper bounds for the color on each vertex), the precoloring extension problem (a subset of vertices colored beforehand) ...

Let r and w be a fixed positive numbers, w < r. In a bold drawing of a graph, every vertex is represented by a disk of radius r, and every edge by a narrow rectangle of width w. We solve a problem of van Kreveld [K09] by showing that every graph admits a b ...

Given integers j and k and a graph G, we consider partitions of the vertex set of G into j + k parts where j of these parts induce empty graphs and the remaining k induce cliques. If such a partition exists, we say G is a (j, k)-graph. For a fixed j and k ...

Polar graphs are a natural extension of some classes of graphs like bipartite graphs, split graphs and complements of bipartite graphs. A graph is (s, k)-polar if there exists a partition A, B of its vertex set such that A induces a complete s-partite grap ...

An introduction to treewidth

Bernard Ries, Daniela Bronner

The notion of treewidth has seen to be a powerful vehicle for many graph algorithmic studies. A lot of problems, which are in general

Generalized vertex coloring problems using split graphs

Tinaz Ekim

Graph theory experienced a remarkable increase of interest among the scientific community during the last decades. The vertex coloring problem (Min Coloring) deserves a particular attention rince it has been able to capture a wide variety of applications. ...

On the stable set polytope of claw-free graphs

Gautier Stauffer

In this thesis we focus our attention on the stable set polytope of claw-free graphs. This problem has been open for many years and albeit all the efforts engaged during those last three years, it is still open. This does not mean that no progress has been ...
