An extension of the basic image reconstruction problem in discrete tomography is considered: given a graph G=(V,E) and a family P of chains Pi together with vectors h(Pi)=(hi1,...,hik), one wants to find a partition $V^{1},. ...
Graph theory is an important topic in discrete mathematics. It is particularly interesting because it has a wide range of applications. Among the main problems in graph theory, we shall mention the following ones: graph coloring and the Hamiltonian circuit ...
We present a novel approach to 3D delineation of dendritic networks in noisy image stacks. We achieve a level of automation beyond that of state-of-the-art systems, which model dendrites as continuous tubular structures and postulate simple appearance mode ...
Let G = (V, E) be a graph with vertex set V and edge set E. The k-coloring problem is to assign a color (a number chosen in {1, ..., k}) to each vertex of G so that no edge has both endpoints with the same color. We propose a new local search methodology, ...
In this note we consider two coloring problems in mixed graphs, i.e., graphs containing edges and arcs. We show that they are both NP-complete in cubic planar bipartite graphs. This answers an open question from \cite{Ries2}. ...
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 ...
In message-passing parallel applications, messages are not delivered in a strict order. The number of messages, their content and their destination may depend on the ordering of their delivery. Nevertheless, for most applications, the computation results s ...
Most of the recent heuristics for the graph coloring problem start from an infeasible k-coloring (adjacent vertices may have the same color) and try to make the solution feasible through a sequence of color exchanges. In contrast, our approach (called FOO- ...
We are interested in coloring the vertices of a mixed graph, i.e., a graph containing edges and arcs. We consider two different coloring problems: in the first one we want adjacent vertices to have different colors and the tail of an arc to get a color str ...
We propose a novel method for constructing wavelet transforms of functions defined on the vertices of an arbitrary finite graph. We define a notion of scaling using the graph analogue of the Fourier domain, namely the space of eigenfunctions forming the sp ...
