The inverse degree of a graph is the sum of the reciprocals of the degrees of its vertices. We prove that in any connected planar graph, the diameter is at most 5/2 times the inverse degree, and that this ratio is tight. To develop a crucial surgery method ...
Rationalization and construction-aware design dominate the issue of realizability of freeform architecture. The former means the decomposition of an intended shape into parts which are sufficiently simple and efficient to manufacture; the latter refers to ...
The graph coloring problem is one of the most famous problems in graph theory and has a large range of applications. It consists in coloring the vertices of an undirected graph with a given number of colors such that two adjacent vertices get different col ...
We study complexity and approximation of MIN WEIGHTED NODE COLORING in planar, bipartite and split graphs. We show that this problem is NP-hard in planar graphs, even if they are triangle-free and their maximum degree is bounded above by 4. Then, we prove ...
In this paper we study the page number of upward planar directed acyclic graphs. We prove that: (I) the page number of any n-vertex upward planar triangulation G whose every maximal 4-connected component has page number k is at most min {O(k log n), O(2(k) ...
The visibility graph of a finite set of points in the plane has the points as vertices and an edge between two vertices if the line segment between them contains no other points. This paper establishes bounds on the edge- and vertex-connectivity of visibil ...
We define ``random trip", a generic mobility model for independent mobiles that contains as special cases: the random waypoint on convex or non convex domains, random walk with reflection or wrapping, city section, space graph and other models. We use Palm ...
We show that for any concave polygon that has no parallel sides and for any k, there is a k-fold covering of some point set by the translates of this polygon that cannot be decomposed into two coverings. Moreover, we give a complete classification of open ...
We show that for any open convex polygon P, there is a constant k(P) such that any k(P)-fold covering of the plane with translates of P can be decomposed into two coverings. ...
