Graph coloring with cardinality constraints on the neighborhoods

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries

Extensions and variations of the basic problem of graph coloring are introduced. The problem consists essentially in finding in a graph G a k-coloring, i.e., a partition V-1,...,V-k of the vertex set of G such that, for some specified neighborhood (N) over ...

On the inapproximability of independent domination in 2P3-free perfect graphs

Dominique de Werra

We consider the complexity of approximation for the INDEPENDENT DOMINATING SET problem in 2P(3)-free graphs, i.e., graphs that do not contain two disjoint copies of the chordless path on three vertices as all induced subgraph. We show that, if P not equal ...

Partitioning graphs into complete and empty graphs

Tinaz Ekim

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 ...

Coloring Fuzzy Circular Interval Graphs

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Martin Niemeier

Computing the weighted coloring number of graphs is a classical topic in combinatorics and graph theory. Recently these problems have again attracted a lot of attention for the class of quasi-line graphs and more specifically fuzzy circular interval graphs ...

Characterizing Path Graphs by Forbidden Induced Subgraphs

A path graph is the intersection graph of subpaths of a tree. In 1970, Renz asked for a characterization of path graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs. We answer this question by determining the complete list of graphs that are not path graphs and are mini ...

Weighted coloring on planar, bipartite and split graphs: Complexity and approximation

Dominique de Werra

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 ...

Optimistic chordal coloring: a coalescing heuristic for SSA form programs

Paolo Ienne, Philip Brisk, Ajay Kumar Verma

The interference graph for a procedure in Static Single Assignment (SSA) Form is chordal. Since the k-colorability problem can be solved in polynomial-time for chordal graphs, this result has generated interest in SSA-based heuristics for spilling and coal ...

Some coloring and walking problems in graphs

Benjamin Leroy-Beaulieu

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 ...

Polar cographs

Dominique de Werra, Tinaz Ekim

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 ...

The stable set polytope of quasi-line graphs

Friedrich Eisenbrand, Gautier Stauffer

It is a long standing open problem to find an explicit description of the stable set polytope of claw-free graphs. Yet more than 20 years after the discovery of a polynomial algorithm for the maximum stable set problem for claw-free graphs, there is even n ...
