Random walks and forbidden minors III: poly(d epsilon(-1))-time partition oracles for minor-free graph classes

Akash Kumar

Consider the family of bounded degree graphs in any minor-closed family (such as planar graphs). Let d be the degree bound and n be the number of vertices of such a graph. Graphs in these classes have hyperfinite decompositions, where, one removes a small ...

No Small Linear Program Approximates Vertex Cover Within a Factor 2-epsilon

Ola Nils Anders Svensson, Abbas Bazzi

The vertex cover problem is one of the most important and intensively studied combinatorial optimization problems. Khot and Regev [Khot S, Regev O (2008) Vertex cover might be hard to approximate to within 2 - epsilon. J. Comput. System Sci. 74(3): 335-349 ...

Improved Massively Parallel Computation Algorithms for MIS, Matching, and Vertex Cover

Slobodan Mitrovic

We present O(log log n)-round algorithms in the Massively Parallel Computation (MPC) model, with a(n) memory per machine, that compute a maximal independent set, a 1 + epsilon approximation of maximum matching, and a 2 + epsilon approximation of minimum ve ...

Independence number of generalized Petersen graphs

Javad Ebrahimi Boroojeni

Determining the size of a maximum independent set of a graph G, denoted by alpha(G), is an NP-hard problem. Therefore many attempts are made to find upper and lower bounds, or exact values of alpha(G) for special classes of graphs. This paper is aimed towa ...

Saturated simple and k-simple topological graphs

János Pach, Jan Kyncl

A simple topological graph G is a graph drawn in the plane so that any pair of edges have at most one point in common, which is either an endpoint or a proper crossing. G is called saturated if no further edge can be added without violating this condition. ...

d-Transversals of stable sets and vertex covers in weighted bipartite graphs

Dominique de Werra, Bernard Ries

Let G=(V,E)G=(V,E) be a graph in which every vertex v∈Vv∈V has a weight w(v)⩾0w(v)⩾0 and a cost c(v)⩾0c(v)⩾0. Let SGSG be the family of all maximum-weight stable sets in G . For any integer d⩾0d⩾0, a minimum d-transversal in the graph G with respect to SGS ...

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 ...

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 ...

On the computational complexity of periodic scheduling

Thomas Rothvoss

In periodic scheduling jobs arrive regularly and have to be executed on one or several machines or processors. An enormous amount of literature has been published on this topic, e.g. the founding work of Liu & Layland [LL73] is among the top cited computer ...

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 ...
