Disjoint paths and connected subgraphs for H-free graphs

چکیده

The well-known Disjoint Paths problem is to decide if a graph contains k pairwise disjoint paths, each connecting different terminal pair from set of distinct vertex pairs. We determine, with an exception two cases, the complexity for H -free graphs. If fixed, we obtain -Disjoint problem, which known be polynomial-time solvable on class all graphs every ? 1 . latter does no longer hold need connect vertices sets instead completely classify Connected Subgraphs graphs, and give same almost-complete classification as Moreover, exact algorithms n m edges that have running times O ( 2 ) 3 , respectively.

Edge Disjoint Paths in Moderately Connected Graphs

We study the Edge Disjoint Paths (EDP) problem in undirected graphs: Given a graph G with n nodes and a set T of pairs of terminals, connect as many terminal pairs as possible using paths that are mutually edge disjoint. This leads to a variety of classic NP-complete problems, for which approximability is not well understood. We show a polylogarithmic approximation algorithm for the undirected ...

Algorithm for two disjoint long paths in 2-connected graphs

Denote by σ̄k = min {d(x1)+d(x2)+ · · ·+d(xk)−|N(x1)∩N(x2)∩· · ·∩N(xk)| | x1, x2, · · · , xk are k independent vertices in G}. Let n and m denote the number of vertices and edges of G. For any connected graph G, we give a polynomial algorithm in O(nm) time to either find two disjoint paths P1 and P2 such that |P1|+ |P2| ≥ min{σ̄4, n} or output G = ∪i=1Gi such that for any i, j ∈ {1, 2, ..., k} (k...

Induced Disjoint Paths in Claw-Free Graphs

Paths P1, . . . , Pk in a graph G = (V,E) are said to be mutually induced if for any 1 ≤ i < j ≤ k, Pi and Pj have neither common vertices nor adjacent vertices (except perhaps their end-vertices). The Induced Disjoint Paths problem is to test whether a graph G with k pairs of specified vertices (si, ti) contains k mutually induced paths Pi such that Pi connects si and ti for i = 1, . . . , k. ...

Connecting Terminals and 2-Disjoint Connected Subgraphs

Given a graph G = (V,E) and a set of terminal vertices T we say that a superset S of T is T -connecting if S induces a connected graph, and S is minimal if no strict subset of S is T -connecting. In this paper we prove that there are at most (|V \T | |T |−2 ) · 3 |V \T | 3 minimal T -connecting sets when |T | ≤ n/3 and that these can be enumerated within a polynomial factor of this bound. This ...

Forbidden Subgraphs for Hamiltonicity of 3-Connected Claw-Free Graphs

In this paper, we consider forbidden subgraphs for hamiltonicity of 3-connected claw-free graphs. Let Zi be the graph obtaind from a triangle by attaching a path of length i to one of its vertices, and let Q∗ be the graph obtained from the Petersen graph by adding one pendant edge to each vertex. Lai et al. [J. Graph Theory 64 (2010), no. 1, 1-11] conjectured that every 3-connected {K1,3, Z9}-f...
