On the forbidden induced subgraph sandwich problem
Weconsider the sandwich problem, a generalization of the recognition problem introduced by Golumbic et al. (1995) [15], with respect to classes of graphs defined by excluding induced subgraphs. We prove that the sandwich problem corresponding to excluding a chordless cycle of fixed length k is NP-complete. We prove that the sandwich problem corresponding to excluding Kr \ e for fixed r is polyn...
متن کاملOn the subgraph epimorphism problem
In this paper we study the problem of deciding the existence of a subgraph epimorphism between two graphs. Our interest in this variant of graph matching problem stems from the study of model reductions in systems biology, where large systems of biochemical reactions can be naturally represented by bipartite digraphs of species and reactions. In this setting, model reduction can be formalized a...
متن کاملAutomated generation of conjectures on forbidden subgraph characterization
Given a class of graphs F , a forbidden subgraph characterization (FSC) is a set of graphs H such that a graph G belongs to F if and only if no graph of H is isomorphic to an induced subgraph of G. FSCs play a key role in graph theory, and are at the center of many important results obtained in that field. In this paper, we present novel methods that automate the generation of conjectures on FS...
متن کاملColoring Graphs Characterized by a Forbidden Subgraph
The Coloring problem is to test whether a given graph can be colored with at most k colors for some given k, such that no two adjacent vertices receive the same color. The complexity of this problem on graphs that do not contain some graph H as an induced subgraph is known for each fixed graph H. A natural variant is to forbid a graph H only as a subgraph. We call such graphs strongly H-free an...
متن کاملOn minimal forbidden subgraph characterizations of balanced graphs
A graph is balanced if its clique-matrix contains no edge-vertex incidence matrix of an odd chordless cycle as a submatrix. While a forbidden induced subgraph characterization of balanced graphs is known, there is no such characterization by minimal forbidden induced subgraphs. In this work, we provide minimal forbidden induced subgraph characterizations of balanced graphs restricted to graphs ...
