Comparing Imperfection Ratio and Imperfection Index for Graph Classes
Perfect graphs constitute a well-studied graph class with a rich structure, reflected by many characterizations with respect to different concepts. Perfect graphs are, for instance, precisely those graphs G where the stable set polytope STAB(G) coincides with the fractional stable set polytope QSTAB(G). For all imperfect graphs G it holds that STAB(G) ⊂ QSTAB(G). It is, therefore, natural to us...
متن کاملUnderstanding Imperfection
Because of their inherent abstraction, systems ideas are not themselves sufficient for gaining scientific knowledge or solving practical problems, but they can be a source of insights into the universality of imperfection, insights which can contribute to a new scientific world view. Systems theory offers a metaphysics, or more precisely an ontology, of imperfection. Through it, we can heed Spi...
متن کاملGraph Imperfection
We are interested in colouring a graph G=(V, E) together with an integral weight or demand vector x=(xv : v # V) in such a way that xv colours are assigned to each node v, adjacent nodes are coloured with disjoint sets of colours, and we use as few colours as possible. Such problems arise in the design of cellular communication systems, when radio channels must be assigned to transmitters to sa...
متن کاملAmbient Utopia
This chapter presents an analysis of the ambitions that lie behind the concept of Ambient Intelligence as it is presented by the advocates and researchers working in the field. In particular it looks at the ideas regarding the forms of natural and intuitive forms of interaction that are envisaged including agents and robots from a philosophical perspective. The views on interaction are analysed...
متن کاملGraph imperfection and channel assignment
Given a graph G and a non-negative integer weight or demand xv for each node v, a colouring of the pair (G, x) is an assignment to each node v of a set of xv colours such that adjacent nodes receive disjoint sets of colours. We are interested in such colourings when the maximum demand xv is large. An application where such colouring problems arise is in the design of cellular radio communicatio...
