Independent Sets in Asteroidal Triple-Free Graphs

چکیده
An asteroidal triple (AT) is a set of three vertices such that there is a path between any pair of them avoiding the closed neighborhood of the third. A graph is called AT-free if it does not have an AT. We show that there is an O(n4) time algorithm to compute the maximum weight of an independent set for AT-free graphs. Furthermore, we obtain O(n4) time algorithms to solve the independent dominating set and the independent perfect dominating set problems on AT-free graphs. We also show how to adapt these algorithms such that they solve the corresponding problem for graphs with bounded asteroidal number in polynomial time. Finally, we observe that the problems clique and partition into cliques remain NP-complete when restricted to AT-free graphs.

An asteroidal triple is a set of three independent vertices such that between any two of them there exists a path that avoids the neighl.)ourhood of the third. Graphs that do not. co~,tain an asteroidal triple are called asteroidal triple-free (AT-free) graphs. AT-free graphs strictly contain the well-known class of cocomparability graphs, and are not necessarily perfect.. We present efficient,...
متن کاملAsteroidal Triple-Free Graphs
An independent set of three vertices such that each pair is joined by a path that avoids the neighborhood of the third is called an asteroidal triple. A graph is asteroidal triple-free (AT-free) if it contains no asteroidal triples. The motivation for this investigation was provided, in part, by the fact that the AT-free graphs provide a common generalization of interval, permutation, trapezoid...
متن کاملPowers of Asteroidal Triple-free Graphs with Applications
An asteroidal triple is an independent set of three vertices in a graph such that every two of them are joined by a path avoiding the closed neighborhood of the third. Graphs without asteroidal triples are called AT-free graphs. In this paper, we show that every AT-free graph admits a vertex ordering that we call a 2-cocomparability ordering. The new suggested ordering generalizes the cocompara...

An independent set of three of vertices is called an asteroidal triple if between each pair in the triple there exists a path that avoids the neighborhood of the third. A graph is asteroidal triple-free (AT-free, for short) if it contains no asteroidal triple. The motivation for this work is provided, in part, by the fact that AT-free graphs ooer a common generalization of interval, permutation...

We present the first polynomial time algorithms for solving the NPcomplete graph problems DOMINATING SET and TOTAL DOMINATING SET when restricted to asteroidal triple-free graphs. We also present algorithms to compute a minimum cardinality dominating set and a minimum cardinality total dominating set on a large superclass of the asteroidal triple-free graphs, called DDP-graphs. These algorithms...
