On constructing rational spanning tree edge densities

چکیده

Let τ(G) and τG(e) denote the number of spanning trees of a graph G and the number of spanning trees of G containing edge e of G, respectively. Ferrara, Gould, and Suffel asked if, for every rational 0 < p/q < 1 there existed a graph G with edge e ∈ E(G) such that τG(e)/τ(G) = p/q. In this note we provide constructions that show this is indeed the case. Moreover, we show this is true even if we restrict G to claw-free graphs, bipartite graphs, or planar graphs. Let dep(G) = maxe∈G τG(e)/τ(G). Ferrara et al. also asked if, for every rational 0 < p/q < 1 there existed a graph G with dep(G) = p/q. For the claw-free construction, we are also able to answer this question in the affirmative.

Broadcasting on Faulty Hypercubes

In this paper we propose a method for constructing the maximum number of edge-disjoint spanning trees (in the directed sense) on a hypercube with arbitrary one faulty node. Each spanning tree is of optimal height. By taking the common neighbor of the roots of these edge-disjoint spanning trees as the new root and reversing the direction of the directed link from each root to the new root, a spa...

Optimal Parallel Construction of Hamiltonian Cycles and Spanning Trees in Random Graphs (Preliminary Version)

We give tight bounds on the parallel complexity of some problems involving random graphs. Speci cally, we show that a Hamiltonian cycle, a breadth rst spanning tree, and a maximal matching can all be constructed in (log n) expected time using n= log n processors on the CRCW PRAM. This is a substantial improvement over the best previous algorithms, which required ((log log n)) time and n log n p...

Construction of Edge-Disjoint Spanning Trees in the Torus and Application to Multicast in Wormhole-Routed Networks

A tree-based multicast algorithm for wormhole-routed torus networks, which makes use of multiple edge-disjoint spanning trees is presented. A technique for constructing two spanning trees in 2-dimensional torus networks is described. It is formally proven that this construction produces two edge-disjoint spanning trees in any 2-D torus network. Compared with an algorithm for construction of mul...

On Central Spanning Trees of a Graph

We consider the collection of all spanning trees of a graph with distance between them based on the size of the symmetric difference of their edge sets. A central spanning tree of a graph is one for which the maximal distance to all other spanning trees is minimal. We prove that the problem of constructing a central spanning tree is algorithmically difficult and leads to an NP-complete problem.

Risk-Control Approach for a Bottleneck Spanning Tree Problem with the Total Network Reliability under Uncertainty

This paper considers a new risk-control and management approach for a bottleneck spanning tree problem under the situation where edge costs in a given network include randomness and reliability. Particularly, this paper focuses on the case that only mean value and variance of edge costs are calculated without assuming a specific random distribution. In order to develop the risk control approach...
