The Complexity of Proving That a Graph Is Ramsey

چکیده
We say that a graph with n vertices is c-Ramsey if it does not contain either a clique or an independent set of size c logn. We define a CNF formula which expresses this property for a graph G. We show a superpolynomial lower bound on the length of resolution proofs that G is c-Ramsey, for every graph G. Our proof makes use of the fact that every c-Ramsey graph must contain a large subgraph with some properties typical for random graphs.

All Ramsey (2K2,C4)−Minimal Graphs
Let F, G and H be non-empty graphs. The notation F → (G,H) means that if any edge of F is colored by red or blue, then either the red subgraph of F con- tains a graph G or the blue subgraph of F contains a graph H. A graph F (without isolated vertices) is called a Ramsey (G,H)−minimal if F → (G,H) and for every e ∈ E(F), (F − e) 9 (G,H). The set of all Ramsey (G,H)−minimal graphs is denoted by ...
متن کاملA rank lower bound for cutting planes proofs of Ramsey Theorem
Ramsey Theorem is a cornerstone of combinatorics and logic. In its simplest formulation it says that there is a function r such that any simple graph with r(k, s) vertices contains either a clique of size k or an independent set of size s. We study the complexity of proving upper bounds for the number r(k, k). In particular we focus on the propositional proof system cutting planes; we prove tha...
متن کاملOn the Computational Complexity of the Domination Game
The domination game is played on an arbitrary graph $G$ by two players, Dominator and Staller. It is known that verifying whether the game domination number of a graph is bounded by a given integer $k$ is PSPACE-complete. On the other hand, it is showed in this paper that the problem can be solved for a graph $G$ in $mathcal O(Delta(G)cdot |V(G)|^k)$ time. In the special case when $k=3$ and the...
متن کاملFuzzy Complexity Analysis with Conflict Resolution for Educational Projects
Evaluative and comparative analysis among educational projects remains an issue for administration, program directors, instructors, and educational institutes. This study reports a fuzzy complexity model for educational projects, which has two primary aspects (technical aspects and transparency aspects). These aspects may not be measured precisely due to uncertain situations. Therefore, a fuzzy...
متن کاملOn the computational complexity of finding a minimal basis for the guess and determine attack
Guess-and-determine attack is one of the general attacks on stream ciphers. It is a common cryptanalysis tool for evaluating security of stream ciphers. The effectiveness of this attack is based on the number of unknown bits which will be guessed by the attacker to break the cryptosystem. In this work, we present a relation between the minimum numbers of the guessed bits and uniquely restricted...
