On the complexity of deciding whether the regular number is at most two

چکیده
The regular number of a graph G denoted by reg(G) is the minimum number of subsets into which the edge set ofG can be partitioned so that the subgraph induced by each subset is regular. In this work we answer to the problem posed as an open problem in A. Ganesan et al. (2012) [3] about the complexity of determining the regular number of graphs. We show that computation of the regular number for connected bipartite graphs is NP-hard. Furthermore, we show that, determining whether reg(G) = 2 for a given connected 3-colorable graph G is NP-complete. Also, we prove that a new variant of the Monotone Not-All-Equal 3-Sat problem is NP-complete.

On 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...

Residue Number System is a kind of numerical systems that uses the remainder of division in several different moduli. Conversion of a number to smaller ones and carrying out parallel calculations on these numbers will increase the speed of the arithmetic operations in this system. However, the main factor that affects performance of system is hardware complexity of reverse converter. Reverse co...
متن کاملComplexity of the Undirected Radius and Diameter Problems for Succinctly Represented Graphs
The diameter of an undirected graph is the minimal number d such that there is a path between any two vertices of the graph of length at most d. The radius of a graph is the minimal number r such that there exists a vertex in the graph from which all other vertices can be reached in at most r steps. In the present paper we study the computational complexity of deciding whether a given graph has...
متن کاملOn the complexity of deciding whether the distinguishing chromatic number of a graph is at most two
In an article [3] published recently in this journal, it was shown that when k ≥ 3, the problem of deciding whether the distinguishing chromatic number of a graph is at most k is NP-hard. We consider the problem when k = 2. In regards to the issue of solvability in polynomial time, we show that the problem is at least as hard as graph automorphism but no harder than graph isomorphism.
متن کاملThe Complexity of Clickomania
We study a popular puzzle game known variously as Clickomania and Same Game. Basically, a rectangular grid of blocks is initially colored with some number of colors, and the player repeatedly removes a chosen connected monochromatic group of at least two square blocks, and any blocks above it fall down. We show that one-column puzzles can be solved, i.e., the maximum possible number of blocks c...
