چکیده

An edge coloring of a plane graph G is facially proper if no two faceadjacent edges of G receive the same color. A facial (facially proper) parity edge coloring of a plane graph G is an (facially proper) edge coloring with the property that, for each color c and each face f of G, either an odd number of edges incident with f is colored with c, or color c does not occur on the edges of f . In this paper we deal with the following question: For which integers k does there exist a facial (facially proper) parity edge coloring of a plane graph G with exactly k colors?

Binary Labelings for Plane Quadrangulations and their Relatives

Motivated by the bijection between Schnyder labelings of a plane triangulation and partitions of its inner edges into three trees, we look for binary labelings for quadrangulations (whose edges can be partitioned into two trees). Our labeling resembles many of the properties of Schnyder’s one for triangulations: Apart from being in bijection with tree decompositions, paths in these trees allow ...

Plane Decompositions as Tools for Approximation

Tree decompositions were developed by Robertson and Seymour [21]. Since then algorithms have been developed to solve intractable problems efficiently for graphs of bounded treewidth. In this paper we extend tree decompositions to allow cycles to exist in the decomposition graph; we call these new decompositions plane decompositions because we require that the decomposition graph be planar. Firs...

Enumeration of unlabeled graph classes A study of tree decompositions and related approaches

In this paper, we study the enumeration of certain classes of graphs that can be fully characterized by tree decompositions; these classes are particularly significant due to the algorithmic improvements derived from tree decompositions on classically NP-complete problems on these classes [12, 7, 17, 35]. Previously, Chauve et al. [6] and Iriza [26] constructed grammars from the split decomposi...

Plane Graphs with Parity Constraints

Let S be a set of n points in general position in the plane. Together with S we are given a set of parity constraints, that is, every point of S is labeled either even or odd. A graph G on S satisfies the parity constraint of a point p ∈ S, if the parity of the degree of p in G matches its label. In this paper we study how well various classes of planar graphs can satisfy arbitrary parity const...
