چکیده

Let G denote a graph and let K be a subset of vertices that are a set of target vertices of G. The Kterminal reliability of G is defined as the probability that all target vertices in K are connected, considering the possible failures of non-target vertices of G. The problem of computing K-terminal reliability is known to be #P-complete for polygon-circle graphs, and can be solved in polynomialtime for t-polygon graphs, which are a subclass of polygon-circle graphs. The class of circle graphs is a subclass of polygon-circle graphs and a superclass of t-polygon graphs. Therefore, the problem of computing K-terminal reliability for circle graphs is of particular interest. This paper proves that the problem remains #P-complete even for circle graphs. Additionally, this paper proposes a linear-time algorithm for solving the problem for proper circular-arc graphs, which are a subclass of circle graphs and a superclass of proper interval graphs.

)-time algorithm for computing the K-terminal reliability of rooted directed path graphs

Let G denote a graph, and KV(G) represent a set of target vertices. Assume that the non-target vertices of G fail independently with given probabilities. The K-terminal reliability of G is defined as the probability that all target vertices in K are connected. Computing K-terminal reliability is #P-complete for general graphs, yet solvable in polynomial time for interval graphs. This work prop...

$Z_k$-Magic Labeling of Some Families of Graphs

For any non-trivial abelian group A under addition a graph $G$ is said to be $A$-textit{magic}  if there exists a labeling $f:E(G) rightarrow A-{0}$ such that, the vertex labeling $f^+$  defined as $f^+(v) = sum f(uv)$ taken over all edges $uv$ incident at $v$ is a constant. An $A$-textit{magic} graph $G$ is said to be $Z_k$-magic graph if the group $A$ is $Z_k$  the group of integers modulo $k...

Algorithms for K-terminal reliability problems with node failures

Consider a distributed processing system with a set K of sites that can either cooperate in computing a function or hold resources required by other sites. The system is implemented using a communication network with unreliable nodes. Two simplified reliability problems then arise. In the first problem, we are interested in computing the probability that every operational pair of sites in K can...

A Linear-Time Algorithm for Computing K-Terminal Reliability in Series-Parallel Networks

Let G (V, E) be a graph whose edges may fail with known probabilities and let K _ V be specified. The K-terminal reliability of G, denoted R(GK), is the probability that all vertices in K are connected. Computing R(G:) is, in general, NP-hard. For some series-parallel graphs, R(Gn) can be computed in polynomial time by repeated application of well-known reliability-preserving reductions. Howeve...

3-difference cordial labeling of some cycle related graphs

Let G be a (p, q) graph. Let k be an integer with 2 ≤ k ≤ p and f from V (G) to the set {1, 2, . . . , k} be a map. For each edge uv, assign the label |f(u) − f(v)|. The function f is called a k-difference cordial labeling of G if |νf (i) − vf (j)| ≤ 1 and |ef (0) − ef (1)| ≤ 1 where vf (x) denotes the number of vertices labelled with x (x ∈ {1, 2 . . . , k}), ef (1) and ef (0) respectively den...
