Randomised Algorithms for Finding Small Weakly-Connected Dominating Sets of Regular Graphs

چکیده
A weakly-connected dominating set, W, of a graph, G, is a dominating set such that the subgraph consisting of V (G) and all edges incident with vertices in W is connected. Finding a small weaklyconnected dominating set of a graph has important applications in clustering mobile ad-hoc networks. In this paper we introduce several new randomised greedy algorithms for finding small weakly-connected dominating sets of regular graphs. These heuristics proceed by growing a weakly-connected dominating set in the graph. We analyse the averagecase performance of the simplest such heuristic on random regular graphs using differential equations. This introduces upper bounds on the size of a smallest weakly-connected dominating set of a random regular graph. We then show that for random regular graphs, other “growing” greedy strategies have exactly the same average-case performance as the simple heuristic.

We present a simple heuristic for finding a small connected dominating set of cubic graphs. The average-case performance of this heuristic, which is a randomised greedy algorithm, is analysed on random n-vertex cubic graphs using differential equations. In this way, we prove that the expected size of the connected dominating set returned by the algorithm is asymptotically almost surely less tha...
