Contraction Degeneracy on Cographs

چکیده
The contraction degeneracy of a graph G is the maximum minimum degree of G′ over all minors G′ of G. The corresponding decision problem is known to be NP -complete. In this paper, we present a dynamic programming approach for computing the contraction degeneracy of cographs.

Contraction and Treewidth Lower Bounds
Edge contraction is shown to be a useful mechanism to improve lower bound heuristics for treewidth. A successful lower bound for treewidth is the degeneracy: the maximum over all subgraphs of the minimum degree. The degeneracy is polynomial time computable. We introduce the notion of contraction degeneracy: the maximum over all minors of the minimum degree. We show that the contraction degenera...
متن کاملA Note on Contraction Degeneracy
The parameter contraction degeneracy — the maximum minimum degree over all minors of a graph — is a treewidth lower bound and was first defined in [3]. In experiments it was shown that this lower bound improves upon other treewidth lower bounds [3]. In this note, we examine some relationships between the contraction degeneracy and connected components of a graph, blocks of a graph and the genus...
متن کاملLaplacian Dynamics on Cographs: Controllability Analysis through Joins and Unions
In this paper, we examine the controllability of Laplacian dynamic networks on cographs. Cographs appear in modeling a wide range of networks and include as special instances, the threshold graphs. In this work, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for the controllability of cographs, and provide an efficient method for selecting a minimal set of input nodes from which the network is ...
متن کاملEdge Search Number of Cographs in Linear Time
We give a linear-time algorithm for computing the edge search number of cographs, thereby proving that this problem can be solved in polynomial time on this graph class. With our result, the knowledge on graph searching of cographs is now complete: node, mixed, and edge search numbers of cographs can all be computed efficiently. Furthermore, we are one step closer to computing the edge search n...
متن کامل(Nearly-)tight bounds on the contiguity and linearity of cographs
In this paper we show that the contiguity and linearity of cographs on n vertices are both O(log n). Moreover, we show that this bound is tight for contiguity as there exists a family of cographs on n vertices whose contiguity is Ω(log n). We also provide an Ω(log n/ log log n) lower bound on the maximum linearity of cographs on n vertices. As a by-product of our proofs, we obtain a min-max the...
