Edge ranking of weighted trees

چکیده

In this paper we consider the edge ranking problem of weighted trees. We prove that a special instance of this problem, namely edge ranking of multitrees is NP-hard already for multitrees with diameter at most 10. Note that the same problem but for trees is linearly solvable. We give an O(log n)-approximation polynomial time algorithm for edge ranking of weighted trees.

Vertex rankings of chordal graphs and weighted trees

In this paper we consider the vertex ranking problem of weighted trees. We show that this problem is strongly NP-hard. We also give a polynomial-time reduction from the problem of vertex ranking of weighted trees to the vertex ranking of (simple) chordal graphs, which proves that the latter problem is NP-hard. In this way we solve an open problem of Aspvall and Heggernes. We use this reduction ...

An Efficient Algorithm for Edge-Ranking Trees

Abs t rac t . An edge-ranking of an undirected graph G is a labeling of the edges of G with integers such that all paths between two edges with the same label i contain an edge with label j > i. The problem of finding an edge-ranking of G using a minimum number of ranks has applications in scheduling the manufacture of complex multi-part products; it is equivalent to finding the minimum height ...

Minimum Edge Ranking Spanning Tree Problem on Interval Graphs

The minimum edge ranking spanning tree problem on graph G is to find a spanning tree T of G such that the minimum edge ranking of T is minimum among all possible spanning trees of G. In this paper, we propose a linear-time algorithm for this problem on interval graphs.

An On-Line Algorithm for Edge-Ranking of Trees

An edge-ranking of a graph G is a labeling of the edges of G with positive integers such that every path between two edges with the same label γ contains an edge with label λ > γ. In the on-line edge-ranking model the edges e1, e2 . . . , em arrive one at a time in any order, where m is the number of edges in the graph. Only the partial information in the induced subgraph G[{e1, e2, . . . , ei}...
