چکیده

We present an O(n4)-time and O(n2)-space algorithm that computes a subgraph of the minimum weight triangulation (MWT) of a general point set. The algorithm works by finding a collection of edges guaranteed to be in any locally minimal triangulation. We call this subgraph the LMT-skeleton. We also give a variant called the modified LMTskeleton that is both a more complete subgraph of the MWT and is faster to compute requiring only O(n2) time and O(n) space in the expected case for uniform distributions. Several experimental implementations of both approaches have shown that for moderate-sized point sets (up to 350 points1) the skeletons are connected, enabling an efficient completion of the exact MWT . We are thus able to compute the MWT of substantially larger random point sets than have previously been computed.

WIGM: Discovery of Subgraph Patterns in a Large Weighted Graph

Many research areas have begun representing massive data sets as very large graphs. Thus, graph mining has been an active research area in recent years. Most of the graph mining research focuses on mining unweighted graphs. However, weighted graphs are actually more common. The weight on an edge may represent the likelihood or logarithmic transformation of likelihood of the existence of the edg...

A New Subgraph of Minimum Weight Triangulations

In this paper, two sufficient conditions for identifying a subgraph of minimum weight triangulation of a planar point set are presented. These conditions are based on local geometric properties of an edge to be identified. Unlike the previous known sufficient conditions for identifying subgraphs, such as Keil’s β-skeleton and Yang and Xu’s double circles, The local geometric requirement in our ...

Total Roman domination subdivision number in graphs

A {em Roman dominating function} on a graph $G$ is a function $f:V(G)rightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every vertex $u$ for which $f(u)=0$ is adjacent to at least one vertex $v$ for which $f(v)=2$. A {em total Roman dominating function} is a Roman dominating function with the additional property that the subgraph of $G$ induced by the set of all vertices of positive weight has n...

On beta-skeleton as a subgraph of the minimum weight triangulation

Given a set S of n points in the plane, a triangulation is a maximal set of non-intersecting edges connecting the points in S. The weight of the triangulation is the sum of the lengths of the edges. In this paper, we show that for ¿ 1=sin , the -skeleton of S is a subgraph of a minimum weight triangulation of S, where = tan−1(3= √ 2 √ 3) ≈ =3:1. There exists a four-point example such that the -...
