چکیده

Given a graph G = (V; E) and k positive integers n1; n2; : : : ; nk such that ∑k i=1 ni = |V |, we wish to 2nd a partition P1; P2; : : : ; Pk of the vertex set V such that |Pi| = ni and Pi induces a connected subgraph of G for all i; 16 i6 k. Such a partition is called a k-partition of G. A graph G with n vertices is said to be k-partitionable if there exists a k-partition of G for any partition of n into k parts. Lov5 asz (Acta Math. Acad. Sci. Hungar. 30 (1977) 241) showed that k-connected graphs are k-partitionable. In this paper we prove that plane triangulations are 6-partitionable. This result is the best possible as there exist plane triangulations which are not

Generating All Triangulations of Plane Graphs

In this paper, we deal with the problem of generating all triangulations of plane graphs. We give an algorithm for generating all triangulations of a triconnected plane graph G of n vertices. Our algorithm establishes a tree structure among the triangulations of G, called the “tree of triangulations,” and generates each triangulation of G in O(1) time. The algorithm uses O(n) space and generate...

On 3-coloring of plane triangulations

Let G be a plane triangulation. For a color-assignment λ : V (G) → {1, 2, 3}, a face of G whose vertices receive all three colors is called a vivid face with respect to λ. Let hλ(G) be the number of vivid faces in G with respect to λ. Let C(G) be the set of 3-color-assignments of G and let G(n) be the set of plane triangulations with n faces. Let h(G) = max{hλ(G) : λ ∈ C(G)} and h(n) = min{h(G)...

3-Colorability of Pseudo-Triangulations

Deciding 3-colorability for general plane graphs is known to be an NP-complete problem. However, for certain classes of plane graphs, like triangulations, polynomial time algorithms exist. We consider the family of pseudo-triangulations (a generalization of triangulations) and prove NP-completeness for this class. The complexity status does not change if the maximum face-degree is bounded to fo...

Flip Graphs of Degree-Bounded (Pseudo-)Triangulations⋆

We study flip graphs of (pseudo-)triangulations whose maximum vertex degree is bounded by a constant k. In particular, we consider (pseudo-)triangulations of sets of n points in convex position in the plane and prove that their flip graph is connected if and only if k > 6; the diameter of the flip graph is O(n). We also show that for general point sets flip graphs of minimum pseudo-triangulatio...
