Revisiting Radius, Diameter, and all Eccentricity Computation in Graphs through Certificates
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce notions of certificates allowing to bound eccentricities in a graph. In particular, we revisit radius (minimum eccentricity) and diameter (maximum eccentricity) computation and explain the efficiency of practical radius and diameter algorithms by the existence of small certificates for radius and diameter plus few additional properties. We show how such computation is related to covering a graph with certain balls or complementary of balls. We introduce several new algorithmic techniques related to eccentricity computation and propose algorithms for radius, diameter and all eccentricities with theoretical guarantees with respect to certain graph parameters. This is complemented by experimental results on various real-world graphs showing that these parameters appear to be low in practice. We also obtain refined results in the case where the input graph has low doubling dimension, has low hyperbolicity, or is chordal.

The Center and Periphery of Composite Graphs
The center (periphery) of a graph is the set of vertices with minimum (maximum) eccentricity. In this paper, the structure of centers and peripheries of some classes of composite graphs are determined. The relations between eccentricity, radius and diameter of such composite graphs are also investigated. As an application we determine the center and periphery of some chemical graphs such as nan...
متن کاملOPEX: Optimized Eccentricity Computation in Graphs
Real-world graphs have many properties of interest, but often these properties are expensive to compute. We focus on eccentricity, radius and diameter in this work. These properties are useful measures of the global connectivity patterns in a graph. Unfortunately, computing eccentricity for all nodes is O(n) for a graph with n nodes. We present OPEX, a novel combination of optimizations which i...
متن کاملWiener Index of Graphs in Terms of Eccentricities
The Wiener index W(G) of a connected graph G is defined as the sum of the distances between all unordered pairs of vertices of G. The eccentricity of a vertex v in G is the distance to a vertex farthest from v. In this paper we obtain the Wiener index of a graph in terms of eccentricities. Further we extend these results to the self-centered graphs.
متن کاملComputing the Eccentricity Distribution of Large Graphs
The eccentricity of a node in a graph is defined as the length of a longest shortest path starting at that node. The eccentricity distribution over all nodes is a relevant descriptive property of the graph, and its extreme values allow the derivation of measures such as the radius, diameter, center and periphery of the graph. This paper describes two new methods for computing the eccentricity d...
متن کاملEccentricity Properties of Glue Graphs
For any graph G, the Equi-eccentric point set graph Gee is defined on the same set of vertices by joining two vertices in Gee if and only if they correspond to two vertices of G with equal eccentricities. The Glue graph Gg is defined on the same set of vertices by joining two vertices in Gg if and only if they correspond to two adjacent vertices of G or two adjacent vertices of Gee. In this pap...
