Cycle transversals in bounded degree graphs

چکیده
In this work we consider the problem of finding a minimum Ck-transversal (a subset of vertices hitting all the induced chordless cycles with k vertices) in a graph with bounded maximum degree. In particular, we seek for dichotomy results as follows: for a fixed value of k, finding a minimum Ck-transversal is polynomial-time solvable if k ≤ p, and NP -hard otherwise.

Bounded transversals in multipartite graphs
Transversals in r-partite graphs with various properties are known to have many applications in graph theory and theoretical computer science. We investigate f -bounded transversals (or f -BT), that is, transversals whose connected components have order at most f . In some sense we search for the the sparsest f -BT-free graphs. We obtain estimates on the smallest maximum degree that 3-partite a...
متن کاملBounded size components--partitions and transversals
Answering a question of Alon, Ding, Oporowski and Vertigan [4], we show that there exists an absolute constant C such that every graph G with maximum degree 5 has a vertex partition into 2 parts, such that the subgraph induced by each part has no component of size greater than C. We obtain similar results for partitioning graphs of given maximum degree into k parts (k > 2) as well. A related th...
متن کاملExtremal Problems For Transversals In Graphs With Bounded Degree
We introduce and discuss generalizations of the problem of independent transversals. Given a graph property R, we investigate whether any graph of maximum degree at most d with a vertex partition into classes of size at least p admits a transversal having property R. In this paper we study this problem for the following properties R: “acyclic”, “H-free”, and “having connected components of orde...
متن کاملk-forested choosability of graphs with bounded maximum average degree
A proper vertex coloring of a simple graph is $k$-forested if the graph induced by the vertices of any two color classes is a forest with maximum degree less than $k$. A graph is $k$-forested $q$-choosable if for a given list of $q$ colors associated with each vertex $v$, there exists a $k$-forested coloring of $G$ such that each vertex receives a color from its own list. In this paper, we prov...
متن کاملA New Algorithm for the Hypergraph Transversal Problem
We consider the problem of finding all minimal transversals of a hypergraph H ⊆ 2 , given by an explicit list of its hyperedges. We give a new decomposition technique for solving the problem with the following advantages: (i) Global parallelism: for certain classes of hypergraphs, e.g. hypergraphs of bounded edge size, and any given integer k, the algorithm outputs k minimal transversals of H i...
