چکیده

A set S of vertices in a digraph D = (V,A) is a kernel if S is independent and every vertex in V −S has an out-neighbor in S. We show that there exist O(n2 √ k +n)time and O(2 √ k + n)-time algorithms for checking whether a planar digraph D of order n has a kernel with at most k vertices. Moreover, if D has a kernel of size at most k, the algorithms find such a kernel of minimal size.

On the existence of (k, l)-kernels in infinite digraphs: A survey

Let D be a digraph, V (D) and A(D) will denote the sets of vertices and arcs of D, respectively. A (k, l)-kernel N of D is a k-independent (if u, v ∈ N , u 6= v, then d(u, v), d(v, u) ≥ k) and l-absorbent (if u ∈ V (D) − N then there exists v ∈ N such that d(u, v) ≤ l) set of vertices. A k-kernel is a (k, k− 1)-kernel. This work is a survey of results proving sufficient conditions for the exist...

On (k, l)-kernels in D-join of digraphs

In [5] the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of (k, l)-kernels in a D-join of digraphs were given if the digraph D is without circuits of length less than k. In this paper we generalize these results for an arbitrary digraph D. Moreover, we give the total number of (k, l)-kernels, k-independent sets and l-dominating sets in a D-join of digraphs.

7024 ANNALES DU LAMSADE N ° 6 Octobre 2006

In this paper we would like to thoroughly cover the problem of computing all kernels, i.e. minimal outranking and/or outranked independent choices in a bipolarvalued outranking digraph. First we introduce in detail the concept of bipolar-valued characterisation of outranking digraphs, choices and kernels. In a second section we present and discuss several algorithms for enumerating the kernels ...

Exponential Speedup of Fixed-Parameter Algorithms on K3, 3-Minor-Free or K5-Minor-Free Graphs

We present a fixed parameter algorithm that constructively solves the k-dominating set problem on graphs excluding one of the K5 or K3,3 as a minor in time O(3 6 √ n). In fact, we present our algorithm for any H-minor-free graph where H is a single-crossing graph (can be drawn on the plane with at most one crossing) and obtain the algorithm for K3,3(K5)-minor-free graphs as a special case. As a...

Combinatorial game theory foundations applied to digraph kernels

Known complexity facts: the decision problem of the existence of a kernel in a digraph G = (V,E) is NP-complete; if all of the cycles of G have even length, then G has a kernel; and the question of the number of kernels is #P-complete even for this restricted class of digraphs. In the opposite direction, we construct game theory tools, of independent interest, concerning strategies in the prese...
