چکیده

The metric dimension of a graph is the size of the smallest set of vertices whose distances distinguish all pairs of vertices in the graph. We show that this graph invariant may be calculated by an algorithm whose running time is linear in the input graph size, added to a function of the largest possible number of leaves in a spanning tree of the graph.

On the Parameterized Max-Leaf Problems: Digraphs and Undirected Graphs∗

The parameterized max-leaf problem on undirected graphs (which is also named the max-leaf spanning-tree problem) is formulated as follows: given an undirected graph G and a parameter k, either construct a spanning tree with at least k leaves for G or report ‘No’ if such a tree does not exist. The problem also has a version for directed graphs that is named the max-leaf out-branching problem. In...

On Tractable Parameterizations of Graph Isomorphism

The fixed-parameter tractability of graph isomorphism is an open problem with respect to a number of natural parameters, such as tree-width, genus and maximum degree. We show that graph isomorphism is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the tree-depth of the graph. We also extend this result to a parameter generalizing both tree-depth and max-leaf-number by deploying new variants of...

Parameterized algorithms on digraph and constraint satisfaction problems

While polynomial-time approximation algorithms remain a dominant notion in tackling computationally hard problems, the framework of parameterized complexity has been emerging rapidly in recent years. Roughly speaking, the analytic framework of parameterized complexity attempts to grasp the difference between problems which admit O(ck · poly(n))-time algorithms such as Vertex Cover, and problems...

Parameterized and approximation complexity of the detection pair problem in graphs

We study the complexity of the problem Detection Pair. A detection pair of a graph G is a pair (W,L) of sets of detectors with W ⊆ V (G), the watchers, and L ⊆ V (G), the listeners, such that for every pair u, v of vertices that are not dominated by a watcher of W , there is a listener of L whose distances to u and to v are different. The goal is to minimize |W |+ |L|. This problem generalizes ...

A CHARACTERIZATION FOR METRIC TWO-DIMENSIONAL GRAPHS AND THEIR ENUMERATION

‎The textit{metric dimension} of a connected graph $G$ is the minimum number of vertices in a subset $B$ of $G$ such that all other vertices are uniquely determined by their distances to the vertices in $B$‎. ‎In this case‎, ‎$B$ is called a textit{metric basis} for $G$‎. ‎The textit{basic distance} of a metric two dimensional graph $G$ is the distance between the elements of $B$‎. ‎Givi...
