چکیده

We study the node-deletion problem consisting of finding a maximum weighted induced bipartite subgraph of a planar graph with maximum degree three. We show that this is polynomially solvable. It was shown in [4] that it is NP-complete if the maximum degree is four. We also extend these ideas to the problem of balancing signed graphs. We also consider maximum weighted induced acyclic subgraphs of planar directed graphs. If the maximum degree is three, it is easily shown that this is polynomially solvable. We show that for planar graphs with maximum degree four it is NP-complete.

The distinguishing chromatic number of bipartite graphs of girth at least six

The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has a vertex labeling   with $d$ labels  that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The distinguishing chromatic number $chi_{D}(G)$ of $G$ is defined similarly, where, in addition, $f$ is assumed to be a proper labeling. We prove that if $G$ is a bipartite graph of girth at least six with the maximum ...

Computing Maximum Unavoidable Subgraphs Using SAT Solvers

Unavoidable subgraphs have been widely studied in the context of Ramsey Theory. The research in this area focuses on highly structured graphs such as cliques, cycles, paths, stars, trees, and wheels. We propose to study maximum unavoidable subgraphs measuring the size in the number of edges. We computed maximum unavoidable subgraphs for graphs up to order nine via SAT solving and observed that ...

Partitioning the vertex set of a bipartite graph into complete bipartite subgraphs

Given a graph and a positive integer k, the biclique vertex-partition problem asks whether the vertex set of the graph can be partitioned into at most k bicliques (connected complete bipartite subgraphs). It is known that this problem is NP-complete for bipartite graphs. In this paper we investigate the computational complexity of this problem in special subclasses of bipartite graphs. We prove...

Linear-Time Algorithms for Maximum-Weight Induced Matchings and Minimum Chain Covers in Convex Bipartite Graphs

A bipartite graph G = (U, V,E) is convex if the vertices in V can be linearly ordered such that for each vertex u ∈ U , the neighbors of u are consecutive in the ordering of V . An induced matching H of G is a matching such that no edge of E connects endpoints of two different edges of H. We show that in a convex bipartite graph with n vertices and m weighted edges, an induced matching of maxim...

Acyclic and Frugal Colourings of Graphs

Given a graph G = (V,E), a proper vertex colouring of V is t-frugal if no colour appears more than t times in any neighbourhood and is acyclic if each of the bipartite graphs consisting of the edges between any two colour classes is acyclic. For graphs of bounded maximum degree, Hind, Molloy and Reed [14] studied proper t-frugal colourings and Yuster [19] studied acyclic proper 2-frugal colouri...
