Node-searching problem on block graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The node-searching problem, introduced by Kirousis and Papadimitriou, is equivalent to several important problems, such as the interval thickness problem, the path-width problem, the vertex separation problem, and so on. In this paper, we generalize the avenue concept, originally proposed for trees, to block graphs whereby we design an efficient algorithm for computing both the search numbers and optimal search strategies for block graphs. It answers the question proposed by Peng et al. of whether the node-searching problem on block graphs can be solved in polynomial time. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Graph Searching on Chordal Graphs
In the graph searching problem initially a graph with all edges contaminated is pre sented We would like to obtain a state of the graph in which all edges are simultaneously clear by a sequence of moves using searchers The objective is to achieve the desired state by using the least number of searchers Two variations of the graph searching problem are considered in this paper One is the edge se...
متن کاملGraphical Models as Block-Tree Graphs
We introduce block-tree graphs as a framework for deriving efficient algorithms on graphical models. We define block-tree graphs as a tree-structured graph where each node is a cluster of nodes such that the clusters in the graph are disjoint. This differs from junction-trees, where two clusters connected by an edge always have at least one common node. When compared to junction-trees, we show ...

The security of block ciphers is assessed through their resistance to known attacks. One of the most important attacks is linear cryptanalysis. In this paper, we describe a model for presenting linear approximations for Moamagar block cipher. This graph shows the whole space of linear approximations for the block cipher algorithm is presented through its obtained multi-level weighted directed g...
متن کاملAutomatic QoS-aware Web Services Composition based on Set-Cover Problem
By definition, web-services composition works on developing merely optimum coordination among a number of available web-services to provide a new composed web-service intended to satisfy some users requirements for which a single web service is not (good) enough. In this article, the formulation of the automatic web-services composition is proposed as several set-cover problems and an approxima...
متن کاملSearching for Nodes in Random Graphs
We consider the problem of searching for a node on a labeled random graph according to a greedy algorithm that selects a route to the desired node using metric information on the graph. Motivated by peer-to-peer networks two types of random graph are proposed with properties particularly amenable to this kind of algorithm. We derive equations for the probability that the search is successful an...
