The graph tessellation cover number: extremal bounds, efficient algorithms and hardness
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tessellation of a graph is a partition of its vertices into vertex disjoint cliques. A tessellation cover of a graph is a set of tessellations that covers all of its edges. The t-tessellability problem aims to decide whether there is a tessellation cover of the graph with t tessellations. This problem is motivated by its applications to quantum walk models, in especial, the evolution operator of the staggered model is obtained from a graph tessellation cover. We establish upper bounds on the tessellation cover number given by the minimum between the chromatic index of the graph and the chromatic number of its clique graph and we show graph classes for which these bounds are tight. We prove NP-completeness for t-tessellability if the instance is restricted to planar graphs, chordal (2, 1)-graphs, (1, 2)-graphs, diamond-free graphs with diameter five, or for any fixed t at least 3. On the other hand, we improve the complexity for 2-tessellability to a linear-time algorithm.

On generalized atom-bond connectivity index of cacti
The generalized atom-bond connectivity index of a graph G is denoted by ABCa(G) and defined as the sum of weights ((d(u)+d(v)-2)/d(u)d(v))aa$ over all edges uv∊G. A cactus is a graph in which any two cycles have at most one common vertex. In this paper, we compute sharp bounds for ABCa index for cacti of order $n$ ...
متن کاملThe tessellation problem of quantum walks
Quantum walks have received a great deal of attention recently because they can be used to develop new quantum algorithms and to simulate interesting quantum systems. In this work, we focus on a model called staggered quantum walk, which employs advanced ideas of graph theory and has the advantage of including the most important instances of other discrete-time models. The evolution operator of...
متن کاملHypo-efficient domination and hypo-unique domination
For a graph $G$ let $gamma (G)$ be its domination number. We define a graph G to be (i) a hypo-efficient domination graph (or a hypo-$mathcal{ED}$ graph) if $G$ has no efficient dominating set (EDS) but every graph formed by removing a single vertex from $G$ has at least one EDS, and (ii) a hypo-unique domination graph (a hypo-$mathcal{UD}$ graph) if $G$ has at least two minimum dominating sets...
متن کاملOn Some Interconnections between Combinatorial Optimization and Extremal Graph Theory
The uniting feature of combinatorial optimization and extremal graph theory is that in both areas one should find extrema of a function defined in most cases on a finite set. While in combinatorial optimization the point is in developing efficient algorithms and heuristics for solving specified types of problems, the extremal graph theory deals with finding bounds for various graph invariants u...
متن کاملAlgorithmic Search for Extremal Graphs of Girth At Least Five
Let f(v) denote the maximum number of edges in a graph of order v and of girth at least 5. In this paper, we discuss algorithms for constructing such extremal graphs. This gives constructive lower bounds of f(v) for v ≤ 200. We also provide the exact values of f(v) for v ≤ 24, and enumerate the extremal graphs for v ≤ 10.
