چکیده

The following ‘constraint matrix span problem’ arises in the assignment of radio channels in cellular communications systems. Given a graph G with a positive integer length l(xy) for each edge xy, and given a positive integer B, can we assign to each vertex x a channel (x) from 1; : : : ; B such that | (x)− (y)|¿ l(xy) for each edge xy? We show that this problem is NP-complete for graphs of treewidth at most 3, but there is a fully polynomial time approximation scheme for the problem on graphs of bounded treewidth. We see also that it is NP-complete for graphs which can be made bipartite by deleting a single vertex. c © 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Graph-Theoretical Models for Frequency Assignment Problems

In the present dissertation we investigate structural and algorithmic aspects of the frequency assignment problem in mobile telephone networks. This problem is of particular interest for the graph theory because of its close relationship to graph coloring. The frequency assignment problem includes the characteristic features of T-coloring, list coloring, and set coloring, and belongs thereby to...

The Stackelberg Minimum Spanning Tree Game on Planar and Bounded-Treewidth Graphs

The Stackelberg Minimum Spanning Tree Game is a two-level combinatorial pricing problem introduced at WADS’07. The game is played on a graph (representing a network), whose edges are colored either red or blue, and where the red edges have a given fixed cost (representing the competitor’s prices). The first player chooses an assignment of prices to the blue edges, and the second player then buy...

Bounded Treewidth Graphs – A Survey German Russian Winter School St. Petersburg, Russia

This survey gives an introduction to the class of bounded treewidth graphs, for which many NP-complete problems can be solved efficiently. The concept of a tree decomposition is explained. Subclasses of the bounded treewidth graphs are identified. Results about finding tree decompositions are summarized. Some problems which are efficiently solvable on bounded treewidth graphs are listed and alg...

Restricted Space Algorithms for Isomorphism on Bounded Treewidth Graphs

The Graph Isomorphism problem restricted to graphs of bounded treewidth or bounded tree distance width are known to be solvable in polynomial time [2],[19]. We give restricted space algorithms for these problems proving the following results: • Isomorphism for bounded tree distance width graphs is in L and thus complete for the class. We also show that for this kind of graphs a canon can be com...

Algorithms for Graphs of (Locally) Bounded Treewidth

Many real-life problems can be modeled by graph-theoretic problems. These graph problems are usually NP-hard and hence there is no efficient algorithm for solving them, unless P= NP. One way to overcome this hardness is to solve the problems when restricted to special graphs. Trees are one kind of graph for which several NP-complete problems can be solved in polynomial time. Graphs of bounded t...
