Hamiltonicity in Split Graphs - A Dichotomy
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we investigate the well-studied Hamiltonian cycle problem, and present an interesting dichotomy result on split graphs. T. Akiyama, T. Nishizeki, and N. Saito [22] have shown that the Hamiltonian cycle problem is NP-complete in planar bipartite graph with maximum degree 3. Using this reduction, we show that the Hamiltonian cycle problem is NP-complete in split graphs. In particular, we show that the problem is NP-complete in K1,5-free split graphs. Further, we present polynomial-time algorithms for Hamiltonian cycle in K1,3-free and K1,4-free split graphs. We believe that the structural results presented in this paper can be used to show similar dichotomy result for Hamiltonian path and other variants of Hamiltonian cycle problem.

Hamiltonian Path in Split Graphs- a Dichotomy
In this paper, we investigate Hamiltonian path problem in the context of split graphs, and produce a dichotomy result on the complexity of the problem. Our main result is a deep investigation of the structure of $K_{1,4}$-free split graphs in the context of Hamiltonian path problem, and as a consequence, we obtain a polynomial-time algorithm to the Hamiltonian path problem in $K_{1,4}$-free spl...
متن کاملOn Eulerianity and Hamiltonicity in Annihilating-ideal Graphs
Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity, and $ mathrm{A}(R) $ be the set of ideals with non-zero annihilator. The annihilating-ideal graph of $ R $ is defined as the graph $AG(R)$ with the vertex set $ mathrm{A}(R)^{*}=mathrm{A}(R)setminuslbrace 0rbrace $ and two distinct vertices $ I $ and $ J $ are adjacent if and only if $ IJ=0 $. In this paper, conditions under which $AG(R)$ is either E...
متن کاملComplexity of Steiner Tree in Split Graphs - Dichotomy Results
Given a connected graph G and a terminal set R ⊆ V (G), Steiner tree asks for a tree that includes all of R with at most r edges for some integer r ≥ 0. It is known from [ND12,Garey et. al [1]] that Steiner tree is NP-complete in general graphs. Split graph is a graph which can be partitioned into a clique and an independent set. K. White et. al [2] has established that Steiner tree in split gr...
متن کاملHamiltonicity is Hard in Thin or Polygonal Grid Graphs, but Easy in Thin Polygonal Grid Graphs
In 2007, Arkin et al. [3] initiated a systematic study of the complexity of the Hamiltonian cycle problem on square, triangular, or hexagonal grid graphs, restricted to polygonal, thin, superthin, degree-bounded, or solid grid graphs. They solved many combinations of these problems, proving them either polynomially solvable or NP-complete, but left three combinations open. In this paper, we pro...
متن کاملA sufficient condition for Hamiltonicity in locally finite graphs
Using topological circles in the Freudenthal compactification of a graph as infinite cycles, we extend to locally finite graphs a result of Oberly and Sumner on the Hamiltonicity of finite graphs. This answers a question of Stein, and gives a sufficient condition for Hamiltonicity in locally finite graphs.
