چکیده

This paper presents a new characterizations of bipartite permutation graphs and a structure theorem for (0,1)-matrices with a special consecutive 1's property. These results lead to a linear time algorithm for the minimum buuer size problem when restricted to bipartite permutation graphs; this problem arises in relational database systems and is NP-hard for a general graph.

META-HEURISTIC ALGORITHMS FOR MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF CROSSING OF COMPLETE GRAPHS AND COMPLETE BIPARTITE GRAPHS

The minimum crossing number problem is among the oldest and most fundamental problems arising in the area of automatic graph drawing. In this paper, eight population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are utilized to tackle the minimum crossing number problem for two special types of graphs, namely complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. A 2-page book drawing representation is employed for ...

Bipartite permutation graphs

Bipartite graphs and permutation graphs are two well known subfamilies of the perfect graphs. Neither of these families is contained in the other, and their intersection is nonempty. This paper shows that graphs which are both bipartite and permutation graphs have good algorithmic properties. These graphs can be recognized in linear time, and several problems which are NP-complete or of unknown...

On Minimum Feedback Vertex Sets in Bipartite Graphs and Degree-Constraint Graphs

We consider the minimum feedback vertex set problem for some bipartite graphs and degree-constrained graphs. We show that the problem is linear time solvable for bipartite permutation graphs and NP-hard for grid intersection graphs. We also show that the problem is solvable in O(n2 log6 n) time for n-vertex graphs with maximum degree at most three. key words: 3-regular graph, bipartite permutat...

Linear structure of bipartite permutation graphs and the longest path problem

The class of bipartite permutation graphs is the intersection of two well known graph classes: bipartite graphs and permutation graphs. A complete bipartite decomposition of a bipartite permutation graph is proposed in this note. The decomposition gives a linear structure of bipartite permutation graphs, and it can be obtained in O(n) time, where n is the number of vertices. As an application o...
