Planar Subgraphs without Low-Degree Nodes

چکیده
We study the following problem: given a geometric graph G and an integer k, determine if G has a planar spanning subgraph (with the original embedding and straight-line edges) such that all nodes have degree at least k. If G is a unit disk graph, the problem is trivial to solve for k = 1. We show that even the slightest deviation from the trivial case (e.g., quasi unit disk graphs or k = 2) leads to NP-hard problems.

Partial Delaunay Triangulation and Localized Bluetooth Scatternet Formation
This paper addresses the problem of scatternet formation algorithm for multi-hop Bluetooth based personal area and ad hoc network, with minimal communication overhead. Nodes are assumed to know their position and are able to establish connections with any of the neighboring nodes. We first propose a new sparse subgraph, namely, partial Delaunay triangulation (PDT), which can be constructed effi...
متن کاملMaximum Weighted Induced Bipartite Subgraphs and Acyclic Subgraphs of Planar Cubic Graphs
We study the node-deletion problem consisting of finding a maximum weighted induced bipartite subgraph of a planar graph with maximum degree three. We show that this is polynomially solvable. It was shown in [4] that it is NP-complete if the maximum degree is four. We also extend these ideas to the problem of balancing signed graphs. We also consider maximum weighted induced acyclic subgraphs o...
متن کاملLarge planar subgraphs in dense graphs
We prove sufficient and essentially necessary conditions in terms of the minimum degree for a graph to contain planar subgraphs with many edges. For example, for all positive γ every sufficiently large graph G with minimum degree at least (2/3 + γ)|G| contains a triangulation as a spanning subgraph, whereas this need not be the case when the minimum degree is less than 2|G|/3.
متن کاملOn the thickness of graphs of given degree
The results presented here refer to the determination of the thickness of a graph; that is, the minimum number of planar subgraphs into which the graph can be decomposed. A useful general, preliminary result obtained is Theorem 8: that a planar graph always has a planar representation in which the nodes are placed in arbitrary given positions. It is then proved that, if we have positive integer...
متن کاملHierarchic Graphs Based on the Fibonacci Numbers
In this paper, a new class of hierarchically definable graphs are proposed and they are proper subgraphs of Hierarchic Cubic graphs. These graphs are based on the Fibonacci series by changing initial conditions. When the initial conditions are changed, then the structure of obtained graph will be changed. Thus, we obtained a series of hierarchically definable graphs. The obtained graphs have lo...
