The maximum edge biclique problem is NP-complete

چکیده
We prove that the maximum edge biclique problem in bipartite graphs is NP-complete. A biclique in a bipartite graph is a vertex induced subgraph which is complete. The problem of finding a biclique with a maximum number of vertices is known to be solvable in polynomial time but the complexity of finding a biclique with a maximum number of edges was still undecided.

On Bipartite and Multipartite Clique Problems
In this paper, we introduce the maximum edge biclique problem in bipartite graphs and the edge/node weighted multipartite clique problem in multipartite graphs. Our motivation for studying these problems came from abstractions of real manufacturing problems in the computer industry and from formal concept analysis. We show that the weighted version and four variants of the unweighted version of...
متن کاملInapproximability of the Minimum Biclique Edge Partition Problem
For a graph G, a biclique edge partition SBP(G) is a collection of bicliques (complete bipartite subgraphs) Bi such that each edge of G is contained in exactly one Bi. The Minimum Biclique Edge Partition Problem (MBEPP) asks for SBP(G) with the minimum size. In this paper, we show that for arbitrary small > 0, (6053/6052 − )-approximation of MBEPP is NP-hard. key words: biclique, edge partition...
متن کاملApproximating Clique and Biclique Problems
We present here 2-approximation algorithms for several node deletion and edge deletion biclique problems and for an edge deletion clique problem. The biclique problem is to find a node induced subgraph that is bipartite and complete. The objective is to minimize the total weight of nodes or edges deleted so that the remaining subgraph is bipartite complete. Several variants of the biclique prob...
متن کاملInapproximability Results for Maximum Edge Biclique, Minimum Linear Arrangement, and Sparsest Cut
We consider the Minimum Linear Arrangement problem and the (Uniform) Sparsest Cut problem. So far, these two notorious NP-hard graph problems have resisted all attempts to prove inapproximability results. We show that they have no polynomial time approximation scheme, unless NP-complete problems can be solved in randomized subexponential time. Furthermore, we show that the same techniques can b...
متن کاملHardness of approximation of the Balanced Complete Bipartite Subgraph problem
We prove that the Maximum Balanced Complete Bipartite Subgraph (BCBS) problem is hard to approximate within a factor of 2 n) δ for some δ > 0 under the plausible assumption that 3-SAT ∈ DTIME ( 2 3/4+ ) for some > 0. We also show that it is NP -hard to approximate the BCBS problem within a constant factor under the assumption that it is NP -hard to approximate the maximum clique problem within ...
