Spanning Tree Congestion of Planar Graphs

چکیده
The paper is devoted to estimates of the spanning tree congestion for some planar graphs. The main results of the paper: (1) We almost determined (up to ±1) the maximal possible spanning tree congestion for planar graphs. (2) The value of congestion indicator introduced in Ostrovskii [Discrete Math. 310 (2010), no. 6–7, 1204–1209] can be very far from the value of the spanning tree congestion. (3) We find some more examples in which the congestion indicator can be used to find the exact value of the spanning tree congestion.

The main purpose of the paper is to develop an approach to evaluation or estimation of the spanning tree congestion of planar graphs. This approach is used to evaluate the spanning tree congestion of triangular grids.
متن کاملCounting the number of spanning trees of graphs
A spanning tree of graph G is a spanning subgraph of G that is a tree. In this paper, we focus our attention on (n,m) graphs, where m = n, n + 1, n + 2, n+3 and n + 4. We also determine some coefficients of the Laplacian characteristic polynomial of fullerene graphs.
متن کاملComplexity Results for the Spanning Tree Congestion Problem
We study the problem of determining the spanning tree congestion of a graph. We present some sharp contrasts in the complexity of this problem. First, we show that for every fixed k and d the problem to determine whether a given graph has spanning tree congestion at most k can be solved in linear time for graphs of degree at most d. In contrast, if we allow only one vertex of unbounded degree, ...
متن کاملDistributed Algorithms for Planar Networks II: Low-Congestion Shortcuts, MST, and Min-Cut
This paper introduces the concept of low-congestion shortcuts for (near-)planar networks, and demonstrates their power by using them to obtain near-optimal distributed algorithms for problems such as Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) or Minimum Cut, in planar networks. Consider a graph G = (V,E) and a partitioning of V into subsets of nodes S1, . . . , SN , each inducing a connected subgraph G[Si]. W...
متن کاملMinimum congestion spanning trees in bipartite and random graphs
The first problem considered in this paper: is it possible to find upper estimates for the spanning tree congestion for bipartite graphs which are better than for general graphs? It is proved that there exists a bipartite version of the known graph with spanning tree congestion of order n 3 2 , where n is the number of vertices. The second problem is to estimate spanning tree congestion of rand...
