Tenacity and some other Parameters of Interval Graphs can be computed in polynomial time
Authors
Abstract:
In general, computation of graph vulnerability parameters is NP-complete. In past, some algorithms were introduced to prove that computation of toughness, scattering number, integrity and weighted integrity parameters of interval graphs are polynomial. In this paper, two different vulnerability parameters of graphs, tenacity and rupture degree are defined. In general, computing the tenacity of a graph is NP-hard and the rupture degree of a graph is NP-complete, but in this paper, we will show that these parameters can be computed in polynomial time for interval graphs.

The neighbor-scattering number can be computed in polynomial time for interval graphs
Neighbor-scattering number is a useful measure for graph vulnerability. For some special kinds of graphs, explicit formulas are given for this number. However, for general graphs it is shown that to compute this number is NP-complete. In this paper, we prove that for interval graphs this number can be computed in polynomial time. Keyworks: neighbor-scattering number, interval graph, consecutive...
full textSome Results on Tenacity of Graphs∗
The tenacity of an incomplete connected graph G is defined as T (G) = min{ |S|+m(G−S) ω(G−S) : S ⊂ V (G), ω(G− S) > 1}, where ω(G− S) and m(G− S), respectively, denote the number of components and the order of a largest component inG−S. This is a reasonable parameter to measure the vulnerability of networks, as it takes into account both the amount of work done to damage the network and how bad...

Reliability of networks is an important issue in the field of graph and network. Computation of network vulnerability parameters is NP-complete for popular network topologies such as tree, Mesh, Cube, etc.In this paper, we will show that the tenacity and rupture degree parameters for trapezoid graphs can be computed in polynomial time.
full textComputing Role Assignments of Proper Interval Graphs in Polynomial Time
A homomorphism from a graph G to a graph R is locally surjective if its restriction to the neighborhood of each vertex of G is surjective. Such a homomorphism is also called an R-role assignment of G. Role assignments have applications in distributed computing, social network theory, and topological graph theory. The Role Assignment problem has as input a pair of graphs (G,R) and asks whether G...
full textNormalized Tenacity and Normalized Toughness of Graphs
In this paper, we introduce the novel parameters indicating Normalized Tenacity ($T_N$) and Normalized Toughness ($t_N$) by a modification on existing Tenacity and Toughness parameters. Using these new parameters enables the graphs with different orders be comparable with each other regarding their vulnerabilities. These parameters are reviewed and discussed for some special graphs as well.

The graph isomorphism problem belongs to the class of NP problems, and has been conjectured intractable, although probably not NP-complete. However, in the context of chemistry, because molecules are a restricted class of graphs, the problem of graph isomorphism can be solved efficiently (i.e., in polynomial-time). This paper presents the theoretical results that for all molecules, the problems...
