A unit disk graph is an intersection graph of unit disks in the euclidean plane. We present a polynomial-time approximation scheme for the maximum independent set problem in unit disk graphs. In contrast to previously known approximation schemes, our approach does not require a geometric representation (specifying the coordinates of the disk centers).

We study the classification of holomorphic isometric embeddings of the unit disk into polydisks. As a corollary of our results, we can give a complete classification when the target is the 2-disk and the 3-disk. We also prove that the holomorphic isometric embeddings between polydisks are induced by those of the unit disk into polydisks.

PROBLEM DEFINITION Consider a graph G = (V,E). A subset C of V is called a dominating set if every vertex is either in C or adjacent to a vertex in C. If, furthermore, the subgraph induced by C is connected, then C is called a connected dominating set. A connected dominating set with a minimum cardinality is called a minimum connected dominating set (MCDS). Computing a MCDS is an NP-hard proble...

For a given graph with weighted vertices, the goal of the minimum-weight dominating set problem is to compute a vertex subset of smallest weight such that each vertex of the graph is contained in the subset or has a neighbor in the subset. A unit disk graph is a graph in which each vertex corresponds to a unit disk in the plane and two vertices are adjacent if and only if their disks have a non...

Unit disk graphs are the intersection graphs of equal sized circles in the plane. In this paper, we consider the maximum independent set problems on unit disk graphs. When the given unit disk graph is de ned on a slab whose width is k, we propose an algorithm for nding a maximum independent set in O(n 4 d 2k= p 3 e ) time where n denotes the number of vertices. We also propose a (1 1=r)-approxi...
