航空器供油问题中完全逆序类中的多项式时间可解类

航空器供油问题是一类非线性组合优化问题,其目标函数为分式形式,该问题目前不存在多项式时间算法,也未被证明是NP完全问题。一般可以用置换来刻画n架飞机的一个供油顺序。该问题中有一类实例被称为“完全逆序类”,“完全逆序类”用动态规划算法求解计算时间为O(n2ⁿ),具有指数时间复杂度。本文通过对该“完全逆序类”问题做进一步分析,发现在“完全逆序类”中也存在着多项式时间可解的情况。定理1研究一类一次可解的情况,若问题满足定理1的条件,则求解一次即可找到其最优解;定理2研究一类多项式时间可解的情况,当问题满足定理2的条件时,其最优解可在多项式时间内获得。

求解最小点覆盖问题实例的计算成本的一种度量方法

最小点覆盖问题是NP难问题,传统的计算复杂性理论认为,当规模n较大时,问题是难计算的,但大量的实例表明,即使规模相同的实例,由于其结构的不同,求最优解时也会花费不同的计算时间,所以建立一种度量具体实例求解难度的方法是必要的.介绍了一种度量最小点覆盖问题任一实例求解所需计算成本的方法,度量方法是以计算时间复杂度为O~*(2.314~(k-vc~*)(G))的参数算法为参照的,参数算法可用来求解点覆盖问题的判定问题,在参数算法中,当参数k为常数时,点覆盖问题可在多项式时间内求解,当k表现为n的函数时,点覆盖问题的难解性就表现出来了,结合最小点覆盖问题的近似算法—线性规划松弛来估计每个实例对应的参数k的取值范围,可在多项式时间内实现对最小点覆盖问题实例的计算成本的预测.对于平面点覆盖问题,则以EPTAS算法为工具实现更精确的度量.

Vertex partitions of r-edge-colored graphs

Let G be an edge-colored graph.The monochromatic tree partition problem is to find the minimum number of vertex disjoint monochromatic trees to cover the all vertices of G.In the authors' previous work,it has been proved that the problem is NP-complete and there does not exist any constant factor approximation algorithm for it unless P=NP.In this paper the authors show that for any fixed integer r≥5,if the edges of a graph G are colored by r colors,called an r-edge-colored graph,the problem remains NP-complete.Similar result holds for the monochromatic path(cycle)partition problem.Therefore,to find some classes of interesting graphs for which the problem can be solved in polynomial time seems interesting. A linear time algorithm for the monochromatic path partition problem for edge-colored trees is given.

The complexity of dissociation set problems in graphs

A subset of vertices in a graph is called a dissociation set if it induces a subgraph with a vertex degree of at most 1. The maximum dissociation set problem, i.e., the problem of finding a dissociation set of maximum size in a given graph is known to be NP-hard for bipartite graphs. We show that the maximum dissociation set problem is NP-hard for planar line graphs of planar bipartite graphs. In addition, we describe several polynomially solvable cases for the problem under consideration. One of them deals with the subclass of the so-called chair-free graphs. Furthermore, the related problem of finding a maximal (by inclusion) dissociation set of minimum size in a given graph is studied, and NP-hardness results for this problem, namely for weakly chordal and bipartite graphs, are derived. Finally, we provide inapproximability results for the dissociation set problems mentioned above.     

Vertex partitions of r -edge-colored graphs

Let G be an edge-colored graph. The monochromatic tree partition problem is to find the minimum number of vertex disjoint monochromatic trees to cover the all vertices of G. In the authors’ previous work, it has been proved that the problem is NP-complete and there does not exist any constant factor approximation algorithm for it unless P = NP. In this paper the authors show that for any fixed integer r ≥ 5, if the edges of a graph G are colored by r colors, called an r-edge-colored graph, the problem remains NP-complete. Similar result holds for the monochromatic path (cycle) partition problem. Therefore, to find some classes of interesting graphs for which the problem can be solved in polynomial time seems interesting. A linear time algorithm for the monochromatic path partition problem for edge-colored trees is given.

Inferring a graph from path frequency

This paper considers the problem of inferring a graph from the number of occurrences of vertex-labeled paths, which is closely related to the pre-image problem for graphs: to reconstruct a graph from its feature space representation. It is shown that both exact and approximate versions of the problem can be solved in polynomial time in the size of an output graph by using dynamic programming algorithms if the graphs are trees whose maximum degree is bounded by a constant and the lengths of given paths and alphabet size are bounded by constants. On the other hand, it is shown that this problem is strongly NP-hard even for trees of bounded degree if the maximum length of paths is not bounded. The problem of inferring a string from the number of occurrences of fixed size substrings is also studied.     

On some balanced, totally balanced and submodular delivery games

This paper studies a class of delivery problems associated with the Chinese postman problem and a corresponding class of delivery games. A delivery problem in this class is determined by a connected graph, a cost function defined on its edges and a special chosen vertex in that graph which will be referred to as the post office. It is assumed that the edges in the graph are owned by different individuals and the delivery game is concerned with the allocation of the traveling costs incurred by the server, who starts at the post office and is expected to traverse all edges in the graph before returning to the post office. A graph G is called Chinese postman-submodular, or, for short, CP-submodular (CP-totally balanced, CP-balanced, respectively) if for each delivery problem in which G is the underlying graph the associated delivery game is submodular (totally balanced, balanced, respectively). For undirected graphs we prove that CP-submodular graphs and CP-totally balanced graphs are weakly cyclic graphs and conversely. An undirected graph is shown to be CP-balanced if and only if it is a weakly Euler graph. For directed graphs, CP-submodular graphs can be characterized by directed weakly cyclic graphs. Further, it is proven that any strongly connected directed graph is CP-balanced. For mixed graphs it is shown that a graph is CP-submodular if and only if it is a mixed weakly cyclic graph. Finally, we note that undirected, directed and mixed weakly cyclic graphs can be recognized in linear time.

Minimum edge ranking spanning trees of split graphs

Given a graph G, the minimum edge ranking spanning tree problem (MERST) is to find a spanning tree of G whose edge ranking is minimum. However, this problem is known to be NP-hard for general graphs. In this paper, we show that the problem MERST has a polynomial time algorithm for split graphs, which have useful applications in practice. The result is also significant in the sense that this is a first non-trivial graph class for which the problem MERST is found to be polynomially solvable. We also show that the problem MERST for threshold graphs can be solved in linear time, where threshold graphs are known to be split.     

Non-stretchable pseudo-visibility graphs

We exhibit a family of graphs which can be realized as pseudo-visibility graphs of pseudo-polygons, but not of straight-line polygons. The example is based on the characterization of vertex-edge pseudo-visibility graphs of O'Rourke and Streinu [Proc. ACM Symp. Comput. Geometry, Nice, France, 1997, pp. 119–128] and extends a recent result of the author [Proc. ACM Symp. Comput. Geometry, Miami Beach, 1999, pp. 274–280] on non-stretchable vertex-edge visibility graphs. We construct a pseudo-visibility graph for which there exists a unique compatible vertex-edge visibility graph, which is then shown to be non-stretchable. The construction is then extended to an infinite family.     

Isomorphisms of finite semi-Cayley graphs

Let G be a finite group. A Cayley graph over G is a simple graph whose automorphism group has a regular subgroup isomorphic to G. A Cayley graph is called a CI-graph(Cayley isomorphism) if its isomorphic images are induced by automorphisms of G. A well-known result of Babai states that a Cayley graph Γ of G is a CI-graph if and only if all regular subgroups of Aut(Γ) isomorphic to G are conjugate in Aut(Γ). A semi-Cayley graph(also called bi-Cayley graph by some authors) over G is a simple graph whose automorphism group has a semiregular subgroup isomorphic to G with two orbits(of equal size). In this paper, we introduce the concept of SCI-graph(semi-Cayley isomorphism)and prove a Babai type theorem for semi-Cayley graphs. We prove that every semi-Cayley graph of a finite group G is an SCI-graph if and only if G is cyclic of order 3. Also, we study the isomorphism problem of a special class of semi-Cayley graphs.
