Solving some NP-complete problems using split decomposition

We show how to use the split decomposition to solve some NP-hard optimization problems on graphs. We give algorithms for clique problem and domination-type problems. Our main result is an algorithm to compute a coloration of a graph using its split decomposition. Finally we show that the clique-width of a graph is bounded if and only if the clique-width of each representative graph in its split decomposition is bounded.     

On the complexity of project scheduling to minimize exposed time

We consider project scheduling where the project manager’s objective is to minimize the time from when an adversary discovers the project until the completion of the project. We analyze the complexity of the problem identifying both polynomially solvable and NP-hard versions of the problem. The complexity of the problem is seen to be dependent on the nature of renewable resource constraints, precedence constraints, and the ability to crash activities in the project.     

The consensus string problem for a metric is NP-complete

Given a set S of strings, a consensus string of S based on consensus error is a string w that minimizes the sum of the distances between w and all the strings in S. In this paper, we show that the problem of finding a consensus string based on consensus error is NP-complete when the penalty matrix is a metric.

提出一种新的关于多维背包(Multi-dimensions Knapsack Problem,MKP)的约束替代问题,MKP是NP-完全问题,称这种约束替代方法为不等式单约束平面生成法.叙述了单约束不等平面生成算法的基本思想,证明了此方法的一些性质及化简问题后所得到的新问题MKPS与原问题MKP的等价性.最后用实例证实了这种化简方法及其有效性。     

Nonlinear mappings associated with the generalized linear complementarity problem

We show that the Cottle—Dantzig generalized linear complementarity problem (GLCP) is equivalent to a nonlinear complementarity problem (NLCP), a piecewise linear system of equations (PLS), a multiple objective programming problem (MOP), and a variational inequalities problem (VIP). On the basis of these equivalences, we provide an algorithm for solving problem GLCP.Project partially supported by a grant from Oak Ridge Associated Universities, TN, USA.     

Hamiltonian index is NP-complete

In this paper we show that the problem to decide whether the hamiltonian index of a given graph is less than or equal to a given constant is NP-complete (although this was conjectured to be polynomial). Consequently, the corresponding problem to determine the hamiltonian index of a given graph is NP-hard. Finally, we show that some known upper and lower bounds on the hamiltonian index can be computed in polynomial time.     

Maximizing edge-ratio is NP-complete

Given a graph G and a bipartition of its vertices, the edge-ratio is the minimum for both classes so defined of their number of internal edges divided by their number of cut edges. We prove that maximizing edge-ratio is NP-complete.
