Deciding whether the metric dimension of a tree is at most a given integer can be done in linear time [10] Other linear-time algorithms exist for cographs, [5] chain graphs, [11] and cactus block graphs [12] (a class including both cactus graphs and block graphs). The problem may be solved in polynomial time on outerplanar graphs. [4]
The works of Ramsey on colorations and more specially the results obtained by Turán in 1941 was at the origin of another branch of graph theory, extremal graph theory. The four color problem remained unsolved for more than a century. In 1969 Heinrich Heesch published a method for solving the problem using computers. [29]
Only finitely many Moore graphs exist, but their exact number is unknown. They provide the solutions to the degree diameter problem for their degree and diameter. [2] Small-world networks are a class of graphs with low diameter, modeling the real-world phenomenon of six degrees of separation in social networks. [3]
The problems of finding a Hamiltonian path and a Hamiltonian cycle can be related as follows: In one direction, the Hamiltonian path problem for graph G can be related to the Hamiltonian cycle problem in a graph H obtained from G by adding a new universal vertex x, connecting x to all vertices of G. Thus, finding a Hamiltonian path cannot be ...
In the study of graph coloring problems in mathematics and computer science, a greedy coloring or sequential coloring [1] is a coloring of the vertices of a graph formed by a greedy algorithm that considers the vertices of the graph in sequence and assigns each vertex its first available color. Greedy colorings can be found in linear time, but ...
A set of graphs isomorphic to each other is called an isomorphism class of graphs. The question of whether graph isomorphism can be determined in polynomial time is a major unsolved problem in computer science, known as the graph isomorphism problem. [1] [2] The two graphs shown below are isomorphic, despite their different looking drawings.

In graph theory and theoretical computer science, the longest path problem is the problem of finding a simple path of maximum length in a given graph.A path is called simple if it does not have any repeated vertices; the length of a path may either be measured by its number of edges, or (in weighted graphs) by the sum of the weights of its edges.
