Graph homomorphism problem [3]: GT52 Graph partition into subgraphs of specific types (triangles, isomorphic subgraphs, Hamiltonian subgraphs, forests, perfect matchings) are known NP-complete. Partition into cliques is the same problem as coloring the complement of the given graph. A related problem is to find a partition that is optimal terms ...
Graphs with bounded cyclomatic number, vertex cover number or max leaf number all have bounded treewidth, however it is an open problem to determine the complexity of the metric dimension problem even on graphs of treewidth 2, that is, series–parallel graphs. [9]
The knight's tour problem is the mathematical problem of finding a knight's tour. Creating a program to find a knight's tour is a common problem given to computer science students. [ 3 ] Variations of the knight's tour problem involve chessboards of different sizes than the usual 8 × 8 , as well as irregular (non-rectangular) boards.
Often, the problem is to decompose a graph into subgraphs isomorphic to a fixed graph; for instance, decomposing a complete graph into Hamiltonian cycles. Other problems specify a family of graphs into which a given graph should be decomposed, for instance, a family of cycles, or decomposing a complete graph K n into n − 1 specified trees ...
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 ...
The "pearls" of the title include theorems, proofs, problems, and examples in graph theory.The book has ten chapters; after an introductory chapter on basic definitions, the remaining chapters material on graph coloring; Hamiltonian cycles and Euler tours; extremal graph theory; subgraph counting problems including connections to permutations, derangements, and Cayley's formula; graph ...
