    © 2019 Elsevier Ltd In this study, we proposed combined kernel-based methods to leverage patent citation graph performance for patent classification. The concept is to use the combined graph kernels of the citation graph to classify patent documents, as a hybrid approach. A multiple kernel framework was used for integrating multiple datasets of various kernels into a combined kernel. We employed seven graph kernels as the baselines and the combination of random walks and Weisfeiler–Lehman subtree kernels to achieve higher performance. We calculated the kernel values of each patent pairwise and employed an SVM classifier to carry out the classification task. The investigation results demonstrate that the combined graph kernel outperforms single kernels.

    The problem MaxW-Light (MaxW-Heavy) for an undirected graph is to assign a direction to each edge so that the number of vertices of outdegree at most W (resp. at least W) is maximized. It is known that these problems are NP-hard even for fixed W. For example, Max 0-Light is equivalent to the problem of finding a maximum independent set. In this paper, we show that for any fixed constant W, MaxW-Heavy can be solved in linear time for hereditary graph classes for which treewidth is bounded by a function of degeneracy. We show that such graph classes include chordal graphs, circular-arc graphs, d-trapezoid graphs, chordal bipartite graphs, and graphs of bounded clique-width. To have a polynomial-time algorithm for MaxW-Light, we need an additional condition of a polynomial upper bound on the number of potential maximal cliques to apply the metatheorem by Fomin et al. (SIAM J Comput 44:54–87, 2015). The aforementioned graph classes, except bounded clique-width graphs, satisfy such a condition. For graphs of bounded clique-width, we present a dynamic programming approach not using the metatheorem to show that it is actually polynomial-time solvable for this graph class too. We also study the parameterized complexity of the problems and show some tractability and intractability results.

    We investigate the computational complexity of the following problem. We are given a graph in which each vertex has an initial and a target color. Each pair of adjacent vertices can swap their current colors. Our goal is to perform the minimum number of swaps so that the current and target colors agree at each vertex. When the colors are chosen from {1,2,…,c}, we call this problem c-COLORED TOKEN SWAPPING since the current color of a vertex can be seen as a colored token placed on the vertex. We show that c-COLORED TOKEN SWAPPING is NP-complete for c=3 even if input graphs are restricted to connected planar bipartite graphs of maximum degree 3. We then show that 2-COLORED TOKEN SWAPPING can be solved in polynomial time for general graphs and in linear time for trees. Besides, we show that, the problem for complete graphs is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the number of colors, while it is known to be NP-complete when the number of colors is unbounded.

    A set of vertices in a graph is c-colorable if the subgraph induced by the set has a proper c-coloring. In this paper, we study the problem of finding a step-by-step transformation (reconfiguration) between two c-colorable sets in the same graph. This problem generalizes the well-studied Independent Set Reconfiguration problem. As the first step toward a systematic understanding of the complexity of this general problem, we study the problem on classes of perfect graphs. We first focus on interval graphs and give a combinatorial characterization of the distance between two c-colorable sets. This gives a linear-time algorithm for finding an actual shortest reconfiguration sequence for interval graphs. Since interval graphs are exactly the graphs that are simultaneously chordal and co-comparability, we then complement the positive result by showing that even deciding reachability is PSPACE-complete for chordal graphs and for co-comparability graphs. The hardness for chordal graphs holds even for split graphs. We also consider the case where c is a fixed constant and show that in such a case the reachability problem is polynomial-time solvable for split graphs but still PSPACE-complete for co-comparability graphs. The complexity of this case for chordal graphs remains unsettled. As by-products, our positive results give the first polynomial-time solvable cases (split graphs and interval graphs) for Feedback Vertex Set Reconfiguration.

    A graph is d-orientable if its edges can be oriented so that the maximum in-degree of the resulting digraph is at most d. d-orientability is a well-studied concept with close connections to fundamental graph-theoretic notions and applications as a load balancing problem. In this paper we consider the d-Orientable Deletion problem: given a graph G = (V, E), delete the minimum number of vertices to make G d-orientable. We contribute a number of results that improve the state of the art on this problem. Specifically: We show that the problem is W[2]-hard and log n-inapproximable with respect to k, the number of deleted vertices. This closes the gap in the problem’s approximability. We completely characterize the parameterized complexity of the problem on chordal graphs: it is FPT parameterized by d + k, but W-hard for each of the parameters d, k separately. We show that, under the SETH, for all d, , the problem does not admit a (d + 2 − )tw, algorithm where tw is the graph’s treewidth, resolving as a special case an open problem on the complexity of PseudoForest Deletion. We show that the problem is W-hard parameterized by the input graph’s clique-width. Complementing this, we provide an algorithm running in time dO(d·cw), showing that the problem is FPT by d + cw, and improving the previously best know algorithm for this case.

    FIXED-FLOOD-IT and FREE-FLOOD-IT are combinatorial problems on graphs that generalize a very popular puzzle called Flood-It. Both problems consist of recoloring moves whose goal is to produce a monochromatic ("flooded") graph as quickly as possible. Their difference is that in FREE-FLOOD-IT the player has the additional freedom of choosing the vertex to play in each move. In this paper, we investigate how this freedom affects the complexity of the problem. It turns out that the freedom is bad in some sense. We show that some cases trivially solvable for FIXED-FLOOD-IT become intractable for FREE-FLOOD-IT. We also show that some tractable cases for FIXED-FLOOD-IT are still tractable for FREE-FLOOD-IT but need considerably more involved arguments. We finally present some combinatorial properties connecting or separating the two problems. In particular, we show that the length of an optimal solution for FIXED-FLOOD-IT is always at most twice that of FREE-FLOOD-IT, and this is tight.

    A pseudoforest is a graph where each connected component contains at most one cycle, or alternatively, a graph that can be turned into a forest by removing at most one edge from each connected component. In this paper, we show that the following problem can be solved in O(3knkO(1)) time: given a graph G and an integer k, can we delete at most k vertices from G such that we obtain a pseudoforest? The result improves upon an earlier result by Philip et al. (2015) who gave a (nonlinear) 7.56knO(1)-time algorithm both in the exponential factor depending on k as well as in the polynomial factor depending on n.

    Given a sequence of integers, we want to find a longest increasing subsequence of the sequence. It is known that this problem can be solved in O(n log n) time and space. Our goal in this paper is to reduce the space consumption while keeping the time complexity small. For n = s = n, we present algorithms that use O(s log n) bits and O(1 s · n2 · log n) time for computing the length of a longest increasing subsequence, and O(1 s · n2 · log2 n) time for finding an actual subsequence. We also show that the time complexity of our algorithms is optimal up to polylogarithmic factors in the framework of sequential access algorithms with the prescribed amount of space.

    Given two graphs G and H, we say that G contains H as an induced minor if a graph isomorphic to H can be obtained from G by a sequence of vertex deletions and edge contractions. We study the complexity of Graph Isomorphism on graphs that exclude a fixed graph as an induced minor. More precisely, we determine for every graph H that Graph Isomorphism is polynomial-time solvable on H-induced-minor-free graphs or that it is GI-complete. Additionally, we classify those graphs H for which H-induced-minor-free graphs have bounded clique-width. These two results complement similar dichotomies for graphs that exclude a fixed graph as an induced subgraph, minor, or subgraph.

    Containing many classic optimization problems, the family of vertex deletion problems has an important position in algorithm and complexity study. The celebrated result of Lewis and Yannakakis gives a complete dichotomy of their complexity. It however has nothing to say about the case when the input graph is also special. This paper initiates a systematic study of vertex deletion problems from one subclass of chordal graphs to another. We give polynomial-time algorithms or proofs of NP-completeness for most of the problems. In particular, we show that the vertex deletion problem from chordal graphs to interval graphs is NP-complete.

    A safe set of a graph (Formula presented.) is a non-empty subset S of V such that for every component A of G[S] and every component B of (Formula presented.), we have (Formula presented.) whenever there exists an edge of G between A and B. In this paper, we show that a minimum safe set can be found in polynomial time for trees. We then further extend the result and present polynomial-time algorithms for graphs of bounded treewidth, and also for interval graphs. We also study the parameterized complexity. We show that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the solution size. Furthermore, we show that this parameter lies between the tree-depth and the vertex cover number. We then conclude the paper by showing hardness for split graphs and planar graphs.

    Hitori is a popular “pencil-and-paper” puzzle defined as follows. In n-hitori, we are given an n×n rectangular grid in which each square is labeled with a positive integer, and the goal is to paint a subset of the squares so that the following three rules are satisfied: Rule 1) No row or column has a repeated unpainted label
    Rule 2) Painted squares are never (horizontally or vertically) adjacent
    Rule 3) The unpainted squares are all connected (via horizontal and vertical connections). The grid is called an instance of n-hitori if it has a unique solution. In this paper, we introduce hitori number and maximum hitori number which are defined as follows: For every integer n, hitori number h(n) is the minimum number of different integers used in an instance where the minimum is taken over all the instances of n-hitori. For every integer n, maximum hitori number h(n) is the maximum number of different integers used in an instance where the maximum is taken over all the instances of n-hitori. We then prove that ⌊(2n - 1)/3⌋ ≤ h(n) ≤ 2⌊n/3⌋ + 1 for n ≥ 2 and ⌊(4n2 - 4n + 11)/5⌋ ≥ h(n) ≤ (4n2 + 2n - 2)/5 for n ≤ 3.

    Interval graphs are intersection graphs of closed intervals of the real-line. The well-known computational problem, called recognition, asks whether an input graph G can be represented by closed intervals, i.e., whether G is an interval graph. There are several linear-time algorithms known for recognizing interval graphs, the oldest one is by Booth and Lueker (J Comput Syst Sci 13: 335-379, 1976) based on PQ-trees. In this paper, we study a generalization of recognition, called partial representation extension. The input of this problem consists of a graph G with a partial representation R' fixing the positions of some intervals. The problem asks whether it is possible to place the remaining interval and create an interval representation R of the entire graph G extending R'. We generalize the characterization of interval graphs by Fulkerson and Gross (Pac J Math 15: 835-855, 1965) to extendible partial representations. Using it, we give a linear-time algorithm for partial representation extension based on a reordering problem of PQ-trees.

    An alliance in a graph is a set of vertices that is either safe under attacks from the neighborhood (defensive), capable of attacking its neighbors (offensive), or simultaneously defensive and offensive (powerful). An alliance is global if all nonmembers are adjacent to some members of the alliance. The concept of alliances was introduced by Kristiansen et al. (2004). After that many results concerning the complexity for finding a minimum alliance were shown. It was shown that the problem of finding a minimum alliance of any variant is NP-hard in general. For some variants, it was shown that the problem becomes polynomial time solvable when restricted to trees or series-parallel graphs.
    In this paper, we show that the problems for all variants are efficiently solvable for much larger graph classes. We present a polynomial-time algorithm for graphs of bounded clique-width. We also show that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the vertex cover number. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The recently introduced problem of extending partial interval representations asks, for an interval graph with some intervals pre-drawn by the input, whether the partial representation can be extended to a representation of the entire graph. In this paper, we give a linear-time algorithm for extending proper interval representations and an almost quadratic-time algorithm for extending unit interval representations. We also introduce the more general problem of bounded representations of unit interval graphs, where the input constrains the positions of some intervals by lower and upper bounds. We show that this problem is NP-complete for disconnected input graphs and give a polynomial-time algorithm for the special class of instances, where the ordering of the connected components of the input graph along the real line is prescribed. This includes the case of partial representation extension. The hardness result sharply contrasts the recent polynomial-time algorithm for bounded representations of proper interval graphs (Balko et al. in 2013). So unless , proper and unit interval representations have vastly different structure. This explains why partial representation extension problems for these different types of representations require substantially different techniques.

    A pseudoforest is a graph where each connected component contains at most one cycle, or alternatively, a graph that can be turned into a forest by removing at most one edge from each connected component. In this paper, we show that the following problem can be solved in O(3knkO(1)) time: given a graph G and an integer k, can we delete at most k vertices from G such that we obtain a pseudoforest? The result improves upon an earlier result by Philip et al. [MFCS 2015] who gave a (nonlinear) 7.56knO(1)-time algorithm both in the exponential factor depending on k as well as in the polynomial factor depending on n.

    A unit disk graph is a c-strip graph if it has a unit disk representation in which all centers of the unit disks lie between two parallel lines at distance c. The classes of c-strip graphs for various c are studied in the literature. For example, the 0-strip graphs are exactly the unit interval graphs, and every root 3/2-strip graph is a co-comparability graph. In this paper, we introduce the class of thin strip graphs and study their properties. A graph is a thin strip graph if it is a c-strip graph for every c > 0. We show that there is no constant t such that the t-strip graphs are exactly the thin strip graphs. We also show that the class of thin strip graphs properly includes the class of mixed unit interval graphs. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The problem generalizes that of enumerating maximal independent sets and maximal induced forests, which correspond to respectively 0-degenerate and 1-degenerate subgraphs.

    The problem MAX W-LIGHT (MAX W-HEAVY) for an undirected graph is to assign a direction to each edge so that the number of vertices of outdegree at most W (resp. at least W) is maximized. It is known that these problems are NP-hard even for fixed W. For example, Max 0-LIGHT is equivalent to the problem of finding a maximum independent set. In this paper, we show that for any fixed constant W, MAX W-HEAVY can be solved in linear time for hereditary graph classes for which treewidth is bounded by a function of degeneracy. We show that such graph classes include chordal graphs, circular-arc graphs, d-trapezoid graphs, chordal bipartite graphs, and graphs of bounded clique-width. To have a polynomial-time algorithm for MAX W-LIGHT, we need an additional condition of a polynomial upper bound on the number of potential maximal cliques to apply the metatheorem by Fomin, Todinca, and Villanger [SIAM J. Comput., 44(1):57-87, 2015]. The aforementioned graph classes, except bounded clique-width graphs, satisfy such a condition. For graphs of bounded clique-width, we present a dynamic programming approach not using the metatheorem to show that it is actually polynomial-time solvable for this graph class too. We also study the parameterized complexity of the problems and show some tractability and intractability results.

    In 1969, Roberts introduced proper and unit interval graphs and proved that these classes are equal. Natural generalizations of unit interval graphs called k-length interval graphs were considered in which the number of different lengths of intervals is limited by k. Even after decades of research, no insight into their structure is known and the complexity of recognition is open even for k = 2. We propose generalizations of proper interval graphs called k-nested interval graphs in which there are no chains of k + 1 intervals nested in each other. It is easy to see that k-nested interval graphs are a superclass of k-length interval graphs. We give a linear-time recognition algorithm for k-nested interval graphs. This algorithm adds a missing piece to Gajarský et al. [FOCS 2015] to show that testing FO properties on interval graphs is FPT with respect to the nesting k and the length of the formula, while the problem is W[2]-hard when parameterized just by the length of the formula. Further, we show that a generalization of recognition called partial representation extension is polynomial-time solvable for k-nested interval graphs, while it is NP-hard for k-length interval graphs, even when k = 2.

    Given two graphs, SUBGRAPH ISOMORPHISM is the problem of deciding whether the first graph (the base graph) contains a subgraph isomorphic to the second one (the pattern graph). This problem is NP-complete even for very restricted graph classes such as connected proper interval graphs. Only a few cases are known to be polynomial-time solvable even if we restrict the graphs to be perfect. For example, if both graphs are co-chain graphs, then the problem can be solved in linear time.
    In this paper, we present a polynomial-time algorithm for the case where the base graphs are chordal graphs and the pattern graphs are co-chain graphs. We also present a linear-time algorithm for the case where the base graphs are trivially perfect graphs and the pattern graphs are threshold graphs. These results answer some of the open questions of Kijima et al. (2012). To present a complexity contrast, we then show that even if the base graphs are somewhat restricted perfect graphs, the problem of finding a pattern graph that is a chain graph, a co-chain graph, or a threshold graph is NP-complete.

    Many graph parameters of grid-like graphs are studied because of their algorithmic consequences. An important concept in this context is that of treewidth. Treewidth of graphs is a graph parameter for measuring how close a graph is to a tree. In this paper, we study the treewidth of toroidal grids and show that the treewidth of the n x n toroidal grid is either 2n - 2 or 2n - 1. We then show that these bounds are tight in some cases. To show the lower bounds, we construct brambles of high orders. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Erlebach and van Leeuwen [9] introduced this problem as the geometric version of the unique coverage problem, and the best approximation ratio by van Leeuwen [21] before our work was 2. Our scheme can be generalized to the budgeted unique unit-square coverage problem, in which each point has a profit, each square has a cost, and we wish to maximize the total profit of the uniquely covered points under the condition that the total cost is at most a given bound.

    Given two graphs G and H, we say that G contains H as an induced minor if a graph isomorphic to H can be obtained from G by a sequence of vertex deletions and edge contractions. We study the complexity of Graph Isomorphism on graphs that exclude a fixed graph as an induced minor. More precisely, we determine for every graph H that Graph Isomorphism is polynomial-time solvable on H-induced-minor-free graphs or that it is isomorphism complete. Additionally, we classify those graphs H for which H-induced-minor-free graphs have bounded clique-width. Those two results complement similar dichotomies for graphs that exclude a fixed graph as an induced subgraph, minor or subgraph.

In this paper, we show that a minimum safe set can be found in polynomial time for trees. We then further extend the result and present polynomial-time algorithms for graphs of bounded treewidth, and also for interval graphs. We also study the parameterized complexity of the problem. We show that the problem is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by the solution size. Furthermore, we show that this parameter lies between tree-depth and vertex cover number.

    Suppose that we are given two independent sets I-b and I-r of a graph such that vertical bar l(b)vertical bar =vertical bar I-r vertical bar and imagine that a token is placed on each vertex in I-b. Then, the SLIDING TOKEN problem is to determine whether there exists a sequence of independent sets which transforms I-b into I-r so that each independent set in the sequence results from the previous one by sliding exactly one token along an edge in the graph. This problem is known to be PSPACE-complete even for planar graphs, and also for bounded treewidth graphs. In this paper, we thus study the problem restricted to trees, and give the following three results: (1) the decision problem is solvable in linear time; (2) for a yes-instance, we can find in quadratic time an actual sequence of independent sets between I-b and I-r whose length (i.e., the number of token-slides) is quadratic; and (3) there exists an infinite family of instances on paths for which any sequence requires quadratic length.

    Chordal graphs are intersection graphs of subtrees of a tree T. We investigate the complexity of the partial representation extension problem for chordal graphs. A partial representation specifies a tree T' and some pre-drawn subtrees of T'. It asks whether it is possible to construct a representation inside a modified tree T which extends the partial representation (i.e., keeps the pre-drawn subtrees unchanged).
    We consider four modifications of T' leading to vastly different problems: (i) T = T', (ii) T is a subdivision of T', (iii) T is a supergraph of T', and (iv) T' is a topological minor of T. In some cases, it is interesting to consider the complexity even when just T' is given and no subtree is pre-drawn. Also, we consider three well-known subclasses of chordal graphs: Proper interval graphs, interval graphs and path graphs. We give an almost complete complexity characterization. We further study the parametrized complexity of the problems when parametrized by the number of pre-drawn subtrees, the number of components of the input graph G and the size of the tree T'.
    We describe an interesting relation with integer partition problems. The problem 3-PARTITION is used for all NP-completeness reductions. When the space in T' is limited, partial representation extension of proper interval graphs is "equivalent" to the BINPACKING problem. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    We investigate the computational complexity of the following problem. We are given a graph in which each vertex has the current and target colors. Each pair of adjacent vertices can swap their current colors. Our goal is to perform the minimum number of swaps so that the current and target colors agree at each vertex. When the colors are chosen from {1, 2,..., c}, we call this problem c-COLORED TOKEN SWAPPING since the current color of a vertex can be seen as a colored token placed on the vertex. We show that c-COLORED TOKEN SWAPPING is NP-complete for every constant c ≥ 3 even if input graphs are restricted to connected planar bipartite graphs of maximum degree 3. We then show that 2-COLORED TOKEN SWAPPING can be solved in polynomial time for general graphs and in linear time for trees.

    Two spanning trees T-1 and T-2 of a graph G are completely independent if, for any two vertices u and v, the paths from u to v in T-1 and T-2 are internally disjoint. For a graph G, we denote the maximum number of pairwise completely independent spanning trees by cist(G). In this paper, we consider cist(G) when G is a partial k-tree.
    First we show that [k/2] <= cist(G) <= k - 1 for any k-tree G. Then we show that for any p is an element of {[k/2],..., k - 1}, there exist infinitely many k-trees G such that cist(G) = p. Finally we consider algorithmic aspects for computing cist(G). Using Courcelle's theorem, we show that there is a linear-time algorithm that computes cist(G) for a partial k-tree, where k is a fixed constant.

    Consider an undirected and vertex-weighted graph modeling a social network, where the vertices represent individuals, the edges do connections among them, and weights do levels of importance of individuals. In the competitive diffusion game, each of a number of players chooses a vertex as a seed to propagate his/her idea which spreads along the edges in the graph. The objective of every player is to maximize the sum of weights of vertices infected by his/her idea. In this paper, we study a computational problem of asking whether a pure Nash equilibrium exists in a given graph, and present several negative and positive results with regard to graph classes. We first prove that the problem is W[1]-hard when parameterized by the number of players even for unweighted graphs. We also show that the problem is NP-hard even for series-parallel graphs with positive integer weights, and is NP-hard even for forests with arbitrary integer weights. Furthermore, we show that the problem for forests of paths with arbitrary weights is solvable in pseudo-polynomial time
    and it is solvable in quadratic time if a given graph is unweighted. We also prove that the problem is solvable in polynomial time for chain graphs, cochain graphs, and threshold graphs with arbitrary integer weights.

    We study reconfiguration problems for cliques in a graph, which determine whether there exists a sequence of cliques that transforms a given clique into another one in a step-by-step fashion. As one step of a transformation, we consider three different types of rules, which are defined and studied in reconfiguration problems for independent sets. We first prove that all the three rules are equivalent in cliques. We then show that the problems are PSPACE-complete for perfect graphs, while we give polynomial-time algorithms for several classes of graphs, such as even-hole-free graphs and cographs. In particular, the shortest variant, which computes the shortest length of a desired sequence, can be solved in polynomial time for chordal graphs, bipartite graphs, planar graphs, and bounded treewidth graphs.

    Sliding Token is a natural reconfiguration problem in which vertices of independent sets are iteratively replaced by neighbors. We develop techniques that may be useful in answering the conjecture that Sliding Token is polynomial-time decidable on bipartite graphs. Along the way, we give efficient algorithms for Sliding Token on bipartite permutation and bipartite distance-hereditary graphs.

    A base-monotone region with a base is a subset of the cells in a pixel grid such that if a cell is contained in the region then so are the ones on a shortest path from the cell to the base. The problem of decomposing a pixel grid into disjoint base-monotone regions was first studied in the context of image segmentation. It is known that for a given pixel grid and base-lines, one can compute in polynomial time a maximum-weight region that can be decomposed into disjoint base-monotone regions with respect to the given baselines (Chun et al., 2012 [4]). We continue this line of research and show the NP-hardness of the problem of optimally locating k base-lines in a given n x n pixel grid. We then present an O (n(3))-time 2-approximation algorithm for this problem. We also study two related problems, the k base-segment problem and the quad-decomposition problem, and present some complexity results for them. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Network localization is important for networks with no prefixed positions of network nodes such as sensor networks. We are given a subset of the set of ((n)(2)) pairwise distances among n sensors in some Euclidean space. We want to determine the positions of each sensor from the (partial) distance information. The input can be seen as an edge weighted graph. In this paper, we present some efficient algorithms that solve this problem using the structures of input graphs, which we call their cores. For instance, we present a polynomial-time algorithm solving the network localization problem for graphs with connected dominating sets of bounded size. This algorithm allows us to have fixed-parameter tractable algorithms for some restricted instances such as graphs with connected vertex covers of bounded size. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

    We give an improved approximation algorithm for the unique unit-disk coverage problem: Given a set of points and a set of unit disks, both in the plane, we wish to find a subset of disks that maximizes the number of points contained in exactly one disk in the subset. Erlebach and van Leeuwen (2008) introduced this problem as the geometric version of the unique coverage problem, and gave a polynomial-time 18-approximation algorithm. In this paper, we improve this approximation ratio 18 to 2 +4/root 3+epsilon (<4.3095+epsilon) for any fixed constant epsilon>0. Our algorithm runs in polynomial time which depends exponentially on 1/epsilon. The algorithm can be generalized to the budgeted unique unit-disk coverage problem in which each point has a profit, each disk has a cost, and we wish to maximize the total profit of the uniquely covered points under the condition that the total cost is at most a given bound.

We first show that the problem is NP-hard even for cobipartite graphs, and thus for AT-free graphs. Next we present simple approximation algorithms with constant approximation ratios for AT-free graphs and graphs in the related graph classes mentioned above. For instance, our algorithm for AT-free graphs has approximation factor 3 and runs in linear time. We also show that the problem is solvable in polynomial time for cochain graphs, which form a subclass of the class of proper interval graphs.(c) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The second bound is that the bramble number of the strong product of graphs G(1) and G(2) must be at least the product of the Hadwiger number of G(1) and the bramble number of G(2).

    We introduce a concept of intersection dimension of a graph with respect to a graph class. This generalizes Ferrers dimension, boxicity, and poset dimension, and leads to interesting new problems. We focus in particular on bipartite graph classes defined as intersection graphs of two kinds of geometric objects. We relate well-known graph classes such as interval bigraphs, two-directional orthogonal ray graphs, chain graphs, and (unit) grid intersection graphs with respect to these dimensions. As an application of these graph-theoretic results, we show that the recognition problems for certain graph classes are NP-complete.

    Given two graphs, Subgraph Isomorphism is the problem of deciding whether the first graph (the base graph) contains a subgraph isomorphic to the second graph (the pattern graph). This problem is NP-complete for very restricted graph classes such as connected proper interval graphs. Only a few cases are known to be polynomial-time solvable even if we restrict the graphs to be perfect. For example, if both graphs are co-chain graphs, then the problem can be solved in linear time.
    In this paper, we present a polynomial-time algorithm for the case where the base graphs are chordal graphs and the pattern graphs are co-chain graphs. We also present a linear-time algorithm for the case where the base graphs are trivially perfect graphs and the pattern graphs are threshold graphs. These results answer some of the open questions of Kijima et al. [Discrete Math. 312, pp. 3164-3173, 2012]. To present a complexity contrast, we then show that even if the base graphs are somewhat restricted perfect graphs, the problem of finding a pattern graph that is a chain graph, a co-chain graph, or a threshold graph is NP-complete.

    We study the parameterized complexity of the graph isomorphism problem when parameterized by width parameters related to tree decompositions. We apply the following technique to obtain fixed-parameter tractability for such parameters. We first compute an isomorphism invariant set of potential bags for a decomposition and then apply a restricted version of the Weisfeiler-Lehman algorithm to solve isomorphism. With this we show fixed-parameter tractability for several parameters and provide a unified explanation for various isomorphism results concerned with parameters related to tree decompositions.
    As a possibly first step towards intractability results for parameterized graph isomorphism we develop an fpt Turing-reduction from strong tree width to the a priori unrelated parameter maximum degree.

    The recently introduced problem of extending partial interval representations asks, for an interval graph with some intervals pre-drawn by the input, whether the partial representation can be extended to a representation of the entire graph. In this paper, we give a linear-time algorithm for extending proper interval representations and an almost quadratic-time algorithm for extending unit interval representations.
    We also introduce the more general problem of bounded representations of unit interval graphs, where the input constrains the positions of intervals by lower and upper bounds. We show that this problem is NP-complete for disconnected input graphs and give a polynomial-time algorithm for a special class of instances, where the ordering of the connected components of the input graph along the real line is fixed. This includes the case of partial representation extension.
    The hardness result sharply contrasts the recent polynomial-time algorithm for bounded representations of proper interval graphs [Balko et al. ISAAC'13]. So unless P = NP, proper and unit interval representations have very different structure. This explains why partial representation extension problems for these different types of representations require substantially different techniques.

    We provide algorithms performing Depth-First Search (DFS) on a directed or undirected graph with n vertices and m edges using only O(n) bits. One algorithm uses O(n) bits and runs in O(mlog n) time. Another algorithm uses n+ o(n) bits and runs in polynomial time. Furthermore, we show that DFS on a directed acyclic graph can be done in space n/2(Omega(root log n)) and in polynomial time, and we also give a simple linear-time O(log n)-space algorithm for the depth-first traversal of an undirected tree. Finally, we also show that for a graph having an O(1)-size feedback set, DFS can be done in O(log n) space. Our algorithms are based on the analysis of properties of DFS and applications of the s-t connectivity algorithms due to Reingold and Barnes et al., both of which run in sublinear space.

    Suppose that we are given two independent sets I-b and I-r of a graph such that vertical bar I-b vertical bar = vertical bar I-r vertical bar, and imagine that a token is placed on each vertex in I-b. Then, the sliding token problem is to determine whether there exists a sequence of independent sets which transforms I-b and I-r so that each independent set in the sequence results from the previous one by sliding exactly one token along an edge in the graph. This problem is known to be PSPACE-complete even for planar graphs, and also for bounded treewidth graphs. In this paper, we show that the problem is solvable for trees in quadratic time. Our proof is constructive: for a yes-instance, we can find an actual sequence of independent sets between I-b and I-r whose length (i. e., the number of token-slides) is quadratic. We note that there exists an infinite family of instances on paths for which any sequence requires quadratic length.

    The flooding games, which are called Flood-It, Mad Virus, or HoneyBee, are a kind of coloring games and they have been becoming popular online. In these games, each player colors one specified cell in his/her turn, and all connected neighbor cells of the same color are also colored by the color. This flooding or coloring spreads on the same color cells. It is natural to consider the coloring games on general graphs: Once a vertex is colored, the flooding flows along edges in the graph. Recently, computational complexities of the variants of the flooding games on several graph classes have been studied. We investigate the one player flooding games on some graph classes characterized by interval representations. Our results state that the number of colors is a key parameter to determine the computational complexity of the flooding games. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.

More precisely, we show that the problem is polynomial-time solvable if the forbidden set contains a forest of subdivided stars and is graph isomorphism complete otherwise. We also show that, assuming that the graph isomorphism problem is not polynomial-time solvable in general, there is no such dichotomy for the cases of infinite sets of forbidden subgraphs. To this end, we conditionally show that there exists a graph class closed under taking subgraphs with intermediate isomorphism problem, i.e., a class on which the isomorphism problem is neither polynomial-time solvable nor graph isomorphism complete.

    Klavík et al. [arXiv:1207.6960] recently introduced a generalization of recognition called the bounded representation problem which we study for the classes of interval and proper interval graphs. The input gives a graph G and in addition for each vertex v two intervals ℒv and ℛv called bounds. We ask whether there exists a bounded representation in which each interval Iv has its left endpoint in ℒv and its right endpoint in . We show that the problem can be solved in linear time for interval graphs and in quadratic time for proper interval graphs. Robert's Theorem states that the classes of proper interval graphs and unit interval graphs are equal. Surprisingly, the bounded representation problem is polynomially solvable for proper interval graphs and NP-complete for unit interval graphs [Klavík et al., arxiv:1207.6960]. So unless P = NP, the proper and unit interval representations behave very differently. The bounded representation problem belongs to a wider class of restricted representation problems. These problems are generalizations of the well-understood recognition problem, and they ask whether there exists a representation of G satisfying some additional constraints. The bounded representation problems generalize many of these problems. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.

    We study the problem of determining the spanning tree congestion of a graph. We present some sharp contrasts in the parameterized complexity of this problem. First, we show that on apex-minor-free graphs, a general class of graphs containing planar graphs, graphs of bounded treewidth, and graphs of bounded genus, the problem to determine whether a given graph has spanning tree congestion at most k can be solved in linear time for every fixed k. We also show that for every fixed k and d the problem is solvable in linear time for graphs of degree at most d. In contrast, if we allow only one vertex of unbounded degree, the problem immediately becomes NP-complete for any fixed ka parts per thousand yen8. Moreover, the hardness result holds for graphs excluding the complete graph on 6 vertices as a minor. We also observe that for ka parts per thousand currency sign3 the problem becomes polynomially time solvable.

    This paper presents an efficient algorithm to generate all (unordered) rooted trees with exactly vertices including exactly k leaves. There are known results on efficient enumerations of some classes of graphs embedded on a plane, for instance, biconnected and triconnected triangulations [3], [6], and floorplans [4]. On the other hand, it is difficult to enumerate a class of graphs without a fixed embedding. The paper is on enumeration of rooted trees without a fixed embedding. We already proposed an algorithm to generate all "ordered" trees with 17 vertices including k leaves [11], while the algorithm cannot seem to efficiently generate all (unordered) rooted trees with it vertices including k leaves. We design a simple tree structure among such trees, then by traversing the tree structure we generate all such trees in constant time per tree in the worst case. By repeatedly applying the algorithm for each k = 1, 2, . . . , n - 1, we can also generate all rooted trees with exactly n vertices.

    We give an improved approximation algorithm for the unique unit-disk coverage problem: Given a set of points and a set of unit disks, both in the plane, we wish to find a subset of disks that maximizes the number of points contained in exactly one disk in the subset. Erlebach and van Leeuwen (2008) introduced this problem as the geometric version of the unique coverage problem, and gave a polynomial-time 18-approximation algorithm. In this paper, we improve this approximation ratio 18 to 2 + 4/root 3 + epsilon (< 4.3095 + epsilon) for any fixed constant epsilon > 0. Our algorithm runs in polynomial time which depends exponentially on 1/epsilon. The algorithm can be generalized to the budgeted unique unit-disk coverage problem in which each point has a profit, each disk has a cost, and we wish to maximize the total profit of the uniquely covered points under the condition that the total cost is at most a given bound.

These results extend the result of Yamazaki, Bodlaender, de Fluiter, and Thilikos [Isomorphism for graphs of bounded distance width.

    Chordal graphs are intersection graphs of subtrees in a tree. We investigate complexity of the partial representation extension problem for chordal graphs. A partial representation specifies a tree T' and some pre-drawn subtrees. It asks whether it is possible to construct a representation inside a modified tree T which extends the partial representation (keeps the pre-drawn subtrees unchanged).
    We consider four modifications of T' and get vastly different problems. In some cases, the problem is interesting even if just T' is given and no subtree is pre-drawn. Also, we consider three well-known subclasses of chordal graphs: Proper interval graphs, interval graphs and path graphs. We give an almost complete complexity characterization.
    In addition, we study parametrized complexity by the number of pre-drawn subtrees, the number of components and the size of the tree T'. We describe an interesting relation with integer partition problems. The problem 3-Partition is used in the NP-completeness reductions. The BIN-PACKING problem is closely related to the extension of interval graphs when space in T' is limited, and we obtain "equivalency" with BIN PACKING.

Simonson, A variation on the min cut linear arrangement problem, Math. Syst. Theory 20(1987)235-252]. We show that his conjecture is true and the bound is tight for outerplanar graphs and k-outerplanar graphs of maximum degree 4. We give a precise characterization of the spanning tree congestion of outerplanar graphs, and thus show that the spanning tree congestion of outerplanar graphs can be determined in linear time.

Using this fact, we determine the bandwidth and the pathwidth of three-dimensional grids, which were known only for the cubic case. As a by-product, we also determine the two parameters of multi-dimensional grids with relatively large maximum factors. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Spanning tree congestion is a relatively new graph parameter, which has been studied intensively. This paper studies the complexity of the problem to determine the spanning tree congestion for non-sparse graph classes, while it was investigated for some sparse graph classes before. We prove that the problem is NP-hard even for chain graphs and split graphs. To cope with the hardness of the problem, we present a fast (exponential- time) exact algorithm that runs in O*(2 n) time, where n denotes the number of vertices. Additionally, we present simple combinatorial lem- mas, which yield a constant-factor approximation algorithm for cographs, and a linear-time algorithm for chordal cographs.

    The path-distance-width of a graph measures how close the graph is to a path. We consider the problem of determining the path-distance-width for graphs with chain-like structures such as k-cocomparability graphs, AT-free graphs, and interval graphs. We first show that the problem is NP-hard even for a very restricted subclass of AT-free graphs. Next we present simple approximation algorithms with constant approximation ratios for graphs with chain-like structures. For instance, our algorithm for AT-free graphs has approximation factor 3 and runs in linear time. We also show that the problem is solvable in polynomial time for the class of cochain graphs, which is a subclass of the class of proper interval graphs.

    We study the problem of determining the spanning tree congestion of a graph. We present some sharp contrasts in the complexity of this problem. First, we show that for every fixed k and d the problem to determine whether a given graph has spanning tree congestion at most k can be solved in linear time for graphs of degree at most d. In contrast, if we allow only one vertex of unbounded degree, the problem immediately becomes NP-complete for any fixed k >= 10. For very small values of k however, the problem becomes polynomially solvable. We also show that it is NP-hard to approximate the spanning tree congestion within a factor better than 11/10. On planar graphs, we prove the problem is NP-hard in general, but solvable in linear time for fixed k.

The algorithm is based on the reverse search, and it outputs each connected bipartite permutation graph in O(1) time.

    It is often the case that problems that are hard to solve on a general graph can be quickly solved if the graph has a tree-like structure. However, there are known problems that remain hard to solve even when the graph is tree-like. In such cases, the main focus of this research is to elucidate, in a general manner as much as possible, what needs to be considered in order to create efficient algorithms.
    Throughout the research period, we have been developing algorithms related to parameters that have not received much attention so far. As a result, we have been able to demonstrate, in a more general manner than before, what properties a graph can possess in order to develop efficient algorithms even for challenging problems.

    The concept of treewidth is one of the most important techniques in graph algorithm design. Using special tree structures related to treewidth, we investigated parameterized complexity and designed fast fixed-parameter algorithms for several important problems such as Subgraph Isomorphism, Safe Set, Graph Burning, Grundy Coloring, (A, l)-Path Packing, Firefighting, and Independent Set Reconfiguration.

    We showed that the graph isomorphism problem is fixed-parameter tractable when parameterized by root-connected tree distance width. To show the result, we modified the classic Weisfeiler-Lehman algorithm so that it works not only for all vertex subsets of size k but also for restricted family of vertex subsets of size k. Furthermore, the modified algorithm runs in FPT time with the parameter k. Then we showed that we can apply the algorithm to the graph isomorphism problem parmeterized by several graph width parameters including root-connected tree distance width.
    We also studied the graph isomorphism problem for graph classes forbidding a single graph as an induced minor. We showed a complexity dichotomy with respect to the forbidden induced minor.

    In this research we have developed powerful techniques for analysis toward establishment of nontrivial lower and upper bounds on the constrained work space. The most fundamental problem is to seek for each entry in a given array of real numbers one of nearest greater values. Using linear size of work space we can design a linear time algorithm for solving the problem. Our problem is whether we can solve the problem in an efficient way using less work space. In this research we showed that we have an efficient algorithm using only constant amount of work space. We also had results on time and space tradeoffs on the problem. We obtained other many results in basic problems in computational geometry and graph theory.

    With recent progressin computer environment,as the performance of computers is improved, people tend to be interested in larger-sized problems such as big-data processing. The problem size is continuously growing, we have a problem of too large memory size to be included in computer main memory. Because of this reason memory-constrained algorithms are requested in many ways, but research on small-memory algorithms has just begun. In this reserch we focus on computational geometry and develop memory-efficient algorithms,but we also developed efficient algorithms for graph problems and binary image processing problems.

    We studied the problem of designing low-congestion sparse networks. Especially, we studied the computational complexity of an optimization problem on graphs called “the spanning tree congestion problem.” We presented sharp contrasts between hard cases and easy cases. We also investigated the parameterized complexity of the problem and gave some dichotomies for the problem. Our results imply the problem is really hard to solve for most of the cases. Thus we designed some heuristic and approximation algorithm and obtained some partial results.
