Chordless Paths Through Three Vertices
Consider the following problem, that we call “Chordless Path through Three Vertices” or CP3V, for short: Given a simple undirected graph G = (V,E), a positive integer k, and three distinct vertices s, t, and v ∈ V , is there a chordless path from s via v to t in G that consists of at most k vertices? In a chordless path, no two vertices are connected by an edge that is not in the path. Alternat...
متن کاملAn Efficient Algorithm for Enumerating Chordless Cycles and Chordless Paths
A chordless cycle (induced cycle) C of a graph is a cycle without any chord, meaning that there is no edge outside the cycle connecting two vertices of the cycle. A chordless path is defined similarly. In this paper, we consider the problems of enumerating chordless cycles/paths of a given graph G = (V,E), and propose algorithms taking O(|E|) time for each chordless cycle/path. In the existing ...
متن کاملThree-coloring and list three-coloring of graphs without induced paths on seven vertices
In this paper we present a polynomial time algorithm that determines if an input graph containing no induced seven-vertex path is 3-colorable. This affirmatively answers a question posed by Randerath, Schiermeyer and Tewes in 2002. Our algorithm also solves the list-coloring version of the 3-coloring problem, where every vertex is assigned a list of colors that is a subset of {1, 2, 3}, and giv...
متن کاملGraph partition into paths containing specified vertices
For a graph G, let 2(G) denote the minimum degree sum of a pair of nonadjacent vertices. Suppose G is a graph of order n. Enomoto and Ota (J. Graph Theory 34 (2000) 163–169) conjectured that, if a partition n = ∑k i=1 ai is given and 2(G)¿ n + k − 1, then for any k distinct vertices v1; : : : ; vk , G can be decomposed into vertex-disjoint paths P1; : : : ; Pk such that |V (Pi)| = ai and vi is ...
متن کاملObstructions for three-coloring graphs without induced paths on six vertices
We prove that there are 24 4-critical P6-free graphs, and give the complete list. We remark that, if H is connected and not a subgraph of P6, there are infinitely many 4-critical H-free graphs. Our result answers questions of Golovach et al. and Seymour.
