Finding Colorful Paths in Temporal Graphs

چکیده
The problem of finding paths in temporal graphs has been recently considered due to its many applications. In this paper we consider a variant the that, given vertex-colored graph, asks for path whose vertices have distinct colors and include maximum number colors. We study approximation complexity provide an inapproximability lower bound. Then present heuristic experimental evaluation our heuristic, both on synthetic real-world graphs.

Colorful Paths in Vertex Coloring of Graphs
A colorful path in a graph G is a path with χ(G) vertices whose colors are different. A vcolorful path is such a path, starting from v. Let G 6= C7 be a connected graph with maximum degree ∆(G). We show that there exists a (∆(G) + 1)-coloring of G with a v-colorful path for every v ∈ V (G). We also prove that this result is true if one replaces (∆(G) + 1) colors with 2χ(G) colors. If χ(G) = ω(G...
متن کاملColorful paths for 3-chromatic graphs
In this paper, we prove that every 3-chromatic connected graph, except C7, admits a 3-vertex coloring in which every vertex is the beginning of a 3-chromatic path. It is a special case of a conjecture due to S. Akbari, F. Khaghanpoor, and S. Moazzeni, cited in [P.J. Cameron, Research problems from the BCC22, Discrete Math. 311 (2011), 1074–1083], stating that every connected graph G other than ...
متن کاملInduced Colorful Trees and Paths in Large Chromatic Graphs
In a proper vertex coloring of a graph a subgraph is colorful if its vertices are colored with different colors. It is well-known that in every proper coloring of a k-chromatic graph there is a colorful path Pk on k vertices. If the graph is k-chromatic and triangle-free then in any proper coloring there is also a path Pk which is an induced subgraph. N.R. Aravind conjectured that these results...
متن کاملFinding simple paths and cycles in graphs
We describe a novel method, the method of random colorings, for finding simple paths and cycles of a specified length k in a graph G = (V,E). Using small bias probability spaces and families of perfect hash functions we can derandomize the randomized algorithms obtained using this method and obtain deterministic algorithms that establish the following new results: • For every fixed k, deciding ...
متن کاملFinding Paths and Cycles in Graphs
A polynomial time algorithm which detects all paths and cycles of all lengths in form of vertex pairs (start, finish). Introduction Problem of path/cycle existence and finding is a big topic in Discrete Mathematics and Computer Science [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and others]. This article is not a review but just another design. The design’s idea may be traced back ...
