A Polynomial Algorithm for Subisomorphism of Open Plane Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We address the problem of searching for a pattern in a plane graph, that is, a planar drawing of a planar graph. We define plane subgraph isomorphism and give a polynomial algorithm for this problem. We show that this algorithm may be used even when the pattern graph has holes.

Polynomial algorithms for open plane graph and subgraph isomorphisms
Graphs are used as models in a variety of situations. In some cases, e.g. to model images or maps, the graphs will be drawn in the plane, and this feature can be used to obtain new algorithmic results. In this work, we introduce a special class of graphs, called open plane graphs, which can be used to represent images or maps for robots: they are planar graphs embedded in the plane, in which ce...
متن کاملMETA-HEURISTIC ALGORITHMS FOR MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF CROSSING OF COMPLETE GRAPHS AND COMPLETE BIPARTITE GRAPHS
The minimum crossing number problem is among the oldest and most fundamental problems arising in the area of automatic graph drawing. In this paper, eight population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are utilized to tackle the minimum crossing number problem for two special types of graphs, namely complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. A 2-page book drawing representation is employed for ...
متن کاملOn the Hardness of Point-Set Embeddability⋆
A point-set embedding of a plane graph G with n vertices on a set S of n points is a straight-line drawing of G, where the vertices of G are mapped to distinct points of S. The problem of deciding whether a plane graph admits a point-set embedding on a given set of points is NPcomplete for 2-connected planar graphs, but polynomial-time solvable for outerplanar graphs and plane 3-trees. In this ...
متن کاملRelationship between Coefficients of Characteristic Polynomial and Matching Polynomial of Regular Graphs and its Applications
ABSTRACT. Suppose G is a graph, A(G) its adjacency matrix and f(G, x)=x^n+a_(n-1)x^(n-1)+... is the characteristic polynomial of G. The matching polynomial of G is defined as M(G, x) = x^n-m(G,1)x^(n-2) + ... where m(G,k) is the number of k-matchings in G. In this paper, we determine the relationship between 2k-th coefficient of characteristic polynomial, a_(2k), and k-th coefficient of matchin...
متن کاملDecomposing plane cubic graphs
It was conjectured by Hoffmann-Ostenhof that the edge set of every cubic graph can be decomposed into a spanning tree, a matching and a family of cycles. We prove the conjecture for 3-connected cubic plane graphs and 3-connected cubic graphs on the projective plane. Our proof provides a polynomial time algorithm to find the decomposition for 3-connected cubic plane graphs.
