Packing and covering the complete graph with cubes
نویسندگان
چکیده
A decomposition of Kn \L, the complete graph of order n with a subgraph L (called the leave) removed, into edge disjoint copies of a graph G is called a maximum packing of Kn with G if L contains as few edges as possible. A decomposition of Kn U P, the complete graph union a graph P (called the padding), into edge disjoint copies of a graph G is called a minimum covering of Kn with G if P contains as few edges as possible. We construct maximum packings and minimum coverings of Kn with the 3-cube for all n.

Packing and Covering by Translates of Certain Nonconvex Bodies
We develop techniques for determining the packing and covering constants for star bodies composed of cubes. In the theory of convex sets problems of tiling, packing, and covering by translates of a given set have a long history, with the main focus on the packing and covering by spheres. Only in a few cases is the densest packing or sparsest covering known, even in the case of the sphere, excep...
متن کاملDifferential Approximation Algorithms for Some Combinatorial Optimization Problems
We use a new approximation measure, the differential approximation ratio, to derive polynomial-time approximation algorithms for minimum set covering (for both weighted and unweighted cases), minimum graph coloring and bin-packing. We also propose differentialapproximation-ratio preserving reductions linking minimum coloring, minimum vertex covering by cliques, minimum edge covering by cliques ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Greedy Algorithm for Vertex Covering of Random Graph by Cubes
We study randomly induced subgraphs G of a hypercube. Specifically, we investigate vertex covering of G by cubes. We instantiate a greedy algorithm for this problem from general hypergraph covering algorithm [9], and estimate the length of vertex covering of G. In order to obtain this result, a number of theoretical parameters of randomly induced subgraph G were estimated.
متن کاملCube packings, second moment and holes
We consider tilings and packings of R by integral translates of cubes [0, 2[, which are 4Z-periodic. Such cube packings can be described by cliques of an associated graph, which allow us to classify them in dimension d ≤ 4. For higher dimension, we use random methods for generating some examples. Such a cube packing is called non-extendible if we cannot insert a cube in the complement of the pa...
متن کاملThe topological ordering of covering nodes
The topological ordering algorithm sorts nodes of a directed graph such that the order of the tail of each arc is lower than the order of its head. In this paper, we introduce the notion of covering between nodes of a directed graph. Then, we apply the topological orderingalgorithm on graphs containing the covering nodes. We show that there exists a cut set withforward arcs in these...
