Locally Constrained Homomorphisms on Graphs of Bounded Treewidth and Bounded Degree

چکیده
A homomorphism from a graph G to a graph H is locally bijective, surjective, or injective if its restriction to the neighborhood of every vertex of G is bijective, surjective, or injective, respectively. We prove that the problems of testing whether a given graph G allows a homomorphism to a given graph H that is locally bijective, surjective, or injective, respectively, are NP-complete, even when G has pathwidth at most 5, 4, or 2, respectively, or when both G and H have maximum degree 3. We complement these hardness results by showing that the three problems are polynomial-time solvable if G has bounded treewidth and in addition G or H has bounded maximum degree.

Algorithms for Graphs of (Locally) Bounded Treewidth
Many real-life problems can be modeled by graph-theoretic problems. These graph problems are usually NP-hard and hence there is no efficient algorithm for solving them, unless P= NP. One way to overcome this hardness is to solve the problems when restricted to special graphs. Trees are one kind of graph for which several NP-complete problems can be solved in polynomial time. Graphs of bounded t...
متن کاملHomomorphisms on Topological Groups from the Perspective of Bourbaki-boundedness
In this note we study some topological properties of bounded sets and Bourbaki-bounded sets. Also we introduce two types of Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms on topological groups including, n$-$Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms and$hspace{1mm}$ B$-$Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms. We compare them to each other and with the class of continuous homomorphisms. So, two topologies are presented on them a...
متن کاملDegree-constrained decompositions of graphs: Bounded treewidth and planarity
We study the problem of decomposing the vertex set V of a graph into two nonempty parts V1, V2 which induce subgraphs where each vertex v ∈ V1 has degree at least a(v) inside V1 and each v ∈ V2 has degree at least b(v) inside V2. We give a polynomialtime algorithm for graphs with bounded treewidth which decides if a graph admits a decomposition, and gives such a decomposition if it exists. This...
متن کاملParameterized Complexity of the Smallest Degree-Constrained Subgraph Problem
In this paper we study the problem of finding an induced subgraph of size at most k with minimum degree at least d for a given graph G, from the parameterized complexity perspective. We call this problem Minimum Subgraph of Minimum Degree ≥d (MSMDd). For d = 2 it corresponds to finding a shortest cycle of the graph. Our main motivation to study this problem is its strong relation to Dense k-Sub...
متن کاملPlanar Graphs and Partial k-Trees
It is well-known that many NP-hard problems can be solved efficiently on graphs of bounded treewidth. We begin by showing that Knuth’s results on nested satisfiability are easily derived from this fact since nested satisfiability graphs have treewidth at most three. Noting that nested satisfiability graphs have a particular form of planar drawing, we define a more general form of graph drawing ...
