چکیده

In recent articles by Grohe and Marx, the treewidth of the line graph of a complete graph is a critical example—in a certain sense, every graph with large treewidth “contains” L(Kn). However, the treewidth of L(Kn) was not determined exactly. We determine the exact treewidth of the line graph of a complete graph. C © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Graph Theory 00: 1–7,

Line completion number of grid graph Pn × Pm

The concept of super line graph was introduced in the year 1995 by Bagga, Beineke and Varma. Given a graph with at least r edges, the super line graph of index r, Lr(G), has as its vertices the sets of r-edges of G, with two adjacent if there is an edge in one set adjacent to an edge in the other set. The line completion number lc(G) of a graph G is the least positive integer r for which Lr(G) ...

Line graphs associated to the maximal graph

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity. Let $G(R)$ denote the maximal graph associated to $R$, i.e., $G(R)$ is a graph with vertices as the elements of $R$, where two distinct vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if there is a maximal ideal of $R$ containing both. Let $Gamma(R)$ denote the restriction of $G(R)$ to non-unit elements of $R$. In this paper we study the various graphi...

Treewidth of Line Graphs

We determine the exact treewidth of the line graph of the complete graph. More generally, we determine the exact treewidth of the line graph of a regular complete multipartite graph. For an arbitrary complete multipartite graph, we determine the treewidth of the line graph up to a lower order term.

The Treewidth of Line Graphs

The treewidth of a graph is an important invariant in structural and algorithmic graph theory. This paper studies the treewidth of line graphs. We show that determining the treewidth of the line graph of a graph G is equivalent to determining the minimum vertex congestion of an embedding of G into a tree. Using this result, we prove sharp lower bounds in terms of both the minimum degree and ave...

Combinatorial Auctions with Structured Item Graphs

Combinatorial auctions (CAs) are important mechanisms for allocating interrelated items. Unfortunately, winner determination is NP-complete unless there is special structure. We study the setting where there is a graph (with some desired property), with the items as vertices, and every bid bids on a connected set of items. Two computational problems arise: 1) clearing the auction when given the...
