The mixed dominating set problem is MAX SNP-hard
نویسنده
چکیده
Given a graph G = (V,E), a mixed dominating set MD of G is defined to be a subset of V ∪ E such that every element in {(V ∪E)\MD} is either adjacent or incident to an element of MD. The mixed dominating set problem is to find a mixed dominating set with minimum cardinality. This problem is NP-hard. In this paper, we prove that this problem is MAX SNP-hard.

Applications of the Linear Matroid Parity Algorithm to Approximating Steiner Trees
The Steiner tree problem in unweighted graphs requires to find a minimum size connected subgraph containing a given subset of nodes (terminals). In this paper we investigate applications of the linear matroid parity algorithm to the Steiner tree problem for two classes of graphs: where the terminals form a vertex cover and where terminals form a dominating set. As all these problems are MAX-SNP...
متن کاملSubexponential Parameterized Algorithms Collapse the W - hierarchy ∗ ( Extended
It is shown that for essentially all MAX SNP-hard optimization problems finding exact solutions in subexponential time is not possible unless W [1] = FPT . In particular, we show that O(2p(n)) parameterized algorithms do not exist for Vertex Cover, Max Cut, Max c-Sat, and a number of problems on bounded degree graphs such as Dominating Set and Independent Set, unless W [1] = FPT . Our results a...
متن کاملMixed Roman domination and 2-independence in trees
Let $G=(V, E)$ be a simple graph with vertex set $V$ and edge set $E$. A {em mixed Roman dominating function} (MRDF) of $G$ is a function $f:Vcup Erightarrow {0,1,2}$ satisfying the condition that every element $xin Vcup E$ for which $f(x)=0$ is adjacentor incident to at least one element $yin Vcup E$ for which $f(y)=2$. The weight of anMRDF $f$ is $sum _{xin Vcup E} f(x)$. The mi...
متن کاملMax-leaves spanning tree is APX-hard for cubic graphs
We consider the problem of finding a spanning tree with maximum number of leaves (MaxLeaf). A 2-approximation algorithm is known for this problem, and a 3/2-approximation algorithm when restricted to graphs where every vertex has degree 3 (cubic graphs). MaxLeaf is known to be APX-hard in general, and NP-hard for cubic graphs. We show that the problem is also APX-hard for cubic graphs. The APX-...
متن کاملOn Syntactic versus Computational Views of Approximability
We attempt to reconcile the two distinct views of approximationclasses: syntactic and computational. Syntactic classes such as MAX SNP permit structural results and have natural complete problems, while computational classes such as APX allow us to work with classes of problems whose approximability is well-understood. Our results provide a syntactic characterization of computational classes, a...
