Weighted and locally bounded list-colorings in split graphs, cographs, and partial k-trees
نویسنده
چکیده
For a fixed number of colors, we show that, in node-weighted split graphs, cographs, and graphs of bounded tree-width, one can determine in polynomial time whether a proper list-coloring of the vertices of a graph such that the total weight of vertices of each color equals a given value in each part of a fixed partition of the vertices exists. We also show that this result is tight in some sense, by providing hardness results for the cases where any one of the assumptions does not hold. The edge-coloring variant is also studied, as well as special cases of cographs and split graphs.

Parameterized Complexity of the List Coloring Reconfiguration Problem with Graph Parameters
Let G be a graph such that each vertex has its list of available colors, and assume that each list is a subset of the common set consisting of k colors. For two given list colorings of G, we study the problem of transforming one into the other by changing only one vertex color assignment at a time, while at all times maintaining a list coloring. This problem is known to be PSPACE-complete even ...
متن کاملA Linear Algorithm for Finding Total Colorings of Partial k-Trees
A total coloring of a graph G is a coloring of all elements of G, i.e. vertices and edges, in such a way that no two adjacent or incident elements receive the same color. The total coloring problem is to find a total coloring of a given graph with the minimum number of colors. Many combinatorial problems can be efficiently solved for partial k-trees, i.e., graphs with bounded tree-width. Howeve...
متن کاملColorings and Orientations of Matrices and Graphs
We introduce colorings and orientations of matrices as generalizations of the graph theoretic terms. The permanent per(A[ζ|ξ]) of certain copies A[ζ|ξ] of a matrix A can be expressed as a weighted sum over the orientations or the colorings of A . When applied to incidence matrices of graphs these equations include Alon and Tarsi’s theorem about Eulerian orientations and the existence of list co...
متن کاملAlgorithms for Finding Distance-Edge-Colorings of Graphs
For a bounded integer , we wish to color all edges of a graph G so that any two edges within distance have different colors. Such a coloring is called a distance-edge-coloring or an -edge-coloring of G. The distance-edge-coloring problem is to compute the minimum number of colors required for a distance-edge-coloring of a given graph G. A partial k-tree is a graph with tree-width bounded by a f...
متن کاملNot So Easy Problems for Tree Decomposable Graphs
We consider combinatorial problems for graphs that (a) can be solved in polynomial time for graphs of bounded treewidth and (b) where the order of the polynomial time bound is expected to depend on the treewidth of the considered graph. First we review some recent results for problems regarding list and equitable colorings, general factors, and generalized satisfiability. Second we establish a ...
