Bounded degree acyclic decompositions of digraphs

چکیده

An acyclic decomposition of a digraph is a partition of the edges into acyclic subgraphs. Trivially every digraph has an acyclic decomposition into two subgraphs. It is proved that for every integer sX2 every digraph has an acyclic decomposition into s subgraphs such that in each subgraph the outdegree of each vertex v is at most degðvÞ s 1 l m : For all digraphs this degree bound is optimal. r 2003 Elsevier Inc.

On the complexity of the multicut problem in bounded tree-width graphs and digraphs

Given an edgeor vertex-weighted graph or digraph and a list of source-sink pairs, the minimum multicut problem consists in selecting a minimum weight set of edges or vertices whose removal leaves no path from each source to the corresponding sink. This is a classical NPhard problem, and we show that the edge version becomes tractable in bounded tree-width graphs if the number of source-sink pai...

THE RELATION BETWEEN TOPOLOGICAL ORDERING AND ADJACENCY MATRIX IN DIGRAPHS

In this paper the properties of node-node adjacency matrix in acyclic digraphs are considered. It is shown that topological ordering and node-node adjacency matrix are closely related. In fact, first the one to one correspondence between upper triangularity of node-node adjacency matrix and existence of directed cycles in digraphs is proved and then with this correspondence other properties of ...

Digraph Decompositions and Monotonicity in Digraph Searching

We consider monotonicity problems for graph searching games. Variants of these games – defined by the type of moves allowed for the players – have been found to be closely connected to graph decompositions and associated width measures such as pathor tree-width. Of particular interest is the question whether these games are monotone, i.e. whether the cops can catch a robber without ever allowin...

Directed width parameters and circumference of digraphs

Brooks-type Results for Coloring of Digraphs

In the thesis, the coloring of digraphs is studied. The chromatic number of a digraph D is the smallest integer k so that the vertices of D can be partitioned into at most k sets each of which induces an acyclic subdigraph. A set of four topics on the chromatic number is presented. First, the dependence of the chromatic number of digraphs on the maximum degree is explored. An analog of Gallai’s...
