Finding Regular Subgraphs in Both Arbitrary and Planar Graphs

چکیده

We show that the problems of deciding whether an arbitrary graph has a k-regular subgraph, for some given k 3; of deciding whether a planar graph has a quartic subgraph; and of deciding whether a planar graph has a quintic subgraph, are complete for NP via logspace reductions. There are no regular planar graphs of degree greater than 5.

Packing and Squeezing Subgraphs into Planar Graphs

We consider the following problem: Given a set S of graphs, each of n vertices, construct an nvertex planar graph G containing all the graphs of S as subgraphs. We distinguish the variant in which any two graphs of S are required to have disjoint edges in G (known as ’packing’) from the variant in which distinct graphs of S can share edges in G (called ’squeezing’). About the packing variant we...

Approximate Minimum 2-Connected Subgraphs in Weighted Planar Graphs

We consider the problems of finding the minimum-weight 2-connected spanning subgraph in edge-weighted planar graphs and its variations. We first give a PTAS for the problem of finding minimum-weight 2-edge-connected spanning subgraphs where duplicate edges are allowed. Then we present a new greedy spanner construction for edge-weighted planar graphs. From this we derive quasi-polynomial time ap...

Maximum Weighted Induced Bipartite Subgraphs and Acyclic Subgraphs of Planar Cubic Graphs

We study the node-deletion problem consisting of finding a maximum weighted induced bipartite subgraph of a planar graph with maximum degree three. We show that this is polynomially solvable. It was shown in [4] that it is NP-complete if the maximum degree is four. We also extend these ideas to the problem of balancing signed graphs. We also consider maximum weighted induced acyclic subgraphs o...

OPTIMAL ANALYSIS OF NON-REGULAR GRAPHS USING THE RESULTS OF REGULAR MODELS VIA AN ITERATIVE METHOD

In this paper an efficient method is developed for the analysis of non-regular graphs which contain regular submodels. A model is called regular if it can be expressed as the product of two or three subgraphs. Efficient decomposition methods are available in the literature for the analysis of some classes of regular models. In the present method, for a non-regular model, first the nodes of th...
