Grad and classes with bounded expansion III. Restricted graph homomorphism dualities
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study restricted homomorphism dualities in the context of classes with bounded expansion. This presents a generalization of restricted dualities obtained earlier for bounded degree graphs and also for proper minor closed classes. This is related to distance coloring of graphs and to the “approximative version” of Hadwiger conjecture.

First order properties on nowhere dense structures
A set A of vertices of a graph G is called d-scattered in G if no two d-neighborhoods of (distinct) vertices of A intersect. In other words, A is d-scattered if no two distinct vertices of A have distance at most 2d. This notion was isolated in the context of finite model theory by Gurevich and recently it played a prominent role in the study of homomorphism preservation theorems for special cl...
متن کاملMany Facets of Dualities
In this paper we survey results related to homomorphism dualities for graphs, and more generally, for finite structures. This is related to some of the classical combinatorial problems, such as colorings of graphs and hypergraphs, and also to recently intensively studied Constraint Satisfaction Problems. On the other side dualities are related to the descriptive complexity and First Order defin...
متن کاملCharacterisations and examples of graph classes with bounded expansion
Classes with bounded expansion, which generalise classes that exclude a topological minor, have recently been introduced by Nešetřil and Ossona de Mendez. These classes are defined by the fact that the maximum average degree of a shallow minor of a graph in the class is bounded by a function of the depth of the shallow minor. Several linear-time algorithms are known for bounded expansion classe...

متن کاملNP by Means of Lifts and Shadows
We show that every NP problem is polynomially equivalent to a simple combinatorial problem: the membership problem for a special class of digraphs. These classes are defined by means of shadows (projections) and by finitely many forbidden colored (lifted) subgraphs. Our characterization is motivated by the analysis of syntactical subclasses with the full computational power of NP, which were fi...
