NP-Completeness of Hamiltonian Cycle Problem on Rooted Directed Path Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Hamiltonian cycle problem is to decide whether a given graph has a Hamiltonian cycle. Bertossi and Bonuccelli (1986, Information Processing Letters, 23, 195200) proved that the Hamiltonian Cycle Problem is NP-Complete even for undirected path graphs and left the Hamiltonian cycle problem open for directed path graphs. Narasimhan (1989, Information Processing Letters, 32, 167-170) proved that the Hamiltonian Cycle Problem is NP-Complete even for directed path graphs and left the Hamiltonian cycle problem open for rooted directed path graphs. In this paper we resolve this open problem by proving that the Hamiltonian Cycle Problem is also NP-Complete for rooted directed path graphs.

Hamiltonian Path in Split Graphs- a Dichotomy
In this paper, we investigate Hamiltonian path problem in the context of split graphs, and produce a dichotomy result on the complexity of the problem. Our main result is a deep investigation of the structure of $K_{1,4}$-free split graphs in the context of Hamiltonian path problem, and as a consequence, we obtain a polynomial-time algorithm to the Hamiltonian path problem in $K_{1,4}$-free spl...
متن کاملThe NP-Completeness of the Hamiltonian Cycle Problem in Planar Digraphs with Degree Bound Two
The notation and terminology follow Harary [4 1. A hamiltonian cycle in a graph or digraph is a cycle containing all the points. Thus any such cycle has p points as well asp lines (arcs) if the graph (digraph) has p points. No elegant characterization of the graphs or digraphs which possess hamiltonian cycies exists, although the problem is at least one hundred years old [4]. As the problem is ...
متن کاملHamiltonian Cycles in Triangle Graphs
We prove that the Hamiltonian cycle problem is NP complete for a class of planar graphs named triangle graphs that are closely related to inner triangulated graphs We present a linear time heuristic algorithm that nds a solution at most one third longer than the optimum solution and use it to obtain a fast rendering algorithm on triangular meshes in computer graphics
متن کاملHamiltonicity in Split Graphs - A Dichotomy
In this paper, we investigate the well-studied Hamiltonian cycle problem, and present an interesting dichotomy result on split graphs. T. Akiyama, T. Nishizeki, and N. Saito [22] have shown that the Hamiltonian cycle problem is NP-complete in planar bipartite graph with maximum degree 3. Using this reduction, we show that the Hamiltonian cycle problem is NP-complete in split graphs. In particul...
متن کاملNP Completeness , Part 2
Example 1 Undirected Hamiltonian Path (UHP) and Undirected Hamiltonian Circuit (UHC) are the same problems as the corresponding problems for directed graphs, but the new problems are for undirected graphs. Claim 2 Given a polynomial time algorithm for Undirected Hamiltonian Path (UHP) there is a polynomial time algorithm for Directed Hamiltonian Path. 1. A DHP builds the triple (H, p, q), where...
