A circle n-gon is the region between n or fewer non-crossing chords of a circle, no chord connecting the arcs between two other chords; the sides of a circle n-gon are either chords or arcs of the circle. A circle n-gon graph is the intersection graph of a family of circle n-gons in a circle. The family of circle trapezoid graphs is exactly the family of circle 2-gon graphs and the family of circle graphs is exactly the family of circle 1-gon graphs. The family of circle n-gon graphs contains the polygon-circle graphs which have an intersection representation by circle polygons, each polygon with at most n chords. We describe a polynomial time algorithm to find a minimum weight feedback vertex set, or equivalently, a maximum weight induced forest, in a circle n-gon graph with positive weights, when its intersection model by n-gon-interval-filaments is given.

Dominating Function

Let [Formula: see text] be an integer, and let [Formula: see text] be a graph. A k-rainbow dominating function (or [Formula: see text]RDF) of [Formula: see text] is a function [Formula: see text] from the vertex set [Formula: see text] to the family of all subsets of [Formula: see text] such that for very [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], the condition [Formula: see text] is fulfilled, where [Formula: see text] is the open neighborhood of [Formula: see text]. The weight of a [Formula: see text]RDF [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is the value [Formula: see text]. A k-rainbow dominating function [Formula: see text] in a graph with no isolated vertex is called a total k-rainbow dominating function if the subgraph of [Formula: see text] induced by the set [Formula: see text] has no isolated vertices. The total k-rainbow domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum weight of the total [Formula: see text]-rainbow dominating function on [Formula: see text]. The total k-rainbow reinforcement number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum number of edges that must be added to [Formula: see text] in order to decrease the total k-rainbow domination number. In this paper, we investigate the properties of total [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number in graphs. In particular, we present some sharp bounds for [Formula: see text] and we determine the total [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number of some classes of graphs including paths, cycles and complete bipartite graphs.

Our purpose is to study the family of simple undirected graphs whose toric ideal is a complete intersection from both an algorithmic and a combinatorial point of view. We obtain a polynomial time algorithm that, given a graph G, checks whether its toric ideal PG is a complete intersection or not. Whenever PG is a complete intersection, the algorithm also returns a minimal set of generators of PG. Moreover, we prove that if G is a connected graph and PG is a complete intersection, then there exist two induced subgraphs R and C of G such that the vertex set V(G) of G is the disjoint union of V(R) and V(C), where R is a bipartite ring graph and C is either the empty graph, an odd primitive cycle, or consists of two odd primitive cycles properly connected. Finally, if R is 2-connected and C is connected, we list the families of graphs whose toric ideals are complete intersection.

Let Ψ(G) be the family of all local maximum stable sets of graph G, i.e., S ∈ Ψ(G) if S is a maximum stable set of the subgraph induced by S ∪ N(S), where N(S) is the neighborhood of S. It was shown that Ψ(G) is a greedoid for every forest G [15]. The cases of bipartite graphs, triangle-free graphs, and well-covered graphs, were analyzed in [16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 24]. If G1, G2 are two disjoint graphs, and B is a bipartite graph having E(B) as an edge set and bipartition {V (G1), V (G2)}, then by B-join of G1, G2 we mean the graph B (G1, G2) whose vertex set is V (G1) ∪ V (G2) and edge set is E(G1) ∪ E(G2) ∪ E (B). In this paper we present several necessary and sufficient conditions for Ψ(B (G1, G2)) to form a greedoid, an antimatroid, and a matroid, in terms of Ψ(G1), Ψ(G2) and E (B).

AbstractWe consider three problems concerning alpha conversion of closed terms (combinators).(1) Given a combinator M find the an alpha convert of M with a smallest number of distinct variables.(2) Given two alpha convertible combinators M and N find a shortest alpha conversion of M to N.(3) Given two alpha convertible combinators M and N find an alpha conversion of M to N which uses the smallest number of variables possible along the way.We obtain the following results.(1) There is a polynomial time algorithm for solving problem (1). It is reducible to vertex coloring of chordal graphs.(2) Problem (2) is co-NP complete (in recognition form). The general feedback vertex set problem for digraphs is reducible to problem (2).(3) At most one variable besides those occurring in both M and N is necessary. This appears to be the folklore but the proof is not familiar. A polynomial time algorithm for the alpha conversion of M to N using at most one extra variable is given.There is a tradeoff between solutions to problem (2) and problem (3) which we do not fully understand.

Internal Angle

Consider a set X of points in the plane and a set E of non-crossing segments with endpoints in X. One can efficiently compute the triangulation of the convex hull of the points, which uses X as the vertex set, respects E, and maximizes the minimum internal angle of a triangle. In this paper we consider a natural extension of this problem: Given in addition a Steiner pointp, determine the optimal location of p and a triangulation of X ∪ {p} respecting E, which is best among all triangulations and placements of p in terms of maximizing the minimum internal angle of a triangle. We present a polynomial-time algorithm for this problem and then extend our solution to handle any constant number of Steiner points.

Let [Formula: see text] be a positive integer and [Formula: see text] be a simple graph. A restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow dominating function (R[Formula: see text]RDF) of [Formula: see text] is a function [Formula: see text] from the vertex set [Formula: see text] to the family of all subsets of [Formula: see text], such that every vertex [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] satisfies both of the conditions [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] simultaneously, where [Formula: see text] denotes the open neighborhood of [Formula: see text]. The weight of an R[Formula: see text]RDF is the value [Formula: see text]. The restrained[Formula: see text]-rainbow domination number of [Formula: see text], denoted by [Formula: see text], is the minimum weight of an R[Formula: see text]RDF of [Formula: see text]. The restrained[Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text], is defined to be the minimum number of edges that must be added to [Formula: see text] in order to decrease the restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow domination number. In this paper, we determine the restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number of some special classes of graphs. Also, we present some bounds on the restrained [Formula: see text]-rainbow reinforcement number of general graphs.

Mixed Hypergraph

A mixed hypergraph $H$ is a triple $(V,{\cal C},{\cal D})$ where $V$ is its vertex set and ${\cal C}$ and ${\cal D}$ are families of subsets of $V$, ${\cal C}$–edges and ${\cal D}$–edges. A mixed hypergraph is a bihypergraph iff ${\cal C}={\cal D}$. A hypergraph is planar if its bipartite incidence graph is planar. A vertex coloring of $H$ is proper if each ${\cal C}$–edge contains two vertices with the same color and each ${\cal D}$–edge contains two vertices with different colors. The set of all $k$'s for which there exists a proper coloring using exactly $k$ colors is the feasible set of $H$; the feasible set is called gap-free if it is an interval. The minimum (maximum) number of the feasible set is called a lower (upper) chromatic number. We prove that the feasible set of any planar mixed hypergraph without edges of size two and with an edge of size at least four is gap-free. We further prove that a planar mixed hypergraph with at most two ${\cal D}$–edges of size two is two-colorable. We describe a polynomial-time algorithm to decide whether the lower chromatic number of a planar mixed hypergraph equals two. We prove that it is NP-complete to find the upper chromatic number of a mixed hypergraph even for 3-uniform planar bihypergraphs. In order to prove the latter statement, we prove that it is NP-complete to determine whether a planar 3-regular bridgeless graph contains a $2$-factor with at least a given number of components.

The study of the computational complexity of problems on graphs is an urgent problem. We show that the problem of deciding whether the vertex set of a given split graph of order 3n can be partitioned into induced subgraphs isomorphic to P3 is a polynomially solvable problem. We develop a polynomial-time algorithm based on the method of augmenting graphs. The developed efficient algorithm can be used for solving team formation problems.
