      It is well known that the celebrated Lipton-Tarjan planar separation theorem, in a combination with a divide-and-conquer strategy leads to many complexity results for planar graph problems. For example, by using this ...

      We generalize the notion of non-crossing partition on a disk to general surfaces with boundary. For this, we consider a surface S and introduce the number CS(n) of noncrossing partitions of a set of n points laying on the ...

      Accés obert
      For several graph theoretic parameters such as vertex cover and dominating set, it is known that if their values are bounded by k then the treewidth of the graph is bounded by some function of k. This fact is used as the ...

      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      This paper is concerned with the graph searching game. The search number es(G) of a graph G is the smallest number of searchers required to clear G. A search strategy is monotone (m) if no recontamination ever occurs. It ...

      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      In graph searching game the opponents are a set of searchers and a fugitive in a graph. The searchers try to capture the fugitive by applying some sequence moves that include placement, removal, or sliding of a searcher ...

    • Constructive linear time algorithms for branchwidth 

      Thilikos Touloupas, Dimitrios; Bodlaender, Hans L. (2000-10)
      Report de recerca
      Accés obert
      We prove that, for any fixed k, one can construct a linear time algorithm that checks if a graph has branchwidth at most k and, if so, outputs a branch decomposition of minimum width.
