In the context of integrated transportation and other urban engineering infrastructure systems, there are many examples of markets, where consumers exhibit price-taking behaviour. While this behaviour is ubiquitous, the underlying mechanism can be captured ...
Let G=(V,E)G=(V,E) be a graph in which every vertex v∈Vv∈V has a weight w(v)⩾0w(v)⩾0 and a cost c(v)⩾0c(v)⩾0. Let SGSG be the family of all maximum-weight stable sets in G . For any integer d⩾0d⩾0, a minimum d-transversal in the graph G with respect to SGS ...
We consider a set V of elements and an optimization problem on V: the search for a maximum (or minimum) cardinality subset of V verifying a given property a"similar to. A d-transversal is a subset of V which intersects any optimum solution in at least d el ...
The split-coloring problem is a generalized vertex coloring problem where we partition the vertices into a minimum number of split graphs. In this paper, we study some notions which are extensively studied for the usual vertex coloring and the cocoloring p ...
We study complexity and approximation of MIN WEIGHTED NODE COLORING in planar, bipartite and split graphs. We show that this problem is NP-hard in planar graphs, even if they are triangle-free and their maximum degree is bounded above by 4. Then, we prove ...
Computing the weighted coloring number of graphs is a classical topic in combinatorics and graph theory. Recently these problems have again attracted a lot of attention for the class of quasi-line graphs and more specifically fuzzy circular interval graphs ...
Polar graphs are a natural extension of some classes of graphs like bipartite graphs, split graphs and complements of bipartite graphs. A graph is (s, k)-polar if there exists a partition A, B of its vertex set such that A induces a complete s-partite grap ...
Graph theory is an important topic in discrete mathematics. It is particularly interesting because it has a wide range of applications. Among the main problems in graph theory, we shall mention the following ones: graph coloring and the Hamiltonian circuit ...
Graph theory experienced a remarkable increase of interest among the scientific community during the last decades. The vertex coloring problem (Min Coloring) deserves a particular attention rince it has been able to capture a wide variety of applications. ...
Graph Coloring is a very active field of research in graph theory as well as in the domain of the design of efficient heuristics to solve problems which, due to their computational complexity, cannot be solved exactly (no guarantee that an optimal solution ...
