Colouring Square-Free Graphs without Long Induced Paths
[article]
2018
arXiv
pre-print
The complexity of Colouring is fully understood for H-free graphs, but there are still major complexity gaps if two induced subgraphs H_1 and H_2 are forbidden. ...
As a complementary result we prove that Colouring is -complete for s=4 and t≥ 9, which is the first hardness result on Colouring for (C_4,P_t)-free graphs. ...
Initially we proved NP-hardness of Colouring for (C 4 , P 16 )-free graphs. Afterwards we were able to improve this result to (C 4 , P 9 )-free graphs via a simplification of our construction. ...

Colouring Square-Free Graphs without Long Induced Paths

Our algorithm is based on a novel decomposition theorem for (C 4 , P 6)-free graphs without clique cutsets into homogeneous pairs of sets and a new framework for bounding the clique-width of a graph by ...

Anagram-free colourings of graph subdivisions
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
A vertex colouring of a graph is anagram-free if no subpath of the graph is an anagram. Anagram-free graph colouring was independently introduced by Kamčev, Łuczak and Sudakov and ourselves. ...
In this paper we introduce the study of anagram-free colourings of graph subdivisions. We show that every graph has an anagram-free 8-colourable subdivision. ...
Let u be the other endpoint of α, P α be the path induced by the division vertices of α, and P β be the path induced by the division vertices of β. Then uP α vP β is an anagram in S. ...

Colourability and word-representability of near-triangulations
2019
Pure Mathematics and Applications
It is known [6] that all 3-colourable graphs are word-representable, while among those with a higher chromatic number some are word-representable while others are not. ...
A graph G = (V;E) is word-representable if there is a word w over the alphabet V such that x and y alternate in w if and only if the edge (x; y) is in G. ...
Lemma 2.2 Let x be a vertex of odd degree in a graph G, and suppose the neighbours of x induce a path P . In any 3-colouring of G, the end-points of P must have the same colour. Proof. ...

Anagram-free Graph Colouring
[article]
2017
arXiv
pre-print
We study anagram-free graph colouring and give bounds on the chromatic number. Alon et al. (2002) asked whether anagram-free chromatic number is bounded by a function of the maximum degree. ...
Finally, we explore extensions to edge colouring and k-anagram-free colouring. ...
Note At the same time as the present paper was completed, Kamčev, Łuczak, and Sudakov [15] posted a paper on the arXiv that independently introduces anagram-free graph colouring. ...

On the Complexity of Rolling Block and Alice Mazes
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
The question of the complexity with only 2 × 1 × 1 blocks, and without forbidden squares was left open-see also [9] . ...
A slightly different variant are colour mazes, where the fields of playing board are coloured, and the block may only come to lie on a uni-coloured area. ...
Since all paths, the block should roll along, are embedded by this alternating colour structure, the block cannot leave the path from an upright position, for it needs two uni-coloured squares to lie on ...

Finding a maximum induced matching in weakly chordal graphs
2003
Discrete Mathematics
It is known that ÿnding an induced matching of maximum cardinality in a graph is NP-hard. We show that a maximum induced matching in a weakly chordal graph can be found in polynomial time. ...
An induced matching in a graph G is a set of edges, no two of which meet a common vertex or are joined by an edge of G; that is, an induced matching is a matching which forms an induced subgraph. ...
In the following lemma, we prove that if G had no long induced cycles, then G * does not have long induced cycles either. Lemma 2. ...

Fibrations of graphs
2002
Discrete Mathematics
A ÿbration of graphs is a morphism that is a local isomorphism of in-neighbourhoods, much in the same way a covering projection is a local isomorphism of neighbourhoods. ...
This paper develops systematically the theory of graph ÿbrations, emphasizing in particular those results that recently found application in the theory of distributed systems. ...
Moreover, it is naturally coloured on the set S -the s-induced arc from Hg to Hgs is coloured by s; such a graph is called the Schreier colour graph of with respect to H and S. ...
