NP-hard graph problems and boundary classes of graphs
2007
Theoretical Computer Science
Any graph problem, which is NP-hard in general graphs, becomes polynomial-time solvable when restricted to graphs in special classes. When does a difficult problem become easy? ...
To answer this question we study the notion of boundary classes. ...

New results on maximum induced matchings in bipartite graphs and beyond
2013
Theoretical Computer Science
The maximum induced matching problem is known to be APX-hard in the class of bipartite graphs. ...
On the other hand, we show that for hypercubes (a proper subclass of regular bipartite graphs) the problem admits a simple solution. ...
Algorithms to obtain such kernels have been found in some subclasses of (K s , K t,t )-free graphs (see e.g. [28] ). ...

Acyclic Matching in Some Subclasses of Graphs
[chapter]
2020
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
A matching M in a graph G is called an acyclic matching if G[V (M )], the subgraph of G induced by the M -saturated vertices of G is acyclic. ...
In this paper, we strengthen this result by showing that the decision version of the Acyclic Matching Problem remains NPcomplete for comb-convex bipartite graphs and dually-chordal graphs. ...

Induced matchings in asteroidal triple-free graphs
2003
Discrete Applied Mathematics
An induced matching M of a graph G is a set of pairwise nonadjacent edges such that no two edges of M are joined by an edge in G. ...
In this paper, we study the maximum induced matching problem on classes of graphs related to AT-free graphs. ...
Note that the class of convex bipartite graphs properly contains bipartite permutation graphs as a subclass. ...

Graph classes and the switch Markov chain for matchings
2015
Annales de la Faculté des Sciences de Toulouse
The total number of perfect matchings in a bipartite graph G is the permanent, which we denote by per(A) when A = A(G). Acknowledgements. ...
To see that it is a subclass of chordal bipartite graphs, we permute rows so that β i ≤ β j when i < j. Now we can show that A(G) is -free. If not, there is a in some rows i, j and columns k , . ...
These are usually called chain graphs in the graph theory literature [38] . They are a proper subclass of monotone graphs, which we consider in Section 2.4, and hence of chordal bipartite graphs. ...

Statistical matching and subclassification with a continuous dose: characterization, algorithm, and application to a health outcomes study
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
We discuss how to incorporate dose and use appropriate penalties to control the number of subclasses in the design. ...
In this article, we propose two criteria for optimal subclassification based on subclass homogeneity in the context of having a continuous exposure dose, and propose an efficient polynomial-time algorithm ...
In the context of non-bipartite matching with a continuous dose, we may also want to have some control over the size of subclasses and hence how many subclasses in a subclassification. ...

Bi-induced sub graphs and stability number
2004
Yugoslav Journal of Operations Research
We define a 2-parametric hierarchy ( , ) m n CLAP of bi-hereditary classes of graphs, and show that a maximum stable set can be found in polynomial time within each class ( , ) m n CLAP . ...
The classes can be recognized in polynomial time. ...
In other words, a bi-induced subgraph F of a graph G is obtained from a bipartite induced sub graph F' of G by deleting some edges [possibly, none]. ...

Clique separator decomposition of hole-free and diamond-free graphs and algorithmic consequences
2012
Discrete Applied Mathematics
This yields efficient algorithms for various optimization problems in this class of graphs. ...
We show that every (hole, paraglider)-free graph admits a clique separator decomposition into graphs of three very specific types. ...
In a complete multipartite graph there is no induced matching of size 2, and in a matched co-bipartite graph there is no induced matching of size 3, so in either class the search for a maximum weight induced ...

On greedy matching ordering and greedy matchable graphs
[chapter]
1997
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We show that these graphs, called greedy matchable graphs, are a subclass of weakly triangulated graphs and contain strongly chordal graphs and chordal bipartite graphs as proper subclasses. ...
In this note a greedy algorithm is considered that computes a matching for a graph with a given ordering of its vertices, and those graphs are studied for which a vertex ordering exists such that the greedy ...
W'e give a characterization of greedy matching orderings in terms of forbidden induced suborderings and present some properties of greedy matchable graphs. ...

An attractive class of bipartite graphs
2001
Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory
In this paper we propose a structural characterization for a class of bipartite graphs defined by two forbidden induced subgraphs. ...
We show that the obtained characterization leads to polynomial-time algorithms for several problems that are NP-hard in general bipartite graphs. ...
Note that all the listed classes are subclasses of chordal bipartite graphs, i.e., bipartite graphs without induced cycles of length more than 4. ...

The Micro-world of Cographs
[chapter]
2020
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
In the present paper, we identify several milestones in the world of cographs and create a hierarchy of graph parameters grounded on these milestones. ...
Cographs constitute a small point in the atlas of graph classes. However, by zooming in on this point, we discover a complex world, where many parameters jump from finiteness to infinity. ...
This is the class of (P 3 , K 3 )-free graphs, i.e., the class of bipartite graphs in U. S the class of stars, i.e., graphs of the form K 1,n and their induced subgraphs. ...

Induced matchings in strongly biconvex graphs and some algebraic applications

2019

In this paper, motivated by a question posed in AH, we introduce strongly biconvex graphs as a subclass of weakly chordal and bipartite graphs. ...
We give a linear time algorithm to find an induced matching for such graphs and we prove that this algorithm indeed gives a maximum induced matching. ...
