Consider a tripartite graph to be any simple graph that admits a proper vertex coloring in at most 3 colors. Let \(G\) be a tripartite graph with \(n\) edges, one of which is a pendent edge. This paper introduces a labeling on such a graph \(G\) used to achieve 1-rotational \(G\)-decompositions of \(K_{2nt}\) for any positive integer \(t\). It is also shown that if \(G\) with a pendent edge is the result of adding an edge to a path on \(n\) vertices, then \(G\) admits such a labeling.

Suppose the edges and the vertices of a simple graph $G$ are assigned $k$-element lists of real weights. By choosing a representative of each list, we specify a vertex colouring, where for each vertex its colour is defined as the sum of the weights of its incident edges and the weight of the vertex itself. How long lists ensures a choice implying a proper vertex colouring for any graph? Is there any finite bound or maybe already lists of length two are sufficient? We prove that $2$-element lists are enough for trees, wheels, unicyclic and complete graphs, while the ones of length $3$ are sufficient for complete bipartite graphs. Our main tool is an algebraic theorem by Alon called Combinatorial Nullstellensatz.

Orienteering problem (OP) is an NP-Hard graph problem. The nodes of the graph are associated with scores or rewards and the edges with time delays. The goal is to obtain a Hamiltonian path connecting the two necessary check points, i.e. the source and the target along with a set of control points such that the total collected score is maximized within a specified time limit. OP finds application in several fields like logistics, transportation networks, tourism industry, etc. Most of the existing algorithms for OP can only be applied on complete graphs that satisfy the triangle inequality. Real-life scenario does not guarantee that there exists a direct link between all control point pairs or the triangle inequality is satisfied. To provide a more practical solution, we propose a stochastic greedy algorithm (RWS_OP) that uses the roulette wheel selectionmethod, does not require that the triangle inequality condition is satisfied and is capable of handling both complete as well as incomplete graphs. Based on several experiments on standard benchmark data we show that RWS_OP is faster, more efficient in terms of time budget utilization and achieves a better performance in terms of the total collected score ascompared to a recently reported algorithm for incomplete graphs.

Finding locally optimal solutions for MAX-CUT and MAX- k -CUT are well-known PLS-complete problems. An instinctive approach to finding such a locally optimum solution is the FLIP method. Even though FLIP requires exponential time in worst-case instances, it tends to terminate quickly in practical instances. To explain this discrepancy, the run-time of FLIP has been studied in the smoothed complexity framework. Etscheid and Röglin (ACM Transactions on Algorithms, 2017) showed that the smoothed complexity of FLIP for max-cut in arbitrary graphs is quasi-polynomial. Angel, Bubeck, Peres, and Wei (STOC, 2017) showed that the smoothed complexity of FLIP for max-cut in complete graphs is ( O Φ 5 n 15.1 ), where Φ is an upper bound on the random edge-weight density and Φ is the number of vertices in the input graph. While Angel, Bubeck, Peres, and Wei’s result showed the first polynomial smoothed complexity, they also conjectured that their run-time bound is far from optimal. In this work, we make substantial progress toward improving the run-time bound. We prove that the smoothed complexity of FLIP for max-cut in complete graphs is O (Φ n 7.83 ). Our results are based on a carefully chosen matrix whose rank captures the run-time of the method along with improved rank bounds for this matrix and an improved union bound based on this matrix. In addition, our techniques provide a general framework for analyzing FLIP in the smoothed framework. We illustrate this general framework by showing that the smoothed complexity of FLIP for MAX-3-CUT in complete graphs is polynomial and for MAX - k - CUT in arbitrary graphs is quasi-polynomial. We believe that our techniques should also be of interest toward showing smoothed polynomial complexity of FLIP for MAX - k - CUT in complete graphs for larger constants k .

Abstract A (not necessarily proper) vertex colouring of a graph has clustering c if every monochromatic component has at most c vertices. We prove that planar graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ are 3-colourable with clustering $O(\Delta^2)$ . The previous best bound was $O(\Delta^{37})$ . This result for planar graphs generalises to graphs that can be drawn on a surface of bounded Euler genus with a bounded number of crossings per edge. We then prove that graphs with maximum degree $\Delta$ that exclude a fixed minor are 3-colourable with clustering $O(\Delta^5)$ . The best previous bound for this result was exponential in $\Delta$ .
