A linear time algorithm to list the minimal separators of chordal graphs

A set D ⊆ V is a restrained dominating set of a graph G = (V, E) if every vertex in V\D is adjacent to a vertex in D and a vertex in V\D. Given a graph G and a positive integer k, the restrained domination problem is to check whether G has a restrained dominating set of size at most k. The restrained domination problem is known to be NP-complete even for chordal graphs. In this paper, we propose a linear time algorithm to compute a minimum restrained dominating set of a proper interval graph. We present a polynomial time reduction that proves the NP-completeness of the restrained domination problem for undirected path graphs, chordal bipartite graphs, circle graphs, and planar graphs.

Proper Orientation

An orientation D of a graph G = (V, E) is a digraph obtained from G by replacing each edge by exactly one of the two possible arcs with the same end vertices. For each v ∈ V(G), the indegree of v in D, denoted by dD−(v), is the number of arcs with head v in D. An orientation D of G is proper if dD−(u) ≠ dD−(v), for all uv ∈ E(G). An orientation with maximum indegree at most k is called a k-orientation. The proper orientation number of G, denoted by χ→(G), is the minimum integer k such that G admits a proper k-orientation. We prove that determining whether χ→(G) ≤ k is NP-complete for chordal graphs of bounded diameter. We also present a tight upper bound for χ→(G) on split graphs and a linear-time algorithm for quasi-threshold graphs.

Dominating Function

For a simple graph G=(V,E) with no isolated vertices, a total Roman {3}-dominating function(TR3DF) on G is a function f:V(G)→{0,1,2,3} having the property that (i) ∑w∈N(v)f(w)≥3 if f(v)=0; (ii) ∑w∈N(v)f(w)≥2 if f(v)=1; and (iii) every vertex v with f(v)≠0 has a neighbor u with f(u)≠0 for every vertex v∈V(G). The weight of a TR3DF f is the sum f(V)=∑v∈V(G)f(v) and the minimum weight of a total Roman {3}-dominating function on G is called the total Roman {3}-domination number denoted by γt{R3}(G). In this paper, we show that the total Roman {3}-domination problem is NP-complete for planar graphs and chordal bipartite graphs. Finally, we present a linear-time algorithm to compute the value of γt{R3} for trees.
