International audience An acyclic coloring of a graph $G$ is a coloring of its vertices such that: (i) no two neighbors in $G$ are assigned the same color and (ii) no bicolored cycle can exist in $G$. The acyclic chromatic number of $G$ is the least number of colors necessary to acyclically color $G$, and is denoted by $a(G)$. We show that any graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ has acyclic chromatic number at most $\frac{\Delta (\Delta -1) }{ 2}$ for any $\Delta \geq 5$, and we give an $O(n \Delta^2)$ algorithm to acyclically color any graph of maximum degree $\Delta$ with the above mentioned number of colors. This result is roughly two times better than the best general upper bound known so far, yielding $a(G) \leq \Delta (\Delta -1) +2$. By a deeper study of the case $\Delta =5$, we also show that any graph of maximum degree $5$ can be acyclically colored with at most $9$ colors, and give a linear time algorithm to achieve this bound.

AbstractThe genome rearrangement problem computes the minimum number of operations that are required to sort all elements of a permutation. A block-interchange operation exchanges two blocks of a permutation which are not necessarily adjacent and in a prefix block-interchange, one block is always the prefix of that permutation. In this paper, we focus on applying prefix block-interchanges on binary and ternary strings. We present upper bounds to group and sort a given binary/ternary string. We also provide upper bounds for a different version of the block-interchange operation which we refer to as the ‘restricted prefix block-interchange’. We observe that our obtained upper bound for restricted prefix block-interchange operations on binary strings is better than that of other genome rearrangement operations to group fully normalized binary strings. Consequently, we provide a linear-time algorithm to solve the problem of grouping binary normalized strings by restricted prefix block-interchanges. We also provide a polynomial time algorithm to group normalized ternary strings by prefix block-interchange operations. Finally, we provide a classification for ternary strings based on the required number of prefix block-interchange operations.

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.

We present a modification of Bodlaender's linear time algorithm that, for constant k, determine whether an input graph G has treewidth k and, if so, constructs a tree decomposition of G of width at most k. Our algorithm has the following additional feature: if G has treewidth greater than k then a subgraph G′ of G of treewidth greater than k is returned along with a tree decomposition of G′ of width at most 2k. A consequence is that the fundamental disjoint rooted paths problem can now be solved in O(n2) time. This is the primary motivation of this paper.
