Let G be a graph and k ≥ 1 be an integer. A subset S of vertices in a graph G is called a k -component independent set of G if each component of G S has order at most k . The k -component independence number, denoted by α c k G , is the maximum order of a vertex subset that induces a subgraph with maximum component order at most k . We prove that if a tree T is of order n , then α k T ≥ k / k + 1 n . The bound is sharp. In addition, we give a linear-time algorithm for finding a maximum k -component independent set of a tree.

A linear time algorithm for routing over the cells is presented. The algorithm tries to reduce maximum channel density by routing some connections over the cells. The algorithm first defines a new scheme for channel representation and formulates the problem based on an intersection graph derived from the new scheme. Then, a feasible independent set of the intersection graph is found for routing some subnets over the cells. The algorithm is implemented and evaluated with several well known benchmarks. In comparison with previous research, our results are satisfactory, and the algorithm takes substantially less CPU time than those of previous works. For Deutsch's difficult example, the previous algorithms take about 29.25 seconds on an average but our new algorithm needs only 5.6 seconds.

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.
