C_{2k+1}-Coloring of Bounded-Diameter Graphs

Authors: Marta Piecyk

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 306, 49th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2024)

Abstract
For a fixed graph H, in the graph homomorphism problem, denoted by Hom(H), we are given a graph G and we have to determine whether there exists an edge-preserving mapping φ: V(G) → V(H). Note that Hom(C₃), where C₃ is the cycle of length 3, is equivalent to 3-Coloring. The question of whether 3-Coloring is polynomial-time solvable on diameter-2 graphs is a well-known open problem. In this paper we study the Hom(C_{2k+1}) problem on bounded-diameter graphs for k ≥ 2, so we consider all other odd cycles than C₃. We prove that for k ≥ 2, the Hom(C_{2k+1}) problem is polynomial-time solvable on diameter-(k+1) graphs - note that such a result for k = 1 would be precisely a polynomial-time algorithm for 3-Coloring of diameter-2 graphs. Furthermore, we give subexponential-time algorithms for diameter-(k+2) and -(k+3) graphs. We complement these results with a lower bound for diameter-(2k+2) graphs - in this class of graphs the Hom(C_{2k+1}) problem is NP-hard and cannot be solved in subexponential-time, unless the ETH fails. Finally, we consider another direction of generalizing 3-Coloring on diameter-2 graphs. We consider other target graphs H than odd cycles but we restrict ourselves to diameter 2. We show that if H is triangle-free, then Hom(H) is polynomial-time solvable on diameter-2 graphs.

Matching Cuts in Graphs of High Girth and H-Free Graphs

Authors: Carl Feghali, Felicia Lucke, Daniël Paulusma, and Bernard Ries

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 283, 34th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2023)

Abstract
The (Perfect) Matching Cut problem is to decide if a connected graph has a (perfect) matching that is also an edge cut. The Disconnected Perfect Matching problem is to decide if a connected graph has a perfect matching that contains a matching cut. Both Matching Cut and Disconnected Perfect Matching are NP-complete for planar graphs of girth 5, whereas Perfect Matching Cut is known to be NP-complete even for subcubic bipartite graphs of arbitrarily large fixed girth. We prove that Matching Cut and Disconnected Perfect Matching are also NP-complete for bipartite graphs of arbitrarily large fixed girth and bounded maximum degree. Our result for Matching Cut resolves a 20-year old open problem. We also show that the more general problem d-Cut, for every fixed d ≥ 1, is NP-complete for bipartite graphs of arbitrarily large fixed girth and bounded maximum degree. Furthermore, we show that Matching Cut, Perfect Matching Cut and Disconnected Perfect Matching are NP-complete for H-free graphs whenever H contains a connected component with two vertices of degree at least 3. Afterwards, we update the state-of-the-art summaries for H-free graphs and compare them with each other, and with a known and full classification of the Maximum Matching Cut problem, which is to determine a largest matching cut of a graph G. Finally, by combining existing results, we obtain a complete complexity classification of Perfect Matching Cut for H-subgraph-free graphs where H is any finite set of graphs.

Feedback Vertex Set and Even Cycle Transversal for H-Free Graphs: Finding Large Block Graphs

Authors: Giacomo Paesani, Daniël Paulusma, and Paweł Rzążewski

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 202, 46th International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2021)

Abstract
We prove new complexity results for Feedback Vertex Set and Even Cycle Transversal on H-free graphs, that is, graphs that do not contain some fixed graph H as an induced subgraph. In particular, we prove that both problems are polynomial-time solvable for sP₃-free graphs for every integer s ≥ 1; here, the graph sP₃ denotes the disjoint union of s paths on three vertices. Our results show that both problems exhibit the same behaviour on H-free graphs (subject to some open cases). This is in part explained by a new general algorithm we design for finding in a graph G a largest induced subgraph whose blocks belong to some finite class C of graphs. We also compare our results with the state-of-the-art results for the Odd Cycle Transversal problem, which is known to behave differently on H-free graphs.

Cyclability in Graph Classes

Authors: Christophe Crespelle, Carl Feghali, and Petr A. Golovach

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 149, 30th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2019)

Abstract
A subset T subseteq V(G) of vertices of a graph G is said to be cyclable if G has a cycle C containing every vertex of T, and for a positive integer k, a graph G is k-cyclable if every subset of vertices of G of size at most k is cyclable. The Terminal Cyclability problem asks, given a graph G and a set T of vertices, whether T is cyclable, and the k-Cyclability problem asks, given a graph G and a positive integer k, whether G is k-cyclable. These problems are generalizations of the classical Hamiltonian Cycle problem. We initiate the study of these problems for graph classes that admit polynomial algorithms for Hamiltonian Cycle. We show that Terminal Cyclability can be solved in linear time for interval graphs, bipartite permutation graphs and cographs. Moreover, we construct certifying algorithms that either produce a solution, that is, a cycle, or output a graph separator that certifies a no-answer. We use these results to show that k-Cyclability can be solved in polynomial time when restricted to the aforementioned graph classes.

Independent Feedback Vertex Set for P_5-free Graphs

Authors: Marthe Bonamy, Konrad K. Dabrowski, Carl Feghali, Matthew Johnson, and Daniël Paulusma

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 92, 28th International Symposium on Algorithms and Computation (ISAAC 2017)

Abstract
The NP-complete problem Feedback Vertex Set is to decide if it is possible, for a given integer k>=0, to delete at most k vertices from a given graph so that what remains is a forest. The variant in which the deleted vertices must form an independent set is called Independent Feedback Vertex Set and is also NP-complete. In fact, even deciding if an independent feedback vertex set exists is NP-complete and this problem is closely related to the 3-Colouring problem, or equivalently, to the problem of deciding if a graph has an independent odd cycle transversal, that is, an independent set of vertices whose deletion makes the graph bipartite. We initiate a systematic study of the complexity of Independent Feedback Vertex Set for H-free graphs. We prove that it is NP-complete if H contains a claw or cycle. Tamura, Ito and Zhou proved that it is polynomial-time solvable for P_4-free graphs. We show that it remains in P for P_5-free graphs. We prove analogous results for the Independent Odd Cycle Transversal problem, which asks if a graph has an independent odd cycle transversal of size at most k for a given integer k>=0.

Recognizing Graphs Close to Bipartite Graphs

Authors: Marthe Bonamy, Konrad K. Dabrowski, Carl Feghali, Matthew Johnson, and Daniël Paulusma

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 83, 42nd International Symposium on Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science (MFCS 2017)

Abstract
We continue research into a well-studied family of problems that ask if the vertices of a graph can be partitioned into sets A and B, where A is an independent set and B induces a graph from some specified graph class G. We let G be the class of k-degenerate graphs. The problem is known to be polynomial-time solvable if k=0 (bipartite graphs) and NP-complete if k=1 (near-bipartite graphs) even for graphs of diameter 4, as shown by Yang and Yuan, who also proved polynomial-time solvability for graphs of diameter 2. We show that recognizing near-bipartite graphs of diameter 3 is NP-complete resolving their open problem. To answer another open problem, we consider graphs of maximum degree D on n vertices. We show how to find A and B in O(n) time for k=1 and D=3, and in O(n^2) time for k >= 2 and D >= 4. These results also provide an algorithmic version of a result of Catlin [JCTB, 1979] and enable us to complete the complexity classification of another problem: finding a path in the vertex colouring reconfiguration graph between two given k-colourings of a graph of bounded maximum degree.
