Parallel algorithms on interval graphs
The 'two paths problem' is stated as follows. Given an undirected graph G = (V,E) and vertices s₁,t₁;s₂,t₂, the problem is to determine whether or not G admits two vertex-disjoint paths P₁ and P₂ connecting s₁ with t₁ and s₂ with t₂ respectively. In this paper we give a linear (O(|V|+ |E|)) algorithm to solve the above problem on a permutation graph.
In this paper we consider the following problem. Given an undirected graph G = (V,E) and vertices s₁,t₁;s₂,t₂, the problem is to determine whether or not G admits two edge-disjoint paths P₁ and P₂ connecting s₁ with t₁ and s₂ with t₂, respectively. We give a linear (O(|V|+|E|)) algorithm to solve this problem on a permutation graph.
We prove that the Christofides algorithm gives a approximation ratio for the special case of traveling salesman problem (TSP) in which the maximum weight in the given graph is at most twice the minimum weight for the graphs. A graph is if the number of odd degree vertices in any minimum spanning tree of the given graph is less than times the number of vertices in the graph. We prove that the Christofides algorithm is more efficient (in terms of runtime) than the previous existing algorithms...
Disjoint paths have applications in establishing bottleneck-free communication between processors in a network. The problem of finding minimum delay disjoint paths in a network directly reduces to the problem of finding the minimal disjoint paths in the graph which models the network. Previous results for this problem on chordal graphs were an O(|V| |E|²) algorithm for 2 edge disjoint paths and an O(|V| |E|) algorithm for 2 vertex disjoint paths. In this paper, we give an O(|V| |E|) algorithm for...
