Comparing classification tree structures: A special case of comparing q-ary relations II

I. C. Lerman, F. Rouxel (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Comparing q-ary relations on a set 𝒪 of elementary objects is one of the most fundamental problems of classification and combinatorial data analysis. In this paper the specific comparison task that involves classification tree structures (binary or not) is considered in this context. Two mathematical representations are proposed. One is defined in terms of a weighted binary relation; the second uses a 4-ary relation. The most classical approaches to tree comparison are discussed in the context...

Comparing imperfection ratio and imperfection index for graph classes

Arie M. C. A. Koster, Annegret K. Wagler (2008)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Perfect graphs constitute a well-studied graph class with a rich structure, reflected by many characterizations with respect to different concepts. Perfect graphs are, for instance, precisely those graphs G where the stable set polytope STAB ( G ) coincides with the fractional stable set polytope QSTAB ( G ) . For all imperfect graphs G it holds that STAB ( G ) QSTAB ( G ) . It is, therefore, natural to use the difference between the two polytopes in order to decide how far an imperfect graph is away from being perfect. We discuss three...

Comparison of algorithms in graph partitioning

Alain Guénoche (2008)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

We first describe four recent methods to cluster vertices of an undirected non weighted connected graph. They are all based on very different principles. The fifth is a combination of classical ideas in optimization applied to graph partitioning. We compare these methods according to their ability to recover classes initially introduced in random graphs with more edges within the classes than between them.

Comparison of Metric Spectral Gaps

Assaf Naor (2014)

Analysis and Geometry in Metric Spaces

Let A = (aij) ∊ Mn(ℝ) be an n by n symmetric stochastic matrix. For p ∊ [1, ∞) and a metric space (X, dX), let γ(A, dpx) be the infimum over those γ ∊ (0,∞] for which every x1, . . . , xn ∊ X satisfy [...] Thus γ (A, dpx) measures the magnitude of the nonlinear spectral gap of the matrix A with respect to the kernel dpX : X × X →[0,∞). We study pairs of metric spaces (X, dX) and (Y, dY ) for which there exists Ψ: (0,∞)→(0,∞) such that γ (A, dpX) ≤Ψ (A, dpY ) for every symmetric stochastic A ∊ Mn(ℝ)...

Competition hypergraphs of digraphs with certain properties II. Hamiltonicity

Martin Sonntag, Hanns-Martin Teichert (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

If D = (V,A) is a digraph, its competition hypergraph (D) has vertex set V and e ⊆ V is an edge of (D) iff |e| ≥ 2 and there is a vertex v ∈ V, such that e = N D ( v ) = w V | ( w , v ) A . We give characterizations of (D) in case of hamiltonian digraphs D and, more general, of digraphs D having a τ-cycle factor. The results are closely related to the corresponding investigations for competition graphs in Fraughnaugh et al. [4] and Guichard [6].

Competition hypergraphs of digraphs with certain properties I. Strong connectedness

Martin Sonntag, Hanns-Martin Teichert (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

If D = (V,A) is a digraph, its competition hypergraph 𝓒𝓗(D) has the vertex set V and e ⊆ V is an edge of 𝓒𝓗(D) iff |e| ≥ 2 and there is a vertex v ∈ V, such that e = {w ∈ V|(w,v) ∈ A}. We tackle the problem to minimize the number of strong components in D without changing the competition hypergraph 𝓒𝓗(D). The results are closely related to the corresponding investigations for competition graphs in Fraughnaugh et al. [3].

Complete minors, independent sets, and chordal graphs

József Balogh, John Lenz, Hehui Wu (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The Hadwiger number h(G) of a graph G is the maximum size of a complete minor of G. Hadwiger's Conjecture states that h(G) ≥ χ(G). Since χ(G) α(G) ≥ |V(G)|, Hadwiger's Conjecture implies that α(G) h(G) ≥ |V(G)|. We show that (2α(G) - ⌈log_{τ}(τα(G)/2)⌉) h(G) ≥ |V(G)| where τ ≍ 6.83. For graphs with α(G) ≥ 14, this improves on a recent result of Kawarabayashi and Song who showed (2α(G) - 2) h(G) ≥ |V(G) | when α(G) ≥ 3.
