一个平面线性荫度猜想

A Planar Linear Arboricity Conjecture

Marek Cygan, Lukasz Kowalik, Borut Luzar

摘要:

图G的线性荫度la(G)是划分图G的边的最小线性森林数。1984年,Akiyama等人提出了线性荫度猜想(LAC),即任何最大度$Δ$的单图的线性荫度要么是$\lceil \tfracΔ{2} \rceil$要么是$\lceil \tfrac{Δ+1}{2} \rceil$。在[J. L.吴关于可平面图的线性荫度。J. Graph Theory,31:129-134,1999]和[J. L. Wu和Y. W.吴最大度为7的可平面图的线性荫度为4。图论,58(3):210-220,2008.]证明了LAC对所有可平面图都成立。LAC意味着对于$Δ$奇数,${\rm la}(G)=\big \lceil \tfracΔ{2} \big \rceil$。我们猜想,对于可平面图,这个等式也适用于任何偶数$Δ\ge 6$。在本文中,我们表明,这是真正的任何甚至$Δ\ge 10$,只留下开放的情况下$Δ=6, 8$。我们还提出了一个O(nlogn)时间的算法划分一个平面图成max{la(G),5}线性森林,这是最佳的时,$Δ\ge 9$ .

英文摘要:

The linear arboricity la(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of linear forests that partition the edges of G. In 1984, Akiyama et al. stated the Linear Arboricity Conjecture (LAC), that the linear arboricity of any simple graph of maximum degree $Δ$ is either $\lceil \tfracΔ{2} \rceil$ or $\lceil \tfrac{Δ+1}{2} \rceil$. In [J. L. Wu. On the linear arboricity of planar graphs. J. Graph Theory, 31:129-134, 1999] and [J. L. Wu and Y. W. Wu. The linear arboricity of planar graphs of maximum degree seven is four. J. Graph Theory, 58(3):210-220, 2008.] it was proven that LAC holds for all planar graphs. LAC implies that for $Δ$ odd, ${\rm la}(G)=\big \lceil \tfracΔ{2} \big \rceil$. We conjecture that for planar graphs this equality is true also for any even $Δ\ge 6$. In this paper we show that it is true for any even $Δ\ge 10$, leaving open only the cases $Δ=6, 8$. We present also an O(n log n)-time algorithm for partitioning a planar graph into max{la(G),5} linear forests, which is optimal when $Δ\ge 9$.
