Boštjan Brešar, František Kardoš, Ján Katrenič, Gabriel Semanišin

摘要:

一个图G的顶点子集S称为k-路顶点覆盖,如果G中的每条k阶路至少包含一个来自S的顶点。记G中k-路顶点覆盖的最小基数为k_k(G)。证明了对于每个k \geq 2,确定G_k(G)的问题是NP困难的,而对于树,该问题可以在线性时间内求解.本文研究了G_k(G)的值的上界,给出了G_k(G)的几个估计和精确值.本文还证明了对任意n个顶点m条边的图G,都有n_3(G)\leq(2n + m)/6.

英文摘要:

A subset S of vertices of a graph G is called a k-path vertex cover if every path of order k in G contains at least one vertex from S. Denote by ψ_k(G) the minimum cardinality of a k-path vertex cover in G. It is shown that the problem of determining ψ_k(G) is NP-hard for each k \geq 2, while for trees the problem can be solved in linear time. We investigate upper bounds on the value of ψ_k(G) and provide several estimations and exact values of ψ_k(G). We also prove that ψ_3(G) \leq (2n + m)/6, for every graph G with n vertices and m edges.
