无$P_5$图的独立反馈点集

Independent Feedback Vertex Set for $P_5$-free Graphs

Marthe Bonamy, Konrad K. Dabrowski, Carl Feghali, Matthew Johnson, Daniel Paulusma

摘要:

反馈顶点集问题是一个NP完全问题,即对于给定的整数$k\geq 0$,是否可以从给定的图中删除最多$k$个顶点,使得剩下的是一个森林。删除顶点必须形成一个独立集的变体称为独立反馈顶点集,也是NP完全的。事实上,即使决定是否存在一个独立的反馈顶点集是NP-完全的,这个问题是密切相关的$3$ -着色问题,或等价地,决定是否有一个独立的奇圈横截,即一个独立集的顶点,其删除使图二分的问题。本文系统地研究了无$H$图的独立反馈点集的复杂性.证明了当$H$包含爪或圈时,它是NP-完全的. Tamura,Ito和Zhou证明了它对于无$P_4$的图是多项式时间可解的。我们发现,它仍然是多项式时间可解的$P_5$ -自由图。我们证明了类似的独立奇循环断面问题,它问是否有一个独立的奇循环断面的大小最多$k$为一个给定的整数$k\geq 0$。最后,结合我们的研究目的,我们将$H$ -free图的独立反馈顶点集的复杂性与$3$ -着色、独立奇圈transmitting等相关问题的复杂性进行了比较.

英文摘要:

The NP-complete problem Feedback Vertex Set is that of deciding whether or not it is possible, for a given integer $k\geq 0$, 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 whether or not 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 polynomial-time solvable for $P_5$-free graphs. We prove analogous results for the Independent Odd Cycle Transversal problem, which asks whether or not a graph has an independent odd cycle transversal of size at most $k$ for a given integer $k\geq 0$. Finally, in line with our underlying research aim, we compare the complexity of Independent Feedback Vertex Set for $H$-free graphs with the complexity of $3$-Colouring, Independent Odd Cycle Transversal and other related problems.
