在线性时间内寻找Tutte路径

Finding Tutte paths in linear time

Therese Biedl, Philipp Kindermann

摘要:

众所周知,每个平面图都有一条Tutte路,即,路径$P$,使得$G-P$的任何组件在$P$上具有至多三个附接点。然而,直到最近才表明,这种Tutte路径可以在多项式时间内找到。本文给出了3连通平面图存在Tutte路的一个新的证明,并由此导出了一个求Tutte路的线性时间算法。此外,我们的Tutte路径具有特殊的性质:它访问所有外部顶点,$G-P$的所有组件都正好有三个附着点,并且我们可以为它们指定不同的内部顶点代表。最后,我们的运行时间界限稍微强一些;我们可以根据与$P$关联的面的度数来限制它。这使我们能够找到Tutte路径(如二叉生成树和2-Walks)在线性时间的一些应用。

英文摘要:

It is well-known that every planar graph has a Tutte path, i.e., a path $P$ such that any component of $G-P$ has at most three attachment points on $P$. However, it was only recently shown that such Tutte paths can be found in polynomial time. In this paper, we give a new proof that 3-connected planar graphs have Tutte paths, which leads to a linear-time algorithm to find Tutte paths. Furthermore, our Tutte path has special properties: it visits all exterior vertices, all components of $G-P$ have exactly three attachment points, and we can assign distinct representatives to them that are interior vertices. Finally, our running time bound is slightly stronger; we can bound it in terms of the degrees of the faces that are incident to $P$. This allows us to find some applications of Tutte paths (such as binary spanning trees and 2-walks) in linear time as well.
