极小连通超图

Minimally Connected Hypergraphs

Mark Budden, Josh Hiller, Andrew Penland

摘要:

图和超图是离散数学中的基本结构。它们有许多实际应用,包括快速发展的生物信息学领域,以及更广泛的生物数学。它们也是有趣的算法问题的来源。在本文中,我们定义了一个\textit{construction process}的最小连接$r$ -一致超图,它捕捉了直观的概念,建立一个超图的一块一块,和一个数值不变量称为\textit{tightness},这是独立的建设过程中使用。利用这些工具,我们证明了极小连通超图的一些基本性质。我们也给出了它们的色数的界,并提供了一些涉及边着色的结果。证明了每个连通的$r$ -一致超图都包含一个极小连通生成子超图,并给出了一个判定极小连通生成子超图的多项式时间算法.

英文摘要:

Graphs and hypergraphs are foundational structures in discrete mathematics. They have many practical applications, including the rapidly developing field of bioinformatics, and more generally, biomathematics. They are also a source of interesting algorithmic problems. In this paper, we define a \textit{construction process} for minimally connected $r$-uniform hypergraphs, which captures the intuitive notion of building a hypergraph piece-by-piece, and a numerical invariant called the \textit{tightness}, which is independent of the construction process used. Using these tools, we prove some fundamental properties of minimally connected hypergraphs. We also give bounds on their chromatic numbers and provide some results involving edge colorings. We show that every connected $r$-uniform hypergraph contains a minimally connected spanning subhypergraph and provide a polynomial-time algorithm for identifying such a subhypergraph.
