David L. Fairbairn, George B. Mertzios, Norbert Peyerimhoff

AI总结:

本文研究$k$-CombDMR问题,证明$k=1$、$k=2$时可通过求解2-SAT实例在多项式时间内求解,$k\geq3$时为NP完全问题,还讨论了距离矩阵树可实现性的多项式时间问题。

摘要:

$k$-CombDMR问题是判断一个$n \times n$距离矩阵能否由某个含$n+k$个顶点的无向图中的$n$个顶点来实现的问题。该问题在$k=0$时存在简单解法。本文证明,当$k=1$和$k=2$时,该问题可在多项式时间内求解,且我们通过求解相应的2-SAT(2-可满足性)实例,给出了构造此类图实现的算法。当$k \geq 3$时,该问题是NP完全的,我们通过将$k$-着色问题归约到$k$-CombDMR问题证明了这一点。最后,我们讨论了更简单的、给定距离矩阵的树可实现性多项式时间可解问题。

英文摘要:

The $k$-CombDMR problem is that of determining whether an $n \times n$ distance matrix can be realised by $n$ vertices in some undirected graph with $n + k$ vertices. This problem has a simple solution in the case $k=0$. In this paper we show that this problem is polynomial time solvable for $k=1$ and $k=2$. Moreover, we provide algorithms to construct such graph realisations by solving appropriate 2-SAT instances. In the case where $k \geq 3$, this problem is NP-complete. We show this by a reduction of the $k$-colourability problem to the $k$-CombDMR problem. Finally, we discuss the simpler polynomial time solvable problem of tree realisability for a given distance matrix.
