We indicate strong non-approximability factors for central problems: N1/4 for Max Clique; N1/10 for Chromatic Number; and 66/65 for Max 3SAT. Underlying the Max Clique result is a...
We show how to use split decomposition to compute the weighted clique number and the chromatic number of a graph and we apply these results to some classes of graphs. In particular...
Abstract— Given a wireless ad hoc network and an endto-end traffic pattern, the power rate function refers to the minimum total power required to support different throughput un...
Given an n-element set U and a family of subsets S ⊆ 2U we show how to count the number of k-partitions S1 ∪ · · · ∪ Sk = U into subsets Si ∈ S in time 2nnO(1). The only...
: We present an improved upper bound of O(d1+ 1 m−1 ) for the (2, F)-subgraph chromatic number χ2,F (G) of any graph G of maximum degree d. Here, m denotes the minimum number of...
