This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis we adapt fundamental parts of the Graph Minors series of Robertson and Seymour for the study of matching minors and investigate a connection to the study of directed graphs. We develope matching theoretic to established results of graph minor theory: We characterise the existence of a cross over a conformal cycle by means of a topological property. Furthermore, we develope a theory for perfect matching width, a width parameter for graphs with perfect matchings introduced by Norin. here we show that the disjoint alternating paths problem can be solved in polynomial time on graphs of bounded width. Moreover, we show that every bipartite graph with high perfect matching width must contain a large grid as a matching minor. Finally, we prove an analogue of the we known Flat Wall theorem and provide a qualitative description of all bipartite graphs which exclude a fixed matching minor. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden fundamentale Teile des Graphminorenprojekts von Robertson und Seymour für das Studium von Matching Minoren adaptiert und Verbindungen zur Strukturtheorie gerichteter Graphen aufgezeigt. Wir entwickeln matchingtheoretische Analogien zu etablierten Resultaten des Graphminorenprojekts: Wir charakterisieren die Existenz eines Kreuzes über einem konformen Kreis mittels topologischer Eigenschaften. Weiter entwickeln wir eine Theorie zu perfekter Matchingweite, einem Weiteparameter für Graphen mit perfekten Matchings, der von Norin eingeführt wurde. Hier zeigen wir, dass das Disjunkte Alternierende Pfade Problem auf bipartiten Graphen mit beschränkter Weite in Polynomialzeit lösbar ist. Weiter zeigen wir, dass jeder bipartite Graph mit hoher perfekter Matchingweite ein großes Gitter als Matchingminor enthalten muss. Schließlich zeigen wir ein Analogon des bekannten Flat Wall Theorem und geben eine qualitative Beschreibung aller bipartiter Graphen an, die einen festen Matching Minor ausschließen.

Download or read book Dualities in graphs and digraphs written by Hatzel, Meike and published by Universitätsverlag der TU Berlin. This book was released on 2023-05-23 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis we describe dualities in directed as well as undirected graphs based on tools such as width-parameters, obstructions and substructures. We mainly focus on directed graphs and their structure. In the context of a long open conjecture that bounds the monotonicity costs of a version of the directed cops and robber game, we introduce new width-measures based on directed separations that are closely related to DAG-width. We identify a tangle-like obstruction for which we prove a duality theorem. Johnson, Reed, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas introduced the width measure directed treewidth as a generalisation of treewidth for directed graphs. We introduce a new width measure, the cyclewidth, which is parametrically equivalent to directed treewidth. Making use of the connection between directed graphs and bipartite graphs with perfect matchings we characterise the digraphs of low cyclewidth. Generalising the seminal work by Robertson and Seymour resulting in a global structure theorem for undirected graphs, there is the goal of obtaining a structure theorem, based on directed treewidth, describing the structure of the directed graphs excluding a fixed butterfly minor. Working in this direction we present a new flat wall theorem for directed graphs which we believe to provide a better base for a directed structure theorem than the existing ones. On undirected graphs we present several results on induced subgraphs in the graphs themselves or the square graph of their linegraph. These results range from general statements about all graphs to the consideration of specific graph classes such as the one with exactly two moplexes. In der vorliegenden Arbeit beschreiben wir Dualitäten in gerichteten sowie in ungerichteten Graphen basierend auf Konzepten wie Weiteparametern, Obstruktionen und Substrukturen. Der Hauptfokus der Arbeit liegt bei gerichteten Graphen und ihrer Struktur. Im Kontext einer lange offenen Vermutung, dass die Monotoniekosten einer Variante des Räuber und Gendarm Spiels für gerichtete Graphen beschränkt sind, führen wir neue Weiteparameter ein, die auf gerichteten Separationen basieren und eng mit DAG-Weite verwandt sind. Wir identifizieren Tangle-artige Obstruktionen zu diesen Weiteparametern und beweisen die Dualität zwischen diesen beiden Konzepten. Johnson, Reed, Robertson, Seymour und Thomas haben die gerichtete Baumweite als gerichtete Verallgemeinerung der Baumweite auf ungerichteten Graphen eingeführt. Wir führen einen neuen Weiteparameter, die Cyclewidth, ein, der parametrisch equivalent zur gerichteten Baumweite ist. Unter Nutzung der Verwandtschaft von gerichteten Graphen und bipartiten Graphen mit perfekten Matchings charakterisieren wir die gerichteten Graphen mit kleiner Cyclewidth. Ein einschlagendes Ergebnis in der Graphenstrukturtheorie ist das Strukturtheorem von Robertson und Seymour. Basierend darauf gibt es Anstrengungen ein solches Strukturtheorem auch für gerichtete Graphen zu finden und dafür die gerichtete Baumweite als Grundlage zu nutzen. Dieses Theorem soll die Struktur aller gerichteten Graphen beschreiben, die einen festen gerichteten Graphen als Butterflyminoren ausschließen. In diesem Kontext beweisen wir ein neues Flat-wall-theorem für gerichtete Graphen, dass unserer Erwartung nach eine bessere Basis für ein gerichtetes Strukturtheorem bietet als die bisher betrachteten Alternativen. Auf ungerichteten Graphen präsentieren wir einige Ergebnisse bezüglich induzierten Subgraphen in gegebenen Graphen oder ihren Linegraphen. Diese Ergebnisse reichen von der Betrachtung spezifischer Graphklassen, wie den Graphen mit zwei Moplexen, bis zu Ergebnissen auf der allgemeinen Klasse aller Graphen.

Download or read book Fast Parallel Algorithms for Graph Matching Problems written by Marek Karpiński and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The matching problem is central to graph theory and the theory of algorithms. This book provides a comprehensive and straightforward introduction to the basic methods for designing efficient parallel algorithms for graph matching problems. Written for students at the beginning graduate level, the exposition is largely self-contained and example-driven; prerequisites have been kept to a minimum by including relevant background material. The book contains full details of several new techniques and will be of interest to researchers in computer science, operations research, discrete mathematics, and electrical engineering. The main theoretical tools are presented in three independent chapters, devoted to combinatorial tools, probabilistic tools, and algebraic tools. One of the goals of the book is to show how these three approaches can be combined to develop efficient parallel algorithms. The book represents a meeting point of interesting algorithmic techniques and opens up new algebraic and geometric areas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress in Combinatorial Optimization provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of combinatorial optimization. This book discusses how to determine whether or not a particular structure exists. Organized into 21 chapters, this book begins with an overview of a polar characterization of facets of polyhedra obtained by lifting facets of lower dimensional polyhedra. This text then discusses how to obtain bounds on the value of the objective in a graph partitioning problem in terms of spectral information about the graph. Other chapters consider the notion of a triangulation of an oriented matroid and show that oriented matroid triangulation yield triangulations of the underlying polytopes. This book discusses as well the selected results and problems on perfect ad imperfect graphs. The final chapter deals with the weighted parity problem for gammoids, which can be reduced to the weighted graphic matching problem. This book is a valuable resource for mathematicians and research workers.

Download or read book Discrete Mathematics written by Jean Gallier and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This books gives an introduction to discrete mathematics for beginning undergraduates. One of original features of this book is that it begins with a presentation of the rules of logic as used in mathematics. Many examples of formal and informal proofs are given. With this logical framework firmly in place, the book describes the major axioms of set theory and introduces the natural numbers. The rest of the book is more standard. It deals with functions and relations, directed and undirected graphs, and an introduction to combinatorics. There is a section on public key cryptography and RSA, with complete proofs of Fermat's little theorem and the correctness of the RSA scheme, as well as explicit algorithms to perform modular arithmetic. The last chapter provides more graph theory. Eulerian and Hamiltonian cycles are discussed. Then, we study flows and tensions and state and prove the max flow min-cut theorem. We also discuss matchings, covering, bipartite graphs.
