A perfect Roman dominating function on a graph G is a function f : V (G) -> {0,1, 2} having the property that for every vertex u with f (u) = 0, there exists exactly one vertex v such that uv is an element of E(G) and f (v) = 2. The weight of f, denoted by w(f), is the value Sigma(v is an element of v(G)) f (v). Given a graph G and a positive integer k, the perfect Roman domination problem is to decide whether there is a perfect Roman dominating function f on G such that w(f) is at most k. In this paper, we first show that the perfect Roman domination problem is NP-complete for chordal graphs, planar graphs, and bipartite graphs. Then we present polynomial time algorithms for computing a perfect Roman dominating function with minimum weight in block graphs, cographs, series-parallel graphs, and proper interval graphs.

Let Gbe a vertex-colored connected graph. A subset X of the vertex-set of G is called proper if any two adjacent vertices in X have distinct colors. The graph G is called proper vertex-disconnected if for any two vertices x and y of G, there exists a vertex subset S of G such that when x and y are nonadjacent, Sis proper and x and y belong to different components of G - S;where as when x and y are adjacent, S + x or S + y is proper and x and y belong to different components of (G - xy) - S. For a connected graph G, the proper vertex-disconnection number of G, denoted by pvd( G), is the minimum number of colors that are needed to make G proper vertex-disconnected. In this paper, we firstly characterize the graphs of order n with proper vertex-disconnection number k for k.{1, n - 2, n - 1, n}. Secondly, we give some sufficient conditions for a graph G such that pvd(G) =.(G), and show that almost all graphs G have pvd(G) =.(G) and pvd(G) =.(G). We also give an equivalent statement of the famous Four Color Theorem. Furthermore, we study the relationship between the proper disconnection number pd(G) of G and the proper vertex-disconnection number pvd(L(G)) of the line graph L(G) of G. Finally, we show that it is NP-complete to decide whether a given vertex-colored graph is proper vertex-disconnected, and it is NP-hard to decide for a fixed integer k = 3, whether the pvd-number of a graph G is no more than k, even if k = 3 and G is a planar graph with Delta(G) = 12. We also show that it is solvable in polynomialtime to determine the proper vertex-disconnection number for a graph with maximum degree less than four. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Parsimony haplotyping is the problem of finding a set of haplotypes of minimum cardinality that explains a given set of genotypes, where a genotype is explained by two haplotypes if it can be obtained as a combination of the two. This problem is NP-complete in the general case, but polynomially solvable for (k,l)-bounded instances for certain k and l. Here, k denotes the maximum number of ambiguous sites in any genotype, and l is the maximum number of genotypes that are ambiguous at the same site. Only the complexity of the (*,2)-bounded problem is still unknown, where * denotes no restriction. It has been proved that (*,2)-bounded instances have compatibility graphs that can be constructed from cliques and circuits by pasting along an edge. In this paper, we give a constructive proof of the fact that (*,2)-bounded instances are polynomially solvable if the compatibility graph is constructed by pasting cliques, trees and circuits along a bounded number of edges. We obtain this proof by solving a slightly generalized problem on circuits, trees and cliques respectively, and arguing that all possible combinations of optimal solutions for these graphs that are pasted along a bounded number of edges can be enumerated efficiently.

This paper considers a single machine scheduling problem in which each job is assigned an individual due date based on a common flow allowance (i.e. all jobs have slack due date). The goal is to find a sequence for jobs, together with a due date assignment, that minimizes a non-regular criterion comprising the total weighted absolute lateness value and common flow allowance cost, where the weight is a position-dependent weight. In order to solve this problem, an O (n log n) timealgorithm is proposed. Some extensions of the problem are also shown.
We are concerned with problems of scheduling jobs non-preemptively with the objective to maximize the weighted number of jobs that are completed exactly at their due dates. It has been shown that the problems for sing...

We are concerned with problems of scheduling jobs non-preemptively with the objective to maximize the weighted number of jobs that are completed exactly at their due dates. It has been shown that the problems for single machine and identical parallel machines are polynomialtime solvable. The purpose of this paper is to establish the complexity status of the problem for unrelated parallel machine, which was left open. First, we present a polynomial time algorithm for solving the problem when the number of machine is fixed. Second, we show that when the number of machine is a part of input, the problem becomes NP-hard in the strong sense.

Cops and Robbers is a pursuit and evasion game played on graphs that has received much attention. We consider an extension of Cops and Robbers, distance k Cops and Robbers, where the cops win if at least one of them is of distance at most k from the robber in G. The cop number of a graph G is the minimum number of cops needed to capture the robber in G. The distance k analogue of the cop number, written c(k)(G), equals the minimum number of cops needed to win at a given distance k. We study the parameter c(k) from algorithmic, structural, and probabilistic perspectives. We supply a classification result for graphs with bounded c(k)(G) values and develop an O(n(2s+3)) algorithm for determining if ck(G) <= s for s fixed. We prove that if s is not fixed, then computing c(k)(G) is NP-hard. Upper and lower bounds are found for c(k)(G) in terms of the order of G. We prove that (n/k)(1/2+o(1)) <= c(k)(n) = O(n/log (2n/k+1) log(k + 2)/k + 1), where c(k)(n) is the maximum of c(k)(G) over all n-vertex connected graphs. The parameter c(k)(G) is investigated asymptotically in random graphs G(n, p) for a wide range of p = p(n). For each k >= 0, it is shown that c(k)(G) as a function of the average degree d(n) = pn forms an intriguing zigzag shape. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A vertex set D in a finite undirected graph G is an efficient dominating set (e.d.s for short) of G if every vertex of G is dominated by exactly one vertex of D. The Efficient Domination (ED) problem, which asks for the existence of an e.d.s. in G, is known to be NP-complete even for very restricted graph classes such as for 2P(3)-free chordal graphs while it is solvable in polynomialtime for P-6-free chordal graphs (and even for P-6-free graphs). A standard reduction from the NP-complete Exact Cover problem shows that ED is NP-complete for a very special subclass of chordal graphs generalizing split graphs. The reduction implies that ED is NP-complete e.g. for double-gem-free chordal graphs while it is solvable in linear time for gem-free chordal graphs (by various reasons such as bounded clique-width, distance-hereditary graphs, chordal square etc.), and ED is NP-complete for butterfly-free chordal graphs while it is solvable in linear time for 2P(2)-free graphs. We show that (weighted) ED can be solved in polynomialtime for H-free chordal graphs when H is net, extended gem, or S-1,S-2,S-3. (c) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The method is based on computing a finite -subalgebra of which is the intersection of a maximal -order and a maximal R-order, where R is the subring of consisting of fractions of polynomials with denominator having degree not less than that of the numerator.

We introduce the interval set of a graph G which is a representation of the proper-path-decomposition of G, and show a linear timealgorithm to construct an optimal interval set for any tree T. It is shown that a proper-path-decomposition of T with optimal width can be obtained from an optimal interval set of T in O(n log n) time.

Let G = ( V, E) be a graph without isolated vertices. A set D subset of V is said to be a dominating set of G if for every vertex v is an element of V \ D, there exists a vertex u is an element of D such that uv is an element of E. A set D subset of V is called a semitotal dominating set of G if D is a dominating set and every vertex in D is within distance 2 from another vertex of D. For a given graph G, the semitotal domination problem is to find a semitotal dominating set of G with minimum cardinality. The decision version of the semitotal domination problem is shown to be NP-complete for chordal graphs and bipartite graphs. Henning and Pandey (Theor Comput Sci 766:46-57, 2019) proposed an O(n(2)) timealgorithm for computing a minimum semitotal dominating set in interval graphs. In this paper, we show that for a given interval graph G = (V, E), a minimum semitotal dominating set of G can be computed in O(n + m) time, where n = |V| and m = | E|. This improves the complexity of the semitotal domination problem for interval graphs from O(n(2)) to O(n + m).
