Let C be a full-dimensional pointed closed convex cone in R-m obtained by taking the conic hull of a strictly convex set. Given A is an element of Q(mxn1), B is an element of Q(mxn2), and b is an element of Q(m), a simple conic mixed-integer set (SCMIS) is a set of the form {(x, y) is an element of Z(n1) x R-n2 vertical bar Ax + By - b is an element of C}. In this paper, we give a complete characterization of the closedness of convex hulls of SCMISs. Under certain technical conditions on the cone C, we show that the closedness characterization can be used to construct a polynomial-time algorithm to check the closedness of convex hulls of SCMISs. Moreover, we also show that the Lorentz cone satisfies these technical conditions. In the special case of pure integer problems, we present sufficient conditions, which can be checked in polynomialtime, to verify the closedness of intersection of SCMISs.

This paper investigates the anchor points in nonconvex Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), called Free Disposal Hull (FDH), technologies. We develop the concept of anchor points under various returns to scale as-sumptions in FDH models. A necessary and sufficient condition for characterizing the anchor points is provided. Since the set of anchor points is a subset of the set of extreme units, a definition of extreme units in non-convex technologies as well as a new method for obtaining these units are given. Finally, a polynomial-time algorithm for identification of the anchor points in FDH models is provided. Obtaining both extreme units and anchor points is done via calculating only some ratios, without solving any mathematical programming problem.

A compatible spanning circuit in a (not necessarily properly) edge-colored graphGis a closed trail containing all vertices ofGin which any two consecutively traversed edges have distinct colors. Sufficient conditions for the existence of extremal compatible spanning circuits (i.e., compatible Hamilton cycles and Euler tours), and polynomial-time algorithms for finding compatible Euler tours have been considered in previous literature. More recently, sufficient conditions for the existence of more general compatible spanning circuits in specific edge-colored graphs have been established. In this paper, we consider the existence of (more general) compatible spanning circuits from an algorithmic perspective. We first show that determining whether an edge-colored connected graph contains a compatible spanning circuit is an NP-complete problem. Next, we describe two polynomial-time algorithms for finding compatible spanning circuits in edge-colored complete graphs. These results in some sense give partial support to a conjecture on the existence of compatible Hamilton cycles in edge-colored complete graphs due to Bollobas and Erdos from the 1970s.

The (WEIGHTED) SUBSET FEEDBACK VERTEX SET problem is a generalization of the classical FEEDBACK VERTEX SET problem and asks for a vertex set of minimum (weight) size that intersects all cycles containing a vertex of a predescribed set of vertices. Although SUBSET FEEDBACK VERTEX SET and FEEDBACK VERTEX SET exhibit different computational complexity on split graphs, no similar characterization is known on other classes of graphs. Towards the understanding of the complexity difference between the two problems, it is natural to study the importance of structural graph parameters. Here we consider graphs of bounded independent set number for which it is known that WEIGHTED FEEDBACK VERTEX SET can be solved in polynomialtime. We provide a dichotomy result with respect to the size alpha OF a maximum independent set. In particular we show that WEIGHTED SUBSET FEEDBACK VERTEX SET can be solved in polynomialtime for graphs with alpha <= 3, whereas we prove that the problem remains NP-hard for graphs with alpha >= 4. Moreover, we show that the (unweighted) SUBSET FEEDBACK VERTEX SET problem can be solved in polynomialtime on graphs of bounded independent set number by giving an algorithm with running time n(O)(alpha). To complement our results, we demonstrate how our ideas can be extended to other terminal set problems on graphs of bounded independent set size. NODE MULTIWAY CUT is a terminal set problem that asks for a vertex set of minimum size that intersects all paths connecting any two terminals. Based on our findings for SUBSET FEEDBACK VERTEX SET, we settle the complexity of NODE MULTIWAY CUT as well as its variants where nodes are weighted and/or the terminals are deletable, for every value of the given independent set number.

This study concerns joint channel and power allocation scheme for multi-user orthogonal frequency division multiple access system. The author's highlight is margin adaptive (MA) resource allocation problem namely minimising the total transmit power of users with rate requirement constraints. MA is generally provable NP-hard;the typical methods are either to relax and round, or to fix the transmission mode of users (e.g. modulation and coding). Differently, they reorganise MA problem with only power variables left and design a novel relaxation scheme to enable the convexity. The polynomial-time algorithm-interior-point method-is employed to solve the relaxation problem and the theoretical complexity is further presented. Simulation results demonstrate that the author's scheme can provide high energy efficiency compared with the existing methods, 100% relative error bounds with respect to the optimum in most cases, and low computational complexity.

In the two disjoint shortest paths problem (2-DSPP), the input is a graph (or a digraph) and its vertex pairs (s(1), t(1)) and (S-2, t(2)), and the objective is to find two vertex-disjoint paths P-1 and P-2 such that P-i is a shortest path from s(i) to t(i) for i = 1, 2, if they exist. In this paper, we give a first polynomial-time algorithm for the undirected version of the 2-DSPP with an arbitrary non-negative edge length function. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The problem of counting the number of cuts with the minimum cardinality in an undirected multigraph arises in various applications such as testing the super-lambda-ness of a graph and calculating upper and lower bounds on the probabilistic connectedness of a stochastic graph G in which edges are subject to failure. This paper shows that the number \C(G)\ of cuts with the minimum cardinality lambda(G) in a multiple graph G = (V, E) can be computed in O(\E\ + lambda(G)\V\2 + lambda(G)\C(G) parallel-to V\) time.

The bipartization problem for a graph G asks for finding a subset S of V(G) such that the induced subgraph G[S] is bipartite and vertical bar S vertical bar is maximized. This problem has significant applications in the via minimization of VLSI design. The problem has been proved NP-complete and the fixed parameter solvability has been known in the literature. This paper presents several polynomial-time algorithms for special graph families, such as split graphs, co-bipartite graphs, chordal graphs, and permutation graphs.

We consider the concepts of a t-total vertex cover and a t-total edge cover (t >= 1), which generalise the notions of a vertex cover and an edge cover, respectively. A t-total vertex (respectively edge) cover of a connected graph G is a vertex (edge) cover S of G such that each connected component of the subgraph of G induced by S has at least t vertices (edges). These definitions are motivated by combining the concepts of clustering and covering in graphs. Moreover they yield a spectrum of parameters that essentially range from a vertex cover to a connected vertex cover (in the vertex case) and from an edge cover to a spanning tree (in the edge case). For various values of t, we present NP-completeness and approximability results (both upper and lower bounds) and FPT algorithms for problems concerned with finding the minimum size of a t-total vertex cover, t-total edge cover and connected vertex cover, in particular improving on a previous FPT algorithm for the latter problem.

A heuristic algorithm is developed for finding the maximum independent set of vertices in an undirected graph. To this end, the technique of finite partially ordered sets is used, in particular, the technique of partitioning such a set into a minimum number of chains. A special digraph is constructed and a solution algorithm is proposed on the basis of a hypothesis about its properties. Some experimental data are presented for well-known examples.
