This paper proposes a novel method for recognizing a set of signals with linearly and nonlinearly included parameters from a given ensemble of signals under essential a priori uncertainty. Due to this uncertainty, well-known statistical methods become inapplicable. Signals may be present in an additive mixture containing an observation noise and a singular interference;the distribution law of the noise is unknown, and only its correlation matrix is specified. The novel method is invariant to this interference, does not require traditional state-space expansion, and ensures the decomposition and parallelization of the computational procedure. The signals and interference are represented using conventional linear spectral decompositions with unknown coefficients and given basis functions. Random and methodological errors, as well as the resulting computational effect, are analyzed. An illustrative example is provided.

Overlap graphs occur in computational biology and computer science, and have applications in genome sequencing, string compression, and machine scheduling. Given two strings and , their overlap string is defined as the longest string such that and , for some non empty strings , and its length is called the overlap between these two strings. A weighted directed graph is an overlap graph if there exists a set of strings with one-to-one correspondence to the vertices of the graph, such that each arc weight in the graph equals the overlap between the corresponding strings. In this paper, we characterize the class of overlap graphs, and we present a polynomial time recognition algorithm as a direct consequence. Given a weighted directed graph , the algorithm constructs a set of strings that has as its overlap graph, or decides that this is not possible.

A matroid M has all-graphic cocircuits if M\Y is a graphic matroid for every cocircuit Y is an element of C*(M). In Papalamprou and Pitsoulis (2013) it has been shown that signed-graphic matroids that are representable in GF(2) can be decomposed into graphic matroids and matroids with all-graphic cocircuits. In this paper we study this class of signed-graphic matroids with all-graphic cocircuits and provide the set of regular excluded minors as well as a complete characterization when the matroid is cographic, which in turn results in a simple recognition algorithm.

The graph sandwich problem for property Pi: is defined as follows: Given two graphs G(1) = (V, E(1)) and G(2) = (V, E(2)) such that E(1) subset of or equal to E(2), is there a graph G = (V, E) such that E(1) subset of or equal to E subset of or equal to E(2) which satisfies property Pi? Such problems generalize recognition problems and arise in various applications. Concentrating mainly on properties characterizing subfamilies of perfect graphs, we give polynomial algorithms for several properties and prove the NP-completeness of others. We describe polynomial time algorithms for threshold graphs, split graphs, and cographs. For the sandwich problem for threshold graphs, the only case in which a previous algorithm existed, we obtain a faster algorithm. NP-completeness proofs are given for comparability graphs, permutation graphs, and several other families. For Eulerian graphs;one Version of the problem is polynomial and another is NP-complete.

Truemper configurations are four types of graphs (namely thetas, wheels, prisms and pyramids) that play an important role in the proof of several decomposition theorems for hereditary graph classes. In this paper, we prove two structure theorems: one for graphs with no thetas, wheels and prisms as induced subgraphs, and one for graphs with no thetas, wheels and pyramids as induced subgraphs. A consequence is a polynomial time recognition algorithms for these two classes. In Part II of this series we generalize these results to graphs with no thetas and wheels as induced subgraphs, and in Parts III and IV, using the obtained structure, we solve several optimization problems for these graphs.

The paper presents evidence to suggest that the feature analytic process is insufficient to account for the phenomenon of pattern recognition. It is suggested that two processes are necessary prior to feature analysis. The first is termed perceptual input, and serves to define the context of each perceptual unit. (The perceptual unit is defined as the context-sensitive point, not the context-free feature.) the second process is termed figure-ground synthesis, and is seen to yield figural unity and context. General evidence supportive of the model is adduced. A rigorous formulation of this pre-analytic model is presented. In its detail, the model is, of course, highly speculative. A test of the model involving hand simulation with a complex example is presented. The paper concludes by noting certain shortcomings of the model and a likely next step in development.

In many combinatorial situations there is a notion of independence of a set of points. Maximal independent sets can be easily constructed by a greedy algorithm, and it is of interest to determine, for example, if they all have the same size or the same parity. Both of these questions may be formulated by weighting the points with elements of an abelian group, and asking whether all maximal independent sets have equal weight. If a set is independent precisely when its elements are pairwise independent, a graph can be used as a model. The question then becomes whether a graph, with its vertices weighted by elements of an abelian group, is well-covered, i.e., has all maximal independent sets of vertices with equal weight. This problem is known to be co-NP-complete in general. We show that whether a graph is well-covered or not depends on its local structure. Based on this, we develop an algorithm to recognize well-covered graphs. For graphs with n vertices and maximum degree Delta, it runs in linear time if Delta is bounded by a constant, and in polynomial time if Delta = O((3)root log n). We mention various applications to areas including hypergraph matchings and radius k independent sets. We extend our results to the problem of determining whether a graph has a weighting which makes it well-covered.

Graph bundles generalize the notion of covering graphs and graph products. In Imrich et al. (Discrete Math. 167/168 (1998) 393) authors constructed an algorithm that finds a presentation as a nontrivial cartesian graph bundle for all graphs that are cartesian graph bundles over triangle-free simple base using the relation delta(*) having the square property. An equivalence relation R on the edge set of a graph has the (unique) square property if and only if any pair of adjacent edges which belong to distinct R-equivalence classes span exactly one induced 4-cycle (with opposite edges in the same R-equivalence class). In this paper we define the unique square property and show that any weakly 2-convex equivalence relation possessing the unique square property determines the fundamental factorization of a graph as a nontrivial cartesian graph bundle over an arbitrary base graph, whenever it separates degenerate and nondegenerate edges of the factorization.

Hasebe and Tsujie characterized the set of induced N-free and bowtie-free posets as a certain class of recursively defined subposets which they term "V-posets". Here we offer a new characterization of V-posets by introducing a property we refer to as autonomy. A poset P is said to be autonomous if there exists a directed acyclic graph D (with adjacency matrix U) whose transitive closure is P, with the property that any total ordering of the vertices of D so that Gaussian elimination of UT U proceeds without row swaps is a linear extension of P. Autonomous posets arise from the theory of pressing sequences in graphs, a problem with origins in computational evolutionary biology. The pressing sequences of a graph can be partitioned into families corresponding to posets;because of the interest in enumerating pressing sequences, we investigate when this partition has only one block, that is, when the pressing sequences are all linear extensions of a single autonomous poset. We also provide an efficient algorithm for recognition of autonomy using structural information and the forbidden subposet characterization, and we discuss a few open questions that arise in connection with these posets.

In this paper we consider the class of simple graphs defined by excluding, as induced subgraphs, even holes (i.e. chordless cycles of even length). These graphs are known as even-hole-free graphs. We prove a decomposition theorem for even-hole-free graphs, that uses star cutsets and 2-joins. This is a significant strengthening of the only other previously known decomposition of even-hole-free graphs, by Conforti, Cornuejols, Kapoor and Vuskovic, that uses 2-joins and star, double star and triple star cutsets. It is also analogous to the decomposition of Berge (i.e. perfect) graphs with skew cutsets, 2-joins and their complements, by Chudnovsky, Robertson, Seymour and Thomas. The similarity between even-hole-free graphs and Berge graphs is higher than the similarity between even-hole-free graphs and simply odd-hole-free graphs, since excluding a 4-hole, automatically excludes all antiholes of length at least 6. In a graph that does not contain a 4-hole, a skew cutset reduces to a star cutset, and a 2-join in the complement implies a star cutset, so in a way it was expected that even-hole-free graphs can be decomposed with just the star cutsets and 2-joins. A consequence of this decomposition theorem is a recognition algorithm for even-hole-free graphs that is significantly faster than the previously known ones. (C) 2012 Elsevier Inc.
