Let G be a K-4-minor free graph with maximum degree Delta. We prove that the chromatic number of the square of G is at most (i) Delta + 3 if 2 less than or equal to Delta less than or equal to 3;or (ii) [3Delta/2] + 1 if Delta greater than or equal to 4. Examples are given to show the bounds can be attained. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In an order-specified multisignature scheme, one can verify not only a set of signers who have signed the message but also its signing order. Though we have seen several schemes with such properties proposed, none of them is given the security proof against active adversaries. The scheme [11] can be easily modified to be an order-specified multisignature scheme, but still has the restriction that the possible signing orders are only ones of the type of serial signing. In this paper, we propose the first order-specified multisignature scheme, which is shown to be secure against adaptive chosen-message insider attacks in the random oracle model [1], and which allows the signing orders to form like any series-parallel graphs. The security is shown by using ID-reduction technique, which reduces the security of multisignature schemes to those of multi-round identification schemes. Furthermore, we discuss the efficiency of the proposed scheme and the upper bound of the possible number of participating signers.

This paper presents the flow cost lowering problem (FCLP), which is an extension to the integral version of the well-known minimum cost flow problem (MCFP). While in the MCFP the flow costs are fixed, the FCLP admits lowering the flow cost, on each arc by upgrading the are. Given a flow value and a bound on the total budget which can be used for upgrading the arcs, the goal is to find an upgrade strategy and a flow of minimum cost. The FCLP is shown to be NP-hard even on series-parallel graphs. On the other hand the paper provides a polynomial time approximation algorithm on series-parallel graphs.

In this paper we study the dominant of the Steiner tree polytope. We introduce a new class of valid inequalities that generalizes the so-called odd hole, wheel, bipartite, anti-hole and Steiner partition inequalities introduced by Chopra and Rao (Math. Programming 64 (1994) 209-229, 231-246), and we give sufficient conditions for these inequalities to define facets. We describe some procedures that permit to construct facets from known ones for the dominant of the Steiner tree polytope and the closely related Steiner connected subgraph polytope. Using these methods we give a counterexample to a conjecture of Chopra and Rao on the dominant of the Steiner tree polytope on 2-trees. We also describe the dominant of the Steiner tree polytope and the Steiner connected subgraph polytope on special classes of graphs. In particular, we show that if the underlying graph is series-parallel and the terminals satisfy certain conditions, then both polyhedra are given by the trivial inequalities and the Steiner partition inequalities.

A subset of edges J subset of or equal to E(G) in a undirected graph G is called a join if at most half the edges of each cycle of G are contained in J. In this paper we consider the problem of finding a join of maximum weight: given a graph G and an edge weighting c:E(G) --> R, find a join of maximum weight. We show that the problem is NP-hard even in the case of 0, 1-weights, which answers a question of A. Frank in the negative. We also show that in the case of series-parallel graphs and arbitrary weights, the problem can be solved in time 0(n(3)), where n is the number of vertices in G. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.

The generalized theta graph Theta (S1,....Sk) consists of a pair of endvertices joined by k internally disjoint paths of lengths s(1),..., s(k) greater than or equal to 1. We prove that the roots of the chromatic polynomial pi(Theta (S1,...,Sk), z) of a k-ary generalized theta graph all lie in the disc \z- 1 \ less than or equal to [1 +o(1)] k/log k, uniformly in the path lengths s(1). Moreover, we prove that Theta (2,...,2) similar or equal to K-2,K-k indeed has a chromatic root of modulus [1 + o(1)] k/log k. Finally, for k less than or equal to 8 we prove that the generalized theta graph with a chromatic root that maximizes \ z - 1 \ is the one with all path lengths equal to 2;we conjecture that this holds for all k.

Given a network with n vertices and m edges where each edge has an independent operational probability, we are interested in finding a vertex of the network whose expected number of reachable vertices is maximum. Such a vertex is called a most reliable sourer of the network. This problem was studied by Melachrinoudis and Helander (1996) where an O(n(2)) time algorithm was proposed when the given network is a tree. In a more recent paper, Xue presented an O(n) time algorithm for this problem when the given network is a tree, in this paper, we present an O(n) time algorithm for computing the most reliable source on series-parallel graphs, using their embeddings in 2-trees.

Topological sorting is, given with a directed acyclic graph G = (V, E), to find a total ordering of the vertices such that if (u, v) is an element of E then u is ordered before v. Instead of topological sorting, we are interested in how many total orderings exist in a given directed acyclic graph. We call such a total ordering as legal sequence and the problem of finding total number of legal sequences as legal sequence number problem. In this paper, we firstly give necessary definitions and known results obtained in our previous research. Then we give a method how to obtain legal sequence number for a class of directed acyclic graphs, extended 2-b-SPGs. Finally we discuss the complexity of legal sequence number problem for extended 2-b-SPGs.

In this paper we consider the Steiner k-edge survivable network problem. We discuss the polytope associated with the solutions to that problem. We show that when the graph is series-parallel and k is even, the polytope is completely described by the trivial constraints and the so called Steiner-cut constraints. This generalizes recent work of Baiou and Mahjoub, SIAM J. Discrete Mathematics, vol. 10, pp. 505-514, 1997 for the case k = 2. As a consequence, we obtain in this case a linear description of the polyhedron associated with the problem when multiple copies of an edge are *** this paper we consider the Steiner k-edge survivable network problem.
