In terms of speed, the Wallace-tree compressor (i.e. bit-level carry-save addition array) is widely recognised as one of the most effective schemes for implementing arithmetic computations in VLSI design. However, the scheme has been applied only in a rather restrictive way, i.e. for implementing fast multipliers and for generating fixed structures without considering the characteristic of the input signals. The authors address the problem of optimising arithmetic circuits to overcome those limitations. A polynomial time algorithm is presented which generates a delay-optimal carry-save addition structure of an arithmetic circuit with uneven signal arrival profiles. This algorithm has been applied to the optimisation of high-speed digital filters and 5-30% savings have been achieved in the overall filter implementation in comparison to the standard carry-save implementation.

A clique of a graph G is defined as a complete subgraph maximal under inclusion and having at least two vertices. A clique-transversal set D of G is a subset of vertices of G such that D meets all cliques of G. The clique-transversal set problem is to find a minimum clique-transversal set of G. In this paper we present a polynomial time algorithm for the clique-transversal set problem on claw-free graphs with degree at most 4. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we formulate a problem that is a variant of the knapsack problem. Even though the problem is NP-hard in general, we consider a special case of the problem where the problem is in P. For this special case, the proposed algorithm is linear time complexity in the number of bins. The proposed framework is a generalization of the framework that has been used recently in the context of finding rate adaptation algorithms for video streaming.

Let u and upsilon be two vertices in a graph G. We say vertex u dominates vertex upsilon if N(upsilon) subset of N(u) boolean OR {u}. If u dominates upsilon or upsilon dominates u, then u and upsilon are comparable. The Dilworth number of a graph G, denoted as Dil(G), is the largest number of pairwise incomparable vertices in the graph G. A graph G is called quasi-claw-free if it satisfies the property: d(x, y) = 2 double right arrow there exists u is an element of N(x) n N(y) such that N[u] subset of N[x] boolean OR N[y]. A graph is called {quasi-claw, K-1.5, K-1.5 + e}-free if it is quasi-claw-free and contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to K-1.5 or K-1.5 + e, where K-1.5 + e is a graph obtained by joining a pair of nonadjacent vertices in K-1.5. It is shown that if G is a k (k >= 2)-connected {quasi-claw, K-1.5, K-1.5 + e}-free graph with Dil(G) <= 2k - 1, then G is Hamiltonian and a Hamiltonian cycle in G can be found in polynomialtime.

This paper presents heuristics that are based on optimal partitioning of a travelling salesman tour, for solving the unequal weight delivery problem. The worst case error performance is given as a bound on the worst case ratio of the cost of the heuristic solution to the cost of the optimal solution. A fully polynomial procedure which consists of applying the optimal partitioning to a travelling salesman tour generated by Christofides' heuristic has a worst case error bound of 3.5−3/ Q where Q is the capacity limit of the vehicles. When optimal partitioning is applied to an optimal travelling salesman tour, the worst case error bound becomes 3−2/ Q .

A critical issue in supply chain management is coordinating the decisions made by decision makers at different stages, for example a supplier and one or several manufacturers. We model this issue by assuming that both the supplier and each manufacturer have an ideal schedule, determined by their own costs and constraints. An interchange cost is incurred by the supplier or a manufacturer whenever the relative order of two jobs in its actual schedule is different from that in its ideal schedule. An intermediate storage buffer is available to resequence the jobs between the two stages. We consider the problems of finding an optimal supplier's schedule, an optimal manufacturer's schedule, and optimal schedules for both. The objective functions we consider are the minimization of total interchange cost, and of total interchange plus buffer storage cost. We describe efficient algorithms for all the supplier's and manufacturers' problems, as well as for a special case of the joint scheduling problem. The running time of these algorithms is polynomial in both the number of jobs and the number of manufacturers. Finally, we identify conditions under which cooperation between the supplier and a manufacturer reduces their total cost. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A graph G is locally connected if for every nu is an element of V(G) the open neighbourhood N(nu) of nu is nonempty and induces a connected graph in G. We characterize locally connected graphs of order n with less than 2n edges and show that for any natural number k the Hamilton Cycle Problem for locally connected graphs of order n with m edges is polynomially solvable if m <= 2n + k log(2) n, but NP-complete if m = 2n + [n(1/k)].

We initiate a general study of what we call orientation completion problems. For a fixed class C of oriented graphs, the orientation completion problem asks whether a given partially oriented graph P can be completed to an oriented graph in. by orienting the (nonoriented) edges in P. Orientation completion problems commonly generalize several existing problems including recognition of certain classes of graphs and digraphs as well as extending representations of certain geometrically representable graphs. We study orientation completion problems for various classes of oriented graphs, including k-arc-strong oriented graphs, k-strong oriented graphs, quasi-transitive-oriented graphs, local tournaments, acyclic local tournaments, locally transitive tournaments, locally transitive local tournaments, in-tournaments, and oriented graphs that have directed cycle factors. We show that the orientation completion problem for each of these classes is either polynomialtime solvable or NP-complete. We also show that some of the NP-complete problems become polynomialtime solvable when the input-oriented graphs satisfy certain extra conditions. Our results imply that the representation extension problems for proper interval graphs and for proper circular arc graphs are polynomialtime solvable. The latter generalizes a previous result.

Let G = (V(G). E(G)) be a finite connected undirected graph and W subset of V(G) a subset of vertices. We are searching for a subset X subset of V(G) such that W subset of X and the subgraph induced on X is a tree. N P-completeness results and polynomial time algorithms are given assuming that the cardinality of W is fixed or not. Besides we give complexity results when X has to induce a path or when G is a weighted graph. We also consider problems where the cardinality of X has to be minimized. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

A set D of vertices in a graph G is a paired-dominating set of G if every vertex of G is adjacent to a vertex in D and the subgraph induced by D contains a perfect matching (not necessarily as an induced subgraph). A paired-dominating set of G is minimal if no proper subset of it is a paired-dominating set of G. The upper paired-domination number of G, denoted by Gamma(pr)(G), is the maximum cardinality of a minimal paired-dominating set of G. In UPPER PDS, it is required to compute a minimal paired dominating set with cardinality Gamma(pr)(G) for a given graph G. In this paper, we show that UPPER-PDS cannot be approximated within a factor of n(1-epsilon) for any epsilon > 0, unless P=NP and UPPER-PDS is APX-complete for bipartite graphs of maximum degree 4. On the positive side, we show that UPPER PDS can be approximated within O(Delta)-factor for graphs with maximum degree Delta. We also show that UPPER-PDS is solvable in polynomialtime for threshold graphs, chain graphs, and proper interval graphs. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
