Abstract
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 1438-1450, June 2024. Abstract. We give an approximate Menger-type theorem for the case when a graph [math] contains two [math] paths [math] and [math] such that [math] is an induced subgraph of [math]. More generally, we prove that there exists a function [math], such that for every graph [math] and [math], either there exist two [math] paths [math] and [math] such that the distance between [math] and [math] is at least [math], or there exists [math] such that the ball of radius [math] centered at [math] intersects every [math] path.
期刊介绍:
SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics (SIDMA) publishes research papers of exceptional quality in pure and applied discrete mathematics, broadly interpreted. The journal''s focus is primarily theoretical rather than empirical, but the editors welcome papers that evolve from or have potential application to real-world problems. Submissions must be clearly written and make a significant contribution.
Topics include but are not limited to:
properties of and extremal problems for discrete structures
combinatorial optimization, including approximation algorithms
algebraic and enumerative combinatorics
coding and information theory
additive, analytic combinatorics and number theory
combinatorial matrix theory and spectral graph theory
design and analysis of algorithms for discrete structures
discrete problems in computational complexity
discrete and computational geometry
discrete methods in computational biology, and bioinformatics
probabilistic methods and randomized algorithms.
