In particular, we prove that for any tree T of order n ≥ 3, the diameter of its γ-graph is at most n/2 in the single vertex replacement adjacency model, whereas in the slide adjacency model, it is at most 2(n − 1)/3. Our proof is constructive, leading to a simple linear-time algorithm for determining the optimal sequence of “moves” between two minimum dominating sets of a tree.","PeriodicalId":35667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications","volume":"24 1","pages":"47-61"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71225077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 2009, Panda and Das show that all connected unit interval graphs are rigid interval graphs. Generalizing the two classic graph search algorithms, Lexicographic Breadth-First Search (LBFS) and Maximum Cardinality Search (MCS), Corneil and Krueger propose in 2008 the so-called Maximal Neighborhood Search (MNS) and show that one sweep of MNS is enough to recognize chordal graphs. We develop the MNS properties of rigid interval graphs and characterize this graph class in several dierent ways. This allows us obtain several linear time multi-sweep MNS algorithms for recognizing rigid interval graphs and unit interval graphs, generalizing a corresponding 3-sweep LBFS algorithm for unit interval graph recognition designed by Corneil in 2004. For unit interval graphs, we even present a new linear time 2-sweep MNS certifying recognition algorithm.","PeriodicalId":35667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications","volume":"17 1","pages":"245-264"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71224847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we study the problem of simultaneous detection of both borders of a doughnut-shaped and smooth objects in 2-D medical images. Image objects of that shape are often studied in medical applications. We present an O(IJU(U-L)logJUlog(U-L)) time algorithm, where the size of the input 2-D image is I x J, M is the smoothness parameter with 1 </= M </= J, and L and U are the thickness parameters specifying the thickness between two border contours of a doughnut-shaped object. Previous approaches for solving this segmentation problem are computationally expensive and/or need a lot of user interference. Our algorithm improves the straightforward dynamic programming algorithm by a factor of O(J(U-L)M2UlogJUlog(U-L)). We explore some interesting observations, which make possible to apply the divide-and-conquer strategy combined with dynamic programming. Our algorithm is also based on computing optimal paths in an implicitly represented graph.</p>","PeriodicalId":35667,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications","volume":"11 1","pages":"215-237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2768307/pdf/nihms75919.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"28093448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
