TL;DR: This paper shows that a number of NP - complete problems remain NP -complete even when their domains are substantially restricted, and determines essentially the lowest possible upper bounds on node degree for which the problems remainNP -complete.
TL;DR: Every minor-closed class of graphs that does not contain all planar graphs has a linear-time recognition algorithm that determines whether the treewidth of G is at most at most some constant $k$ and finds a tree-decomposition of G withtreewidth at most k.
Abstract: In this paper, we give for constant $k$ a linear-time algorithm that, given a graph $G=(V,E)$, determines whether the treewidth of $G$ is at most $k$ and, if so, finds a tree-decomposition of $G$ with treewidth at most $k$. A consequence is that every minor-closed class of graphs that does not contain all planar graphs has a linear-time recognition algorithm. Another consequence is that a similar result holds when we look instead for path-decompositions with pathwidth at most some constant $k$.
TL;DR: An invariant of graphs called the tree-width is introduced, and used to obtain a polynomially bounded algorithm to test if a graph has a subgraph contractible to H, where H is any fixed planar graph.
TL;DR: A novel graph embedding algorithm, High-Order Proximity preserved Embedding (HOPE for short), is developed, which is scalable to preserve high-order proximities of large scale graphs and capable of capturing the asymmetric transitivity.
Abstract: Graph embedding algorithms embed a graph into a vector space where the structure and the inherent properties of the graph are preserved The existing graph embedding methods cannot preserve the asymmetric transitivity well, which is a critical property of directed graphs Asymmetric transitivity depicts the correlation among directed edges, that is, if there is a directed path from u to v, then there is likely a directed edge from u to v Asymmetric transitivity can help in capturing structures of graphs and recovering from partially observed graphs To tackle this challenge, we propose the idea of preserving asymmetric transitivity by approximating high-order proximity which are based on asymmetric transitivity In particular, we develop a novel graph embedding algorithm, High-Order Proximity preserved Embedding (HOPE for short), which is scalable to preserve high-order proximities of large scale graphs and capable of capturing the asymmetric transitivity More specifically, we first derive a general formulation that cover multiple popular high-order proximity measurements, then propose a scalable embedding algorithm to approximate the high-order proximity measurements based on their general formulation Moreover, we provide a theoretical upper bound on the RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) of the approximation Our empirical experiments on a synthetic dataset and three real-world datasets demonstrate that HOPE can approximate the high-order proximities significantly better than the state-of-art algorithms and outperform the state-of-art algorithms in tasks of reconstruction, link prediction and vertex recommendation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a classification scheme for Monocyclic systems based on the Huckel Spectrum and the Cayley Generation Functions. But they do not discuss the role of Kekule structures in chemistry.
