Balanced Connected Subgraph Problem in Geometric Intersection Graphs (1909.03872v1)

Published 9 Sep 2019 in cs.DM

Abstract: We study the Balanced Connected Subgraph(shortly, BCS) problem on geometric intersection graphs such as interval, circular-arc, permutation, unit-disk, outer-string graphs, etc. Given a vertex-colored graph $G=(V,E)$, where each vertex in $V$ is colored with either red'' orblue'', the BCS problem seeks a maximum cardinality induced connected subgraph $H$ of $G$ such that $H$ is color-balanced, i.e., $H$ contains an equal number of red and blue vertices. We study the computational complexity landscape of the BCS problem while considering geometric intersection graphs. On one hand, we prove that the BCS problem is NP-hard on the unit disk, outer-string, complete grid, and unit square graphs. On the other hand, we design polynomial-time algorithms for the BCS problem on interval, circular-arc and permutation graphs. In particular, we give algorithm for the Steiner Tree problem on both the interval graphs and circular arc graphs, that is used as a subroutine for solving BCS problem on same graph classes. Finally, we present a FPT algorithm for the BCS problem on general graphs.
