A class of graphs is called monotone if it is closed under deletion of vertices and edges. Any such class may be defined in terms of forbidden subgraphs. The chromatic index of a graph is the smallest number of colors required for its edge-coloring such that any two adjacent edges have different colors. We obtain ...

The task of complete complexity dichotomy is to clearly distinguish between easy and hard cases of a given problem on a family of subproblems. We consider this task for some optimization problems restricted to certain classes of graphs closed under deletion of vertices. A concept in the solution process is based on revealing the so-called ...

The edge list-ranking problem is a generalization of the classical edge coloring problem, and it is a mathematical model for some parallel processes. The computational complexity of this problem is under study for graph sets closed under isomorphism and deletion of vertices (hereditary classes). Allfinitely defined and minor-closed cases are described for which the problem ...

The notion is introduced of an expanding operator for the independent set problem. This notion is a useful tool for the constructive formation of new cases with the efficient solvability of the problem in the family of hereditary classes of graphs and is applied to hereditary parts of the set Free({P_5,C_5}). It is proved that ...

The vertex colourability problem is to determine, for a given graph and a given natural k, whether it is possible to split the graph’s vertex set into at most k subsets, each of pairwise non-adjacent vertices, or not. A hereditary class is a set of simple graphs, closed under deletion of vertices. Any such a class can be ...

The coloring problem is studied in the paper for graph classes defined by two small forbidden induced subgraphs. We prove some sufficient conditions for effective solvability of the problem in such classes.

The notions of boundary and minimal hard classes of graphs, united by the term “critical classes”, are useful tools for analysis of computational complexity of graph problems in the family of hereditary graph classes. In this family, boundary classes are known for several graph problems. In the paper, we consider critical graph classes in the ...

The quadratic programming problem is known to be NP-hard for Hessian matrices with only one negative eigenvalue, but it is tractable for convex instances. These facts yield to consider the number of negative eigenvalues as a complexity measure
of quadratic programs. We prove here that the clique problem is tractable for two variants of its Motzkin-Strauss ...

This paper investigates the computational complexity of deciding if a given finite idempotent algebra has a ternary term operation m that satisfies the minority equations m(y,x,x)≈m(x,y,x)≈m(x,x,y)≈y . We show that a common polynomial-time approach to testing for this type of condition will not work in this case and that this decision problem lies in the class NP. ...
