A hinge vertex is a vertex in an undirected graph such that there exist two vertices whose removal makes the distance between them longer than before. Identifying hinge vertices in a graph can help detect critical nodes in communication network systems, which is useful for making them more stable. For finding them, an O(n3) time algorithm was developed for a simple graph, and, linear time algorithms were developed for interval and permutation graphs, respectively. Recently, the maximum detour hinge vertex problem is defined by Honma et al. For a hinge vertex u in a graph, the detour degree of u is the largest value of distance between any pair of x and y (x and y are adjacent to u) by removing u. A hinge vertex with the largest detour degree in G is defined as the maximum detour hinge vertex of G. This problem is motivated by practical applications, such as network stabilization with a limited cost, i.e., by enhancing the reliability of the maximum detour hinge vertex, the stability of the network is much improved. We previously developed an O(n2) time algorithm for solving this problem on an interval graph. In this study, we propose an algorithm that identifies the maximum detour hinge vertex on a permutation graph in O(n2) time, where n is the number of vertices in the graph.

In this letter, we derive two lower bounds for the number of terms in a double-base number system (DBNS), when the digit set is {1}. For a positive integer n, we show that the number of terms obtained from the greedy algorithm proposed by Dimitrov, Imbert, and Mishra [1] is $Thetaleft(rac{log n}{log log n} ight)$. Also, we show that the number of terms in the shortest double-base chain is Θ(log n).

In this paper, we improve a width-3 joint sparse form proposed by Okeya, Katoh, and Nogami. After the improvement, the representation can attain an asymtotically optimal complexity found in our previous work. Although claimed as optimal by the authors, the average computation time of multi-scalar multiplication obtained by the representation is 563/1574n+o(n)≈0.3577n+o(n). That number is larger than the optimal complexity 281/786n+o(n)≈0.3575n+o(n) found in our previous work. To optimize the width-3 joint sparse form, we add more cases to the representation. After the addition, we can show that the complexity is updated to 281/786n+o(n)≈0.3575n+o(n), which implies that the modified representation is asymptotically optimal. Compared to our optimal algorithm in the previous work, the modified width-3 joint sparse form uses less dynamic memory, but it consumes more static memory.

Consider a simple undirected graph G = (V,E) with vertex set V and edge set E. Let G-u be a subgraph induced by the vertex set V-{u}. The distance δG(x,y) is defined as the length of the shortest path between vertices x and y in G. The vertex u ∈ V is a hinge vertex if there exist two vertices x,y ∈ V-{u} such that δG-u(x,y)>δG(x,y). Let U be a set consisting of all hinge vertices of G. The neighborhood of u is the set of all vertices adjacent to u and is denoted by N(u). We define d(u) = max{δG-u(x,y) | δG-u(x,y)>δG(x,y),x,y ∈ N(u)} for u ∈ U as detour degree of u. A maximum detour hinge vertex problem is to find a hinge vertex u with maximum d(u) in G. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm to find the maximum detour hinge vertex on an interval graph that runs in O(n2) time, where n is the number of vertices in the graph.

Given a simple connected graph G with n vertices, the spanning tree problem involves finding a tree that connects all the vertices of G. Solutions to this problem have applications in electrical power provision, computer network design, circuit analysis, among others. It is known that highly efficient sequential or parallel algorithms can be developed by restricting classes of graphs. Circular trapezoid graphs are proper superclasses of trapezoid graphs. In this paper, we propose an O(n) time algorithm for the spanning tree problem on a circular trapezoid graph. Moreover, this algorithm can be implemented in O(log n) time with O(n/log n) processors on EREW PRAM computation model.

Let Gs=(Vs, Es) be a simple connected graph. A vertex v ∈ Vs is an articulation vertex if deletion of v and its incident edges from Gs disconnects the graph into at least two connected components. Finding all articulation vertices of a given graph is called the articulation vertex problem. A vertex u ∈ Vs is called a hinge vertex if there exist any two vertices x and y in Gs whose distance increase when u is removed. Finding all hinge vertices of a given graph is called the hinge vertex problem. These problems can be applied to improve the stability and robustness of communication network systems. In this paper, we propose linear time algorithms for the articulation vertex problem and the hinge vertex problem of circular permutation graphs.

In an undirected graph, the feedback vertex set (FVS for short) problem is to find a set of vertices of minimum cardinality whose removal makes the graph acyclic. The FVS has applications to several areas such that combinatorial circuit design, synchronous systems, computer systems, VLSI circuits and so on. The FVS problem is known to be NP-hard on general graphs but interesting polynomial solutions have been found for some special classes of graphs. In this paper, we present an O(n2.68 + γn) time algorithm for solving the FVS problem on trapezoid graphs, where γ is the total number of factors included in all maximal cliques.

In this letter we give a lower bound on the worst-case time complexity of Dijkstra's three-state mutual exclusion algorithm by specifying a concrete behavior of the algorithm. We also show that our result is more accurate than the known best bound.
In this paper, we consider the problem of multicasting a message in k-ary n-cubes under the store-and-forward model. The objective of the problem is to minimize the size of the resultant multicast tree by keeping the distance to each destination over the tree the same as the distance in the original graph. In the following, we first propose an algorithm that grows a multicast tree in a greedy manner, in the sense that for each intermediate vertex of the tree, the outgoing edges of the vertex are selected in a non-increasing order of the number of destinations that can use the edge in a shortest path to the destination. We then evaluate the goodness of the algorithm in terms of the worst case ratio of the size of the generated tree to the size of an optimal tree. It is proved that for any k 5 and n 6, the performnance ratio of the greedy algorithm is c kn - o(n) for some constant 1/12 c 1/2.
