Abstract

The Wiener index is one of the oldest graph parameter which is used to study molecular-graph-based structure. This parameter was first proposed by Harold Wiener in 1947 to determining the boiling point of paraffin. The Wiener index of a molecular graph measures the compactness of the underlying molecule. This parameter is wide studied area for molecular chemistry. It is used to study the physio-chemical properties of the underlying organic compounds. The Wiener index of a connected graph is denoted by W(G) and is defined as, that is W(G) is the sum of distances between all pairs (ordered) of vertices of G. In this paper, we give the algorithmic idea to find the Wiener index of some graphs, like cactus graphs and intersection graphs, viz. interval, circular-arc, permutation, trapezoid graphs.

Factorisability of Low Dimensional Non-Negative Integer Matrices

We consider the problem of determining if a given two-dimensional nonnegative integer matrix $M$ is the product of two such matrices, excluding trivial units. A matrix $M$ with no such factorisation is called prime and therefore belongs to the minimal (infinite rank) generator of $2 \times 2$ matrices over the natural numbers, otherwise it is called composite. We also consider the problem of finding a (non-unique) factorisation of a composite matrix. Our results have applications in computational group theory and the theory of codes, where such matrices are called incidence matrices. We analyse the complexity of primality and finding a factorisation for a composite matrix, providing a first efficient algorithm.

The parameterised complexity of generalised temporal domination on temporal graphs with modular structure

Inspired by the static problem $(α,β)$-Dominating Set, we propose a general temporal domination problem, called $(α,β)$-Temporal Dominating Set ($(α,β)$-TDS). We show that this problem encompasses Temporal Dominating Set, and additionally provides first temporal extensions of problems such as $k$-Dominating Set and $α$-Dominating Set. In this paper, we study the parameterised complexity of $(α,β)$-TDS with respect to temporal neighbourhood diversity (TND), temporal modular-width (TMW), and temporal cliquewidth (TCW). We obtain fixed parameter tractability results for all values of $α$ and $β$ with respect to TND; W[1]-hardness with respect to TMW and TCW whenever $β$ is in the problem input, or whenever $α\in (0,1)$ and $β$ is a fixed constant; and para-NP-hardness with respect to TCW when $α= 0$ and $β= 1$, or $α= 1$ and $β= 0$.
