Abstract

Chordal graph shelling antimatroids have received little attention with regard to their combinatorial properties and related optimization problems, as compared to the case of poset shelling antimatroids. Here we consider a special case of these antimatroids, namely the split graph shelling antimatroids. We show that the feasible sets of such an antimatroid relate to some poset shelling antimatroids constructed from the graph. We discuss a few applications, obtaining in particular a simple polynomial-time algorithm to find a maximum weight feasible set. We also provide a simple description of the circuits and the free sets.

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 $β= 0$.
