The S-rule and 1-d representation for the traversal of a planar graph in AEC industry

Abstract

Based on two trivial observations of the AEC industry, this paper proposes a traversal method ("S-rule") and expression ("1-dimensional-graph") transformed from DFS. This traversal method conforms to the original cognitive logic of the AEC industry, and the 1-d expression has clear language characteristics while completely retaining the topological relationship of the planar graph : a sequence of finite symbols (vocabularies) under definite rules. Moreover, the language can be restored to a standard 2-d form that is isomorphic to the original planar graph, thus ensuring its visualization characteristics. Fragments of the 1-d language can be used as planar units for free combination and weighting, and as the data foundation to support advanced calculations including FEM and isomorphic matching. And after the 2-d graph is reduced to 1-d, any 3-d or higher-dimensional graphs can also be reduced to 1 or 2 dimensions. The first half of this paper (Chapter 1) takes the 4X4 standard grid as an example to introduce the prototype of S-rule and 1-d expression, and gives the mapping rule from 1-d expression to its editable text form. In the second half of this paper, the rule and expression are gradually extended to non-embedded planar graphs (Chapter 2) and embedded planar graphs (Chapter 3), and the "grammar" is finally summarized (Chapter 4).

On Perfect Divisibility of Bull-Free Graphs Without Long Paths

A graph $G$ is {\em perfectly divisible} if, for every induced subgraph $H$ of $G$, $V(H)$ can be partitioned into $A$ and $B$ such that $H[A]$ is perfect and $ω(H[B])<ω(H)$. Chudnovsky and Sivaraman [J. Graph Theory \textbf{90} (2019) 54-60] proved that every ($P_5$, bull)-free graph is perfectly divisible, while Chen and Xu [Discrete Appl. Math. \textbf{372} (2025) 298-307] proved the same for ($P_7,C_5$, bull)-free graphs. We extend these results by proving that every ($P_8,C_5$, bull)-free graph is perfectly divisible and that, letting $F$ denote the Grötzsch graph, a ($P_6$, bull)-free graph is perfectly divisible if and only if it is $F$-free.

Covering graphs by isometric trees

A connected subgraph of a graph is isometric if it preserves distances. Recently, graphs admitting a vertex or edge covering by a small number of isometric paths have been studied. In this paper, we consider the analogous problem for isometric trees, focusing on the treewidth of graphs admitting a vertex or edge covering by a small number of such trees. Baste, De Meyer, Giocanti, Objois, and Picavet showed that for coverings by two isometric trees, the treewidth is bounded. We show that already for three isometric trees, the treewidth can be linear in the number of vertices. On the positive side, we show that for graphs of bounded degree coverable by a small number of isometric trees, the treewidth is sublinear in the number of vertices.

Tree-independence number of $P_5$-free graphs with no large bicliques

The tree-independence number of a graph is the minimum, over all tree-decompositions of the graph, of the maximum size of an independent set contained in a bag. Graph classes of bounded tree-independence number have strong structural and algorithmic properties; however, the parameter can be unbounded even in quite restricted classes. In particular, the presence of an induced biclique $K_{\ell,\ell}$ forces tree-independence number at least $\ell$. This leads to the question whether large induced bicliques are the only obstruction to bounded tree-independence number in natural hereditary classes. A conjecture of Dallard, Krnc, Kwon, Milanič, Munaro, Štorgel, and Wiederrecht states that for all positive integers $t$ and $\ell$, ${\{P_t,K_{\ell,\ell}\}}$-free graphs have bounded tree-independence number. We prove this conjecture for ${t=5}$ by showing that every ${\{P_5,K_{\ell,\ell}\}}$-free graph has tree-independence number at most ${4\ell-4}$. We also obtain related bounds for the weaker parameter of $α$-degeneracy and answer a question of Hilaire, Milanič, and Vasić whether tree-independence number of ${\{P_5,K_{\ell,\ell}\}}$-free graphs exceeds $\ell$ by at most an additive constant.
