Algorithmic perspective on Hamiltonicity, path cover, and independence number in graphs.
Abstract
The content discusses the algorithmic perspective on fundamental graph theory concepts like Hamiltonicity, path cover, and independence numbers. It introduces novel approaches to solving classical problems in graph theory, focusing on fixed-parameter tractability (FPT) parameterized by the independence number of a graph. The paper explores the interplay between Hamiltonicity and independence numbers, presenting significant results and algorithmic methodologies. It also delves into the structural parameterization of graphs with bounded independence numbers, highlighting key contributions and the extension of classic theorems. The content provides insights into the complexity of graph problems and the development of parameterized algorithms.
