We study the dynamic and complexity of the generalized Q2R automaton. We show the existence of non-polynomial cycles as well as its capability to simulate with the synchronous update the classical version of the automaton updated under a block sequential update scheme. Furthermore, we show that the decision problem consisting in determine if a given node in the network changes its state is textbf{P}-Hard.
We prove that for every $n$-vertex graph $G$, the extension complexity of the correlation polytope of $G$ is $2^{O(mathrm{tw}(G) + log n)}$, where $mathrm{tw}(G)$ is the treewidth of $G$. Our main result is that this bound is tight for graphs contained in minor-closed classes.
J. Makowsky and B. Zilber (2004) showed that many variations of graph colorings, called CP-colorings in the sequel, give rise to graph polynomials. This is true in particular for harmonious colorings, convex colorings, mcc_t-colorings, and rainbow co
lorings, and many more. N. Linial (1986) showed that the chromatic polynomial $chi(G;X)$ is #P-hard to evaluate for all but three values X=0,1,2, where evaluation is in P. This dichotomy includes evaluation at real or complex values, and has the further property that the set of points for which evaluation is in P is finite. We investigate how the complexity of evaluating univariate graph polynomials that arise from CP-colorings varies for different evaluation points. We show that for some CP-colorings (harmonious, convex) the complexity of evaluation follows a similar pattern to the chromatic polynomial. However, in other cases (proper edge colorings, mcc_t-colorings, H-free colorings) we could only obtain a dichotomy for evaluations at non-negative integer points. We also discuss some CP-colorings where we only have very partial results.
Let $G$ be a graph such that each edge has its list of available colors, and assume that each list is a subset of the common set consisting of $k$ colors. Suppose that we are given two list edge-colorings $f_0$ and $f_r$ of $G$, and asked whether the
re exists a sequence of list edge-colorings of $G$ between $f_0$ and $f_r$ such that each list edge-coloring can be obtained from the previous one by changing a color assignment of exactly one edge. This problem is known to be PSPACE-complete for every integer $k ge 6$ and planar graphs of maximum degree three, but any complexity hardness was unknown for the non-list variant. In this paper, we first improve the known result by proving that, for every integer $k ge 4$, the problem remains PSPACE-complete even if an input graph is planar, bounded bandwidth, and of maximum degree three. We then give the first complexity hardness result for the non-list variant: for every integer $k ge 5$, we prove that the non-list variant is PSPACE-complete even if an input graph is planar, of bandwidth linear in $k$, and of maximum degree $k$.
Correspondence homomorphisms are both a generalization of standard homomorphisms and a generalization of correspondence colourings. For a fixed target graph $H$, the problem is to decide whether an input graph $G$, with each edge labeled by a pair of
permutations of $V(H)$, admits a homomorphism to $H$ `corresponding to the labels, in a sense explained below. We classify the complexity of this problem as a function of the fixed graph $H$. It turns out that there is dichotomy -- each of the problems is polynomial-time solvable or NP-complete. While most graphs $H$ yield NP-complete problems, there are interesting cases of graphs $H$ for which the problem is solved by Gaussian elimination. We also classify the complexity of the analogous correspondence {em list homomorphism} problems, and also the complexity of a {em bipartite version} of both problems. We emphasize the proofs for the case when $H$ is reflexive, but, for the record, we include a rough sketch of the remaining proofs in an Appendix.
Diffusion-Limited Aggregation (DLA) is a cluster-growth model that consists in a set of particles that are sequentially aggregated over a two-dimensional grid. In this paper, we introduce a biased version of the DLA model, in which particles are limi
ted to move in a subset of possible directions. We denote by $k$-DLA the model where the particles move only in $k$ possible directions. We study the biased DLA model from the perspective of Computational Complexity, defining two decision problems The first problem is Prediction, whose input is a site of the grid $c$ and a sequence $S$ of walks, representing the trajectories of a set of particles. The question is whether a particle stops at site $c$ when sequence $S$ is realized. The second problem is Realization, where the input is a set of positions of the grid, $P$. The question is whether there exists a sequence $S$ that realizes $P$, i.e. all particles of $S$ exactly occupy the positions in $P$. Our aim is to classify the Prediciton and Realization problems for the differe
