Quantum walks have received a great deal of attention recently because they can be used to develop new quantum algorithms and to simulate interesting quantum systems. In this work, we focus on a model called staggered quantum walk, which employs advanced ideas of graph theory and has the advantage of including the most important instances of other discrete-time models. The evolution operator of the staggered model is obtained from a tessellation cover, which is defined in terms of a set of partitions of the graph into cliques. It is important to establish the minimum number of tessellations required in a tessellation cover, and what classes of graphs admit a small number of tessellations. We describe two main results: (1) infinite classes of graphs where we relate the chromatic number of the clique graph to the minimum number of tessellations required in a tessellation cover, and (2) the problem of deciding whether a graph is $k$-tessellable for $kge 3$ is NP-complete.

A tessellation of a graph is a partition of its vertices into vertex disjoint cliques. A tessellation cover of a graph is a set of tessellations that covers all of its edges. The $t$-tessellability problem aims to decide whether there is a tessellati
on cover of the graph with $t$ tessellations. This problem is motivated by its applications to quantum walk models, in especial, the evolution operator of the staggered model is obtained from a graph tessellation cover. We establish upper bounds on the tessellation cover number given by the minimum between the chromatic index of the graph and the chromatic number of its clique graph and we show graph classes for which these bounds are tight. We prove $mathcal{NP}$-completeness for $t$-tessellability if the instance is restricted to planar graphs, chordal (2,1)-graphs, (1,2)-graphs, diamond-free graphs with diameter five, or for any fixed $t$ at least 3. On the other hand, we improve the complexity for 2-tessellability to a linear-time algorithm.
The canonical tree-decomposition theorem, given by Robertson and Seymour in their seminal graph minors series, turns out to be one of the most important tool in structural and algorithmic graph theory. In this paper, we provide the canonical tree dec
omposition theorem for digraphs. More precisely, we construct directed tree-decompositions of digraphs that distinguish all their tangles of order $k$, for any fixed integer $k$, in polynomial time. As an application of this canonical tree-decomposition theorem, we provide the following result for the directed disjoint paths problem: For every fixed $k$ there is a polynomial-time algorithm which, on input $G$, and source and terminal vertices $(s_1, t_1), dots, (s_k, t_k)$, either 1. determines that there is no set of pairwise vertex-disjoint paths connecting each source $s_i$ to its terminal $t_i$, or 2.finds a half-integral solution, i.e., outputs paths $P_1, dots, P_k$ such that $P_i$ links $s_i$ to $t_i$, so that every vertex of the graph is contained in at most two paths. Given known hardness results for the directed disjoint paths problem, our result cannot be improved for general digraphs, neither to fixed-parameter tractability nor to fully vertex-disjoint directed paths. As far as we are aware, this is the first time to obtain a tractable result for the $k$-disjoint paths problem for general digraphs. We expect more applications of our canonical tree-decomposition for directed results.
In this paper, we present a new, graph-based modeling approach and a polynomial-sized linear programming (LP) formulation of the Boolean satisfiability problem (SAT). The approach is illustrated with a numerical example.
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 $k$.
The Double Travelling Salesman Problem with Multiple Stacks, DTSPMS, deals with the collect and delivery of n commodities in two distinct cities, where the pickup and the delivery tours are related by LIFO constraints. During the pickup tour, commodi
ties are loaded into a container of k rows, or stacks, with capacity c. This paper focuses on computational aspects of the DTSPMS, which is NP-hard. We first review the complexity of two critical subproblems: deciding whether a given pair of pickup and delivery tours is feasible and, given a loading plan, finding an optimal pair of pickup and delivery tours, are both polynomial under some conditions on k and c. We then prove a (3k)/2 standard approximation for the MinMetrickDTSPMS, where k is a universal constant, and other approximation results for vario
