The Homogeneous Broadcast Problem in Narrow and Wide Strips

Let $P$ be a set of nodes in a wireless network, where each node is modeled as a point in the plane, and let $s\in P$ be a given source node. Each node $p$ can transmit information to all other nodes within unit distance, provided $p$ is activated. The (homogeneous) broadcast problem is to activate a minimum number of nodes such that in the resulting directed communication graph, the source $s$ can reach any other node. We study the complexity of the regular and the hop-bounded version of the problem (in the latter, $s$ must be able to reach every node within a specified number of hops), with the restriction that all points lie inside a strip of width $w$. We almost completely characterize the complexity of both the regular and the hop-bounded versions as a function of the strip width $w$.

5 Colorable Visibility Graphs Have Bounded Size or 4 Collinear Points

We investigate the question of finding a bound for the size of a $χ$-colorable finite visibility graph that has at most $\ell$ collinear points. This can be regarded as a relaxed version of the Big Line - Big Clique conjecture. We prove that any finite point set that has at least 2311 points has either 4 collinear points or a visibility graph that cannot be 5-colored.

Notes on dual-critical graphs

We define dual-critical graphs as graphs having an acyclic orientation, where the indegrees are odd except for the unique source. We have very limited knowledge about the complexity of dual-criticality testing. By the definition the problem is in NP, and a result of Balázs and Christian Szegedy provides a randomized polynomial algorithm, which relies on formal matrix rank computing. It is unknown whether dual-criticality test can be done in deterministic polynomial time. Moreover, the question of being in co-NP is also open. We give equivalent descriptions for dual-critical graphs in the general case, and further equivalent descriptions in the special cases of planar graphs and 3-regular graphs. These descriptions provide polynomial algorithms for these special classes. We also give an FPT algorithm for a relaxed version of dual-criticality called $k$-dual-criticality.
