Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
A maximal geodesic in a graph is a geodesic (alias shortest path) which is not a subpath of a longer geodesic. The geodesic-transversal problem in a graph G is introduced as the task to find a smallest set Sof vertices of G such that each maximal geodesic has at least one vertex in S. The minimum cardinality of such a set is the geodesic-transversal number gt(G) of G. It is proved that gt (G) = 1 if and only if G is a subdivided star and that the geodesic-transversal problem is NP-complete. Fast algorithms to determine the geodesic-transversal number of trees and of spread cactus graphs are designed, respectively. (C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
