Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立東華大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 91 === A bipartite graph G = (X, Y,E) is biconvex if both X and Y can be ordered so that for every vertex v in X ∪ Y , vertices in N(v) occur consecutively in the ordering. In this thesis, we define the interval representation on biconvex bipartite graphs. By the interval representation, we propose a trapezoid decomposition for biconvex bipartite graphs. We show that the trapezoid decomposition represent a biclique structure of a biconvex bipartite graph. Using this decomposition, the minimum fill-in and treewidth problems can be solved in a unified approach on biconvex bipartite graphs.
