Minimum Cost Range Assignment for the Vertex Connectivity of Graphs  

Kim, Jae-Hoon (Department of Computer Engineering, Busan University of Foreign Studies)
Abstract
For n points $p_i$ on the m-dimensional plane $R^m$ and a fixed range r, consider a set $T_i$ containing points the distances from $p_i$ of which are less than or equal to r. In case m=1, $T_i$ is an interval on a line, it is a circle on a plane when m=2. For the vertices corresponding to the sets $T_i$, there is an edge between the vertices if the two sets intersect. Then this graph is called an intersection graph G. For m=1 G is called a proper interval graph and for m=2, it is called an unit disk graph. In this paper, we are concerned in the intersection graph G(r) when r changes. In particular, we consider the problem to find the minimum r such that G(r)is connected. For this problem, we propose an O(n) algorithm for the proper interval graph and an $O(n^2{\log}\;n)$ algorithm for the unit disk graph. For the dynamic environment in which the points on a line are added or deleted, we give an O(log n) algorithm for the problem.
