Abstract

A walk WW between vertices uu and vv of a graph GG is called a {\em tolled walk between uu and vv} if uu, as well as vv, has exactly one neighbour in WW. A set SV(G)S \subseteq V(G) is {\em toll convex} if the vertices contained in any tolled walk between two vertices of SS are contained in SS. The {\em toll convex hull of SS} is the minimum toll convex set containing~SS. The {\em toll hull number of GG} is the minimum cardinality of a set SS such that the toll convex hull of SS is V(G)V(G). The main contribution of this work is an algorithm for computing the toll hull number of a general graph in polynomial time.
