Diamond-free Degree Sequences
Abstract
We introduce a new problem, CSPLib problem number 50, to generate all degree sequences that have a corresponding diamond-free graph with secondary properties. This problem arises naturally from a problem in mathematics to do with balanced incomplete block designs; we devote a section of this paper to this. The problem itself is challenging with respect to computational effort arising from the large number of symmetries within the models. We introduce two models for this problem. The second model is an improvement on the first, and this improvement largely consists of breaking the problem into two stages, the first stage producing graphical degree sequences that satisfy arithmetic constraints and the second part testing that there exists a graph with that degree sequence that is diamond-free.
