A unit disk graph is the intersection graph of a set of disk of unit radius in the Euclidean plane. In 1998, Breu and Kirkpatrick showed that the recognition problem for unit disk graphs is NP-hard. Given $k$ horizontal and $m$ vertical…
The maximum graph bisection problem is a well known graph partition problem. The problem has been proven to be NP-hard. In the maximum graph bisection problem it is required that the set of vertices is divided into two partition with equal…
