Graph Covers: Symmetries and Complexity

Project goals

The concept of symmetry is as old as mathematics. In modern mathematics, it is formalized by the concept of the automorphism of a considered structure. In the present project we shall restrict ourselves to investigation of one- and two-dimensional structures, namely, to graphs, surfaces, and their quotients, that is to orbifolds of dimension 1 and 2. Coverings between graphs and surfaces were extensively investigated and found many applications. Much less is known about the computational complexity of graph covering problems. The project is aimed at investigation of computational complexity of such problems, including several problems that either generalize the graph isomorphism problem, or ask to solve it for restricted classes of graphs. In this framework we hope to understand better the behavior of the complexity of the problems under investigation with the aim to identify the borderline between P and GI-completeness on one-hand side, and GI-completeness and NP-hardness on the other one.

    Nakrývání grafů: Symetrie a složitost

  • Annotation in Czech

    Koncept symetrie je stejně starý jako matematika sama. V moderní matematice je formalizován jako koncept automorfismu uvažované struktury. V předkládaném projektu budeme studovat jedno- a dvou-dimenzionální struktury, zejména grafy, plochy a jejich kvocienty, tedy orbity dimenze 1 a 2. Nakrytí grafů a ploch byla intenzivně studována a našla mnoho aplikací. Mnohem méně je ale známo o výpočetní složitosti otázek souvisejících s nakrýváním grafů. Projekt se zaměří na studium výpočetní složitosti těchto otázek, včetně problémů zobecňujících problém isomorfismu grafů, případně tento problém řešící pro omezené třídy grafů. Tímto způsobem doufáme dosáhnout lepšího pochopení výpočetní složitosti studovaných problémů s nadějí na upřesnění hranice mezi polynomiálními a GI-úplnými instancemi na jedné straně, a mezi GI-úplnými a NP-úplnými instancemi na straně druhé.

Completed project evaluation

  • Provider evaluation

    U - Uspěl podle zadání (s publikovanými či patentovanými výsledky atd.)

  • Project results evaluation

    The project delivered a large number of good publications, published in respected international conferences and journals. The outcome is satisfactory for the size and potential of the team. On the negative side, the project resulted in very few top-shelf publication (no CORE A* conference paper, one JCTB paper).
