Quasi-bipartite graph

In the mathematical field of graph theory, an instance of the Steiner tree problem (consisting of an undirected graph G and a set R of terminal vertices that must be connected to each other) is said to be quasi-bipartite if the non-terminal vertices in G form an independent set, i.e. if every edge is incident on at least one terminal. This generalizes the concept of a bipartite graph: if G is bipartite, and R is the set of vertices on one side of the bipartition, the set to R is automatically independent. This concept was introduced by Rajagopalan and Vazirani who used it to provide a (3/2 + ε) approximation algorithm for the Steiner tree problem on such instances. Subsequently, the ε factor was removed by Rizzi and a 4/3 approximation algorithm was obtained by Chakrabarty et al.The same concept has been used by subsequent authors on the Steiner tree problem, e.g. Robins and Zelikovskyproposed an approximation algorithm for Steiner tree problem which on quasi-bipartite graphs has approximation ratio 1.28. The complexity of Robins and Zelikovsky's algorithm is O(m n2), where m and n are the numbers of terminals and non-terminals in the graph, respectively. Furthermore, Gröpl et al. gave a 1.217-approximation algorithm for the special case of uniformly quasi-bipartite instances. (Wikipedia).

What is a Bipartite Graph? | Graph Theory

What is a bipartite graph? We go over it in today’s lesson! I find all of these different types of graphs very interesting, so I hope you will enjoy this lesson. A bipartite graph is any graph whose vertex set can be partitioned into two disjoint sets (called partite sets), such that all e

What are Complete Bipartite Graphs? | Graph Theory, Bipartite Graphs

What are complete bipartite graphs? We'll define complete bipartite graphs and show some examples and non-examples in today's video graph theory lesson! Remember a graph G = (V, E) is bipartite if the vertex set V can be partitioned into two sets V1 and V2 (called partite sets) such that
