An O(n) Time Algorithm to Find Cubic Subgraph in a Halin Graph

Article Preview

Abstract:

The 3-Regular Subgraph Problem is: Given a graph G = (V, E), can we find a subgraph H = (V, E) in G such that for each vertex u in V, , where is the degree of u in H This problem is an NP-complete problem for general graphs. In this paper, we design an O(n) time algorithm to solve The 3-Regular Subgraph Problem for a Halin graph H, where n is the number of vertices of H. Given a Halin graph H, if there is a cubic subgraph G in H, then our algorithm will find G and give an answer Yes, otherwise our algorithm will give an answer No. We also prove the correctness of this algorithm.
