Secondary title: | Najmanjše po poteh k-vozliščno pokritje |
Secondary abstract: | A subset ▫$S$▫ of vertices of a graph ▫$G$▫ is called a ▫$k$▫-path vertex cover if every path of order ▫$k$▫ in ▫$G$▫ contains at least one vertex from ▫$S$▫. Denote by ▫$\psi_k(G)$▫ the minimum cardinality of a ▫$k$▫-path vertex cover in ▫$G$▫. It is shown that the problem of determining ▫$\psi_k(G)$▫ is NP-hard for each ▫$k \geq 2$▫, while for trees the problem can be solved in linear time. We investigate upper bounds on the value of ▫$\psi_k(G)$▫ and provide several estimations and exact values of ▫$\psi_k(G)$▫. We also prove that ▫$\psi_3(G) \leq (2n + m)/6$▫, for every graph ▫$G$▫ with ▫$n$▫ vertices and ▫$m$▫ edges. |
