Thanks for history section
editHi Thore, I just wanted to thank you for contributing the first draft of the history section in Graph coloring. It's well-written and the interlinking to related topics is excellent. Keep up the good work. :-) Dcoetzee 22:19, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
Longest path
editI don't know what is your definition of "a longest path in a graph". Please clarify. In my world a path in a digraph is a sequence of edges sharing target-source vertexes. The question of the maximum weight of a path in a digraph (eventually between two vertexes) is the dual to the problem of the shortest path (between the two vertexes) but where edge weights are negated. The maximum (and in fact minimum) weight of a path may not exists due to (negative) loops, but identifying it and finding the weight if it exists can be done very efficiently. In my opinion by "longest path" you mean something more than that, don't you? If so, please explain on the wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.46.210.178 (talk) 18:48, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- Your definition is correct, your algorithm isn’t. No shortest algorithm exits that works in the presence of negative cycles, and your faulty “dual” construction would construct just these. The easiest way to see the NP-hardness is to say that if you had an algorithm that find a longest path, this algorithm would especially find a Hamiltonian path (if one exists), which is a very basic NP-complete problem. Thore Husfeldt (talk) 19:53, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- WF: No, the algorithm wouldn't find any Hamiltonian path (unless it is the longest path) since it doesn't restrict that you can pass many times by a vertex (or even edge). Please correct the wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.46.210.178 (talk) 21:55, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
- Well, you’re certainly persistent. (Also, please remember to sign your comments using four tildes.) As for your questions: are you merely confused about the longest path being implicitly simple, i.e., not containing repeating vertices? I’ve made that explicit on the article page now, I hope it’s clearer now. Thore Husfeldt (talk) 22:06, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

No FPRAS for \chi at integer points (what's a good ref for that?)
editThere's a #P-hardness result for integer-point evaluation of chromatic polynomials of planar graphs (or more generally Tutte polynomials) in D. J. A. Welsh's 1993 book Complexity: Knots, Colourings and Counting (Theorem 6.2.10, p.100). I don't know about inapproximability, though. From the material on pp. 138–141 it seems to have been open at the time he wrote the book. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:06, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. The “No FPRAS for NP-hard problems unless NP=RP” seems to be folklore (or is it?) But after some soul-searching, I think a recent Goldberg-Jerrum paper gives a stronger result and is more citable. Thore Husfeldt (talk) 21:09, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
editJust wanted to thank you for your recent edit to travelling salesman problem - it takes no small expertise to write about the state of the art in approximability of this problem, complete with references. Thanks for contributing your time. Dcoetzee 18:14, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Well... provided it still is the state of the art. I took the information from Kann and Crescenzi’s compendium. Thore Husfeldt (talk) 19:25, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
File source problem with File:ESA 2009 coffee break.JPG
editThanks for uploading File:ESA 2009 coffee break.JPG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:32, 10 September 2009 (UTC).

2 0 0 2 3 1 2 0 3 1 3 3
P.S. You may wonder why I have a such a weird request. First of all algorithm is very popular(at least among people i know),Dharwadker claims that there are no known graphs that alg can't colour in a optimal way. Secondly IMHO alg is very very very good. Finally Dharwadker won't reply to my e-mails, so I'm interested in a independent confirmation. BTW I run alg 2x to rule out HW errors. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voyager2378 (talk • contribs) 02:44, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

editHi. When you recently edited Mihai Pătraşcu, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Graduate (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Shouryya Ray
editHi Just read your message about Shouryya Ray someone deleted the page earlier today:)
I thought it was a reasonably notable acheivement since I understand the Physics, and it got a lot of press coverage in Germany, UK and Worldwide once picked up.
There are very few problems in Physics and Mathematics that go unsolved for 100's of years and can be solved by a school child.
Going to post a message on the page that deleted it.
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

editOn the Parameterized Complexity page
editHi Thore,
I was looking at the parameterized complexity page, and realized that the section "W hierarchy" defines the circuit satisfiability problem as requiring "at most k inputs", whereas I believe it should be "exactly k inputs". That seems to be the standard definition (cf. Parameterized Algorithms, the original papers by Downey, Fellows, et al., etc).
The equivalence of these definitions for even levels (W[t] when t is even) can be obtained through to a monotony result (Theorem 7.1 in Parameterized Complexity, Flum and Grohe, 2006), as a satisfying assignment of at most k inputs would imply the existence of one with exactly k. For the odd case, the same Theorem says we can consider only anti-monotone circuits, and thus there is a trivial fpt-reduction between the problem of having an assignment of weight <= k over an anti-monotone circuit to that of having an assignment of weight = k, just output a constant YES-instance, as an anti-monotone circuit is always satisfied by assignment of weight 0 (<= k).
Still, I'd suggest sticking to the definition that seems to be more widely used,
Thanks! Bernardo — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bsubs (talk • contribs) 03:13, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
File permission problem with File:ESA 2009 coffee break.JPG

- I created this picture/file (I organised ESA 2009 at ITU) and uploaded it. (I’m not sure we didn’t also make an entire gallery of ESA pictures at IT University of Copenhagen, and if so I honestly can’t remember which was uploaded first. In any case, I can’t find it online anymore.)
- I’m not sure which of the options above applies. Please tell me what to do. Thore Husfeldt (talk) 17:59, 12 September 2022 (UTC)
