- W395829677 abstract "Many problems arising in graph theory are difficult by nature, and finding solutions to large or complex instances of them often require the use of computers. As some such problems are NP-hard or lie even higher in the polynomial hierarchy, it is unlikely that efficient, exact algorithms will solve them. Therefore, alternative computational methods are used. Combinatorial computing is a branch of mathematics and computer science concerned with these methods, where algorithms are developed to generate and search through combinatorial structures in order to determine certain properties of them. In this thesis, we explore a number of such techniques, in the hopes of solving specific problem instances of interest. Three separate problems are considered, each of which is attacked with different methods of combinatorial computing and optimization. The first, originally proposed by Erdős and Hajnal in 1967, asks to find the Folkman number Fe(3, 3; 4), defined as the smallest order of a K4-free graph that is not the union of two triangle-free graphs. A notoriously difficult problem associated with Ramsey theory, the best known bounds on it prior to this work were 19 ≤ Fe(3, 3; 4) ≤ 941. We improve the upper bound to Fe(3, 3; 4) ≤ 786 using a combination of known methods and the Goemans-Williamson semi-definite programming relaxation of MAX-CUT. The second problem of interest is the Ramsey number R(C4,Km), which is the smallest n such that any n-vertex graph contains a cycle of length four or an independent set of order m. With the help of combinatorial algorithms, we determine R(C4,K9) = 30 and R(C4,K10) = 36 using large-scale computations on the Open Science Grid. Finally, we explore applications of the well-known Lenstra-Lenstra-Lovasz (LLL) algorithm, a polynomial-time algorithm that, when given a basis of a lattice, returns a basis for the same lattice with relatively short vectors. The main result of this work is an application to graph domination, where certain hard instances are solved using this algorithm as a heuristic." @default.
