Graph layout problems (Bandwidth)

Applications Such problems arise in connection with: VLSI circuit design, graph drawing, embedding problems, numerical analysis, optimization of networks for parallel computer architectures.

History Historically, bandwidth was the the first layout problem, as a means to speed up several computations on sparse matrices during the fifties. The bandwidth problem for graphs was first posed as an open problem during a graph theoretical meeting in 1967 by Harary. For more detailed survey of graph layout problems see. The Minimal Cutwidth Linear Arrangement problem (MINCUT) was first used in the seventies as a theoretical model for the number of channels in an optimal layout of a circuit [Adolphson and Hu 1973]
10
Known Results All above problems are NP-hard in general, MINCUT remains NP-hard even when restricted, for example, to polynomially (edge-) weighted trees planar graphs with maximum degree 3. MINCUT remains NP-hard even when restricted, for example, to trees, with maximum degree 3
