Abstract: The square of an undirected graph G is the graph G 2 on the same vertex set such that there is an edge between two vertices in G 2 if and only if they are at distance at most 2 in G. The k'th power of a graph is defined analogously. It has been conjectured that the problem of computing any square root of a square graph, or even that of deciding whether a graph is a square, is NP-hard. We settle this conjecture in the affirmative. 1. Introduction We consider the problem of deciding whether ... (Update)

...same. However, in the latter case, the original graph is given. While it is easy to compute the power graph G k from G, Motwani and Sudan [10] showed that it is NP hard to compute the k th root G of a graph G k . All of the algorithm presented in this paper work without...

...(u; v) 2 E if and only if dT (u; v) k. If T exists then it is called a k root tree of G. 3 It is NP complete to recognize a graph power [5], but it is possible to determine if a graph has a k root tree, for any fixed k, in O(n 3 ) time, where n is the number of vertices in the...
