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.

...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...
