Abstract
) Josep D'iaz y Mathew D. Penrose z Jordi Petit y Mar'ia Serna y April 8, 1999 Abstract In random geometric graphs, vertices are randomly distributed on [0; 1] 2 and pairs of vertices are connected by edges whenever they are sufficiently close together. Layout problems seek a linear ordering of the vertices of a graph such that a certain measure is minimized. In this paper, we study several layout problems on random geometric graphs: Bandwidth, Minimum Linear Arrangement, Minimum Cut, Minimum Sum Cut, Vertex Separation and Bisection. We first prove that some of these problems remain NP-complete even for geometric graphs. Afterwards, we compute lower bounds that hold with high probability on random geometric graphs. Finally, we characterize the probabilistic behavior of the lexicographic ordering for our layout problems on the class of random geometric graphs. This research was partially supported by ESPRIT LTR Project no. 20244 --- ALCOM-IT, CICYT Project TIC97-1475-CE, ...
