Title
Complexity of approximating the oriented diameter of chordal graphs
Abstract
The oriented diameter of a bridgeless connected undirected(bcu) graph G is the smallest diameter among all thediameters of strongly connected orientations of G. We studyalgorithmic aspects of determining the oriented diameter of achordal graph. We (a) construct a linear-time approximationalgorithm that, for a given chordal bcu graph G,finds a strongly connected orientation of G with diameter atmost one plus twice the oriented diameter of G; (b) provethat, for every k≥ 2 and k ≠ 3, to decidewhether a chordal (split for k = 2) bcu graphG admits an orientation of diameter k isNP-complete; (c) show that, unless P = NP,there is neither a polynomial-time absolute approximation algorithmnor an ±-approximation algorithm that computes the orienteddiameter of a bcu chordal graph for ±
