Title
Algorithms for outerplanar graph roots and graph roots of pathwidth at most 2.
Abstract
Deciding if a graph has a square root is a classical problem, which has been studied extensively both from graph-theoretic and algorithmic perspective. As the problem is NP-complete, substantial effort has been dedicated to determining the complexity of deciding if a graph has a square root belonging to some specific graph class \({{\mathcal {H}}}\). There are both polynomial-time solvable and NP-complete results in this direction, depending on \({{\mathcal {H}}}\). We present a general framework for the problem if \(\mathcal{H}\) is a class of sparse graphs. This enables us to generalize a number of known results and to give polynomial-time algorithms for the cases where \({{\mathcal {H}}}\) is the class of outerplanar graphs and \({{\mathcal {H}}}\) is the class of graphs of pathwidth at most 2.
