  5. Graph layout problems (Bisection)

  6. Graph layout problems (Bandwidth)

  7. Applications Such problems arise in connection with: • VLSI circuit design, • graph drawing, • embedding problems, • numerical analysis, • optimization of networks for parallel computer architectures.

  8. History Historically, bandwidth was the the first layout problem, as a means to speed up several computations on sparse matrices during the fifties. The bandwidth problem for graphs was first posed as an open problem during a graph theoretical meeting in 1967 by Harary. For more detailed survey of graph layout problems see. The Minimal Cutwidth Linear Arrangement problem (MINCUT) was first used in the seventies as a theoretical model for the number of channels in an optimal layout of a circuit [Adolphson and Hu 1973]

  9. Known Results All above problems are NP-hard in general, MINCUT remains NP-hard even when restricted, for example, to • polynomially (edge-) weighted trees • planar graphs with maximum degree 3. MINCUT remains NP-hard even when restricted, for example, to • trees, with maximum degree 3
