Sandwich and probe problems for excluding paths
Abstract
Let Pk denote an induced path on k vertices. For k ≥ 5, we show that the Pk-free sandwich problem, partitioned probe problem, and unpartitioned probe problem are NP-complete. For k ≤ 4, it is known that the Pk-free sandwich problem, partitioned probe problem, and unpartitioned probe problem are in P.
