Graphs with 3-Rainbow Index n − 1 and n − 2

Xueliang Li, Ingo Schiermeyer, Kang Yang, Yan Zhao (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let G = (V (G),E(G)) be a nontrivial connected graph of order n with an edge-coloring c : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . , q}, q ∈ N, where adjacent edges may be colored the same. A tree T in G is a rainbow tree if no two edges of T receive the same color. For a vertex set S ⊆ V (G), a tree connecting S in G is called an S-tree. The minimum number of colors that are needed in an edge-coloring of G such that there is a rainbow S-tree for each k-subset S of V (G) is called the k-rainbow index of G, denoted by...

Let G be a nontrivial connected graph with an edge-coloring c : E(G) → {1, 2, . . . , q}, q ∈ ℕ, where adjacent edges may be colored the same. A tree T in G is called a rainbow tree if no two edges of T receive the same color. For a vertex set S ⊆ V (G), a tree that connects S in G is called an S-tree. The minimum number of colors that are needed in an edge-coloring of G such that there is a rainbow S-tree for every set S of k vertices of V (G) is called the k-rainbow index of G, denoted by rxk(G)....

Graphs with convex domination number close to their order

Joanna Cyman, Magdalena Lemańska, Joanna Raczek (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

For a connected graph G = (V,E), a set D ⊆ V(G) is a dominating set of G if every vertex in V(G)-D has at least one neighbour in D. The distance d G ( u , v ) between two vertices u and v is the length of a shortest (u-v) path in G. An (u-v) path of length d G ( u , v ) is called an (u-v)-geodesic. A set X ⊆ V(G) is convex in G if vertices from all (a-b)-geodesics belong to X for any two vertices a,b ∈ X. A set X is a convex dominating set if it is convex and dominating. The convex domination number γ c o n ( G ) of a graph G is the...

Graphs with disjoint dominating and paired-dominating sets

Justin Southey, Michael Henning (2010)

Open Mathematics

A dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set is adjacent to a vertex in the set, while a paired-dominating set of a graph is a dominating set such that the subgraph induced by the dominating set contains a perfect matching. In this paper, we show that no minimum degree is sufficient to guarantee the existence of a disjoint dominating set and a paired-dominating set. However, we prove that the vertex set of every cubic graph can be partitioned into a dominating...

Graphs with equal domination and 2-distance domination numbers

Joanna Raczek (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. The distance between two vertices u and v in a connected graph G is the length of the shortest (u-v) path in G. A set D ⊆ V(G) is a dominating set if every vertex of G is at distance at most 1 from an element of D. The domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G. A set D ⊆ V(G) is a 2-distance dominating set if every vertex of G is at distance at most 2 from an element of D. The 2-distance domination number of G is the minimum cardinality...
