New bounds for the broadcast domination number of a graph

Richard Brewster, Christina Mynhardt, Laura Teshima (2013)

Open Mathematics

A dominating broadcast on a graph G = (V, E) is a function f: V → {0, 1, ..., diam G} such that f(v) ≤ e(v) (the eccentricity of v) for all v ∈ V and such that each vertex is within distance f(v) from a vertex v with f(v) > 0. The cost of a broadcast f is σ(f) = Σv∈V f(v), and the broadcast number λ b (G) is the minimum cost of a dominating broadcast. A set X ⊆ V(G) is said to be irredundant if each x ∈ X dominates a vertex y that is not dominated by any other vertex in X; possibly y = x. The...

New Bounds on the Signed Total Domination Number of Graphs

Seyyed Mehdi Hosseini Moghaddam, Doost Ali Mojdeh, Babak Samadi, Lutz Volkmann (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

In this paper, we study the signed total domination number in graphs and present new sharp lower and upper bounds for this parameter. For example by making use of the classic theorem of Turán [8], we present a sharp lower bound on Kr+1-free graphs for r ≥ 2. Applying the concept of total limited packing we bound the signed total domination number of G with δ(G) ≥ 3 from above by [...] . Also, we prove that γst(T) ≤ n − 2(s − s′) for any tree T of order n, with s support vertices and s′ support vertices...

New classes of critical kernel-imperfect digraphs

Hortensia Galeana-Sánchez, V. Neumann-Lara (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A kernel of a digraph D is a subset N ⊆ V(D) which is both independent and absorbing. When every induced subdigraph of D has a kernel, the digraph D is said to be kernel-perfect. We say that D is a critical kernel-imperfect digraph if D does not have a kernel but every proper induced subdigraph of D does have at least one. Although many classes of critical kernel-imperfect-digraphs have been constructed, all of them are digraphs such that the block-cutpoint tree of its asymmetrical part is a path....

New edge neighborhood graphs

Ali A. Ali, Salar Y. Alsardary (1997)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let G be an undirected simple connected graph, and e = u v be an edge of G . Let N G ( e ) be the subgraph of G induced by the set of all vertices of G which are not incident to e but are adjacent to u or v . Let 𝒩 e be the class of all graphs H such that, for some graph G , N G ( e ) H for every edge e of G . Zelinka [3] studied edge neighborhood graphs and obtained some special graphs in 𝒩 e . Balasubramanian and Alsardary [1] obtained some other graphs in 𝒩 e . In this paper we given some new graphs in 𝒩 e .

New infinite families of Ramanujan-type congruences modulo 9 for overpartition pairs

Ernest X. W. Xia (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let p p ¯ ( n ) denote the number of overpartition pairs of n. Bringmann and Lovejoy (2008) proved that for n ≥ 0, p p ¯ ( 3 n + 2 ) 0 ( m o d 3 ) . They also proved that there are infinitely many Ramanujan-type congruences modulo every power of odd primes for p p ¯ ( n ) . Recently, Chen and Lin (2012) established some Ramanujan-type identities and explicit congruences for p p ¯ ( n ) . Furthermore, they also constructed infinite families of congruences for p p ¯ ( n ) modulo 3 and 5, and two congruence relations modulo 9. In this paper, we prove several new infinite...
