On partial cubes and graphs with convex intervals

Boštjan Brešar, Sandi Klavžar (2002)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A graph is called a partial cube if it admits an isometric embedding into a hypercube. Subdivisions of wheels are considered with respect to such embeddings and with respect to the convexity of their intervals. This allows us to answer in negative a question of Chepoi and Tardif from 1994 whether all bipartite graphs with convex intervals are partial cubes. On a positive side we prove that a graph which is bipartite, has convex intervals, and is not a partial cube, always contains a subdivision...

On partitions of hereditary properties of graphs

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Anna Fiedorowicz (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

In this paper a concept 𝓠-Ramsey Class of graphs is introduced, where 𝓠 is a class of bipartite graphs. It is a generalization of well-known concept of Ramsey Class of graphs. Some 𝓠-Ramsey Classes of graphs are presented (Theorem 1 and 2). We proved that 𝓣₂, the class of all outerplanar graphs, is not 𝓓₁-Ramsey Class (Theorem 3). This results leads us to the concept of acyclic reducible bounds for a hereditary property 𝓟 . For 𝓣₂ we found two bounds (Theorem 4). An improvement, in some sense,...

On Path-Pairability in the Cartesian Product of Graphs

Gábor Mészáros (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We study the inheritance of path-pairability in the Cartesian product of graphs and prove additive and multiplicative inheritance patterns of path-pairability, depending on the number of vertices in the Cartesian product. We present path-pairable graph families that improve the known upper bound on the minimal maximum degree of a path-pairable graph. Further results and open questions about path-pairability are also presented.

On path-quasar Ramsey numbers

Binlong Li, Bo Ning (2015)

Annales UMCS, Mathematica

Let G1 and G2 be two given graphs. The Ramsey number R(G1,G2) is the least integer r such that for every graph G on r vertices, either G contains a G1 or Ḡ contains a G2. Parsons gave a recursive formula to determine the values of R(Pn,K1,m), where Pn is a path on n vertices and K1,m is a star on m+1 vertices. In this note, we study the Ramsey numbers R(Pn,K1,m), where Pn is a linear forest on m vertices. We determine the exact values of R(Pn,K1∨Fm) for the cases m ≤ n and m ≥ 2n, and for the case...

On perfect and unique maximum independent sets in graphs

Lutz Volkmann (2004)

Mathematica Bohemica

A perfect independent set I of a graph G is defined to be an independent set with the property that any vertex not in I has at least two neighbors in I . For a nonnegative integer k , a subset I of the vertex set V ( G ) of a graph G is said to be k -independent, if I is independent and every independent subset I ' of G with | I ' | | I | - ( k - 1 ) is a subset of I . A set I of vertices of G is a super k -independent set of G if I is k -independent in the graph G [ I , V ( G ) - I ] , where G [ I , V ( G ) - I ] is the bipartite graph obtained from G by deleting all edges...
