On a characterization of k -trees

De-Yan Zeng, Jian Hua Yin (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A graph G is a k -tree if either G is the complete graph on k + 1 vertices, or G has a vertex v whose neighborhood is a clique of order k and the graph obtained by removing v from G is also a k -tree. Clearly, a k -tree has at least k + 1 vertices, and G is a 1-tree (usual tree) if and only if it is a 1 -connected graph and has no K 3 -minor. In this paper, motivated by some properties of 2-trees, we obtain a characterization of k -trees as follows: if G is a graph with at least k + 1 vertices, then G is a k -tree if...

On a characterization of symmetric balanced incomplete block designs

R.N. Mohan, Sanpei Kageyama, M.M. Nair (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Probability and Statistics

All the symmetric balanced incomplete block (SBIB) designs have been characterized and a new generalized expression on parameters of SBIB designs has been obtained. The parameter b has been formulated in a different way which is denoted by bi, i = 1, 2, 3, associating with the types of the SBIB design Di. The parameters of all the designs obtained through this representation have been tabulated while corresponding them with the suitable formulae for the number ofblocks bi and the expression Si for...

On a class of commutative groupoids determined by their associativity triples

Aleš Drápal (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let G = G ( · ) be a commutative groupoid such that { ( a , b , c ) G 3 ; a · b c a b · c } = { ( a , b , c ) G 3 ; a = b c or a b = c } . Then G is determined uniquely up to isomorphism and if it is finite, then card ( G ) = 2 i for an integer i 0 .

On a Class of Vertex Folkman Numbers

Nenov, Nedyalko (2002)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Let a1 , . . . , ar, be positive integers, i=1 ... r, m = ∑(ai − 1) + 1 and p = max{a1 , . . . , ar }. For a graph G the symbol G → (a1 , . . . , ar ) means that in every r-coloring of the vertices of G there exists a monochromatic ai -clique of color i for some i ∈ {1, . . . , r}. In this paper we consider the vertex Folkman numbers F (a1 , . . . , ar ; m − 1) = min |V (G)| : G → (a1 , . . . , ar ) and Km−1 ⊂ G} We prove that F (a1 , . . . , ar ; m − 1) = m + 6, if p = 3 and m ≧ 6 (Theorem 3)...
