On the spectral radius of -shape trees

Xiaoling Ma, Fei Wen (2013)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let A ( G ) be the adjacency matrix of G . The characteristic polynomial of the adjacency matrix A is called the characteristic polynomial of the graph G and is denoted by φ ( G , λ ) or simply φ ( G ) . The spectrum of G consists of the roots (together with their multiplicities) λ 1 ( G ) λ 2 ( G ) ... λ n ( G ) of the equation φ ( G , λ ) = 0 . The largest root λ 1 ( G ) is referred to as the spectral radius of G . A -shape is a tree with exactly two of its vertices having maximal degree 4. We will denote by G ( l 1 , l 2 , ... , l 7 ) ...

On the stability for pancyclicity

Ingo Schiermeyer (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A property P defined on all graphs of order n is said to be k-stable if for any graph of order n that does not satisfy P, the fact that uv is not an edge of G and that G + uv satisfies P implies d G ( u ) + d G ( v ) < k . Every property is (2n-3)-stable and every k-stable property is (k+1)-stable. We denote by s(P) the smallest integer k such that P is k-stable and call it the stability of P. This number usually depends on n and is at most 2n-3. A graph of order n is said to be pancyclic if it contains cycles of all lengths...

On the Steiner 2-edge connected subgraph polytope

A. Rhida Mahjoub, Pierre Pesneau (2008)

RAIRO - Operations Research

In this paper, we study the Steiner 2-edge connected subgraph polytope. We introduce a large class of valid inequalities for this polytope called the generalized Steiner F-partition inequalities, that generalizes the so-called Steiner F-partition inequalities. We show that these inequalities together with the trivial and the Steiner cut inequalities completely describe the polytope on a class of graphs that generalizes the wheels. We also describe necessary conditions for these inequalities to...

On the strong metric dimension of the strong products of graphs

Dorota Kuziak, Ismael G. Yero, Juan A. Rodríguez-Velázquez (2015)

Open Mathematics

Let G be a connected graph. A vertex w ∈ V.G/ strongly resolves two vertices u,v ∈ V.G/ if there exists some shortest u-w path containing v or some shortest v-w path containing u. A set S of vertices is a strong resolving set for G if every pair of vertices of G is strongly resolved by some vertex of S. The smallest cardinality of a strong resolving set for G is called the strong metric dimension of G. It is well known that the problem of computing this invariant is NP-hard. In this paper we study...

On the strong parity chromatic number

Július Czap, Stanislav Jendroľ, František Kardoš (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A vertex colouring of a 2-connected plane graph G is a strong parity vertex colouring if for every face f and each colour c, the number of vertices incident with f coloured by c is either zero or odd. Czap et al. in [9] proved that every 2-connected plane graph has a proper strong parity vertex colouring with at most 118 colours. In this paper we improve this upper bound for some classes of plane graphs.

On the structural result on normal plane maps

Tomás Madaras, Andrea Marcinová (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We prove the structural result on normal plane maps, which applies to the vertex distance colouring of plane maps. The vertex distance-t chromatic number of a plane graph G with maximum degree Δ(G) ≤ D, D ≥ 12 is proved to be upper bounded by 6 + [ ( 2 D + 12 ) / ( D - 2 ) ] ( ( D - 1 ) ( t - 1 ) - 1 ) . This improves a recent bound 6 + [ ( 3 D + 3 ) / ( D - 2 ) ] ( ( D - 1 ) t - 1 - 1 ) , D ≥ 8 by Jendrol’ and Skupień, and the upper bound for distance-2 chromatic number.
