On a problem of P. Vestergaard concerning circuits in graphs
In 1995, F. Jaeger and M.-C. Heydemann began to work on a conjecture on binary operations which are related to homomorphisms of De Bruijn digraphs. For this, they have considered the class of digraphs such that for any integer , has exactly walks of length , where is the order of . Recently, C. Delorme has obtained some results on the original conjecture. The aim of this paper is to recall the conjecture and to report where all the authors arrived.
The aim of the paper is to show that no simple graph has a proper subgraph with the same neighborhood hypergraph. As a simple consequence of this result we infer that if a clique hypergraph and a hypergraph have the same neighborhood hypergraph and the neighborhood relation in is a subrelation of such a relation in , then is inscribed into (both seen as coverings). In particular, if is also a clique hypergraph, then .
A k-tree is a tree with maximum degree at most k. In this paper, we give a degree sum condition for a graph to have a spanning k-tree in which specified vertices have degree less than k. We denote by σk(G) the minimum value of the degree sum of k independent vertices in a graph G. Let k ≥ 3 and s ≥ 0 be integers, and suppose G is a connected graph and σk(G) ≥ |V (G)|+s−1. Then for any s specified vertices, G contains a spanning k-tree in which every specified vertex has degree less than k. The degree...
Hadwiger's Conjecture seems difficult to attack, even in the very special case of graphs G of independence number α(G) = 2. We present some results in this special case.
A sphere of influence graph generated by a finite population of generated points on the real line by a Poisson process is considered. We determine the expected number and variance of societies formed by population of n points in a one-dimensional space.
