Classification of rings with toroidal Jacobson graph

Krishnan Selvakumar, Manoharan Subajini (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let R be a commutative ring with nonzero identity and J ( R ) the Jacobson radical of R . The Jacobson graph of R , denoted by 𝔍 R , is defined as the graph with vertex set R J ( R ) such that two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if 1 - x y is not a unit of R . The genus of a simple graph G is the smallest nonnegative integer n such that G can be embedded into an orientable surface S n . In this paper, we investigate the genus number of the compact Riemann surface in which 𝔍 R can be embedded and explicitly...

Clique-connecting forest and stable set polytopes

Denis Cornaz (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research

Let G = (V,E) be a simple undirected graph. A forest F ⊆ E of G is said to be clique-connecting if each tree of F spans a clique of G. This paper adresses the clique-connecting forest polytope. First we give a formulation and a polynomial time separation algorithm. Then we show that the nontrivial nondegenerate facets of the stable set polytope are facets of the clique-connecting polytope. Finally we introduce a family of rank inequalities which are facets, and which generalize the clique inequalities. ...

Clopen graphs

Stefan Geschke (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

A graph G on a topological space X as its set of vertices is clopen if the edge relation of G is a clopen subset of X² without the diagonal. We study clopen graphs on Polish spaces in terms of their finite induced subgraphs and obtain information about their cochromatic numbers. In this context we investigate modular profinite graphs, a class of graphs obtained from finite graphs by taking inverse limits. This continues the investigation of continuous colorings on Polish spaces and their homogeneity...

Colouring vertices of plane graphs under restrictions given by faces

Július Czap, Stanislav Jendrol' (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We consider a vertex colouring of a connected plane graph G. A colour c is used k times by a face α of G if it appears k times along the facial walk of α. We prove that every connected plane graph with minimum face degree at least 3 has a vertex colouring with four colours such that every face uses some colour an odd number of times. We conjecture that such a colouring can be done using three colours. We prove that this conjecture is true for 2-connected cubic plane graphs. Next we consider other...

Connected domatic number in planar graphs

Bert L. Hartnell, Douglas F. Rall (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A dominating set in a graph G is a connected dominating set of G if it induces a connected subgraph of G . The connected domatic number of G is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint, connected dominating sets in V ( G ) . We establish a sharp lower bound on the number of edges in a connected graph with a given order and given connected domatic number. We also show that a planar graph has connected domatic number at most 4 and give a characterization of planar graphs having connected domatic number 3.
