Vertex-disjoint copies of K¯₄

Ken-ichi Kawarabayashi (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let G be a graph of order n. Let K¯ₗ be the graph obtained from Kₗ by removing one edge. In this paper, we propose the following conjecture: Let G be a graph of order n ≥ lk with δ(G) ≥ (n-k+1)(l-3)/(l-2)+k-1. Then G has k vertex-disjoint K¯ₗ. This conjecture is motivated by Hajnal and Szemerédi's [6] famous theorem. In this paper, we verify this conjecture for l=4.

Vertex-disjoint stars in graphs

Katsuhiro Ota (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for a graph to contain vertex-disjoint stars of a given size. It is proved that if the minimum degree of the graph is at least k+t-1 and the order is at least (t+1)k + O(t²), then the graph contains k vertex-disjoint copies of a star K 1 , t . The condition on the minimum degree is sharp, and there is an example showing that the term O(t²) for the number of uncovered vertices is necessary in a sense.

Vizing's conjecture and the one-half argument

Bert Hartnell, Douglas F. Rall (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The domination number of a graph G is the smallest order, γ(G), of a dominating set for G. A conjecture of V. G. Vizing [5] states that for every pair of graphs G and H, γ(G☐H) ≥ γ(G)γ(H), where G☐H denotes the Cartesian product of G and H. We show that if the vertex set of G can be partitioned in a certain way then the above inequality holds for every graph H. The class of graphs G which have this type of partitioning includes those whose 2-packing number is no smaller than γ(G)-1 as well as the...

α-Labelings of a Class of Generalized Petersen Graphs

Anna Benini, Anita Pasotti (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

An α-labeling of a bipartite graph Γ of size e is an injective function f : V (Γ) → {0, 1, 2, . . . , e} such that {|ƒ(x) − ƒ(y)| : [x, y] ∈ E(Γ)} = {1, 2, . . . , e} and with the property that its maximum value on one of the two bipartite sets does not reach its minimum on the other one. We prove that the generalized Petersen graph PSn,3 admits an α-labeling for any integer n ≥ 1 confirming that the conjecture posed by Vietri in [10] is true. In such a way we obtain an infinite class of decompositions...
