The irregularity of graphs under graph operations

Hosam Abdo, Darko Dimitrov (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The irregularity of a simple undirected graph G was defined by Albertson [5] as irr(G) = ∑uv∈E(G) |dG(u) − dG(v)|, where dG(u) denotes the degree of a vertex u ∈ V (G). In this paper we consider the irregularity of graphs under several graph operations including join, Cartesian product, direct product, strong product, corona product, lexicographic product, disjunction and sym- metric difference. We give exact expressions or (sharp) upper bounds on the irregularity of graphs under the above mentioned...

The subalgebra lattice of a finite algebra

Konrad Pióro (2014)

Open Mathematics

The aim of this paper is to characterize pairs (L, A), where L is a finite lattice and A a finite algebra, such that the subalgebra lattice of A is isomorphic to L. Next, necessary and sufficient conditions are found for pairs of finite algebras (of possibly distinct types) to have isomorphic subalgebra lattices. Both of these characterizations are particularly simple in the case of distributive subalgebra lattices. We do not restrict our attention to total algebras only, but we consider the more...

The Wiener number of Kneser graphs

Rangaswami Balakrishnan, S. Francis Raj (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The Wiener number of a graph G is defined as 1/2∑d(u,v), where u,v ∈ V(G), and d is the distance function on G. The Wiener number has important applications in chemistry. We determine the Wiener number of an important family of graphs, namely, the Kneser graphs.

The Wiener number of powers of the Mycielskian

Rangaswami Balakrishnan, S. Francis Raj (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The Wiener number of a graph G is defined as 1 / 2 u , v V ( G ) d ( u , v ) , d the distance function on G. The Wiener number has important applications in chemistry. We determine a formula for the Wiener number of an important graph family, namely, the Mycielskians μ(G) of graphs G. Using this, we show that for k ≥ 1, W ( μ ( S k ) ) W ( μ ( T k ) ) W ( μ ( P k ) ) , where Sₙ, Tₙ and Pₙ denote a star, a general tree and a path on n vertices respectively. We also obtain Nordhaus-Gaddum type inequality for the Wiener number of μ ( G k ) .

Two operations of merging and splitting components in a chain graph

Milan Studený, Alberto Roverato, Šárka Štěpánová (2009)

Kybernetika

In this paper we study two operations of merging components in a chain graph, which appear to be elementary operations yielding an equivalent graph in the respective sense. At first, we recall basic results on the operation of feasible merging components, which is related to classic LWF (Lauritzen, Wermuth and Frydenberg) Markov equivalence of chain graphs. These results are used to get a graphical characterisation of factorisation equivalence of classic chain graphs. As another example of the use...

Using R to Build and Assess Network Models in Biology

G. Hartvigsen (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this paper we build and analyze networks using the statistical and programming environment R and the igraph package. We investigate random, small-world, and scale-free networks and test a standard problem of connectivity on a random graph. We then develop a method to study how vaccination can alter the structure of a disease transmission network. We also discuss a variety of other uses for networks in biology.

Weak selections and flows in networks

Valentin Gutev, Tsugunori Nogura (2008)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We demonstrate that every Vietoris continuous selection for the hyperspace of at most 3-point subsets implies the existence of a continuous selection for the hyperspace of at most 4-point subsets. However, in general, we do not know if such ``extensions'' are possible for hyperspaces of sets of other cardinalities. In particular, we do not know if the hyperspace of at most 3-point subsets has a continuous selection provided the hyperspace of at most 2-point subsets has a continuous selection.
