Spanning trees with many or few colors in edge-colored graphs

Hajo BroersmaXueliang Li — 1997

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Given a graph G = (V,E) and a (not necessarily proper) edge-coloring of G, we consider the complexity of finding a spanning tree of G with as many different colors as possible, and of finding one with as few different colors as possible. We show that the first problem is equivalent to finding a common independent set of maximum cardinality in two matroids, implying that there is a polynomial algorithm. We use the minimum dominating set problem to show that the second problem is NP-hard.

Isomorphisms and traversability of directed path graphs

Hajo BroersmaXueliang Li — 2002

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The concept of a line digraph is generalized to that of a directed path graph. The directed path graph Pₖ(D) of a digraph D is obtained by representing the directed paths on k vertices of D by vertices. Two vertices are joined by an arc whenever the corresponding directed paths in D form a directed path on k+1 vertices or form a directed cycle on k vertices in D. In this introductory paper several properties of P₃(D) are studied, in particular with respect to isomorphism and traversability. In our...

Heavy subgraph pairs for traceability of block-chains

Binlong LiHajo BroersmaShenggui Zhang — 2014

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A graph is called traceable if it contains a Hamilton path, i.e., a path containing all its vertices. Let G be a graph on n vertices. We say that an induced subgraph of G is o−1-heavy if it contains two nonadjacent vertices which satisfy an Ore-type degree condition for traceability, i.e., with degree sum at least n−1 in G. A block-chain is a graph whose block graph is a path, i.e., it is either a P1, P2, or a 2-connected graph, or a graph with at least one cut vertex and exactly two end-blocks....

A σ₃ type condition for heavy cycles in weighted graphs

Shenggui ZhangXueliang LiHajo Broersma — 2001

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A weighted graph is a graph in which each edge e is assigned a non-negative number w(e), called the weight of e. The weight of a cycle is the sum of the weights of its edges. The weighted degree d w ( v ) of a vertex v is the sum of the weights of the edges incident with v. In this paper, we prove the following result: Suppose G is a 2-connected weighted graph which satisfies the following conditions: 1. The weighted degree sum of any three independent vertices is at least m; 2. w(xz) = w(yz) for every...

Backbone colorings along stars and matchings in split graphs: their span is close to the chromatic number

Hajo BroersmaBert MarchalDaniel PaulusmaA.N.M. Salman — 2009

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We continue the study on backbone colorings, a variation on classical vertex colorings that was introduced at WG2003. Given a graph G = (V,E) and a spanning subgraph H of G (the backbone of G), a λ-backbone coloring for G and H is a proper vertex coloring V→ {1,2,...} of G in which the colors assigned to adjacent vertices in H differ by at least λ. The algorithmic and combinatorial properties of backbone colorings have been studied for various types of backbones in a number of papers. The main outcome...

Forbidden Subgraphs for Hamiltonicity of 1-Tough Graphs

Binlong LiHajo J. BroersmaShenggui Zhang — 2016

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A graph G is said to be 1-tough if for every vertex cut S of G, the number of components of G − S does not exceed |S|. Being 1-tough is an obvious necessary condition for a graph to be hamiltonian, but it is not sufficient in general. We study the problem of characterizing all graphs H such that every 1-tough H-free graph is hamiltonian. We almost obtain a complete solution to this problem, leaving H = K1 ∪ P4 as the only open case.

Heavy cycles in weighted graphs

J. Adrian BondyHajo J. BroersmaJan van den HeuvelHenk Jan Veldman — 2002

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

An (edge-)weighted graph is a graph in which each edge e is assigned a nonnegative real number w(e), called the weight of e. The weight of a cycle is the sum of the weights of its edges, and an optimal cycle is one of maximum weight. The weighted degree w(v) of a vertex v is the sum of the weights of the edges incident with v. The following weighted analogue (and generalization) of a well-known result by Dirac for unweighted graphs is due to Bondy and Fan. Let G be a 2-connected weighted graph such...
