Even [a,b]-factors in graphs
Let a and b be integers 4 ≤ a ≤ b. We give simple, sufficient conditions for graphs to contain an even [a,b]-factor. The conditions are on the order and on the minimum degree, or on the edge-connectivity of the graph.
Domination in partitioned graphs
Let V₁, V₂ be a partition of the vertex set in a graph G, and let denote the least number of vertices needed in G to dominate . We prove that γ₁+γ₂ ≤ [4/5]|V(G)| for any graph without isolated vertices or edges, and that equality occurs precisely if G consists of disjoint 5-paths and edges between their centers. We also give upper and lower bounds on γ₁+γ₂ for graphs with minimum valency δ, and conjecture that γ₁+γ₂ ≤ [4/(δ+3)]|V(G)| for δ ≤ 5. As δ gets large, however, the largest possible value...
On well-covered graphs of odd girth 7 or greater
A maximum independent set of vertices in a graph is a set of pairwise nonadjacent vertices of largest cardinality α. Plummer [14] defined a graph to be well-covered, if every independent set is contained in a maximum independent set of G. One of the most challenging problems in this area, posed in the survey of Plummer [15], is to find a good characterization of well-covered graphs of girth 4. We examine several subclasses of well-covered graphs of girth ≥ 4 with respect to the odd girth of the...
