A graph is diameter-2-critical if its diameter is two and the deletion of any edge increases the diameter. Let G be a diameter-2-critical graph of order n. Murty and Simon conjectured that the number of edges in G is at most ⌊n 2/4⌋ and that the extremal graphs are the complete bipartite graphs K ⌊n/2⌋,⌊n/2⌉. Fan [Discrete Math. 67 (1987), 235–240] proved the conjecture for n ≤ 24 and for n = 26, while Füredi [J. Graph Theory 16 (1992), 81–98] proved the conjecture for n > n 0 where n 0 is a...
Denote the total domination number of a graph G by γₜ(G). A graph G is said to be total domination edge critical, or simply γₜ-critical, if γₜ(G+e) < γₜ(G) for each edge e ∈ E(G̅). For 3ₜ-critical graphs G, that is, γₜ-critical graphs with γₜ(G) = 3, the diameter of G is either 2 or 3. We characterise the 3ₜ-critical graphs G with diam G = 3.
Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A set S ⊆ V is a restrained dominating set if every vertex in V-S is adjacent to a vertex in S and to a vertex in V-S. The restrained domination number of G, denoted by , is the minimum cardinality of a restrained dominating set of G. A unicyclic graph is a connected graph that contains precisely one cycle. We show that if U is a unicyclic graph of order n, then , and provide a characterization of graphs achieving this bound.
A set S of vertices of a graph G = (V,E) is a dominating set if every vertex of V-S is adjacent to some vertex in S. The domination number γ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G, and the domination subdivision number is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the domination number. Arumugam conjectured that for any graph G. We give a counterexample to this conjecture. On the other hand, we show...
