A decomposition of gallai multigraphs

Alexander HalperinColton MagnantKyle Pula — 2014

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

An edge-colored cycle is rainbow if its edges are colored with distinct colors. A Gallai (multi)graph is a simple, complete, edge-colored (multi)graph lacking rainbow triangles. As has been previously shown for Gallai graphs, we show that Gallai multigraphs admit a simple iterative construction. We then use this structure to prove Ramsey-type results within Gallai colorings. Moreover, we show that Gallai multigraphs give rise to a surprising and highly structured decomposition into directed trees...

Coloring rectangular blocks in 3-space

Colton MagnantDaniel M. Martin — 2011

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

If rooms in an office building are allowed to be any rectangular solid, how many colors does it take to paint any configuration of rooms so that no two rooms sharing a wall or ceiling/floor get the same color? In this work, we provide a new construction which shows this number can be arbitrarily large.

Chvátal-Erdös type theorems

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The Chvátal-Erdös theorems imply that if G is a graph of order n ≥ 3 with κ(G) ≥ α(G), then G is hamiltonian, and if κ(G) > α(G), then G is hamiltonian-connected. We generalize these results by replacing the connectivity and independence number conditions with a weaker minimum degree and independence number condition in the presence of sufficient connectivity. More specifically, it is noted that if G is a graph of order n and k ≥ 2 is a positive integer such that κ(G) ≥ k, δ(G) > (n+k²-k)/(k+1),...
