Factoring directed graphs with respect to the cardinal product in polynomial time

Wilfried ImrichWerner Klöckl — 2007

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

By a result of McKenzie [4] finite directed graphs that satisfy certain connectivity and thinness conditions have the unique prime factorization property with respect to the cardinal product. We show that this property still holds under weaker connectivity and stronger thinness conditions. Furthermore, for such graphs the factorization can be determined in polynomial time.

Factoring directed graphs with respect to the cardinal product in polynomial time II

Wilfried ImrichWerner Klöckl — 2010

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

By a result of McKenzie [7] all finite directed graphs that satisfy certain connectivity conditions have unique prime factorizations with respect to the cardinal product. McKenzie does not provide an algorithm, and even up to now no polynomial algorithm that factors all graphs satisfying McKenzie's conditions is known. Only partial results [1,3,5] have been published, all of which depend on certain thinness conditions of the graphs to be factored. In this paper we weaken the...

Weak k-reconstruction of Cartesian products

Wilfried ImrichBlaz ZmazekJanez Zerovnik — 2003

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

By Ulam's conjecture every finite graph G can be reconstructed from its deck of vertex deleted subgraphs. The conjecture is still open, but many special cases have been settled. In particular, one can reconstruct Cartesian products. We consider the case of k-vertex deleted subgraphs of Cartesian products, and prove that one can decide whether a graph H is a k-vertex deleted subgraph of a Cartesian product G with at least k+1 prime factors on at least k+1 vertices each, and that H uniquely determines...

Tree-like isometric subgraphs of hypercubes

Bostjan BrešarWilfried ImrichSandi Klavžar — 2003

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Tree-like isometric subgraphs of hypercubes, or tree-like partial cubes as we shall call them, are a generalization of median graphs. Just as median graphs they capture numerous properties of trees, but may contain larger classes of graphs that may be easier to recognize than the class of median graphs. We investigate the structure of tree-like partial cubes, characterize them, and provide examples of similarities with trees and median graphs. For instance, we show that the cube graph of a tree-like...

Edge-Transitive Lexicographic and Cartesian Products

Wilfried ImrichAli IranmaneshSandi KlavžarAbolghasem Soltani — 2016

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

In this note connected, edge-transitive lexicographic and Cartesian products are characterized. For the lexicographic product G ◦ H of a connected graph G that is not complete by a graph H, we show that it is edge-transitive if and only if G is edge-transitive and H is edgeless. If the first factor of G ∘ H is non-trivial and complete, then G ∘ H is edge-transitive if and only if H is the lexicographic product of a complete graph by an edgeless graph. This fixes an error of Li, Wang, Xu, and Zhao...

Distinguishing Cartesian Products of Countable Graphs

Ehsan EstajiWilfried ImrichRafał KalinowskiMonika PilśniakThomas Tucker — 2017

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The distinguishing number D(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of colors needed to color the vertices of G such that the coloring is preserved only by the trivial automorphism. In this paper we improve results about the distinguishing number of Cartesian products of finite and infinite graphs by removing restrictions to prime or relatively prime factors.
