Constructions for type I trees with nonisomorphic Perron branches

Stephen J. Kirkland (1999)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A tree is classified as being type I provided that there are two or more Perron branches at its characteristic vertex. The question arises as to how one might construct such a tree in which the Perron branches at the characteristic vertex are not isomorphic. Motivated by an example of Grone and Merris, we produce a large class of such trees, and show how to construct others from them. We also investigate some of the properties of a subclass of these trees. Throughout, we exploit connections...

Statuses and branch-weights of weighted trees

Chiang Lin, Jen-Ling Shang (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In this paper we show that in a tree with vertex weights the vertices with the second smallest status and those with the second smallest branch-weight are the same.

On a bound on algebraic connectivity: the case of equality

Stephen J. Kirkland, Neumann, Michael, Bryan L. Shader (1998)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In a recent paper the authors proposed a lower bound on 1 - λ i , where λ i , λ i 1 , is an eigenvalue of a transition matrix T of an ergodic Markov chain. The bound, which involved the group inverse of I - T , was derived from a more general bound, due to Bauer, Deutsch, and Stoer, on the eigenvalues of a stochastic matrix other than its constant row sum. Here we adapt the bound to give a lower bound on the algebraic connectivity of an undirected graph, but principally consider the case of equality in...

Constrained Steiner trees in Halin graphs

Guangting Chen, Rainer E. Burkard (2003)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

Similarity:

In this paper, we study the problem of computing a minimum cost Steiner tree subject to a weight constraint in a Halin graph where each edge has a nonnegative integer cost and a nonnegative integer weight. We prove the NP-hardness of this problem and present a fully polynomial time approximation scheme for this NP-hard problem.
