Flows on the join of two graphs

Robert Lukoťka, Edita Rollová (2013)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

The join of two graphs G and H is a graph formed from disjoint copies of G and H by connecting each vertex of G to each vertex of H . We determine the flow number of the resulting graph. More precisely, we prove that the join of two graphs admits a nowhere-zero 3 -flow except for a few classes of graphs: a single vertex joined with a graph containing an isolated vertex or an odd circuit tree component, a single edge joined with a graph containing only isolated edges, a single edge plus...

The graph polynomial and the number of proper vertex coloring

Michael Tarsi (1999)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

Alon and Tarsi presented in a previous paper a certain weighted sum over the set of all proper k -colorings of a graph, which can be computed from its graph polynomial. The subject of this paper is another combinatorial interpretation of the same quantity, expressed in terms of the numbers of certain modulo k flows in the graph. Some relations between graph parameters can be obtained by combining these two formulas. For example: The number of proper 3-colorings of a 4-regular graph and...

An edge-magic total labeling of an (n,m)-graph G = (V,E) is a one to one map λ from V(G) ∪ E(G) onto the integers {1,2,…,n + m} with the property that there exists an integer constant c such that λ(x) + λ(y) + λ(xy) = c for any xy ∈ E(G). It is called super edge-magic total labeling if λ (V(G)) = {1,2,…,n}. Furthermore, if G has no super edge-magic total labeling, then the minimum number of vertices added to G to have a super edge-magic total labeling, called super edge-magic deficiency...

M 2 -Edge Colorings Of Cacti And Graph Joins

Július Czap, Peter Šugerek, Jaroslav Ivančo (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An edge coloring φ of a graph G is called an M2-edge coloring if |φ(v)| ≤ 2 for every vertex v of G, where φ(v) is the set of colors of edges incident with v. Let 𝒦2(G) denote the maximum number of colors used in an M2-edge coloring of G. In this paper we determine 𝒦2(G) for trees, cacti, complete multipartite graphs and graph joins.
