A characterization of planar median graphs

Iztok Peterin (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Median graphs have many interesting properties. One of them is-in connection with triangle free graphs-the recognition complexity. In general the complexity is not very fast, but if we restrict to the planar case the recognition complexity becomes linear. Despite this fact, there is no characterization of planar median graphs in the literature. Here an additional condition is introduced for the convex expansion procedure that characterizes planar median graphs.

Characterizations of planar plick graphs

V.R. Kulli, B. Basavanagoud (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper we present characterizations of graphs whose plick graphs are planar, outerplanar and minimally nonouterplanar.

Remarks on the existence of uniquely partitionable planar graphs

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Peter Mihók, Zsolt Tuza, M. Voigt (1999)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We consider the problem of the existence of uniquely partitionable planar graphs. We survey some recent results and we prove the nonexistence of uniquely (𝓓₁,𝓓₁)-partitionable planar graphs with respect to the property 𝓓₁ "to be a forest".

The crossing numbers of join products of paths with graphs of order four

Marián Klešč, Stefan Schrötter (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Kulli and Muddebihal [V.R. Kulli, M.H. Muddebihal, Characterization of join graphs with crossing number zero, Far East J. Appl. Math. 5 (2001) 87-97] gave the characterization of all pairs of graphs which join product is planar graph. The crossing number cr(G) of a graph G is the minimal number of crossings over all drawings of G in the plane. There are only few results concerning crossing numbers of graphs obtained as join product of two graphs. In the paper, the exact values of crossing...

The Thickness of Amalgamations and Cartesian Product of Graphs

Yan Yang, Yichao Chen (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The thickness of a graph is the minimum number of planar spanning subgraphs into which the graph can be decomposed. It is a measurement of the closeness to the planarity of a graph, and it also has important applications to VLSI design, but it has been known for only few graphs. We obtain the thickness of vertex-amalgamation and bar-amalgamation of graphs, the lower and upper bounds for the thickness of edge-amalgamation and 2-vertex-amalgamation of graphs, respectively. We also study...

On θ-graphs of partial cubes

Sandi Klavžar, Matjaz Kovse (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The Θ-graph Θ(G) of a partial cube G is the intersection graph of the equivalence classes of the Djoković-Winkler relation. Θ-graphs that are 2-connected, trees, or complete graphs are characterized. In particular, Θ(G) is complete if and only if G can be obtained from K₁ by a sequence of (newly introduced) dense expansions. Θ-graphs are also compared with familiar concepts of crossing graphs and τ-graphs.

Radio Graceful Hamming Graphs

Amanda Niedzialomski (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For k ∈ ℤ+ and G a simple, connected graph, a k-radio labeling f : V (G) → ℤ+ of G requires all pairs of distinct vertices u and v to satisfy |f(u) − f(v)| ≥ k + 1 − d(u, v). We consider k-radio labelings of G when k = diam(G). In this setting, f is injective; if f is also surjective onto {1, 2, . . . , |V (G)|}, then f is a consecutive radio labeling. Graphs that can be labeled with such a labeling are called radio graceful. In this paper, we give two results on the existence of radio...
