Edge cycle extendable graphs

Terry A. McKee (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph is edge cycle extendable if every cycle C that is formed from edges and one chord of a larger cycle C⁺ is also formed from edges and one chord of a cycle C' of length one greater than C with V(C') ⊆ V(C⁺). Edge cycle extendable graphs are characterized by every block being either chordal (every nontriangular cycle has a chord) or chordless (no nontriangular cycle has a chord); equivalently, every chord of a cycle of length five or more has a noncrossing chord.

Disjoint 5-cycles in a graph

Similarity:

We prove that if G is a graph of order 5k and the minimum degree of G is at least 3k then G contains k disjoint cycles of length 5.

Pancyclicity when each Cycle Must Pass Exactly k Hamilton Cycle Chords

Fatima Affif Chaouche, Carrie G. Rutherford, Robin W. Whitty (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

It is known that Θ(log n) chords must be added to an n-cycle to produce a pancyclic graph; for vertex pancyclicity, where every vertex belongs to a cycle of every length, Θ(n) chords are required. A possibly ‘intermediate’ variation is the following: given k, 1 ≤ k ≤ n, how many chords must be added to ensure that there exist cycles of every possible length each of which passes exactly k chords? For fixed k, we establish a lower bound of ∩(n1/k) on the growth rate.

The cycle-complete graph Ramsey number r(C₅,K₇)

Ingo Schiermeyer (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The cycle-complete graph Ramsey number r(Cₘ,Kₙ) is the smallest integer N such that every graph G of order N contains a cycle Cₘ on m vertices or has independence number α(G) ≥ n. It has been conjectured by Erdős, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp that r(Cₘ,Kₙ) = (m-1)(n-1)+1 for all m ≥ n ≥ 3 (except r(C₃,K₃) = 6). This conjecture holds for 3 ≤ n ≤ 6. In this paper we will present a proof for r(C₅,K₇) = 25.

Heavy Subgraph Conditions for Longest Cycles to Be Heavy in Graphs

Binlong Lia, Shenggui Zhang (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a graph on n vertices. A vertex of G with degree at least n/2 is called a heavy vertex, and a cycle of G which contains all the heavy vertices of G is called a heavy cycle. In this note, we characterize graphs which contain no heavy cycles. For a given graph H, we say that G is H-heavy if every induced subgraph of G isomorphic to H contains two nonadjacent vertices with degree sum at least n. We find all the connected graphs S such that a 2-connected graph G being S-heavy implies...
