On the minus domination number of graphs

Hailong Liu, Liang Sun (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G = (V, E)$ be a simple graph. A $3$ -valued function $f V (G) \to {- 1, 0, 1}$ is said to be a minus dominating function if for every vertex $v \in V$ , $f (N [v]) = \sum_{u \in N [v]} f (u) \geq 1$ , where $N [v]$ is the closed neighborhood of $v$ . The weight of a minus dominating function $f$ on $G$ is $f (V) = \sum_{v \in V} f (v)$ . The minus domination number of a graph $G$ , denoted by $γ^{-} (G)$ , equals the minimum weight of a minus dominating function on $G$ . In this paper, the following two results are obtained. (1) If $G$ is a bipartite graph of order $n$ , then $γ^{-} (G) \geq 4 (\sqrt{n + 1} - 1) - n .$ (2) For any negative integer $k$ and any positive integer...

Restrained domination in unicyclic graphs

Johannes H. Hattingh, Ernst J. Joubert, Marc Loizeaux, Andrew R. Plummer, Lucas van der Merwe (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A set S ⊆ V is a restrained dominating set if every vertex in V-S is adjacent to a vertex in S and to a vertex in V-S. The restrained domination number of G, denoted by $γ_{r} (G)$ , is the minimum cardinality of a restrained dominating set of G. A unicyclic graph is a connected graph that contains precisely one cycle. We show that if U is a unicyclic graph of order n, then $γ_{r} (U) \geq ⎡ n / 3 ⎤$ , and provide a characterization of graphs achieving this bound.

Remarks on partially square graphs, hamiltonicity and circumference

Hamamache Kheddouci (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given a graph G, its partially square graph G* is a graph obtained by adding an edge (u,v) for each pair u, v of vertices of G at distance 2 whenever the vertices u and v have a common neighbor x satisfying the condition $N_{G} (x) \subseteq N_{G} [u] \cup N_{G} [v]$ , where $N_{G} [x] = N_{G} (x) \cup x$ . In the case where G is a claw-free graph, G* is equal to G². We define $σ ° ₜ = m i n \sum_{x \in S} d_{G} (x) : S i s a n i n d e p e n d e n t s e t i n G * a n d | S | = t$ . We give for hamiltonicity and circumference new sufficient conditions depending on σ° and we improve some known results.

Iterated neighborhood graphs

Martin Sonntag, Hanns-Martin Teichert (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The neighborhood graph N(G) of a simple undirected graph G = (V,E) is the graph $(V, E_{N})$ where $E_{N}$ = a,b | a ≠ b, x,a ∈ E and x,b ∈ E for some x ∈ V. It is well-known that the neighborhood graph N(G) is connected if and only if the graph G is connected and non-bipartite. We present some results concerning the k-iterated neighborhood graph $N^{k} (G) : = N (N (. . . N (G)))$ of G. In particular we investigate conditions for G and k such that $N^{k} (G)$ becomes a complete graph.

Signed total domination number of a graph

Bohdan Zelinka (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The signed total domination number of a graph is a certain variant of the domination number. If $v$ is a vertex of a graph $G$ , then $N (v)$ is its oper neighbourhood, i.e. the set of all vertices adjacent to $v$ in $G$ . A mapping $f : V (G) \to {- 1, 1}$ , where $V (G)$ is the vertex set of $G$ , is called a signed total dominating function (STDF) on $G$ , if $\sum_{x \in N (v)} f (x) \geq 1$ for each $v \in V (G)$ . The minimum of values $\sum_{x \in V (G)} f (x)$ , taken over all STDF’s of $G$ , is called the signed total domination number of $G$ and denoted by $γ_{s t} (G)$ . A theorem stating lower bounds for $γ_{s t} (G)$ is...

Potentially H-bigraphic sequences

Michael Ferrara, Michael Jacobson, John Schmitt, Mark Siggers (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We extend the notion of a potentially H-graphic sequence as follows. Let A and B be nonnegative integer sequences. The sequence pair S = (A,B) is said to be bigraphic if there is some bipartite graph G = (X ∪ Y,E) such that A and B are the degrees of the vertices in X and Y, respectively. If S is a bigraphic pair, let σ(S) denote the sum of the terms in A. Given a bigraphic pair S, and a fixed bipartite graph H, we say that S is potentially H-bigraphic if there is some realization of...

A note on periodicity of the 2-distance operator

Bohdan Zelinka (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The paper solves one problem by E. Prisner concerning the 2-distance operator T₂. This is an operator on the class $C_{f}$ of all finite undirected graphs. If G is a graph from $C_{f}$ , then T₂(G) is the graph with the same vertex set as G in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance in G is 2. E. Prisner asks whether the periodicity ≥ 3 is possible for T₂. In this paper an affirmative answer is given. A result concerning the periodicity 2 is added.

On light subgraphs in plane graphs of minimum degree five

Stanislav Jendrol&#039;, Tomáš Madaras (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A subgraph of a plane graph is light if the sum of the degrees of the vertices of the subgraph in the graph is small. It is well known that a plane graph of minimum degree five contains light edges and light triangles. In this paper we show that every plane graph of minimum degree five contains also light stars $K_{1, 3}$ and $K_{1, 4}$ and a light 4-path P₄. The results obtained for $K_{1, 3}$ and P₄ are best possible.

Distance in stratified graphs

Gary Chartrand, Lisa Hansen, Reza Rashidi, Naveed Sherwani (2000)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph $G$ is stratified if its vertex set is partitioned into classes, called strata. If there are $k$ strata, then $G$ is $k$ -stratified. These graphs were introduced to study problems in VLSI design. The strata in a stratified graph are also referred to as color classes. For a color $X$ in a stratified graph $G$ , the $X$ -eccentricity $e_{X} (v)$ of a vertex $v$ of $G$ is the distance between $v$ and an $X$ -colored vertex furthest from $v$ . The minimum $X$ -eccentricity among the vertices of $G$ is the $X$ -radius ${r a d}_{X} G$ of $G$ ...
