On integral sum graphs with a saturated vertex

Zhibo Chen (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

As introduced by F. Harary in 1994, a graph G is said to be an i n t e g r a l s u m g r a p h if its vertices can be given a labeling f with distinct integers so that for any two distinct vertices u and v of G , u v is an edge of G if and only if f ( u ) + f ( v ) = f ( w ) for some vertex w in G . We prove that every integral sum graph with a saturated vertex, except the complete graph K 3 , has edge-chromatic number equal to its maximum degree. (A vertex of a graph G is said to be if it is adjacent to every...

A bound on the k -domination number of a graph

Lutz Volkmann (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let G be a graph with vertex set V ( G ) , and let k ≥ 1 be an integer. A subset D ⊆ V ( G ) is called a if every vertex v ∈ V ( G ) - D has at least k neighbors in D . The k -domination number γ k ( G ) of G is the minimum cardinality of a k -dominating set in G . If G is a graph with minimum degree δ ( G ) ≥ k + 1 , then we prove that γ k + 1 ( G ) ≤ | V ( G ) | + γ k ( G ) 2 . In addition, we present a characterization of a special class of graphs attaining equality in this inequality.

The cobondage number of a graph

V.R. Kulli, B. Janakiram (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A set D of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is a dominating set of G if every vertex in V-D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domination number γ(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set. We define the cobondage number b c ( G ) of G to be the minimum cardinality among the sets of edges X ⊆ P₂(V) - E, where P₂(V) = X ⊆ V:|X| = 2 such that γ(G+X) < γ(G). In this paper, the exact values of bc(G) for some standard graphs are found and some bounds are obtained. Also, a Nordhaus-Gaddum...

A note on the independent domination number of subset graph

Xue-Gang Chen, De-xiang Ma, Hua Ming Xing, Liang Sun (2005)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The independent domination number i ( G ) (independent number β ( G ) ) is the minimum (maximum) cardinality among all maximal independent sets of G . Haviland (1995) conjectured that any connected regular graph G of order n and degree δ ≤ 1 2 n satisfies i ( G ) ≤ ⌈ 2 n 3 δ ⌉ 1 2 δ . For 1 ≤ k ≤ l ≤ m , the subset graph S m ( k , l ) is the bipartite graph whose vertices are the k - and l -subsets of an m element ground set where two vertices are adjacent if and only if one subset is contained in the other. In this paper, we give a sharp upper bound for i ( S m ( k , l ) ) and...

On well-covered graphs of odd girth 7 or greater

Bert Randerath, Preben Dahl Vestergaard (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A maximum independent set of vertices in a graph is a set of pairwise nonadjacent vertices of largest cardinality α. Plummer [14] defined a graph to be well-covered, if every independent set is contained in a maximum independent set of G. One of the most challenging problems in this area, posed in the survey of Plummer [15], is to find a good characterization of well-covered graphs of girth 4. We examine several subclasses of well-covered graphs of girth ≥ 4 with respect to the odd girth...
