Connectivity, toughness, spanning trees of bounded degree, and the spectrum of regular graphs

Sebastian M. Cioabă, Xiaofeng Gu (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The eigenvalues of graphs are related to many of its combinatorial properties. In his fundamental work, Fiedler showed the close connections between the Laplacian eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a graph and its vertex-connectivity and edge-connectivity. We present some new results describing the connections between the spectrum of a regular graph and other combinatorial parameters such as its generalized connectivity, toughness, and the existence of spanning trees with bounded degree. ...

Tree-Like Partial Hamming Graphs

Tanja Gologranc (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Tree-like partial cubes were introduced in [B. Brešar, W. Imrich, S. Klavžar, Tree-like isometric subgraphs of hypercubes, Discuss. Math. Graph Theory, 23 (2003), 227-240] as a generalization of median graphs. We present some incorrectnesses from that article. In particular we point to a gap in the proof of the theorem about the dismantlability of the cube graph of a tree-like partial cube and give a new proof of that result, which holds also for a bigger class of graphs, so called tree-like...

The inertia of unicyclic graphs and bicyclic graphs

Ying Liu (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae - General Algebra and Applications

Similarity:

Let G be a graph with n vertices and ν(G) be the matching number of G. The inertia of a graph G, In(G) = (n₊,n₋,n₀) is an integer triple specifying the numbers of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix A(G), respectively. Let η(G) = n₀ denote the nullity of G (the multiplicity of the eigenvalue zero of G). It is well known that if G is a tree, then η(G) = n - 2ν(G). Guo et al. [Ji-Ming Guo, Weigen Yan and Yeong-Nan Yeh. On the nullity and the matching number...

Note: Sharp Upper and Lower Bounds on the Number of Spanning Trees in Cartesian Product of Graphs

Jernej Azarija (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G1 and G2 be simple graphs and let n1 = |V (G1)|, m1 = |E(G1)|, n2 = |V (G2)| and m2 = |E(G2)|. In this paper we derive sharp upper and lower bounds for the number of spanning trees τ in the Cartesian product G1 □G2 of G1 and G2. We show that: [...] and [...] . We also characterize the graphs for which equality holds. As a by-product we derive a formula for the number of spanning trees in Kn1 □Kn2 which turns out to be [...] .
