Extremal bipartite graphs with a unique k-factor

Arne Hoffmann, Elżbieta Sidorowicz, Lutz Volkmann (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given integers p > k > 0, we consider the following problem of extremal graph theory: How many edges can a bipartite graph of order 2p have, if it contains a unique k-factor? We show that a labeling of the vertices in each part exists, such that at each vertex the indices of its neighbours in the factor are either all greater or all smaller than those of its neighbours in the graph without the factor. This enables us to prove that every bipartite graph with a unique k-factor and...

On some variations of extremal graph problems

Gabriel Semanišin (1997)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A set P of graphs is termed hereditary property if and only if it contains all subgraphs of any graph G belonging to P. A graph is said to be maximal with respect to a hereditary property P (shortly P-maximal) whenever it belongs to P and none of its proper supergraphs of the same order has the property P. A graph is P-extremal if it has a the maximum number of edges among all P-maximal graphs of given order. The number of its edges is denoted by ex(n, P). If the number of edges...

An advance in infinite graph models for the analysis of transportation networks

Martín Cera, Eugenio M. Fedriani (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This paper extends to infinite graphs the most general extremal issues, which are problems of determining the maximum number of edges of a graph not containing a given subgraph. It also relates the new results with the corresponding situations for the finite case. In particular, concepts from ‘finite' graph theory, like the average degree and the extremal number, are generalized and computed for some specific cases. Finally, some applications of infinite graphs to the transportation...

Pₘ-saturated bipartite graphs with minimum size

Aneta Dudek, A. Paweł Wojda (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph G is said to be H-saturated if G is H-free i.e., (G has no subgraph isomorphic to H) and adding any new edge to G creates a copy of H in G. In 1986 L. Kászonyi and Zs. Tuza considered the following problem: for given m and n find the minimum size sat(n;Pₘ) of Pₘ-saturated graph of order n. They gave the number sat(n;Pₘ) for n big enough. We deal with similar problem for bipartite graphs.

Note on enumeration of labeled split graphs

Vladislav Bína, Jiří Přibil (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

The paper brings explicit formula for enumeration of vertex-labeled split graphs with given number of vertices. The authors derive this formula combinatorially using an auxiliary assertion concerning number of split graphs with given clique number. In conclusion authors discuss enumeration of vertex-labeled bipartite graphs, i.e., a graphical class defined in a similar manner to the class of split graphs.

Degree Sequences of Monocore Graphs

Allan Bickle (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A k-monocore graph is a graph which has its minimum degree and degeneracy both equal to k. Integer sequences that can be the degree sequence of some k-monocore graph are characterized as follows. A nonincreasing sequence of integers d0, . . . , dn is the degree sequence of some k-monocore graph G, 0 ≤ k ≤ n − 1, if and only if k ≤ di ≤ min {n − 1, k + n − i} and ⨊di = 2m, where m satisfies [...] ≤ m ≤ k ・ n − [...] .

Light Graphs In Planar Graphs Of Large Girth

Peter Hudák, Mária Maceková, Tomáš Madaras, Pavol Široczki (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph H is defined to be light in a graph family 𝒢 if there exist finite numbers φ(H, 𝒢) and w(H, 𝒢) such that each G ∈ 𝒢 which contains H as a subgraph, also contains its isomorphic copy K with ΔG(K) ≤ φ(H, 𝒢) and ∑x∈V(K) degG(x) ≤ w(H, 𝒢). In this paper, we investigate light graphs in families of plane graphs of minimum degree 2 with prescribed girth and no adjacent 2-vertices, specifying several necessary conditions for their lightness and providing sharp bounds on φ and w...
