Weak Saturation Numbers for Sparse Graphs

Ralph J. Faudree, Ronald J. Gould, Michael S. Jacobson (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a fixed graph F, a graph G is F-saturated if there is no copy of F in G, but for any edge e ∉ G, there is a copy of F in G + e. The minimum number of edges in an F-saturated graph of order n will be denoted by sat(n, F). A graph G is weakly F-saturated if there is an ordering of the missing edges of G so that if they are added one at a time, each edge added creates a new copy of F. The minimum size of a weakly F-saturated graph G of order n will be denoted by wsat(n, F). The graphs...

On the Vertex Separation of Maximal Outerplanar Graphs

Markov, Minko (2008)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

We investigate the NP-complete problem Vertex Separation (VS) on Maximal Outerplanar Graphs (mops). We formulate and prove a “main theorem for mops”, a necessary and sufficient condition for the vertex separation of a mop being k. The main theorem reduces the vertex separation of mops to a special kind of stretchability, one that we call affixability, of submops.
