Extension of several sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian graphs

Ahmed Ainouche (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a 2-connected graph of order n. Suppose that for all 3-independent sets X in G, there exists a vertex u in X such that |N(X∖u)|+d(u) ≥ n-1. Using the concept of dual closure, we prove that 1. G is hamiltonian if and only if its 0-dual closure is either complete or the cycle C₇ 2. G is nonhamiltonian if and only if its 0-dual closure is either the graph $(K_{r} \cup K ₛ \cup K ₜ) \lor K ₂$ , 1 ≤ r ≤ s ≤ t or the graph $((n + 1) / 2) K ₁ \lor K_{(n - 1) / 2}$ . It follows that it takes a polynomial time to check the hamiltonicity or the nonhamiltonicity...

A note on a new condition implying pancyclism

Evelyne Flandrin, Hao Li, Antoni Marczyk, Mariusz Woźniak (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We first show that if a 2-connected graph G of order n is such that for each two vertices u and v such that δ = d(u) and d(v) < n/2 the edge uv belongs to E(G), then G is hamiltonian. Next, by using this result, we prove that a graph G satysfying the above condition is either pancyclic or isomorphic to $K_{n / 2, n / 2}$ .

Variations on a sufficient condition for Hamiltonian graphs

Ahmed Ainouche, Serge Lapiquonne (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given a 2-connected graph G on n vertices, let G* be its partially square graph, obtained by adding edges uv whenever the vertices u,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 particular, this condition is satisfied if x does not center a claw (an induced $K_{1, 3}$ ). Clearly G ⊆ G* ⊆ G², where G² is the square of G. For any independent triple X = x,y,z we define σ̅(X) = d(x) + d(y) + d(z) - |N(x) ∩ N(y) ∩ N(z)|. Flandrin et al. proved that a 2-connected graph G is hamiltonian...

For each fixed pair α,c > 0 let INDEPENDENT SET ( $m \leq c n^{α}$ ) and INDEPENDENT SET ( $m \geq (ⁿ ₂) - c n^{α}$ ) be the problem INDEPENDENT SET restricted to graphs on n vertices with $m \leq c n^{α}$ or $m \geq (ⁿ ₂) - c n^{α}$ edges, respectively.

On a family of cubic graphs containing the flower snarks

Jean-Luc Fouquet, Henri Thuillier, Jean-Marie Vanherpe (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We consider cubic graphs formed with k ≥ 2 disjoint claws $C_{i} K_{1, 3}$ (0 ≤ i ≤ k-1) such that for every integer i modulo k the three vertices of degree 1 of $C_{i}$ are joined to the three vertices of degree 1 of $C_{i - 1}$ and joined to the three vertices of degree 1 of $C_{i + 1}$ . Denote by $t_{i}$ the vertex of degree 3 of $C_{i}$ and by T the set $t ₁, t ₂, . . ., t_{k - 1}$ . In such a way we construct three distinct graphs, namely FS(1,k), FS(2,k) and FS(3,k). The graph FS(j,k) (j ∈ 1,2,3) is the graph where the set of vertices $⋃_{i = 0}^{i = k - 1} V (C_{i}) ∖ T$ induce j cycles (note...

Intersection graph of gamma sets in the total graph

T. Tamizh Chelvam, T. Asir (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper, we consider the intersection graph $I_{Γ} (ℤ ₙ)$ of gamma sets in the total graph on ℤₙ. We characterize the values of n for which $I_{Γ} (ℤ ₙ)$ is complete, bipartite, cycle, chordal and planar. Further, we prove that $I_{Γ} (ℤ ₙ)$ is an Eulerian, Hamiltonian and as well as a pancyclic graph. Also we obtain the value of the independent number, the clique number, the chromatic number, the connectivity and some domination parameters of $I_{Γ} (ℤ ₙ)$ .

Hamiltonian colorings of graphs with long cycles

Ladislav Nebeský (2003)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

By a hamiltonian coloring of a connected graph $G$ of order $n \geq 1$ we mean a mapping $c$ of $V (G)$ into the set of all positive integers such that $| c (x) - c (y) | \geq n - 1 - D_{G} (x, y)$ (where $D_{G} (x, y)$ denotes the length of a longest $x - y$ path in $G$ ) for all distinct $x, y \in G$ . In this paper we study hamiltonian colorings of non-hamiltonian connected graphs with long cycles, mainly of connected graphs of order $n \geq 5$ with circumference $n - 2$ .

Hamiltonian-colored powers of strong digraphs

Garry Johns, Ryan Jones, Kyle Kolasinski, Ping Zhang (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a strong oriented graph D of order n and diameter d and an integer k with 1 ≤ k ≤ d, the kth power $D^{k}$ of D is that digraph having vertex set V(D) with the property that (u, v) is an arc of $D^{k}$ if the directed distance $^{\to} d_{D} (u, v)$ from u to v in D is at most k. For every strong digraph D of order n ≥ 2 and every integer k ≥ ⌈n/2⌉, the digraph $D^{k}$ is Hamiltonian and the lower bound ⌈n/2⌉ is sharp. The digraph $D^{k}$ is distance-colored if each arc (u, v) of $D^{k}$ is assigned the color i where $i =^{\to} d_{D} (u, v)$ . The digraph...

The hamiltonian chromatic number of a connected graph without large hamiltonian-connected subgraphs

Ladislav Nebeský (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

If $G$ is a connected graph of order $n \geq 1$ , then by a hamiltonian coloring of $G$ we mean a mapping $c$ of $V (G)$ into the set of all positive integers such that $| c (x) - c (y) | \geq n - 1 - D_{G} (x, y)$ (where $D_{G} (x, y)$ denotes the length of a longest $x - y$ path in $G$ ) for all distinct $x, y \in V (G)$ . Let $G$ be a connected graph. By the hamiltonian chromatic number of $G$ we mean $min (max (c (z); z \in V (G))),$ where the minimum is taken over all hamiltonian colorings $c$ of $G$ . The main result of this paper can be formulated as follows: Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n \geq 3$ . Assume that there exists...

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.

4-cycle properties for characterizing rectagraphs and hypercubes

Khadra Bouanane, Abdelhafid Berrachedi (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A $(0, 2)$ -graph is a connected graph, where each pair of vertices has either 0 or 2 common neighbours. These graphs constitute a subclass of $(0, λ)$ -graphs introduced by Mulder in 1979. A rectagraph, well known in diagram geometry, is a triangle-free $(0, 2)$ -graph. $(0, 2)$ -graphs include hypercubes, folded cube graphs and some particular graphs such as icosahedral graph, Shrikhande graph, Klein graph, Gewirtz graph, etc. In this paper, we give some local properties of 4-cycles in $(0, λ)$ -graphs and more specifically...

On traceability and 2-factors in claw-free graphs

Dalibor Fronček, Zdeněk Ryjáček, Zdzisław Skupień (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

If G is a claw-free graph of sufficiently large order n, satisfying a degree condition σₖ > n + k² - 4k + 7 (where k is an arbitrary constant), then G has a 2-factor with at most k - 1 components. As a second main result, we present classes of graphs ₁,...,₈ such that every sufficiently large connected claw-free graph satisfying degree condition σ₆(k) > n + 19 (or, as a corollary, δ(G) > (n+19)/6) either belongs to $⋃ ⁸_{i = 1} i$ or is traceable.

The cubic Szegő equation

Patrick Gérard, Sandrine Grellier (2010)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

Similarity:

We consider the following Hamiltonian equation on the $L^{2}$ Hardy space on the circle, $i \partial_{t} u = {Π (| u |}^{2} u),$ where $Π$ is the Szegő projector. This equation can be seen as a toy model for totally non dispersive evolution equations. We display a Lax pair structure for this equation. We prove that it admits an infinite sequence of conservation laws in involution, and that it can be approximated by a sequence of finite dimensional completely integrable Hamiltonian systems. We establish several...
