Remarks on $D$ -integral complete multipartite graphs

Pavel Híc, Milan Pokorný (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph is called distance integral (or $D$ -integral) if all eigenvalues of its distance matrix are integers. In their study of $D$ -integral complete multipartite graphs, Yang and Wang (2015) posed two questions on the existence of such graphs. We resolve these questions and present some further results on $D$ -integral complete multipartite graphs. We give the first known distance integral complete multipartite graphs $K_{p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3}}$ with $p_{1} < p_{2} < p_{3}$ , and $K_{p_{1}, p_{2}, p_{3}, p_{4}}$ with $p_{1} < p_{2} < p_{3} < p_{4}$ , as well as the infinite classes of distance integral...

On 𝓕-independence in graphs

Frank Göring, Jochen Harant, Dieter Rautenbach, Ingo Schiermeyer (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let be a set of graphs and for a graph G let $α_{} (G)$ and $α *_{} (G)$ denote the maximum order of an induced subgraph of G which does not contain a graph in as a subgraph and which does not contain a graph in as an induced subgraph, respectively. Lower bounds on $α_{} (G)$ and $α *_{} (G)$ are presented.

On characterization of uniquely 3-list colorable complete multipartite graphs

Yancai Zhao, Erfang Shan (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For each vertex v of a graph G, if there exists a list of k colors, L(v), such that there is a unique proper coloring for G from this collection of lists, then G is called a uniquely k-list colorable graph. Ghebleh and Mahmoodian characterized uniquely 3-list colorable complete multipartite graphs except for nine graphs: $K_{2, 2, r}$ r ∈ 4,5,6,7,8, $K_{2, 3, 4}$ , $K_{1 * 4, 4}$ , $K_{1 * 4, 5}$ , $K_{1 * 5, 4}$ . Also, they conjectured that the nine graphs are not U3LC graphs. After that, except for $K_{2, 2, r}$ r ∈ 4,5,6,7,8, the others have been proved not...

Edit distance measure for graphs

Tomasz Dzido, Krzysztof Krzywdziński (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In this paper, we investigate a measure of similarity of graphs similar to the Ramsey number. We present values and bounds for $g (n, l)$ , the biggest number $k$ guaranteeing that there exist $l$ graphs on $n$ vertices, each two having edit distance at least $k$ . By edit distance of two graphs $G$ , $F$ we mean the number of edges needed to be added to or deleted from graph $G$ to obtain graph $F$ . This new extremal number $g (n, l)$ is closely linked to the edit distance of graphs. Using probabilistic methods we show...

Paired domination in prisms of graphs

Christina M. Mynhardt, Mark Schurch (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The paired domination number $γ_{p r} (G)$ of a graph G is the smallest cardinality of a dominating set S of G such that ⟨S⟩ has a perfect matching. The generalized prisms πG of G are the graphs obtained by joining the vertices of two disjoint copies of G by |V(G)| independent edges. We provide characterizations of the following three classes of graphs: $γ_{p r} (π G) = 2 γ_{p r} (G)$ for all πG; $γ_{p r} (K ₂ ☐ G) = 2 γ_{p r} (G)$ ; $γ_{p r} (K ₂ ☐ G) = γ_{p r} (G)$ .

Intrinsic linking and knotting are arbitrarily complex

Erica Flapan, Blake Mellor, Ramin Naimi (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that, given any n and α, any embedding of any sufficiently large complete graph in ℝ³ contains an oriented link with components Q₁, ..., Qₙ such that for every i ≠ j, $| l k (Q_{i}, Q_{j}) | \geq α$ and $| a ₂ (Q_{i}) | \geq α$ , where $a ₂ (Q_{i})$ denotes the second coefficient of the Conway polynomial of $Q_{i}$ .

A note on the independent domination number versus the domination number in bipartite graphs

Shaohui Wang, Bing Wei (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $γ (G)$ and $i (G)$ be the domination number and the independent domination number of $G$ , respectively. Rad and Volkmann posted a conjecture that $i (G) / γ (G) \leq Δ (G) / 2$ for any graph $G$ , where $Δ (G)$ is its maximum degree (see N. J. Rad, L. Volkmann (2013)). In this work, we verify the conjecture for bipartite graphs. Several graph classes attaining the extremal bound and graphs containing odd cycles with the ratio larger than $Δ (G) / 2$ are provided as well.

Roman bondage in graphs

Nader Jafari Rad, Lutz Volkmann (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A Roman dominating function on a graph G is a function f:V(G) → 0,1,2 satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value $f (V (G)) = \sum_{u \in V (G)} f (u)$ . The Roman domination number, $γ_{R} (G)$ , of G is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G. In this paper, we define the Roman bondage $b_{R} (G)$ of a graph G with maximum degree at least two to be the minimum cardinality of all sets E’ ⊆ E(G)...

Domination and independence subdivision numbers of graphs

Teresa W. Haynes, Sandra M. Hedetniemi, Stephen T. Hedetniemi (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The domination subdivision number $s d_{γ} (G)$ of a graph is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (where an edge can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the domination number. Arumugam showed that this number is at most three for any tree, and conjectured that the upper bound of three holds for any graph. Although we do not prove this interesting conjecture, we give an upper bound for the domination subdivision number for any graph G in terms of the minimum degrees of...

On the bounds of Laplacian eigenvalues of $k$ -connected graphs

Xiaodan Chen, Yaoping Hou (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $μ_{n - 1} (G)$ be the algebraic connectivity, and let $μ_{1} (G)$ be the Laplacian spectral radius of a $k$ -connected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges. In this paper, we prove that $μ_{n - 1} (G) \geq \frac{2 n k^{2}}{(n (n - 1) - 2 m) (n + k - 2) + 2 k^{2}},$ with equality if and only if $G$ is the complete graph $K_{n}$ or $K_{n} - e$ . Moreover, if $G$ is non-regular, then $μ_{1} (G) < 2 Δ - \frac{2 (n Δ - 2 m) k^{2}}{2 (n Δ - 2 m) (n^{2} - 2 n + 2 k) + n k^{2}},$ where $Δ$ stands for the maximum degree of $G$ . Remark that in some cases, these two inequalities improve some previously known results.

On the diameter of the intersection graph of a finite simple group

Xuanlong Ma (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a finite group. The intersection graph $Δ_{G}$ of $G$ is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper nontrivial subgroups of $G$ , and two distinct vertices $X$ and $Y$ are adjacent if $X \cap Y \neq 1$ , where $1$ denotes the trivial subgroup of order $1$ . A question was posed by Shen (2010) whether the diameters of intersection graphs of finite non-abelian simple groups have an upper bound. We answer the question and show that the diameters...

Distance independence in graphs

J. Louis Sewell, Peter J. Slater (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a set D of positive integers, we define a vertex set S ⊆ V(G) to be D-independent if u, v ∈ S implies the distance d(u,v) ∉ D. The D-independence number $β_{D} (G)$ is the maximum cardinality of a D-independent set. In particular, the independence number $β (G) = β_{1} (G)$ . Along with general results we consider, in particular, the odd-independence number $β_{O D D} (G)$ where ODD = 1,3,5,....

Vladimír Lacko (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) on Halin graphs with three types of cost functions: sum, bottleneck and balanced and with arbitrary real edge costs we compute in polynomial time the persistency partition $E_{A l l}$ , $E_{S o m e}$ , $E_{N o n e}$ of the edge set E, where: $E_{A l l}$ = e ∈ E, e belongs to all optimum solutions, $E_{N o n e}$ = e ∈ E, e does not belong to any optimum solution and $E_{S o m e}$ = e ∈ E, e belongs to some but not to all optimum solutions.

Edge-colouring of graphs and hereditary graph properties

Samantha Dorfling, Tomáš Vetrík (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Edge-colourings of graphs have been studied for decades. We study edge-colourings with respect to hereditary graph properties. For a graph $G$ , a hereditary graph property $𝒫$ and $l \geq 1$ we define $χ_{𝒫, l}^{'} (G)$ to be the minimum number of colours needed to properly colour the edges of $G$ , such that any subgraph of $G$ induced by edges coloured by (at most) $l$ colours is in $𝒫$ . We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of $χ_{𝒫, l}^{'} (G)$ . We focus on edge-colourings of graphs with respect to the hereditary...
