Proper connection number of bipartite graphs

Jun Yue, Meiqin Wei, Yan Zhao (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

An edge-colored graph $G$ is proper connected if every pair of vertices is connected by a proper path. The proper connection number of a connected graph $G$ , denoted by $pc (G)$ , is the smallest number of colors that are needed to color the edges of $G$ in order to make it proper connected. In this paper, we obtain the sharp upper bound for $pc (G)$ of a general bipartite graph $G$ and a series of extremal graphs. Additionally, we give a proper $2$ -coloring for a connected bipartite graph $G$ having $δ (G) \geq 2$ and a dominating...

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...

Degree sums of adjacent vertices for traceability of claw-free graphs

Tao Tian, Liming Xiong, Zhi-Hong Chen, Shipeng Wang (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The line graph of a graph $G$ , denoted by $L (G)$ , has $E (G)$ as its vertex set, where two vertices in $L (G)$ are adjacent if and only if the corresponding edges in $G$ have a vertex in common. For a graph $H$ , define ${\bar{σ}}_{2} (H) = min {d (u) + d (v) : u v \in E (H)}$ . Let $H$ be a 2-connected claw-free simple graph of order $n$ with $δ (H) \geq 3$ . We show that, if ${\bar{σ}}_{2} (H) \geq \frac{1}{7} (2 n - 5)$ and $n$ is sufficiently large, then either $H$ is traceable or the Ryjáček’s closure $cl (H) = L (G)$ , where $G$ is an essentially $2$ -edge-connected triangle-free graph that can be contracted to one of the two graphs of order 10...

Characterization by intersection graph of some families of finite nonsimple groups

Hossein Shahsavari, Behrooz Khosravi (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For a finite group $G$ , $Γ (G)$ , the intersection graph of $G$ , is a simple graph whose vertices are all nontrivial proper subgroups of $G$ and two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent when $H \cap K \neq 1$ . In this paper, we classify all finite nonsimple groups whose intersection graphs have a leaf and also we discuss the characterizability of them using their intersection graphs.

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 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...

Even factor of bridgeless graphs containing two specified edges

Nastaran Haghparast, Dariush Kiani (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

An even factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph in which each vertex has a positive even degree. Let $G$ be a bridgeless simple graph with minimum degree at least $3$ . Jackson and Yoshimoto (2007) showed that $G$ has an even factor containing two arbitrary prescribed edges. They also proved that $G$ has an even factor in which each component has order at least four. Moreover, Xiong, Lu and Han (2009) showed that for each pair of edges $e_{1}$ and $e_{2}$ of $G$ , there is an even factor containing $e_{1}$ and $e_{2}$ ...

Saturation numbers for linear forests $P_{6} + t P_{2}$

Jingru Yan (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph $G$ is $H$ -saturated if it contains no $H$ as a subgraph, but does contain $H$ after the addition of any edge in the complement of $G$ . The saturation number, $sat (n, H)$ , is the minimum number of edges of a graph in the set of all $H$ -saturated graphs of order $n$ . We determine the saturation number $sat (n, P_{6} + t P_{2})$ for $n \geq \frac{10}{3} t + 10$ and characterize the extremal graphs for $n > \frac{10}{3} t + 20$ .

Some results on the co-intersection graph of submodules of a module

Lotf Ali Mahdavi, Yahya Talebi (2018)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let $R$ be a ring with identity and $M$ be a unitary left $R$ -module. The co-intersection graph of proper submodules of $M$ , denoted by $Ω (M)$ , is an undirected simple graph whose vertex set $V (Ω)$ is a set of all nontrivial submodules of $M$ and two distinct vertices $N$ and $K$ are adjacent if and only if $N + K \neq M$ . We study the connectivity, the core and the clique number of $Ω (M)$ . Also, we provide some conditions on the module $M$ , under which the clique number of $Ω (M)$ is infinite and $Ω (M)$ is a planar graph. Moreover, we give...

Neighbor sum distinguishing list total coloring of IC-planar graphs without 5-cycles

Donghan Zhang (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G = (V (G), E (G))$ be a simple graph and $E_{G} (v)$ denote the set of edges incident with a vertex $v$ . A neighbor sum distinguishing (NSD) total coloring $φ$ of $G$ is a proper total coloring of $G$ such that $\sum_{z \in E_{G} (u) \cup {u}} φ (z) \neq \sum_{z \in E_{G} (v) \cup {v}} φ (z)$ for each edge $u v \in E (G)$ . Pilśniak and Woźniak asserted in 2015 that each graph with maximum degree $Δ$ admits an NSD total $(Δ + 3)$ -coloring. We prove that the list version of this conjecture holds for any IC-planar graph with $Δ \geq 11$ but without $5$ -cycles by applying the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz.

On the intersection graph of a finite group

Hossein Shahsavari, Behrooz Khosravi (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For a finite group $G$ , the intersection graph of $G$ which is denoted by $Γ (G)$ is an undirected graph such that its vertices are all nontrivial proper subgroups of $G$ and two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent when $H \cap K \neq 1$ . In this paper we classify all finite groups whose intersection graphs are regular. Also, we find some results on the intersection graphs of simple groups and finally we study the structure of $Aut (Γ (G))$ .

Maximum bipartite subgraphs in $H$ -free graphs

Jing Lin (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Given a graph $G$ , let $f (G)$ denote the maximum number of edges in a bipartite subgraph of $G$ . Given a fixed graph $H$ and a positive integer $m$ , let $f (m, H)$ denote the minimum possible cardinality of $f (G)$ , as $G$ ranges over all graphs on $m$ edges that contain no copy of $H$ . In this paper we prove that $f (m, θ_{k, s}) \geq \frac{1}{2} m + Ω (m^{(2 k + 1) / (2 k + 2)})$ , which extends the results of N. Alon, M. Krivelevich, B. Sudakov. Write $K_{k}^{'}$ and $K_{t, s}^{'}$ for the subdivisions of $K_{k}$ and $K_{t, s}$ . We show that $f (m, K_{k}^{'}) \geq \frac{1}{2} m + Ω (m^{(5 k - 8) / (6 k - 10)})$ and $f (m, K_{t, s}^{'}) \geq \frac{1}{2} m + Ω (m^{(5 t - 1) / (6 t - 2)})$ , improving a result of Q. Zeng, J. Hou. We also give lower bounds on...
