Decompositions of quadrangle-free planar graphs

Oleg V. Borodin, Anna O. Ivanova, Alexandr V. Kostochka, Naeem N. Sheikh (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

W. He et al. showed that a planar graph not containing 4-cycles can be decomposed into a forest and a graph with maximum degree at most 7. This degree restriction was improved to 6 by Borodin et al. We further lower this bound to 5 and show that it cannot be improved to 3.

Characterizations of planar plick graphs

V.R. Kulli, B. Basavanagoud (2004)

Similarity:

In this paper we present characterizations of graphs whose plick graphs are planar, outerplanar and minimally nonouterplanar.

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...

On An Extremal Problem In The Class Of Bipartite 1-Planar Graphs

Július Czap, Jakub Przybyło, Erika Škrabuľáková (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph G = (V, E) is called 1-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane such that each edge is crossed at most once. In this paper, we study bipartite 1-planar graphs with prescribed numbers of vertices in partite sets. Bipartite 1-planar graphs are known to have at most 3n − 8 edges, where n denotes the order of a graph. We show that maximal-size bipartite 1-planar graphs which are almost balanced have not significantly fewer edges than indicated by this upper bound, while the same...

2-distance 4-colorability of planar subcubic graphs with girth at least 22

Oleg V. Borodin, Anna O. Ivanova (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The trivial lower bound for the 2-distance chromatic number χ₂(G) of any graph G with maximum degree Δ is Δ+1. It is known that χ₂ = Δ+1 if the girth g of G is at least 7 and Δ is large enough. There are graphs with arbitrarily large Δ and g ≤ 6 having χ₂(G) ≥ Δ+2. We prove the 2-distance 4-colorability of planar subcubic graphs with g ≥ 22.

A note on uniquely H-colourable graphs

Anthony Bonato (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a graph H, we compare two notions of uniquely H-colourable graphs, where one is defined via automorphisms, the second by vertex partitions. We prove that the two notions of uniquely H-colourable are not identical for all H, and we give a condition for when they are identical. The condition is related to the first homomorphism theorem from algebra.

Minimal claw-free graphs

P. Dankelmann, Henda C. Swart, P. van den Berg, Wayne Goddard, M. D. Plummer (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph G is a minimal claw-free graph (m.c.f. graph) if it contains no K 1 , 3 (claw) as an induced subgraph and if, for each edge e of G , G - e contains an induced claw. We investigate properties of m.c.f. graphs, establish sharp bounds on their orders and the degrees of their vertices, and characterize graphs which have m.c.f. line graphs.
