Relations between the domination parameters and the chromatic index of a graph

Włodzimierz Ulatowski (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper we show upper bounds for the sum and the product of the lower domination parameters and the chromatic index of a graph. We also present some families of graphs for which these upper bounds are achieved. Next, we give a lower bound for the sum of the upper domination parameters and the chromatic index. This lower bound is a function of the number of vertices of a graph and a new graph parameter which is defined here. In this case we also characterize graphs for which a respective...

Lower bounds for integral functionals generated by bipartite graphs

Barbara Kaskosz, Lubos Thoma (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We study lower estimates for integral fuctionals for which the structure of the integrand is defined by a graph, in particular, by a bipartite graph. Functionals of such kind appear in statistical mechanics and quantum chemistry in the context of Mayer's transformation and Mayer's cluster integrals. Integral functionals generated by graphs play an important role in the theory of graph limits. Specific kind of functionals generated by bipartite graphs are at the center of the famous and...

The leafage of a chordal graph

In-Jen Lin, Terry A. McKee, Douglas B. West (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The leafage l(G) of a chordal graph G is the minimum number of leaves of a tree in which G has an intersection representation by subtrees. We obtain upper and lower bounds on l(G) and compute it on special classes. The maximum of l(G) on n-vertex graphs is n - lg n - 1/2 lg lg n + O(1). The proper leafage l*(G) is the minimum number of leaves when no subtree may contain another; we obtain upper and lower bounds on l*(G). Leafage equals proper leafage on claw-free chordal graphs. We use...

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...

A Note on the Locating-Total Domination in Graphs

Mirka Miller, R. Sundara Rajan, R. Jayagopal, Indra Rajasingh, Paul Manuel (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper we obtain a sharp (improved) lower bound on the locating-total domination number of a graph, and show that the decision problem for the locating-total domination is NP-complete.

Some results on total domination in direct products of graphs

Paul Dorbec, Sylvain Gravier, Sandi Klavžar, Simon Spacapan (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Upper and lower bounds on the total domination number of the direct product of graphs are given. The bounds involve the {2}-total domination number, the total 2-tuple domination number, and the open packing number of the factors. Using these relationships one exact total domination number is obtained. An infinite family of graphs is constructed showing that the bounds are best possible. The domination number of direct products of graphs is also bounded from below.

Sharp Upper Bounds on the Clar Number of Fullerene Graphs

Yang Gao, Heping Zhang (2018)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The Clar number of a fullerene graph with n vertices is bounded above by ⌊n/6⌋ − 2 and this bound has been improved to ⌊n/6⌋ − 3 when n is congruent to 2 modulo 6. We can construct at least one fullerene graph attaining the upper bounds for every even number of vertices n ≥ 20 except n = 22 and n = 30.

Characterizing Cartesian fixers and multipliers

Stephen Benecke, Christina M. Mynhardt (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G ☐ H denote the Cartesian product of the graphs G and H. In 2004, Hartnell and Rall [On dominating the Cartesian product of a graph and K₂, Discuss. Math. Graph Theory 24(3) (2004), 389-402] characterized prism fixers, i.e., graphs G for which γ(G ☐ K₂) = γ(G), and noted that γ(G ☐ Kₙ) ≥ min{|V(G)|, γ(G)+n-2}. We call a graph G a consistent fixer if γ(G ☐ Kₙ) = γ(G)+n-2 for each n such that 2 ≤ n < |V(G)|- γ(G)+2, and characterize this class of graphs. Also...

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.

The Thickness of Amalgamations and Cartesian Product of Graphs

Yan Yang, Yichao Chen (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The thickness of a graph is the minimum number of planar spanning subgraphs into which the graph can be decomposed. It is a measurement of the closeness to the planarity of a graph, and it also has important applications to VLSI design, but it has been known for only few graphs. We obtain the thickness of vertex-amalgamation and bar-amalgamation of graphs, the lower and upper bounds for the thickness of edge-amalgamation and 2-vertex-amalgamation of graphs, respectively. We also study...

Radio Graceful Hamming Graphs

Amanda Niedzialomski (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For k ∈ ℤ+ and G a simple, connected graph, a k-radio labeling f : V (G) → ℤ+ of G requires all pairs of distinct vertices u and v to satisfy |f(u) − f(v)| ≥ k + 1 − d(u, v). We consider k-radio labelings of G when k = diam(G). In this setting, f is injective; if f is also surjective onto {1, 2, . . . , |V (G)|}, then f is a consecutive radio labeling. Graphs that can be labeled with such a labeling are called radio graceful. In this paper, we give two results on the existence of radio...

Dominating bipartite subgraphs in graphs

Gábor Bacsó, Danuta Michalak, Zsolt Tuza (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph G is hereditarily dominated by a class 𝓓 of connected graphs if each connected induced subgraph of G contains a dominating induced subgraph belonging to 𝓓. In this paper we characterize graphs hereditarily dominated by classes of complete bipartite graphs, stars, connected bipartite graphs, and complete k-partite graphs.

Note on enumeration of labeled split graphs

Vladislav Bína, Jiří Přibil (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

The paper brings explicit formula for enumeration of vertex-labeled split graphs with given number of vertices. The authors derive this formula combinatorially using an auxiliary assertion concerning number of split graphs with given clique number. In conclusion authors discuss enumeration of vertex-labeled bipartite graphs, i.e., a graphical class defined in a similar manner to the class of split graphs.
