Nearly complete graphs decomposable into large induced matchings and their applications

Noga Alon, Ankur Moitra, Benjamin Sudakov (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We describe two constructions of (very) dense graphs which are edge disjoint unions of large induced matchings. The first construction exhibits graphs on $N$ vertices with $(\frac{N}{2}) - o (N^{2})$ edges, which can be decomposed into pairwise disjoint induced matchings, each of size $N^{1 - o (1)}$ . The second construction provides a covering of all edges of the complete graph $K_{N}$ by two graphs, each being the edge disjoint union of at most $N^{2 - δ}$ induced matchings, where $δ > 0, 076$ . This disproves (in a strong form) a conjecture of Meshulam,...

Classes of hypergraphs with sum number one

Hanns-Martin Teichert (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A hypergraph ℋ is a sum hypergraph iff there are a finite S ⊆ ℕ⁺ and d̲,d̅ ∈ ℕ⁺ with 1 < d̲ < d̅ such that ℋ is isomorphic to the hypergraph $ℋ_{d ̲, d ̅} (S) = (V,)$ where V = S and $= e \subseteq S : d ̲ < | e | < d ̅ \land \sum_{v \in e} v \in S$ . For an arbitrary hypergraph ℋ the sum number(ℋ ) is defined to be the minimum number of isolatedvertices $w ₁, . . ., w_{σ} \notin V$ such that $ℋ \cup w ₁, . . ., w_{σ}$ is a sum hypergraph. For graphs it is known that cycles Cₙ and wheels Wₙ have sum numbersgreater than one. Generalizing these graphs we prove for the hypergraphs ₙ and ₙ that under a certain condition...

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; $γ_{p r} (K ₂ ☐ G) = 2 γ_{p r} (G)$ ; $γ_{p r} (K ₂ ☐ G) = γ_{p r} (G)$ .

Color-bounded hypergraphs, V: host graphs and subdivisions

Csilla Bujtás, Zsolt Tuza, Vitaly Voloshin (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A color-bounded hypergraph is a hypergraph (set system) with vertex set X and edge set = E₁,...,Eₘ, together with integers $s_{i}$ and $t_{i}$ satisfying $1 \leq s_{i} \leq t_{i} \leq | E_{i} |$ for each i = 1,...,m. A vertex coloring φ is proper if for every i, the number of colors occurring in edge $E_{i}$ satisfies $s_{i} \leq | φ (E_{i}) | \leq t_{i}$ . The hypergraph ℋ is colorable if it admits at least one proper coloring. We consider hypergraphs ℋ over a “host graph”, that means a graph G on the same vertex set X as ℋ, such that each $E_{i}$ induces a connected subgraph in 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 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...

Lower bounds on signed edge total domination numbers in graphs

H. Karami, S. M. Sheikholeslami, Abdollah Khodkar (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The open neighborhood $N_{G} (e)$ of an edge $e$ in a graph $G$ is the set consisting of all edges having a common end-vertex with $e$ . Let $f$ be a function on $E (G)$ , the edge set of $G$ , into the set ${- 1, 1}$ . If $\sum_{x \in N_{G} (e)} f (x) \geq 1$ for each $e \in E (G)$ , then $f$ is called a signed edge total dominating function of $G$ . The minimum of the values $\sum_{e \in E (G)} f (e)$ , taken over all signed edge total dominating function $f$ of $G$ , is called the signed edge total domination number of $G$ and is denoted by $γ_{s t}^{'} (G)$ . Obviously, $γ_{s t}^{'} (G)$ is defined only for graphs $G$ which have no connected...

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper, the chromaticity of K₃-gluings of two wheels is studied. For each even integer n ≥ 6 and each odd integer 3 ≤ q ≤ [n/2] all K₃-gluings of wheels $W_{q + 2}$ and $W_{n - q + 2}$ create an χ-equivalent class.

Generalized connectivity of some total graphs

Yinkui Li, Yaping Mao, Zhao Wang, Zongtian Wei (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We study the generalized $k$ -connectivity $κ_{k} (G)$ as introduced by Hager in 1985, as well as the more recently introduced generalized $k$ -edge-connectivity $λ_{k} (G)$ . We determine the exact value of $κ_{k} (G)$ and $λ_{k} (G)$ for the line graphs and total graphs of trees, unicyclic graphs, and also for complete graphs for the case $k = 3$ .

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We prove: (1) that $c h_{P} (G) - χ_{P} (G)$ can be arbitrarily large, where $c h_{P} (G)$ and $χ_{P} (G)$ are P-choice and P-chromatic numbers, respectively, (2) the (P,L)-colouring version of Brooks’ and Gallai’s theorems.

On the total k-domination number of graphs

Adel P. Kazemi (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let k be a positive integer and let G = (V,E) be a simple graph. The k-tuple domination number $γ_{\times k} (G)$ of G is the minimum cardinality of a k-tuple dominating set S, a set that for every vertex v ∈ V, $| N_{G} [v] \cap S | \geq k$ . Also the total k-domination number $γ_{\times k, t} (G)$ of G is the minimum cardinality of a total k -dominating set S, a set that for every vertex v ∈ V, $| N_{G} (v) \cap S | \geq k$ . The k-transversal number τₖ(H) of a hypergraph H is the minimum size of a subset S ⊆ V(H) such that |S ∩e | ≥ k for every edge e ∈ E(H). We know that for...

Edge-sum distinguishing labeling

Jan Bok, Nikola Jedličková (2021)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We study edge-sum distinguishing labeling, a type of labeling recently introduced by Z. Tuza (2017) in context of labeling games. An ESD labeling of an $n$ -vertex graph $G$ is an injective mapping of integers $1$ to $l$ to its vertices such that for every edge, the sum of the integers on its endpoints is unique. If $l$ equals to $n$ , we speak about a canonical ESD labeling. We focus primarily on structural properties of this labeling and show for several classes of graphs if they have or do not...

Persistency in the Traveling Salesman Problem on Halin graphs

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.

The sum number of d-partite complete hypergraphs

Hanns-Martin Teichert (1999)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A d-uniform hypergraph is a sum hypergraph iff there is a finite S ⊆ IN⁺ such that is isomorphic to the hypergraph $⁺_{d} (S) = (V,)$ , where V = S and $= v ₁, . . ., v_{d} : (i \neq j \Rightarrow v_{i} \neq v_{j}) \land \sum_{i = 1}^{d} v_{i} \in S$ . For an arbitrary d-uniform hypergraph the sum number σ = σ() is defined to be the minimum number of isolated vertices $w ₁, . . ., w_{σ} \notin V$ such that $\cup w ₁, . . ., w_{σ}$ is a sum hypergraph. In this paper, we prove $σ (_{n ₁, . . ., n_{d}}^{d}) = 1 + \sum_{i = 1}^{d} (n_{i} - 1) + m i n 0, ⌈ 1 / 2 (\sum_{i = 1}^{d - 1} (n_{i} - 1) - n_{d}) ⌉$ , where $_{n ₁, . . ., n_{d}}^{d}$ denotes the d-partite complete hypergraph; this generalizes the corresponding result of Hartsfield and Smyth [8] for complete bipartite graphs.

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Anna Fiedorowicz, Mariusz Hałuszczak (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a given graph G and a sequence ₁, ₂,..., ₙ of additive hereditary classes of graphs we define an acyclic (₁, ₂,...,Pₙ)-colouring of G as a partition (V₁, V₂,...,Vₙ) of the set V(G) of vertices which satisfies the following two conditions: 1. $G [V_{i}] \in_{i}$ for i = 1,...,n, 2. for every pair i,j of distinct colours the subgraph induced in G by the set of edges uv such that $u \in V_{i}$ and $v \in V_{j}$ is acyclic. A class R = ₁ ⊙ ₂ ⊙ ... ⊙ ₙ is defined as the set of the graphs having an acyclic (₁, ₂,...,Pₙ)-colouring....

Maximal k-independent sets in graphs

Mostafa Blidia, Mustapha Chellali, Odile Favaron, Nacéra Meddah (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A subset of vertices of a graph G is k-independent if it induces in G a subgraph of maximum degree less than k. The minimum and maximum cardinalities of a maximal k-independent set are respectively denoted iₖ(G) and βₖ(G). We give some relations between βₖ(G) and $β_{j} (G)$ and between iₖ(G) and $i_{j} (G)$ for j ≠ k. We study two families of extremal graphs for the inequality i₂(G) ≤ i(G) + β(G). Finally we give an upper bound on i₂(G) and a lower bound when G is a cactus.

Upper oriented chromatic number of undirected graphs and oriented colorings of product graphs

Éric Sopena (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The oriented chromatic number of an oriented graph $^{\to} G$ is the minimum order of an oriented graph $^{\to} H$ such that $^{\to} G$ admits a homomorphism to $^{\to} H$ . The oriented chromatic number of an undirected graph G is then the greatest oriented chromatic number of its orientations. In this paper, we introduce the new notion of the upper oriented chromatic number of an undirected graph G, defined as the minimum order of an oriented graph $^{\to} U$ such that every orientation $^{\to} G$ of G admits a homomorphism to $^{\to} U$ . We give...
