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.

Iterated neighborhood graphs

Martin Sonntag, Hanns-Martin Teichert (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The neighborhood graph N(G) of a simple undirected graph G = (V,E) is the graph $(V, E_{N})$ where $E_{N}$ = a,b | a ≠ b, x,a ∈ E and x,b ∈ E for some x ∈ V. It is well-known that the neighborhood graph N(G) is connected if and only if the graph G is connected and non-bipartite. We present some results concerning the k-iterated neighborhood graph $N^{k} (G) : = N (N (. . . N (G)))$ of G. In particular we investigate conditions for G and k such that $N^{k} (G)$ becomes a complete graph.

Algebraic connectivity of $k$ -connected graphs

Stephen J. Kirkland, Israel Rocha, Vilmar Trevisan (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a $k$ -connected graph with $k \geq 2$ . A hinge is a subset of $k$ vertices whose deletion from $G$ yields a disconnected graph. We consider the algebraic connectivity and Fiedler vectors of such graphs, paying special attention to the signs of the entries in Fiedler vectors corresponding to vertices in a hinge, and to vertices in the connected components at a hinge. The results extend those in Fiedler’s papers Algebraic connectivity of graphs (1973), A property of eigenvectors of nonnegative...

The spectral determinations of the connected multicone graphs $K_{w} ▽ m P_{17}$ and $K_{w} ▽ m S$

Ali Zeydi Abdian, S. Morteza Mirafzal (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Finding and discovering any class of graphs which are determined by their spectra is always an important and interesting problem in the spectral graph theory. The main aim of this study is to characterize two classes of multicone graphs which are determined by both their adjacency and Laplacian spectra. A multicone graph is defined to be the join of a clique and a regular graph. Let $K_{w}$ denote a complete graph on $w$ vertices, and let $m$ be a positive integer number. In A. Z. Abdian (2016)...

Unicyclic graphs with bicyclic inverses

Swarup Kumar Panda (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph is nonsingular if its adjacency matrix $A (G)$ is nonsingular. The inverse of a nonsingular graph $G$ is a graph whose adjacency matrix is similar to $A {(G)}^{- 1}$ via a particular type of similarity. Let $ℋ$ denote the class of connected bipartite graphs with unique perfect matchings. Tifenbach and Kirkland (2009) characterized the unicyclic graphs in $ℋ$ which possess unicyclic inverses. We present a characterization of unicyclic graphs in $ℋ$ which possess bicyclic inverses.

The extremal irregularity of connected graphs with given number of pendant vertices

Xiaoqian Liu, Xiaodan Chen, Junli Hu, Qiuyun Zhu (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The irregularity of a graph $G = (V, E)$ is defined as the sum of imbalances $| d_{u} - d_{v} |$ over all edges $u v \in E$ , where $d_{u}$ denotes the degree of the vertex $u$ in $G$ . This graph invariant, introduced by Albertson in 1997, is a measure of the defect of regularity of a graph. In this paper, we completely determine the extremal values of the irregularity of connected graphs with $n$ vertices and $p$ pendant vertices ( $1 \leq p \leq n - 1$ ), and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs.

4-cycle properties for characterizing rectagraphs and hypercubes

Khadra Bouanane, Abdelhafid Berrachedi (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A $(0, 2)$ -graph is a connected graph, where each pair of vertices has either 0 or 2 common neighbours. These graphs constitute a subclass of $(0, λ)$ -graphs introduced by Mulder in 1979. A rectagraph, well known in diagram geometry, is a triangle-free $(0, 2)$ -graph. $(0, 2)$ -graphs include hypercubes, folded cube graphs and some particular graphs such as icosahedral graph, Shrikhande graph, Klein graph, Gewirtz graph, etc. In this paper, we give some local properties of 4-cycles in $(0, λ)$ -graphs and more specifically...

A note on periodicity of the 2-distance operator

Bohdan Zelinka (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The paper solves one problem by E. Prisner concerning the 2-distance operator T₂. This is an operator on the class $C_{f}$ of all finite undirected graphs. If G is a graph from $C_{f}$ , then T₂(G) is the graph with the same vertex set as G in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance in G is 2. E. Prisner asks whether the periodicity ≥ 3 is possible for T₂. In this paper an affirmative answer is given. A result concerning the periodicity 2 is added.

Remarks on partially square graphs, hamiltonicity and circumference

Hamamache Kheddouci (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given a graph G, its partially square graph G* is a graph obtained by adding an edge (u,v) for each pair u, v of vertices of G at distance 2 whenever the vertices u and v have a common neighbor x satisfying the condition $N_{G} (x) \subseteq N_{G} [u] \cup N_{G} [v]$ , where $N_{G} [x] = N_{G} (x) \cup x$ . In the case where G is a claw-free graph, G* is equal to G². We define $σ ° ₜ = m i n \sum_{x \in S} d_{G} (x) : S i s a n i n d e p e n d e n t s e t i n G * a n d | S | = t$ . We give for hamiltonicity and circumference new sufficient conditions depending on σ° and we improve some known results.
