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....

On subgraphs without large components

Glenn G. Chappell, John Gimbel (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We consider, for a positive integer $k$ , induced subgraphs in which each component has order at most $k$ . Such a subgraph is said to be $k$ -divided. We show that finding large induced subgraphs with this property is NP-complete. We also consider a related graph-coloring problem: how many colors are required in a vertex coloring in which each color class induces a $k$ -divided subgraph. We show that the problem of determining whether some given number of colors suffice is NP-complete, even for...

Two variants of the size Ramsey number

Andrzej Kurek, Andrzej Ruciński (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given a graph H and an integer r ≥ 2, let G → (H,r) denote the Ramsey property of a graph G, that is, every r-coloring of the edges of G results in a monochromatic copy of H. Further, let $m (G) = m a x_{F \subseteq G} | E (F) | / | V (F) |$ and define the Ramsey density $m_{i n f} (H, r)$ as the infimum of m(G) over all graphs G such that G → (H,r). In the first part of this paper we show that when H is a complete graph Kₖ on k vertices, then $m_{i n f} (H, r) = (R - 1) / 2$ , where R = R(k;r) is the classical Ramsey number. As a corollary we derive a new proof of the result credited...

Graph colorings with local constraints - a survey

Zsolt Tuza (1997)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We survey the literature on those variants of the chromatic number problem where not only a proper coloring has to be found (i.e., adjacent vertices must not receive the same color) but some further local restrictions are imposed on the color assignment. Mostly, the list colorings and the precoloring extensions are considered. In one of the most general formulations, a graph G = (V,E), sets L(v) of admissible colors, and natural numbers $c_{v}$ for the vertices v ∈ V are given, and the question...

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...

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A hypergraph is a sum hypergraph iff there are a finite S ⊆ IN⁺ and d̲, [d̅] ∈ IN⁺ with 1 < d̲ ≤ [d̅] such that is isomorphic to the hypergraph $_{d ̲, [d ̅]} (S) = (V,)$ where V = S and $= e \subseteq S : d ̲ \leq | e | \leq [d ̅] \land \sum_{v \in e} v \in S$ . For an arbitrary hypergraph the sum number σ = σ() is defined to be the minimum number of isolated vertices $y ₁, . . ., y_{σ} \notin V$ such that $\cup y ₁, . . ., y_{σ}$ is a sum hypergraph. Generalizing the graph Cₙ we obtain d-uniform hypergraphs where any d consecutive vertices of Cₙ form an edge. We determine sum numbers and investigate properties of sum labellings...

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...

Classes of hypergraphs with sum number one

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...

The k-rainbow domatic number of a graph

Seyyed Mahmoud Sheikholeslami, Lutz Volkmann (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a positive integer k, a k-rainbow dominating function of a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V(G) to the set of all subsets of the set 1,2, ...,k such that for any vertex v ∈ V(G) with f(v) = ∅ the condition ⋃u ∈ N(v)f(u) = 1,2, ...,k is fulfilled, where N(v) is the neighborhood of v. The 1-rainbow domination is the same as the ordinary domination. A set $f ₁, f ₂, . . ., f_{d}$ of k-rainbow dominating functions on G with the property that $\sum_{i = 1}^{d} | f_{i} (v) | \leq k$ for each v ∈ V(G), is called a k-rainbow dominating...

On the order of certain close to regular graphs without a matching of given size

Sabine Klinkenberg, Lutz Volkmann (2007)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph $G$ is a ${d, d + k}$ -graph, if one vertex has degree $d + k$ and the remaining vertices of $G$ have degree $d$ . In the special case of $k = 0$ , the graph $G$ is $d$ -regular. Let $k, p \geq 0$ and $d, n \geq 1$ be integers such that $n$ and $p$ are of the same parity. If $G$ is a connected ${d, d + k}$ -graph of order $n$ without a matching $M$ of size $2 | M | = n - p$ , then we show in this paper the following: If $d = 2$ , then $k \geq 2 (p + 2)$ and (i) $n \geq k + p + 6$ . If $d \geq 3$ is odd and $t$ an integer with $1 \leq t \leq p + 2$ , then (ii) $n \geq d + k + 1$ for $k \geq d (p + 2)$ , (iii) $n \geq d (p + 3) + 2 t + 1$ for $d (p + 2 - t) + t \leq k \leq d (p + 3 - t) + t - 3$ , (iv) $n \geq d (p + 3) + 2 p + 7$ for $k \leq p$ . If $d \geq 4$ is even, then (v) $n \geq d + k + 2 - η$ for $k \geq d (p + 3) + p + 4 + η$ , (vi) $n \geq d + k + p + 2 - 2 t = d (p + 4) + p + 6$ for $k = d (p + 3) + 4 + 2 t$ and $p \geq 1$ ,...

3-consecutive c-colorings of graphs

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A 3-consecutive C-coloring of a graph G = (V,E) is a mapping φ:V → ℕ such that every path on three vertices has at most two colors. We prove general estimates on the maximum number ${(χ ̅)}_{3 C C} (G)$ of colors in a 3-consecutive C-coloring of G, and characterize the structure of connected graphs with ${(χ ̅)}_{3 C C} (G) \geq k$ for k = 3 and k = 4.

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.

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.

Domination Subdivision Numbers

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A set S of vertices of a graph G = (V,E) is a dominating set if every vertex of V-S is adjacent to some vertex in S. The domination number γ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G, and the domination subdivision number $s d_{γ} (G)$ is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the domination number. Arumugam conjectured that $1 \leq s d_{γ} (G) \leq 3$ for any graph G. We give a counterexample to this conjecture. On the other hand,...

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...

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A k-ranking of a graph G is a colouring φ:V(G) → 1,...,k such that any path in G with endvertices x,y fulfilling φ(x) = φ(y) contains an internal vertex z with φ(z) > φ(x). On-line ranking number $χ *_{r} (G)$ of a graph G is a minimum k such that G has a k-ranking constructed step by step if vertices of G are coming and coloured one by one in an arbitrary order; when colouring a vertex, only edges between already present vertices are known. Schiermeyer, Tuza and Voigt proved that $χ *_{r} (P ₙ) < 3 l o g ₂ n$ for n ≥ 2....

A characterization of locating-total domination edge critical graphs

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a graph G = (V,E) without isolated vertices, a subset D of vertices of V is a total dominating set (TDS) of G if every vertex in V is adjacent to a vertex in D. The total domination number γₜ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a TDS of G. A subset D of V which is a total dominating set, is a locating-total dominating set, or just a LTDS of G, if for any two distinct vertices u and v of V(G)∖D, $N_{G} (u) \cap D \neq N_{G} (v) \cap D$ . The locating-total domination number $γ_{L}^{t} (G)$ is the minimum cardinality of a locating-total...

Let S = (a₁, a₂, ...) be an infinite nondecreasing sequence of positive integers. An S-packing k-coloring of a graph G is a mapping from V(G) to 1,2,...,k such that vertices with color i have pairwise distance greater than $a_{i}$ , and the S-packing chromatic number $χ_{S} (G)$ of G is the smallest integer k such that G has an S-packing k-coloring. This concept generalizes the concept of proper coloring (when S = (1,1,1,...)) and broadcast coloring (when S = (1,2,3,4,...)). In this paper, we consider...
