On generalized shift graphs

Christian Avart, Tomasz Łuczak, Vojtěch Rödl (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In 1968 Erdős and Hajnal introduced shift graphs as graphs whose vertices are the k-element subsets of [n] = 1,...,n (or of an infinite cardinal κ ) and with two k-sets A = a , . . . , a k and B = b , . . . , b k joined if a < a = b < a = b < < a k = b k - 1 < b k . They determined the chromatic number of these graphs. In this paper we extend this definition and study the chromatic number of graphs defined similarly for other types of mutual position with respect to the underlying ordering. As a consequence of our result, we show the existence of a graph with...

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...

Equivalent classes for K₃-gluings of wheels

Halina Bielak (1998)

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.

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 ( 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,...

On choosability of complete multipartite graphs K 4 , 3 * t , 2 * ( k - 2 t - 2 ) , 1 * ( t + 1 )

Guo-Ping Zheng, Yu-Fa Shen, Zuo-Li Chen, Jin-Feng Lv (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph G is said to be chromatic-choosable if ch(G) = χ(G). Ohba has conjectured that every graph G with 2χ(G)+1 or fewer vertices is chromatic-choosable. It is clear that Ohba’s conjecture is true if and only if it is true for complete multipartite graphs. In this paper we show that Ohba’s conjecture is true for complete multipartite graphs K 4 , 3 * t , 2 * ( k - 2 t - 2 ) , 1 * ( t + 1 ) for all integers t ≥ 1 and k ≥ 2t+2, that is, c h ( K 4 , 3 * t , 2 * ( k - 2 t - 2 ) , 1 * ( t + 1 ) ) = k , which extends the results c h ( K 4 , 3 , 2 * ( k - 4 ) , 1 * 2 ) = k given by Shen et al. (Discrete Math. 308 (2008) 136-143), and c h ( K 4 , 3 * 2 , 2 * ( k - 6 ) , 1 * 3 ) = k ...

Radio numbers for generalized prism graphs

Paul Martinez, Juan Ortiz, Maggy Tomova, Cindy Wyels (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A radio labeling is an assignment c:V(G) → N such that every distinct pair of vertices u,v satisfies the inequality d(u,v) + |c(u)-c(v)| ≥ diam(G) + 1. The span of a radio labeling is the maximum value. The radio number of G, rn(G), is the minimum span over all radio labelings of G. Generalized prism graphs, denoted Z n , s , s ≥ 1, n ≥ s, have vertex set (i,j) | i = 1,2 and j = 1,...,n and edge set ((i,j),(i,j ±1)) ∪ ((1,i),(2,i+σ)) | σ = -⌊(s-1)/2⌋...,0,...,⌊s/2⌋. In this paper we determine...

The decomposability of additive hereditary properties of graphs

Izak Broere, Michael J. Dorfling (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An additive hereditary property of graphs is a class of simple graphs which is closed under unions, subgraphs and isomorphisms. If ₁,...,ₙ are properties of graphs, then a (₁,...,ₙ)-decomposition of a graph G is a partition E₁,...,Eₙ of E(G) such that G [ E i ] , the subgraph of G induced by E i , is in i , for i = 1,...,n. We define ₁ ⊕...⊕ ₙ as the property G ∈ : G has a (₁,...,ₙ)-decomposition. A property is said to be decomposable if there exist non-trivial hereditary properties ₁ and ₂ such...

Independent cycles and paths in bipartite balanced graphs

Beata Orchel, A. Paweł Wojda (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Bipartite graphs G = (L,R;E) and H = (L’,R’;E’) are bi-placeabe if there is a bijection f:L∪R→ L’∪R’ such that f(L) = L’ and f(u)f(v) ∉ E’ for every edge uv ∈ E. We prove that if G and H are two bipartite balanced graphs of order |G| = |H| = 2p ≥ 4 such that the sizes of G and H satisfy ||G|| ≤ 2p-3 and ||H|| ≤ 2p-2, and the maximum degree of H is at most 2, then G and H are bi-placeable, unless G and H is one of easily recognizable couples of graphs. This result implies easily that...

Criteria for of the existence of uniquely partitionable graphs with respect to additive induced-hereditary properties

Izak Broere, Jozef Bucko, Peter Mihók (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let ₁,₂,...,ₙ be graph properties, a graph G is said to be uniquely (₁,₂, ...,ₙ)-partitionable if there is exactly one (unordered) partition V₁,V₂,...,Vₙ of V(G) such that G [ V i ] i for i = 1,2,...,n. We prove that for additive and induced-hereditary properties uniquely (₁,₂,...,ₙ)-partitionable graphs exist if and only if i and j are either coprime or equal irreducible properties of graphs for every i ≠ j, i,j ∈ 1,2,...,n.

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...

Remarks on D -integral complete multipartite graphs

Pavel Híc, Milan Pokorný (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph is called distance integral (or D -integral) if all eigenvalues of its distance matrix are integers. In their study of D -integral complete multipartite graphs, Yang and Wang (2015) posed two questions on the existence of such graphs. We resolve these questions and present some further results on D -integral complete multipartite graphs. We give the first known distance integral complete multipartite graphs K p 1 , p 2 , p 3 with p 1 < p 2 < p 3 , and K p 1 , p 2 , p 3 , p 4 with p 1 < p 2 < p 3 < p 4 , as well as the infinite classes of distance integral...

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 G ) = 2 γ p r ( G ) ; γ p r ( K G ) = γ p r ( G ) .

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

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.

Erica Flapan, Blake Mellor, Ramin Naimi (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that, given any n and α, any embedding of any sufficiently large complete graph in ℝ³ contains an oriented link with components Q₁, ..., Qₙ such that for every i ≠ j, | l k ( Q i , Q j ) | α and | a ( Q i ) | α , where a ( Q i ) denotes the second coefficient of the Conway polynomial of Q i .

Colouring graphs with prescribed induced cycle lengths

Bert Randerath, Ingo Schiermeyer (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper we study the chromatic number of graphs with two prescribed induced cycle lengths. It is due to Sumner that triangle-free and P₅-free or triangle-free, P₆-free and C₆-free graphs are 3-colourable. A canonical extension of these graph classes is I ( 4 , 5 ) , the class of all graphs whose induced cycle lengths are 4 or 5. Our main result states that all graphs of I ( 4 , 5 ) are 3-colourable. Moreover, we present polynomial time algorithms to 3-colour all triangle-free graphs G of this kind,...

Weakly P-saturated graphs

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Elżbieta Sidorowicz (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a hereditary property let k ( G ) denote the number of forbidden subgraphs contained in G. A graph G is said to be weakly -saturated, if G has the property and there is a sequence of edges of G̅, say e , e , . . . , e l , such that the chain of graphs G = G G 0 + e G + e . . . G l - 1 + e l = G l = K n ( G i + 1 = G i + e i + 1 ) has the following property: k ( G i + 1 ) > k ( G i ) , 0 ≤ i ≤ l-1. In this paper we shall investigate some properties of weakly saturated graphs. We will find upper bound for the minimum number of edges of weakly ₖ-saturated graphs of order n. We shall determine the number wsat(n,)...

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.
