Notes on the independence number in the Cartesian product of graphs

G. Abay-Asmerom, R. Hammack, C.E. Larson, D.T. Taylor (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Every connected graph G with radius r(G) and independence number α(G) obeys α(G) ≥ r(G). Recently the graphs for which equality holds have been classified. Here we investigate the members of this class that are Cartesian products. We show that for non-trivial graphs G and H, α(G ☐ H) = r(G ☐ H) if and only if one factor is a complete graph on two vertices, and the other is a nontrivial complete graph. We also prove a new (polynomial computable) lower bound α(G ☐ H) ≥ 2r(G)r(H)...

On the factorization of reducible properties of graphs into irreducible factors

P. Mihók, R. Vasky (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A hereditary property R of graphs is said to be reducible if there exist hereditary properties P₁,P₂ such that G ∈ R if and only if the set of vertices of G can be partitioned into V(G) = V₁∪V₂ so that ⟨V₁⟩ ∈ P₁ and ⟨V₂⟩ ∈ P₂. The problem of the factorization of reducible properties into irreducible factors is investigated.

On Generalized Sierpiński Graphs

Juan Alberto Rodríguez-Velázquez, Erick David Rodríguez-Bazan, Alejandro Estrada-Moreno (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper we obtain closed formulae for several parameters of generalized Sierpiński graphs S(G, t) in terms of parameters of the base graph G. In particular, we focus on the chromatic, vertex cover, clique and domination numbers.

Magic and supermagic dense bipartite graphs

Jaroslav Ivanco (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph is called magic (supermagic) if it admits a labelling of the edges by pairwise different (and consecutive) positive integers such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with a vertex is independent of the particular vertex. In the paper we prove that any balanced bipartite graph with minimum degree greater than |V(G)|/4 ≥ 2 is magic. A similar result is presented for supermagic regular bipartite graphs.

Supermagic Generalized Double Graphs 1

Jaroslav Ivančo (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph G is called supermagic if it admits a labelling of the edges by pairwise di erent consecutive integers such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with a vertex is independent of the particular vertex. In this paper we will introduce some constructions of supermagic labellings of some graphs generalizing double graphs. Inter alia we show that the double graphs of regular Hamiltonian graphs and some circulant graphs are supermagic.

Distinguishing graphs by the number of homomorphisms

Steve Fisk (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A homomorphism from one graph to another is a map that sends vertices to vertices and edges to edges. We denote the number of homomorphisms from G to H by |G → H|. If 𝓕 is a collection of graphs, we say that 𝓕 distinguishes graphs G and H if there is some member X of 𝓕 such that |G → X | ≠ |H → X|. 𝓕 is a distinguishing family if it distinguishes all pairs of graphs. We show that various collections of graphs are a distinguishing family.
