Clique irreducibility of some iterative classes of graphs

Aparna Lakshmanan S., A. Vijayakumar (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper, two notions, the clique irreducibility and clique vertex irreducibility are discussed. A graph G is clique irreducible if every clique in G of size at least two, has an edge which does not lie in any other clique of G and it is clique vertex irreducible if every clique in G has a vertex which does not lie in any other clique of G. It is proved that L(G) is clique irreducible if and only if every triangle in G has a vertex of degree two. The conditions for the iterations...

On generating sets of induced-hereditary properties

Gabriel Semanišin (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A natural generalization of the fundamental graph vertex-colouring problem leads to the class of problems known as generalized or improper colourings. These problems can be very well described in the language of reducible (induced) hereditary properties of graphs. It turned out that a very useful tool for the unique determination of these properties are generating sets. In this paper we focus on the structure of specific generating sets which provide the base for the proof of The Unique...

A survey of hereditary properties of graphs

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Izak Broere, Marietjie Frick, Peter Mihók, Gabriel Semanišin (1997)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper we survey results and open problems on the structure of additive and hereditary properties of graphs. The important role of vertex partition problems, in particular the existence of uniquely partitionable graphs and reducible properties of graphs in this structure is emphasized. Many related topics, including questions on the complexity of related problems, are investigated.

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)...

Dominant-matching graphs

Igor' E. Zverovich, Olga I. Zverovich (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We introduce a new hereditary class of graphs, the dominant-matching graphs, and we characterize it in terms of forbidden induced subgraphs.

Unique factorization theorem

Peter Mihók (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A property of graphs is any class of graphs closed under isomorphism. A property of graphs is induced-hereditary and additive if it is closed under taking induced subgraphs and disjoint unions of graphs, respectively. Let ₁,₂, ...,ₙ be properties of graphs. A graph G is (₁,₂,...,ₙ)-partitionable (G has property ₁ º₂ º... ºₙ) if the vertex set V(G) of G can be partitioned into n sets V₁,V₂,..., Vₙ such that the subgraph G [ V i ] of G induced by Vi belongs to i ; i = 1,2,...,n. A property is said...

Factorizations of properties of graphs

Izak Broere, Samuel John Teboho Moagi, Peter Mihók, Roman Vasky (1999)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A property of graphs is any isomorphism closed class of simple graphs. For given properties of graphs ₁,₂,...,ₙ a vertex (₁, ₂, ...,ₙ)-partition of a graph G is a partition V₁,V₂,...,Vₙ of V(G) such that for each i = 1,2,...,n the induced subgraph G [ V i ] has property i . The class of all graphs having a vertex (₁, ₂, ...,ₙ)-partition is denoted by ₁∘₂∘...∘ₙ. A property is said to be reducible with respect to a lattice of properties of graphs if there are n ≥ 2 properties ₁,₂,...,ₙ ∈ such that...

On partitions of hereditary properties of graphs

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Anna Fiedorowicz (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper a concept 𝓠-Ramsey Class of graphs is introduced, where 𝓠 is a class of bipartite graphs. It is a generalization of well-known concept of Ramsey Class of graphs. Some 𝓠-Ramsey Classes of graphs are presented (Theorem 1 and 2). We proved that 𝓣₂, the class of all outerplanar graphs, is not 𝓓₁-Ramsey Class (Theorem 3). This results leads us to the concept of acyclic reducible bounds for a hereditary property 𝓟 . For 𝓣₂ we found two bounds (Theorem 4). An improvement,...

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.

Generalized domination, independence and irredudance in graphs

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The purpose of this paper is to present some basic properties of 𝓟-dominating, 𝓟-independent, and 𝓟-irredundant sets in graphs which generalize well-known properties of dominating, independent and irredundant sets, respectively.

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.

𝓟-bipartitions of minor hereditary properties

Piotr Borowiecki, Jaroslav Ivančo (1997)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We prove that for any two minor hereditary properties 𝓟₁ and 𝓟₂, such that 𝓟₂ covers 𝓟₁, and for any graph G ∈ 𝓟₂ there is a 𝓟₁-bipartition of G. Some remarks on minimal reducible bounds are also included.

A characterization of complete tripartite degree-magic graphs

Ľudmila Bezegová, Jaroslav Ivančo (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph is called degree-magic if it admits a labelling of the edges by integers 1, 2,..., |E(G)| such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with any vertex v is equal to (1+ |E(G)|)/2*deg(v). Degree-magic graphs extend supermagic regular graphs. In this paper we characterize complete tripartite degree-magic graphs.
