On the adjacent eccentric distance sum of graphs

Halina Bielak, Katarzyna Wolska (2014)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper we show bounds for the adjacent eccentric distance sum of graphs in terms of Wiener index, maximum degree and minimum degree. We extend some earlier results of Hua and Yu [Bounds for the Adjacent Eccentric Distance Sum, International Mathematical Forum, Vol. 7 (2002) no. 26, 1289–1294]. The adjacent eccentric distance sum index of the graph $G$ is defined as $ξ^{s v} (G) = \sum_{v \in V (G)} \frac{ε (v) D (v)}{d e g (v)},$ where $ε (v)$ is the eccentricity of the vertex $v$ , $d e g (v)$ is the degree of the vertex $v$ and $D (v) = \sum_{u \in V (G)} d (u, v)$ is the sum of all distances from...

The vertex detour hull number of a graph

A.P. Santhakumaran, S.V. Ullas Chandran (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For vertices x and y in a connected graph G, the detour distance D(x,y) is the length of a longest x - y path in G. An x - y path of length D(x,y) is an x - y detour. The closed detour interval ID[x,y] consists of x,y, and all vertices lying on some x -y detour of G; while for S ⊆ V(G), $I_{D} [S] = ⋃_{x, y \in S} I_{D} [x, y]$ . A set S of vertices is a detour convex set if $I_{D} [S] = S$ . The detour convex hull ${[S]}_{D}$ is the smallest detour convex set containing S. The detour hull number dh(G) is the minimum cardinality among subsets S of...

On double domination in graphs

Jochen Harant, Michael A. Henning (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In a graph G, a vertex dominates itself and its neighbors. A subset S ⊆ V(G) is a double dominating set of G if S dominates every vertex of G at least twice. The minimum cardinality of a double dominating set of G is the double domination number $γ_{\times 2} (G)$ . A function f(p) is defined, and it is shown that $γ_{\times 2} (G) = m i n f (p)$ , where the minimum is taken over the n-dimensional cube $C ⁿ = p = (p ₁, . . ., p ₙ) | p_{i} \in I R, 0 \leq p_{i} \leq 1, i = 1, . . ., n$ . Using this result, it is then shown that if G has order n with minimum degree δ and average degree d, then $γ_{\times 2} (G) \leq ((l n (1 + d) + l n δ + 1) / δ) n$ .

Turán number of two vertex-disjoint copies of cliques

Caiyun Hu (2024)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The Turán number of a given graph $H$ , denoted by $ex (n, H)$ , is the maximum number of edges in an $H$ -free graph on $n$ vertices. Applying a well-known result of Hajnal and Szemerédi, we determine the Turán number $ex (n, K_{p} \cup K_{q}$ ) of a vertex-disjoint union of cliques $K_{p}$ and $K_{q}$ for all values of $n$ .

Degree sums of adjacent vertices for traceability of claw-free graphs

Tao Tian, Liming Xiong, Zhi-Hong Chen, Shipeng Wang (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The line graph of a graph $G$ , denoted by $L (G)$ , has $E (G)$ as its vertex set, where two vertices in $L (G)$ are adjacent if and only if the corresponding edges in $G$ have a vertex in common. For a graph $H$ , define ${\bar{σ}}_{2} (H) = min {d (u) + d (v) : u v \in E (H)}$ . Let $H$ be a 2-connected claw-free simple graph of order $n$ with $δ (H) \geq 3$ . We show that, if ${\bar{σ}}_{2} (H) \geq \frac{1}{7} (2 n - 5)$ and $n$ is sufficiently large, then either $H$ is traceable or the Ryjáček’s closure $cl (H) = L (G)$ , where $G$ is an essentially $2$ -edge-connected triangle-free graph that can be contracted to one of the two graphs of order 10...

The Turán number of the graph $3 P_{4}$

Halina Bielak, Sebastian Kieliszek (2014)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

Let $e x (n, G)$ denote the maximum number of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices which does not contain $G$ as a subgraph. Let $P_{i}$ denote a path consisting of $i$ vertices and let $m P_{i}$ denote $m$ disjoint copies of $P_{i}$ . In this paper we count $e x (n, 3 P_{4})$ .

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.

Some remarks on α-domination

Franz Dahme, Dieter Rautenbach, Lutz Volkmann (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let α ∈ (0,1) and let $G = (V_{G}, E_{G}$ ) be a graph. According to Dunbar, Hoffman, Laskar and Markus [3] a set $D \subseteq V_{G}$ is called an α-dominating set of G, if $| N_{G} (u) \cap D | \geq α d_{G} (u)$ for all $u \in V_{G} ∖ D$ . We prove a series of upper bounds on the α-domination number of a graph G defined as the minimum cardinality of an α-dominating set of G.

Even factor of bridgeless graphs containing two specified edges

Nastaran Haghparast, Dariush Kiani (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

An even factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph in which each vertex has a positive even degree. Let $G$ be a bridgeless simple graph with minimum degree at least $3$ . Jackson and Yoshimoto (2007) showed that $G$ has an even factor containing two arbitrary prescribed edges. They also proved that $G$ has an even factor in which each component has order at least four. Moreover, Xiong, Lu and Han (2009) showed that for each pair of edges $e_{1}$ and $e_{2}$ of $G$ , there is an even factor containing $e_{1}$ and $e_{2}$ ...

On locating-domination in graphs

Mustapha Chellali, Malika Mimouni, Peter J. Slater (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A set D of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is a locating-dominating set (LDS) if for every two vertices u,v of V-D the sets N(u)∩ D and N(v)∩ D are non-empty and different. The locating-domination number $γ_{L} (G)$ is the minimum cardinality of a LDS of G, and the upper locating-domination number, $Γ_{L} (G)$ is the maximum cardinality of a minimal LDS of G. We present different bounds on $Γ_{L} (G)$ and $γ_{L} (G)$ .

Nonempty intersection of longest paths in a graph with a small matching number

Fuyuan Chen (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A maximum matching of a graph $G$ is a matching of $G$ with the largest number of edges. The matching number of a graph $G$ , denoted by $α^{'} (G)$ , is the number of edges in a maximum matching of $G$ . In 1966, Gallai conjectured that all the longest paths of a connected graph have a common vertex. Although this conjecture has been disproved, finding some nice classes of graphs that support this conjecture is still very meaningful and interesting. In this short note, we prove that Gallai’s conjecture...

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 $p \geq 1$ ,...
