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.

On 𝓕-independence in graphs

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.

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 $γ_{L} (G)$ .

On the total k-domination number of graphs

Adel P. Kazemi (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

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...

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...

A note on the independent domination number versus the domination number in bipartite graphs

Shaohui Wang, Bing Wei (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $γ (G)$ and $i (G)$ be the domination number and the independent domination number of $G$ , respectively. Rad and Volkmann posted a conjecture that $i (G) / γ (G) \leq Δ (G) / 2$ for any graph $G$ , where $Δ (G)$ is its maximum degree (see N. J. Rad, L. Volkmann (2013)). In this work, we verify the conjecture for bipartite graphs. Several graph classes attaining the extremal bound and graphs containing odd cycles with the ratio larger than $Δ (G) / 2$ are provided as well.

Characterization by intersection graph of some families of finite nonsimple groups

Hossein Shahsavari, Behrooz Khosravi (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For a finite group $G$ , $Γ (G)$ , the intersection graph of $G$ , is a simple graph whose vertices are all nontrivial proper subgroups of $G$ and two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent when $H \cap K \neq 1$ . In this paper, we classify all finite nonsimple groups whose intersection graphs have a leaf and also we discuss the characterizability of them using their intersection graphs.

On the diameter of the intersection graph of a finite simple group

Xuanlong Ma (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a finite group. The intersection graph $Δ_{G}$ of $G$ is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper nontrivial subgroups of $G$ , and two distinct vertices $X$ and $Y$ are adjacent if $X \cap Y \neq 1$ , where $1$ denotes the trivial subgroup of order $1$ . A question was posed by Shen (2010) whether the diameters of intersection graphs of finite non-abelian simple groups have an upper bound. We answer the question and show that the diameters...

On the signless Laplacian and normalized signless Laplacian spreads of graphs

Emina Milovanović, Serife B. Bozkurt Altindağ, Marjan Matejić, Igor Milovanović (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G = (V, E)$ , $V = {v_{1}, v_{2}, ..., v_{n}}$ , be a simple connected graph with $n$ vertices, $m$ edges and a sequence of vertex degrees $d_{1} \geq d_{2} \geq \dots \geq d_{n}$ . Denote by $A$ and $D$ the adjacency matrix and diagonal vertex degree matrix of $G$ , respectively. The signless Laplacian of $G$ is defined as $L^{+} = D + A$ and the normalized signless Laplacian matrix as $ℒ^{+} = D^{- 1 / 2} L^{+} D^{- 1 / 2}$ . The normalized signless Laplacian spreads of a connected nonbipartite graph $G$ are defined as $r (G) = γ_{2}^{+} / γ_{n}^{+}$ and $l (G) = γ_{2}^{+} - γ_{n}^{+}$ , where $γ_{1}^{+} \geq γ_{2}^{+} \geq \dots \geq γ_{n}^{+} \geq 0$ are eigenvalues of $ℒ^{+}$ . We establish sharp lower and upper bounds for the normalized signless...

Proper connection number of bipartite graphs

Jun Yue, Meiqin Wei, Yan Zhao (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

An edge-colored graph $G$ is proper connected if every pair of vertices is connected by a proper path. The proper connection number of a connected graph $G$ , denoted by $pc (G)$ , is the smallest number of colors that are needed to color the edges of $G$ in order to make it proper connected. In this paper, we obtain the sharp upper bound for $pc (G)$ of a general bipartite graph $G$ and a series of extremal graphs. Additionally, we give a proper $2$ -coloring for a connected bipartite graph $G$ having $δ (G) \geq 2$ and a dominating...

On the multiplicity of Laplacian eigenvalues for unicyclic graphs

Fei Wen, Qiongxiang Huang (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and $U$ a unicyclic graph with the same order. We firstly give a sharp bound for $m_{G} (μ)$ , the multiplicity of a Laplacian eigenvalue $μ$ of $G$ . As a straightforward result, $m_{U} (1) \leq n - 2$ . We then provide two graph operations (i.e., grafting and shifting) on graph $G$ for which the value of $m_{G} (1)$ is nondecreasing. As applications, we get the distribution of $m_{U} (1)$ for unicyclic graphs on $n$ vertices. Moreover, for the two largest possible values of $m_{U} (1) \in {n - 5, n - 3}$ , the corresponding graphs $U$ are...

Roman bondage in graphs

Nader Jafari Rad, Lutz Volkmann (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A Roman dominating function on a graph G is a function f:V(G) → 0,1,2 satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value $f (V (G)) = \sum_{u \in V (G)} f (u)$ . The Roman domination number, $γ_{R} (G)$ , of G is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G. In this paper, we define the Roman bondage $b_{R} (G)$ of a graph G with maximum degree at least two to be the minimum cardinality of all sets E’ ⊆ E(G)...

On the intersection graph of a finite group

Hossein Shahsavari, Behrooz Khosravi (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For a finite group $G$ , the intersection graph of $G$ which is denoted by $Γ (G)$ is an undirected graph such that its vertices are all nontrivial proper subgroups of $G$ and two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent when $H \cap K \neq 1$ . In this paper we classify all finite groups whose intersection graphs are regular. Also, we find some results on the intersection graphs of simple groups and finally we study the structure of $Aut (Γ (G))$ .

On the domination of triangulated discs

Noor A&amp;#039;lawiah Abd Aziz, Nader Jafari Rad, Hailiza Kamarulhaili (2023)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a $3$ -connected triangulated disc of order $n$ with the boundary cycle $C$ of the outer face of $G$ . Tokunaga (2013) conjectured that $G$ has a dominating set of cardinality at most $\frac{1}{4} (n + 2)$ . This conjecture is proved in Tokunaga (2020) for $G - C$ being a tree. In this paper we prove the above conjecture for $G - C$ being a unicyclic graph. We also deduce some bounds for the double domination number, total domination number and double total domination number in triangulated discs.

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...
