On a family of cubic graphs containing the flower snarks

Jean-Luc Fouquet, Henri Thuillier, Jean-Marie Vanherpe (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We consider cubic graphs formed with k ≥ 2 disjoint claws $C_{i} K_{1, 3}$ (0 ≤ i ≤ k-1) such that for every integer i modulo k the three vertices of degree 1 of $C_{i}$ are joined to the three vertices of degree 1 of $C_{i - 1}$ and joined to the three vertices of degree 1 of $C_{i + 1}$ . Denote by $t_{i}$ the vertex of degree 3 of $C_{i}$ and by T the set $t ₁, t ₂, . . ., t_{k - 1}$ . In such a way we construct three distinct graphs, namely FS(1,k), FS(2,k) and FS(3,k). The graph FS(j,k) (j ∈ 1,2,3) is the graph where the set of vertices $⋃_{i = 0}^{i = k - 1} V (C_{i}) ∖ T$ induce j cycles (note...

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 $p \geq 1$ ,...

Some Parity Statistics in Integer Partitions

Aubrey Blecher, Toufik Mansour, Augustine O. Munagi (2015)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Similarity:

We study integer partitions with respect to the classical word statistics of levels and descents subject to prescribed parity conditions. For instance, a partition with summands $λ ₁ \geq \dots \geq λ_{k}$ may be enumerated according to descents $λ_{i} > λ_{i + 1}$ while tracking the individual parities of $λ_{i}$ and $λ_{i + 1}$ . There are two types of parity levels, E = E and O = O, and four types of parity-descents, E > E, E > O, O > E and O > O, where E and O represent arbitrary even and odd summands. We obtain functional equations...

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...

Some results on semi-total signed graphs

Deepa Sinha, Pravin Garg (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A signed graph (or sigraph in short) is an ordered pair $S = (S^{u}, σ)$ , where $S^{u}$ is a graph G = (V,E), called the underlying graph of S and σ:E → +, - is a function from the edge set E of $S^{u}$ into the set +,-, called the signature of S. The ×-line sigraph of S denoted by $L_{\times} (S)$ is a sigraph defined on the line graph $L (S^{u})$ of the graph $S^{u}$ by assigning to each edge ef of $L (S^{u})$ , the product of signs of the adjacent edges e and f in S. In this paper, first we define semi-total line sigraph and semi-total point sigraph...

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; $γ_{p r} (K ₂ ☐ G) = 2 γ_{p r} (G)$ ; $γ_{p r} (K ₂ ☐ G) = γ_{p r} (G)$ .

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...

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.

Hamiltonicity of cubic Cayley graphs

Henry Glover, Dragan Marušič (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Following a problem posed by Lovász in 1969, it is believed that every finite connected vertex-transitive graph has a Hamilton path. This is shown here to be true for cubic Cayley graphs arising from finite groups having a $(2, s, 3)$ -presentation, that is, for groups $G = 〈 a, b ∣ a^{2} = 1, b^{s} = 1, {(a b)}^{3} = 1, \dots 〉$ generated by an involution $a$ and an element $b$ of order $s \geq 3$ such that their product $a b$ has order $3$ . More precisely, it is shown that the Cayley graph $X = Cay (G, {a, b, b^{- 1}})$ has a Hamilton cycle when $| G |$ (and thus $s$ ) is congruent to 2 modulo 4, and has a...

Upper oriented chromatic number of undirected graphs and oriented colorings of product graphs

Éric Sopena (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The oriented chromatic number of an oriented graph $^{\to} G$ is the minimum order of an oriented graph $^{\to} H$ such that $^{\to} G$ admits a homomorphism to $^{\to} H$ . The oriented chromatic number of an undirected graph G is then the greatest oriented chromatic number of its orientations. In this paper, we introduce the new notion of the upper oriented chromatic number of an undirected graph G, defined as the minimum order of an oriented graph $^{\to} U$ such that every orientation $^{\to} G$ of G admits a homomorphism to $^{\to} U$ . We give...

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...

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 $(\frac{N}{2}) - o (N^{2})$ 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,...

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) on Halin graphs with three types of cost functions: sum, bottleneck and balanced and with arbitrary real edge costs we compute in polynomial time the persistency partition $E_{A l l}$ , $E_{S o m e}$ , $E_{N o n e}$ of the edge set E, where: $E_{A l l}$ = e ∈ E, e belongs to all optimum solutions, $E_{N o n e}$ = e ∈ E, e does not belong to any optimum solution and $E_{S o m e}$ = e ∈ E, e belongs to some but not to all optimum solutions.

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...

Intersection graph of gamma sets in the total graph

T. Tamizh Chelvam, T. Asir (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper, we consider the intersection graph $I_{Γ} (ℤ ₙ)$ of gamma sets in the total graph on ℤₙ. We characterize the values of n for which $I_{Γ} (ℤ ₙ)$ is complete, bipartite, cycle, chordal and planar. Further, we prove that $I_{Γ} (ℤ ₙ)$ is an Eulerian, Hamiltonian and as well as a pancyclic graph. Also we obtain the value of the independent number, the clique number, the chromatic number, the connectivity and some domination parameters of $I_{Γ} (ℤ ₙ)$ .

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...

The Wiener number of powers of the Mycielskian

Rangaswami Balakrishnan, S. Francis Raj (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The Wiener number of a graph G is defined as $1 / 2 \sum_{u, v \in V (G)} d (u, v)$ , d the distance function on G. The Wiener number has important applications in chemistry. We determine a formula for the Wiener number of an important graph family, namely, the Mycielskians μ(G) of graphs G. Using this, we show that for k ≥ 1, $W (μ (S ₙ^{k})) \leq W (μ (T ₙ^{k})) \leq W (μ (P ₙ^{k}))$ , where Sₙ, Tₙ and Pₙ denote a star, a general tree and a path on n vertices respectively. We also obtain Nordhaus-Gaddum type inequality for the Wiener number of $μ (G^{k})$ .
