A characterization of (γₜ,γ₂)-trees

You Lu, Xinmin Hou, Jun-Ming Xu, Ning Li (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let γₜ(G) and γ₂(G) be the total domination number and the 2-domination number of a graph G, respectively. It has been shown that: γₜ(T) ≤ γ₂(T) for any tree T. In this paper, we provide a constructive characterization of those trees with equal total domination number and 2-domination number.

Characterization of trees with equal 2-domination number and domination number plus two

Mustapha Chellali, Lutz Volkmann (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V(G),E(G)) be a simple graph, and let k be a positive integer. A subset D of V(G) is a k-dominating set if every vertex of V(G) - D is dominated at least k times by D. The k-domination number γₖ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a k-dominating set of G. In [5] Volkmann showed that for every nontrivial tree T, γ₂(T) ≥ γ₁(T)+1 and characterized extremal trees attaining this bound. In this paper we characterize all trees T with γ₂(T) = γ₁(T)+2.

Spanning tree congestion of rook's graphs

Kyohei Kozawa, Yota Otachi (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a connected graph and T be a spanning tree of G. For e ∈ E(T), the congestion of e is the number of edges in G joining the two components of T - e. The congestion of T is the maximum congestion over all edges in T. The spanning tree congestion of G is the minimum congestion over all its spanning trees. In this paper, we determine the spanning tree congestion of the rook's graph Kₘ ☐ Kₙ for any m and n.

Characterization Results for theL(2, 1, 1)-Labeling Problem on Trees

Xiaoling Zhang, Kecai Deng (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An L(2, 1, 1)-labeling of a graph G is an assignment of non-negative integers (labels) to the vertices of G such that adjacent vertices receive labels with difference at least 2, and vertices at distance 2 or 3 receive distinct labels. The span of such a labelling is the difference between the maximum and minimum labels used, and the minimum span over all L(2, 1, 1)-labelings of G is called the L(2, 1, 1)-labeling number of G, denoted by λ2,1,1(G). It was shown by King, Ras and Zhou...

On a Spanning k-Tree in which Specified Vertices Have Degree Less Than k

Hajime Matsumura (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A k-tree is a tree with maximum degree at most k. In this paper, we give a degree sum condition for a graph to have a spanning k-tree in which specified vertices have degree less than k. We denote by σk(G) the minimum value of the degree sum of k independent vertices in a graph G. Let k ≥ 3 and s ≥ 0 be integers, and suppose G is a connected graph and σk(G) ≥ |V (G)|+s−1. Then for any s specified vertices, G contains a spanning k-tree in which every specified vertex has degree less than...

Completely Independent Spanning Trees in (Partial) k-Trees

Masayoshi Matsushita, Yota Otachi, Toru Araki (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Two spanning trees T1 and T2 of a graph G are completely independent if, for any two vertices u and v, the paths from u to v in T1 and T2 are internally disjoint. For a graph G, we denote the maximum number of pairwise completely independent spanning trees by cist(G). In this paper, we consider cist(G) when G is a partial k-tree. First we show that [k/2] ≤ cist(G) ≤ k − 1 for any k-tree G. Then we show that for any p ∈ {[k/2], . . . , k − 1}, there exist infinitely many k-trees G such...

2-placement of (p,q)-trees

Beata Orchel (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (L,R;E) be a bipartite graph such that V(G) = L∪R, |L| = p and |R| = q. G is called (p,q)-tree if G is connected and |E(G)| = p+q-1. Let G = (L,R;E) and H = (L',R';E') be two (p,q)-tree. A bijection f:L ∪ R → L' ∪ R' is said to be a biplacement of G and H if f(L) = L' and f(x)f(y) ∉ E' for every edge xy of G. A biplacement of G and its copy is called 2-placement of G. A bipartite graph G is 2-placeable if G has a 2-placement. In this paper we give all (p,q)-trees...

On Unique Minimum Dominating Sets in Some Cartesian Product Graphs

Jason T. Hedetniemi (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Unique minimum vertex dominating sets in the Cartesian product of a graph with a complete graph are considered. We first give properties of such sets when they exist. We then show that when the first factor of the product is a tree, consideration of the tree alone is sufficient to determine if the product has a unique minimum dominating set.

Trees with equal 2-domination and 2-independence numbers

Mustapha Chellali, Nacéra Meddah (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A subset S of V is a 2-dominating set if every vertex of V-S is dominated at least 2 times, and S is a 2-independent set of G if every vertex of S has at most one neighbor in S. The minimum cardinality of a 2-dominating set a of G is the 2-domination number γ₂(G) and the maximum cardinality of a 2-independent set of G is the 2-independence number β₂(G). Fink and Jacobson proved that γ₂(G) ≤ β₂(G) for every graph G. In this paper we provide a constructive characterization...
