On well-covered graphs of odd girth 7 or greater

Bert Randerath, Preben Dahl Vestergaard (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A maximum independent set of vertices in a graph is a set of pairwise nonadjacent vertices of largest cardinality α. Plummer [14] defined a graph to be well-covered, if every independent set is contained in a maximum independent set of G. One of the most challenging problems in this area, posed in the survey of Plummer [15], is to find a good characterization of well-covered graphs of girth 4. We examine several subclasses of well-covered graphs of girth ≥ 4 with respect to the odd girth...

On integral sum graphs with a saturated vertex

Zhibo Chen (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

As introduced by F. Harary in 1994, a graph G is said to be an i n t e g r a l s u m g r a p h if its vertices can be given a labeling f with distinct integers so that for any two distinct vertices u and v of G , u v is an edge of G if and only if f ( u ) + f ( v ) = f ( w ) for some vertex w in G . We prove that every integral sum graph with a saturated vertex, except the complete graph K 3 , has edge-chromatic number equal to its maximum degree. (A vertex of a graph G is said to be if it is adjacent to every...

Minus total domination in graphs

Hua Ming Xing, Hai-Long Liu (2009)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A three-valued function f V { - 1 , 0 , 1 } defined on the vertices of a graph G = ( V , E ) is a minus total dominating function (MTDF) if the sum of its function values over any open neighborhood is at least one. That is, for every v V , f ( N ( v ) ) 1 , where N ( v ) consists of every vertex adjacent to v . The weight of an MTDF is f ( V ) = f ( v ) , over all vertices v V . The minus total domination number of a graph G , denoted γ t - ( G ) , equals the minimum weight of an MTDF of G . In this paper, we discuss some properties of minus total domination on a graph...

Restrained domination in unicyclic graphs

Johannes H. Hattingh, Ernst J. Joubert, Marc Loizeaux, Andrew R. Plummer, Lucas van der Merwe (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A set S ⊆ V is a restrained dominating set if every vertex in V-S is adjacent to a vertex in S and to a vertex in V-S. The restrained domination number of G, denoted by γ r ( G ) , is the minimum cardinality of a restrained dominating set of G. A unicyclic graph is a connected graph that contains precisely one cycle. We show that if U is a unicyclic graph of order n, then γ r ( U ) n / 3 , and provide a characterization of graphs achieving this bound.

The cobondage number of a graph

V.R. Kulli, B. Janakiram (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A set D of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is a dominating set of G if every vertex in V-D is adjacent to some vertex in D. The domination number γ(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set. We define the cobondage number b c ( G ) of G to be the minimum cardinality among the sets of edges X ⊆ P₂(V) - E, where P₂(V) = X ⊆ V:|X| = 2 such that γ(G+X) < γ(G). In this paper, the exact values of bc(G) for some standard graphs are found and some bounds are obtained. Also, a Nordhaus-Gaddum...

Uniquely partitionable planar graphs with respect to properties having a forbidden tree

Jozef Bucko, Jaroslav Ivančo (1999)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let ₁, ₂ be graph properties. A vertex (₁,₂)-partition of a graph G is a partition V₁,V₂ of V(G) such that for i = 1,2 the induced subgraph G [ V i ] has the property i . A property ℜ = ₁∘₂ is defined to be the set of all graphs having a vertex (₁,₂)-partition. A graph G ∈ ₁∘₂ is said to be uniquely (₁,₂)-partitionable if G has exactly one vertex (₁,₂)-partition. In this note, we show the existence of uniquely partitionable planar graphs with respect to hereditary additive properties having a...

On total restrained domination in graphs

De-xiang Ma, Xue-Gang Chen, Liang Sun (2005)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In this paper we initiate the study of total restrained domination in graphs. Let G = ( V , E ) be a graph. A total restrained dominating set is a set S V where every vertex in V - S is adjacent to a vertex in S as well as to another vertex in V - S , and every vertex in S is adjacent to another vertex in S . The total restrained domination number of G , denoted by γ r t ( G ) , is the smallest cardinality of a total restrained dominating set of G . First, some exact values and sharp bounds for γ r t ( G ) are given in Section 2....

A bound on the k -domination number of a graph

Lutz Volkmann (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let G be a graph with vertex set V ( G ) , and let k 1 be an integer. A subset D V ( G ) is called a if every vertex v V ( G ) - D has at least k neighbors in D . The k -domination number γ k ( G ) of G is the minimum cardinality of a k -dominating set in G . If G is a graph with minimum degree δ ( G ) k + 1 , then we prove that γ k + 1 ( G ) | V ( G ) | + γ k ( G ) 2 . In addition, we present a characterization of a special class of graphs attaining equality in this inequality.

Cyclic decompositions of complete graphs into spanning trees

Dalibor Froncek (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We examine decompositions of complete graphs with an even number of vertices, K 2 n , into n isomorphic spanning trees. While methods of such decompositions into symmetric trees have been known, we develop here a more general method based on a new type of vertex labelling, called flexible q-labelling. This labelling is a generalization of labellings introduced by Rosa and Eldergill.
