Star-Cycle Factors of Graphs

Yoshimi Egawa, Mikio Kano, Zheng Yan (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A spanning subgraph F of a graph G is called a star-cycle factor of G if each component of F is a star or cycle. Let G be a graph and f : V (G) → {1, 2, 3, . . .} be a function. Let W = {v ∈ V (G) : f(v) = 1}. Under this notation, it was proved by Berge and Las Vergnas that G has a star-cycle factor F with the property that (i) if a component D of F is a star with center v, then degF (v) ≤ f(v), and (ii) if a component D of F is a cycle, then V (D) ⊆ W if and only if iso(G − S) ≤ Σx∈S...

The cycle-complete graph Ramsey number r(C₅,K₇)

Ingo Schiermeyer (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The cycle-complete graph Ramsey number r(Cₘ,Kₙ) is the smallest integer N such that every graph G of order N contains a cycle Cₘ on m vertices or has independence number α(G) ≥ n. It has been conjectured by Erdős, Faudree, Rousseau and Schelp that r(Cₘ,Kₙ) = (m-1)(n-1)+1 for all m ≥ n ≥ 3 (except r(C₃,K₃) = 6). This conjecture holds for 3 ≤ n ≤ 6. In this paper we will present a proof for r(C₅,K₇) = 25.

The list linear arboricity of planar graphs

Xinhui An, Baoyindureng Wu (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The linear arboricity la(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of linear forests which partition the edges of G. An and Wu introduce the notion of list linear arboricity lla(G) of a graph G and conjecture that lla(G) = la(G) for any graph G. We confirm that this conjecture is true for any planar graph having Δ ≥ 13, or for any planar graph with Δ ≥ 7 and without i-cycles for some i ∈ {3,4,5}. We also prove that ⌈½Δ(G)⌉ ≤ lla(G) ≤ ⌈½(Δ(G)+1)⌉ for any planar graph having Δ ≥ 9. ...

Supermagic Graphs Having a Saturated Vertex

Jaroslav Ivančo, Tatiana Polláková (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph is called supermagic if it admits a labeling of the edges by pairwise different consecutive integers such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with a vertex is independent of the particular vertex. In this paper we establish some conditions for graphs with a saturated vertex to be supermagic. Inter alia we show that complete multipartite graphs K1,n,n and K1,2,...,2 are supermagic.

The i-chords of cycles and paths

Terry A. McKee (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An i-chord of a cycle or path is an edge whose endpoints are a distance i ≥ 2 apart along the cycle or path. Motivated by many standard graph classes being describable by the existence of chords, we investigate what happens when i-chords are required for specific values of i. Results include the following: A graph is strongly chordal if and only if, for i ∈ {4,6}, every cycle C with |V(C)| ≥ i has an (i/2)-chord. A graph is a threshold graph if and only if, for i ∈ {4,5}, every path...
