Radio Graceful Hamming Graphs

Amanda Niedzialomski (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For k ∈ ℤ+ and G a simple, connected graph, a k-radio labeling f : V (G) → ℤ+ of G requires all pairs of distinct vertices u and v to satisfy |f(u) − f(v)| ≥ k + 1 − d(u, v). We consider k-radio labelings of G when k = diam(G). In this setting, f is injective; if f is also surjective onto {1, 2, . . . , |V (G)|}, then f is a consecutive radio labeling. Graphs that can be labeled with such a labeling are called radio graceful. In this paper, we give two results on the existence of radio...

Characterizing Cartesian fixers and multipliers

Stephen Benecke, Christina M. Mynhardt (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G ☐ H denote the Cartesian product of the graphs G and H. In 2004, Hartnell and Rall [On dominating the Cartesian product of a graph and K₂, Discuss. Math. Graph Theory 24(3) (2004), 389-402] characterized prism fixers, i.e., graphs G for which γ(G ☐ K₂) = γ(G), and noted that γ(G ☐ Kₙ) ≥ min{|V(G)|, γ(G)+n-2}. We call a graph G a consistent fixer if γ(G ☐ Kₙ) = γ(G)+n-2 for each n such that 2 ≤ n < |V(G)|- γ(G)+2, and characterize this class of graphs. Also...

Note on enumeration of labeled split graphs

Vladislav Bína, Jiří Přibil (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

The paper brings explicit formula for enumeration of vertex-labeled split graphs with given number of vertices. The authors derive this formula combinatorially using an auxiliary assertion concerning number of split graphs with given clique number. In conclusion authors discuss enumeration of vertex-labeled bipartite graphs, i.e., a graphical class defined in a similar manner to the class of split graphs.

Dominating bipartite subgraphs in graphs

Gábor Bacsó, Danuta Michalak, Zsolt Tuza (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph G is hereditarily dominated by a class 𝓓 of connected graphs if each connected induced subgraph of G contains a dominating induced subgraph belonging to 𝓓. In this paper we characterize graphs hereditarily dominated by classes of complete bipartite graphs, stars, connected bipartite graphs, and complete k-partite graphs.

Light Graphs In Planar Graphs Of Large Girth

Peter Hudák, Mária Maceková, Tomáš Madaras, Pavol Široczki (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph H is defined to be light in a graph family 𝒢 if there exist finite numbers φ(H, 𝒢) and w(H, 𝒢) such that each G ∈ 𝒢 which contains H as a subgraph, also contains its isomorphic copy K with ΔG(K) ≤ φ(H, 𝒢) and ∑x∈V(K) degG(x) ≤ w(H, 𝒢). In this paper, we investigate light graphs in families of plane graphs of minimum degree 2 with prescribed girth and no adjacent 2-vertices, specifying several necessary conditions for their lightness and providing sharp bounds on φ and w...

On dually compact closed classes of graphs and BFS-constructible graphs

Norbert Polat (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A class C of graphs is said to be dually compact closed if, for every infinite G ∈ C, each finite subgraph of G is contained in a finite induced subgraph of G which belongs to C. The class of trees and more generally the one of chordal graphs are dually compact closed. One of the main part of this paper is to settle a question of Hahn, Sands, Sauer and Woodrow by showing that the class of bridged graphs is dually compact closed. To prove this result we use the concept of constructible...

Arboreal structure and regular graphs of median-like classes

Bostjan Brešar (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We consider classes of graphs that enjoy the following properties: they are closed for gated subgraphs, gated amalgamation and Cartesian products, and for any gated subgraph the inverse of the gate function maps vertices to gated subsets. We prove that any graph of such a class contains a peripheral subgraph which is a Cartesian product of two graphs: a gated subgraph of the graph and a prime graph minus a vertex. Therefore, these graphs admit a peripheral elimination procedure which...

The Existence Of P≥3-Factor Covered Graphs

Sizhong Zhou, Jiancheng Wu, Tao Zhang (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A spanning subgraph F of a graph G is called a P≥3-factor of G if every component of F is a path of order at least 3. A graph G is called a P≥3-factor covered graph if G has a P≥3-factor including e for any e ∈ E(G). In this paper, we obtain three sufficient conditions for graphs to be P≥3-factor covered graphs. Furthermore, it is shown that the results are sharp.

α-Labelings of a Class of Generalized Petersen Graphs

Anna Benini, Anita Pasotti (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An α-labeling of a bipartite graph Γ of size e is an injective function f : V (Γ) → {0, 1, 2, . . . , e} such that {|ƒ(x) − ƒ(y)| : [x, y] ∈ E(Γ)} = {1, 2, . . . , e} and with the property that its maximum value on one of the two bipartite sets does not reach its minimum on the other one. We prove that the generalized Petersen graph PSn,3 admits an α-labeling for any integer n ≥ 1 confirming that the conjecture posed by Vietri in [10] is true. In such a way we obtain an infinite class...
