Reducible properties of graphs

P. Mihók, G. Semanišin (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let L be the set of all hereditary and additive properties of graphs. For P₁, P₂ ∈ L, the reducible property R = P₁∘P₂ is defined as follows: G ∈ R if and only if there is a partition V(G) = V₁∪ V₂ of the vertex set of G such that V G P and V G P . The aim of this paper is to investigate the structure of the reducible properties of graphs with emphasis on the uniqueness of the decomposition of a reducible property into irreducible ones.

We define ₁ ⊕...⊕ ₙ as the property G ∈ : G has a (₁,...,ₙ)-decomposition. A property is said to be decomposable if there exist non-trivial hereditary properties ₁ and ₂ such...

Let G = (V, E) be a simple graph without isolated vertices and minimum degree δ, and let k ∈ 1 − ⌈δ/2⌉, . . . , ⌊δ/2⌋ be an integer. Given a set M ⊂ V, a vertex v of G is said to be k-controlled by M if [...] δM(v)≥δG(v)2+k δ M ( v ) δ G ( v ) 2 + k , where δM(v) represents the number of neighbors of v in M and δG(v) the degree of v in G. A set M is called an open k-monopoly if every vertex v of G is k-controlled by M. The minimum cardinality of any open k-monopoly is the open k-monopoly number of G. In this...

Let ₁,...,ₙ be properties of graphs. A (₁,...,ₙ)-partition of a graph G is a partition V₁,...,Vₙ of V(G) such that, for each i = 1,...,n, the subgraph of G induced by V i has property i . If a graph G has a unique (₁,...,ₙ)-partition we say it is uniquely (₁,...,ₙ)-partitionable. We establish best lower bounds for the order of uniquely (₁,...,ₙ)-partitionable graphs, for various choices of ₁,...,ₙ.

On hereditary properties of composition graphs

Vadim E. Levit, Eugen Mandrescu (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The composition graph of a family of n+1 disjoint graphs H i : 0 i n is the graph H obtained by substituting the n vertices of H₀ respectively by the graphs H₁,H₂,...,Hₙ. If H has some hereditary property P, then necessarily all its factors enjoy the same property. For some sort of graphs it is sufficient that all factors H i : 0 i n have a certain common P to endow H with this P. For instance, it is known that the composition graph of a family of perfect graphs is also a perfect graph (B. Bollobas, 1978),...

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

A graph G on a topological space X as its set of vertices is clopen if the edge relation of G is a clopen subset of X² without the diagonal. We study clopen graphs on Polish spaces in terms of their finite induced subgraphs and obtain information about their cochromatic numbers. In this context we investigate modular profinite graphs, a class of graphs obtained from finite graphs by taking inverse limits. This continues the investigation of continuous colorings on Polish spaces and their...

K. Reji Kumar, Gary MacGillivray (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper we study some of the structural properties of the set of all minimal total dominating functions ( T ) of cycles and paths and introduce the idea of function reducible graphs and function separable graphs. It is proved that a function reducible graph is a function separable graph. We shall also see how the idea of function reducibility is used to study the structure of T ( G ) for some classes of graphs.

For a connected graph G with at least two vertices and S a subset of vertices, the convex hull [ S ] G is the smallest convex set containing S. The hull number h(G) is the minimum cardinality among the subsets S of V(G) with [ S ] G = V ( G ) . Upper bound for the hull number of strong product G ⊠ H of two graphs G and H is obtainted. Improved upper bounds are obtained for some class of strong product graphs. Exact values for the hull number of some special classes of strong product graphs are obtained. Graphs...

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper Gallai’s inequality on the number of edges in critical graphs is generalized for reducible additive induced-hereditary properties of graphs in the following way. Let , , . . . , (k ≥ 2) be additive induced-hereditary properties, = . . . and δ = i = 1 k δ ( i ) . Suppose that G is an -critical graph with n vertices and m edges. Then 2m ≥ δn + (δ-2)/(δ²+2δ-2)*n + (2δ)/(δ²+2δ-2) unless = ² or G = K δ + 1 . The generalization of Gallai’s inequality for -choice critical graphs is also presented.

Paul Martinez, Juan Ortiz, Maggy Tomova, Cindy Wyels (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A radio labeling is an assignment c:V(G) → N such that every distinct pair of vertices u,v satisfies the inequality d(u,v) + |c(u)-c(v)| ≥ diam(G) + 1. The span of a radio labeling is the maximum value. The radio number of G, rn(G), is the minimum span over all radio labelings of G. Generalized prism graphs, denoted Z n , s , s ≥ 1, n ≥ s, have vertex set (i,j) | i = 1,2 and j = 1,...,n and edge set ((i,j),(i,j ±1)) ∪ ((1,i),(2,i+σ)) | σ = -⌊(s-1)/2⌋...,0,...,⌊s/2⌋.

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We deal with the graph operator P o w ¯ defined to be the complement of the square of a graph: P o w ¯ ( G ) = P o w ( G ) ¯ . Motivated by one of many open problems formulated in [6] we look for graphs that are 2-periodic with respect to this operator. We describe a class of bipartite graphs possessing the above mentioned property and prove that for any m,n ≥ 6, the complete bipartite graph K m , n can be decomposed in two edge-disjoint factors from . We further show that all the incidence graphs of Desarguesian finite projective...

Rotation and jump distances between graphs

Gary Chartrand, Heather Gavlas, Héctor Hevia, Mark A. Johnson (1997)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph H is obtained from a graph G by an edge rotation if G contains three distinct vertices u,v, and w such that uv ∈ E(G), uw ∉ E(G), and H = G-uv+uw. A graph H is obtained from a graph G by an edge jump if G contains four distinct vertices u,v,w, and x such that uv ∈ E(G), wx∉ E(G), and H = G-uv+wx. If a graph H is obtained from a graph G by a sequence of edge jumps, then G is said to be j-transformed into H. It is shown that for every two graphs G and H of the same order (at least...

Dalibor Fronček (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A complete 4-partite graph K m , m , m , m is called d-halvable if it can be decomposed into two isomorphic factors of diameter d. In the class of graphs K m , m , m , m with at most one odd part all d-halvable graphs are known. In the class of biregular graphs K m , m , m , m with four odd parts (i.e., the graphs K m , m , m , n and K m , m , n , n ) all d-halvable graphs are known as well, except for the graphs K m , m , n , n when d = 2 and n ≠ m. We prove that such graphs are 2-halvable iff n,m ≥ 3. We also determine a new class of non-halvable graphs K m , m , m , m with three...
