On Path-Pairability in the Cartesian Product of Graphs

Gábor Mészáros (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We study the inheritance of path-pairability in the Cartesian product of graphs and prove additive and multiplicative inheritance patterns of path-pairability, depending on the number of vertices in the Cartesian product. We present path-pairable graph families that improve the known upper bound on the minimal maximum degree of a path-pairable graph. Further results and open questions about path-pairability are also presented.

A New Proof that 4-Connected Planar Graphs are Hamiltonian-Connected

Xiaoyun Lu, Douglas B. West (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We prove a theorem guaranteeing special paths of faces in 2-connected plane graphs. As a corollary, we obtain a new proof of Thomassen’s theorem that every 4-connected planar graph is Hamiltonian-connected.

Proper Connection Of Direct Products

Richard H. Hammack, Dewey T. Taylor (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The proper connection number of a graph is the least integer k for which the graph has an edge coloring with k colors, with the property that any two vertices are joined by a properly colored path. We prove that given two connected non-bipartite graphs, one of which is (vertex) 2-connected, the proper connection number of their direct product is 2.

Path-Neighborhood Graphs

R.C. Laskar, Henry Martyn Mulder (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A path-neighborhood graph is a connected graph in which every neighborhood induces a path. In the main results the 3-sun-free path-neighborhood graphs are characterized. The 3-sun is obtained from a 6-cycle by adding three chords between the three pairs of vertices at distance 2. A Pk-graph is a path-neighborhood graph in which every neighborhood is a Pk, where Pk is the path on k vertices. The Pk-graphs are characterized for k ≤ 4.

Asteroidal Quadruples in non Rooted Path Graphs

Marisa Gutierrez, Benjamin Lévêque, Silvia B. Tondato (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A directed path graph is the intersection graph of a family of directed subpaths of a directed tree. A rooted path graph is the intersection graph of a family of directed subpaths of a rooted tree. Rooted path graphs are directed path graphs. Several characterizations are known for directed path graphs: one by forbidden induced subgraphs and one by forbidden asteroids. It is an open problem to find such characterizations for rooted path graphs. For this purpose, we are studying in this...

A Note on Path Domination

Liliana Alcón (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We study domination between different types of walks connecting two non-adjacent vertices u and v of a graph (shortest paths, induced paths, paths, tolled walks). We succeeded in characterizing those graphs in which every uv-walk of one particular kind dominates every uv-walk of other specific kind. We thereby obtained new characterizations of standard graph classes like chordal, interval and superfragile graphs.
