On light subgraphs in plane graphs of minimum degree five

Stanislav Jendrol', Tomáš Madaras (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A subgraph of a plane graph is light if the sum of the degrees of the vertices of the subgraph in the graph is small. It is well known that a plane graph of minimum degree five contains light edges and light triangles. In this paper we show that every plane graph of minimum degree five contains also light stars K 1 , 3 and K 1 , 4 and a light 4-path P₄. The results obtained for K 1 , 3 and P₄ are best possible.

On local structure of 1-planar graphs of minimum degree 5 and girth 4

Dávid Hudák, Tomás Madaras (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph is 1-planar if it can be embedded in the plane so that each edge is crossed by at most one other edge. We prove that each 1-planar graph of minimum degree 5 and girth 4 contains (1) a 5-vertex adjacent to an ≤ 6-vertex, (2) a 4-cycle whose every vertex has degree at most 9, (3) a K 1 , 4 with all vertices having degree at most 11.

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...

Join of two graphs admits a nowhere-zero 3 -flow

Saieed Akbari, Maryam Aliakbarpour, Naryam Ghanbari, Emisa Nategh, Hossein Shahmohamad (2014)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let G be a graph, and λ the smallest integer for which G has a nowhere-zero λ -flow, i.e., an integer λ for which G admits a nowhere-zero λ -flow, but it does not admit a ( λ - 1 ) -flow. We denote the minimum flow number of G by Λ ( G ) . In this paper we show that if G and H are two arbitrary graphs and G has no isolated vertex, then Λ ( G ∨ H ) ≤ 3 except two cases: (i) One of the graphs G and H is K 2 and the other is 1 -regular. (ii) H = K 1 and G is a graph with at least one isolated vertex or a component whose every...

Note on independent sets of a graph

Jaroslav Ivančo (1994)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

Let the number of k -element sets of independent vertices and edges of a graph G be denoted by n ( G , k ) and m ( G , k ) , respectively. It is shown that the graphs whose every component is a circuit are the only graphs for which the equality n ( G , k ) = m ( G , k ) is satisfied for all values of k .

Homogeneously embedding stratified graphs in stratified graphs

Gary Chartrand, Donald W. Vanderjagt, Ping Zhang (2005)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

A 2-stratified graph G is a graph whose vertex set has been partitioned into two subsets, called the strata or color classes of G . Two 2 -stratified graphs G and H are isomorphic if there exists a color-preserving isomorphism φ from G to H . A 2 -stratified graph G is said to be homogeneously embedded in a 2 -stratified graph H if for every vertex x of G and every vertex y of H , where x and y are colored the same, there exists an induced 2 -stratified subgraph H ' of H containing y and a color-preserving...

Degree-continuous graphs

John Gimbel, Ping Zhang (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph G is degree-continuous if the degrees of every two adjacent vertices of G differ by at most 1. A finite nonempty set S of integers is convex if k ∈ S for every integer k with min ( S ) ≤ k ≤ max ( S ) . It is shown that for all integers r > 0 and s ≥ 0 and a convex set S with min ( S ) = r and max ( S ) = r + s , there exists a connected degree-continuous graph G with the degree set S and diameter 2 s + 2 . The minimum order of a degree-continuous graph with a prescribed degree set is studied. Furthermore, it is shown that for every graph G and convex...
