On 𝓕-independence in graphs

Frank Göring, Jochen Harant, Dieter Rautenbach, Ingo Schiermeyer (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let be a set of graphs and for a graph G let α ( G ) and α * ( G ) denote the maximum order of an induced subgraph of G which does not contain a graph in as a subgraph and which does not contain a graph in as an induced subgraph, respectively. Lower bounds on α ( G ) and α * ( G ) are presented.

Upper oriented chromatic number of undirected graphs and oriented colorings of product graphs

Éric Sopena (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The oriented chromatic number of an oriented graph G is the minimum order of an oriented graph H such that G admits a homomorphism to H . The oriented chromatic number of an undirected graph G is then the greatest oriented chromatic number of its orientations. In this paper, we introduce the new notion of the upper oriented chromatic number of an undirected graph G, defined as the minimum order of an oriented graph U such that every orientation G of G admits a homomorphism to U . We give...

On subgraphs without large components

Glenn G. Chappell, John Gimbel (2017)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

We consider, for a positive integer k , induced subgraphs in which each component has order at most k . Such a subgraph is said to be k -divided. We show that finding large induced subgraphs with this property is NP-complete. We also consider a related graph-coloring problem: how many colors are required in a vertex coloring in which each color class induces a k -divided subgraph. We show that the problem of determining whether some given number of colors suffice is NP-complete, even for...

Neighbor sum distinguishing list total coloring of IC-planar graphs without 5-cycles

Donghan Zhang (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let G = ( V ( G ) , E ( G ) ) be a simple graph and E G ( v ) denote the set of edges incident with a vertex v . A neighbor sum distinguishing (NSD) total coloring φ of G is a proper total coloring of G such that z E G ( u ) { u } φ ( z ) z E G ( v ) { v } φ ( z ) for each edge u v E ( G ) . Pilśniak and Woźniak asserted in 2015 that each graph with maximum degree Δ admits an NSD total ( Δ + 3 ) -coloring. We prove that the list version of this conjecture holds for any IC-planar graph with Δ 11 but without 5 -cycles by applying the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz.

Some remarks on α-domination

Franz Dahme, Dieter Rautenbach, Lutz Volkmann (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let α ∈ (0,1) and let G = ( V G , E G ) be a graph. According to Dunbar, Hoffman, Laskar and Markus [3] a set D V G is called an α-dominating set of G, if | N G ( u ) D | α d G ( u ) for all u V G D . We prove a series of upper bounds on the α-domination number of a graph G defined as the minimum cardinality of an α-dominating set of G.

On the diameter of the intersection graph of a finite simple group

Xuanlong Ma (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let G be a finite group. The intersection graph Δ G of G is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper nontrivial subgroups of G , and two distinct vertices X and Y are adjacent if X Y 1 , where 1 denotes the trivial subgroup of order 1 . A question was posed by Shen (2010) whether the diameters of intersection graphs of finite non-abelian simple groups have an upper bound. We answer the question and show that the diameters...

Nonempty intersection of longest paths in a graph with a small matching number

Fuyuan Chen (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A maximum matching of a graph G is a matching of G with the largest number of edges. The matching number of a graph G , denoted by α ' ( G ) , is the number of edges in a maximum matching of G . In 1966, Gallai conjectured that all the longest paths of a connected graph have a common vertex. Although this conjecture has been disproved, finding some nice classes of graphs that support this conjecture is still very meaningful and interesting. In this short note, we prove that Gallai’s conjecture...

Edge-colouring of graphs and hereditary graph properties

Samantha Dorfling, Tomáš Vetrík (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Edge-colourings of graphs have been studied for decades. We study edge-colourings with respect to hereditary graph properties. For a graph G , a hereditary graph property 𝒫 and l 1 we define χ 𝒫 , l ' ( G ) to be the minimum number of colours needed to properly colour the edges of G , such that any subgraph of G induced by edges coloured by (at most) l colours is in 𝒫 . We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of χ 𝒫 , l ' ( G ) . We focus on edge-colourings of graphs with respect to the hereditary...

Classification of rings with toroidal Jacobson graph

Krishnan Selvakumar, Manoharan Subajini (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let R be a commutative ring with nonzero identity and J ( R ) the Jacobson radical of R . The Jacobson graph of R , denoted by 𝔍 R , is defined as the graph with vertex set R J ( R ) such that two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if 1 - x y is not a unit of R . The genus of a simple graph G is the smallest nonnegative integer n such that G can be embedded into an orientable surface S n . In this paper, we investigate the genus number of the compact Riemann surface in which 𝔍 R can be embedded and...

Intrinsic linking and knotting are arbitrarily complex

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We show that, given any n and α, any embedding of any sufficiently large complete graph in ℝ³ contains an oriented link with components Q₁, ..., Qₙ such that for every i ≠ j, | l k ( Q i , Q j ) | α and | a ( Q i ) | α , where a ( Q i ) denotes the second coefficient of the Conway polynomial of Q i .

On the bounds of Laplacian eigenvalues of k -connected graphs

Xiaodan Chen, Yaoping Hou (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let μ n - 1 ( G ) be the algebraic connectivity, and let μ 1 ( G ) be the Laplacian spectral radius of a k -connected graph G with n vertices and m edges. In this paper, we prove that μ n - 1 ( G ) 2 n k 2 ( n ( n - 1 ) - 2 m ) ( n + k - 2 ) + 2 k 2 , with equality if and only if G is the complete graph K n or K n - e . Moreover, if G is non-regular, then μ 1 ( G ) < 2 Δ - 2 ( n Δ - 2 m ) k 2 2 ( n Δ - 2 m ) ( n 2 - 2 n + 2 k ) + n k 2 , where Δ stands for the maximum degree of G . Remark that in some cases, these two inequalities improve some previously known results.

On distinguishing and distinguishing chromatic numbers of hypercubes

Werner Klöckl (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The distinguishing number D(G) of a graph G is the least integer d such that G has a labeling with d colors that is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism. The restriction to proper labelings leads to the definition of the distinguishing chromatic number χ D ( G ) of G. Extending these concepts to infinite graphs we prove that D ( Q ) = 2 and χ D ( Q ) = 3 , where Q denotes the hypercube of countable dimension. We also show that χ D ( Q ) = 4 , thereby completing the investigation of finite hypercubes with respect to χ D . Our...

Some results on the annihilator graph of a commutative ring

Mojgan Afkhami, Kazem Khashyarmanesh, Zohreh Rajabi (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let R be a commutative ring. The annihilator graph of R , denoted by AG ( R ) , is the undirected graph with all nonzero zero-divisors of R as vertex set, and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if ann R ( x y ) ann R ( x ) ann R ( y ) , where for z R , ann R ( z ) = { r R : r z = 0 } . In this paper, we characterize all finite commutative rings R with planar or outerplanar or ring-graph annihilator graphs. We characterize all finite commutative rings R whose annihilator graphs have clique number 1 , 2 or 3 . Also, we investigate some properties...

Complete pairs of coanalytic sets

Jean Saint Raymond (2007)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let X be a Polish space, and let C₀ and C₁ be disjoint coanalytic subsets of X. The pair (C₀,C₁) is said to be complete if for every pair (D₀,D₁) of disjoint coanalytic subsets of ω ω there exists a continuous function f : ω ω X such that f - 1 ( C ) = D and f - 1 ( C ) = D . We give several explicit examples of complete pairs of coanalytic sets.

Domination and independence subdivision numbers of graphs

Teresa W. Haynes, Sandra M. Hedetniemi, Stephen T. Hedetniemi (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The domination subdivision number s d γ ( G ) of a graph is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (where an edge can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the domination number. Arumugam showed that this number is at most three for any tree, and conjectured that the upper bound of three holds for any graph. Although we do not prove this interesting conjecture, we give an upper bound for the domination subdivision number for any graph G in terms of the minimum degrees of...
