4-cycle properties for characterizing rectagraphs and hypercubes

Khadra Bouanane, Abdelhafid Berrachedi (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A ( 0 , 2 ) -graph is a connected graph, where each pair of vertices has either 0 or 2 common neighbours. These graphs constitute a subclass of ( 0 , λ ) -graphs introduced by Mulder in 1979. A rectagraph, well known in diagram geometry, is a triangle-free ( 0 , 2 ) -graph. ( 0 , 2 ) -graphs include hypercubes, folded cube graphs and some particular graphs such as icosahedral graph, Shrikhande graph, Klein graph, Gewirtz graph, etc. In this paper, we give some local properties of 4-cycles in ( 0 , λ ) -graphs and more specifically...

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.

Unicyclic graphs with bicyclic inverses

Swarup Kumar Panda (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph is nonsingular if its adjacency matrix A ( G ) is nonsingular. The inverse of a nonsingular graph G is a graph whose adjacency matrix is similar to A ( G ) - 1 via a particular type of similarity. Let denote the class of connected bipartite graphs with unique perfect matchings. Tifenbach and Kirkland (2009) characterized the unicyclic graphs in which possess unicyclic inverses. We present a characterization of unicyclic graphs in which possess bicyclic inverses.

On characterization of uniquely 3-list colorable complete multipartite graphs

Yancai Zhao, Erfang Shan (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For each vertex v of a graph G, if there exists a list of k colors, L(v), such that there is a unique proper coloring for G from this collection of lists, then G is called a uniquely k-list colorable graph. Ghebleh and Mahmoodian characterized uniquely 3-list colorable complete multipartite graphs except for nine graphs: K 2 , 2 , r r ∈ 4,5,6,7,8, K 2 , 3 , 4 , K 1 * 4 , 4 , K 1 * 4 , 5 , K 1 * 5 , 4 . Also, they conjectured that the nine graphs are not U3LC graphs. After that, except for K 2 , 2 , r r ∈ 4,5,6,7,8, the others have been proved not...

Paired domination in prisms of graphs

Christina M. Mynhardt, Mark Schurch (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The paired domination number γ p r ( G ) of a graph G is the smallest cardinality of a dominating set S of G such that ⟨S⟩ has a perfect matching. The generalized prisms πG of G are the graphs obtained by joining the vertices of two disjoint copies of G by |V(G)| independent edges. We provide characterizations of the following three classes of graphs: γ p r ( π G ) = 2 γ p r ( G ) for all πG; γ p r ( K G ) = 2 γ p r ( G ) ; γ p r ( K G ) = γ p r ( G ) .

Iterated arc graphs

Danny Rorabaugh, Claude Tardif, David Wehlau, Imed Zaguia (2018)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

The arc graph δ ( G ) of a digraph G is the digraph with the set of arcs of G as vertex-set, where the arcs of δ ( G ) join consecutive arcs of G . In 1981, S. Poljak and V. Rödl characterized the chromatic number of δ ( G ) in terms of the chromatic number of G when G is symmetric (i.e., undirected). In contrast, directed graphs with equal chromatic numbers can have arc graphs with distinct chromatic numbers. Even though the arc graph of a symmetric graph is not symmetric, we show that the chromatic number...

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...

The spectral determinations of the connected multicone graphs K w m P 17 and K w m S

Ali Zeydi Abdian, S. Morteza Mirafzal (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Finding and discovering any class of graphs which are determined by their spectra is always an important and interesting problem in the spectral graph theory. The main aim of this study is to characterize two classes of multicone graphs which are determined by both their adjacency and Laplacian spectra. A multicone graph is defined to be the join of a clique and a regular graph. Let K w denote a complete graph on w vertices, and let m be a positive integer number. In A. Z. Abdian (2016)...

Nearly complete graphs decomposable into large induced matchings and their applications

Noga Alon, Ankur Moitra, Benjamin Sudakov (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We describe two constructions of (very) dense graphs which are edge disjoint unions of large induced matchings. The first construction exhibits graphs on N vertices with ( N 2 ) - o ( N 2 ) edges, which can be decomposed into pairwise disjoint induced matchings, each of size N 1 - o ( 1 ) . The second construction provides a covering of all edges of the complete graph K N by two graphs, each being the edge disjoint union of at most N 2 - δ induced matchings, where δ > 0 , 076 . This disproves (in a strong form) a conjecture of Meshulam,...

Generalized connectivity of some total graphs

Yinkui Li, Yaping Mao, Zhao Wang, Zongtian Wei (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We study the generalized k -connectivity κ k ( G ) as introduced by Hager in 1985, as well as the more recently introduced generalized k -edge-connectivity λ k ( G ) . We determine the exact value of κ k ( G ) and λ k ( G ) for the line graphs and total graphs of trees, unicyclic graphs, and also for complete graphs for the case k = 3 .

On the total k-domination number of graphs

Adel P. Kazemi (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let k be a positive integer and let G = (V,E) be a simple graph. The k-tuple domination number γ × k ( G ) of G is the minimum cardinality of a k-tuple dominating set S, a set that for every vertex v ∈ V, | N G [ v ] S | k . Also the total k-domination number γ × k , t ( G ) of G is the minimum cardinality of a total k -dominating set S, a set that for every vertex v ∈ V, | N G ( v ) S | k . The k-transversal number τₖ(H) of a hypergraph H is the minimum size of a subset S ⊆ V(H) such that |S ∩e | ≥ k for every edge e ∈ E(H). We know that for...

Remarks on D -integral complete multipartite graphs

Pavel Híc, Milan Pokorný (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph is called distance integral (or D -integral) if all eigenvalues of its distance matrix are integers. In their study of D -integral complete multipartite graphs, Yang and Wang (2015) posed two questions on the existence of such graphs. We resolve these questions and present some further results on D -integral complete multipartite graphs. We give the first known distance integral complete multipartite graphs K p 1 , p 2 , p 3 with p 1 < p 2 < p 3 , and K p 1 , p 2 , p 3 , p 4 with p 1 < p 2 < p 3 < p 4 , as well as the infinite classes of distance integral...

A note on periodicity of the 2-distance operator

Bohdan Zelinka (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The paper solves one problem by E. Prisner concerning the 2-distance operator T₂. This is an operator on the class C f of all finite undirected graphs. If G is a graph from C f , then T₂(G) is the graph with the same vertex set as G in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance in G is 2. E. Prisner asks whether the periodicity ≥ 3 is possible for T₂. In this paper an affirmative answer is given. A result concerning the periodicity 2 is added.

On short cycles in triangle-free oriented graphs

Yurong Ji, Shufei Wu, Hui Song (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

An orientation of a simple graph is referred to as an oriented graph. Caccetta and Häggkvist conjectured that any digraph on n vertices with minimum outdegree d contains a directed cycle of length at most n / d . In this paper, we consider short cycles in oriented graphs without directed triangles. Suppose that α 0 is the smallest real such that every n -vertex digraph with minimum outdegree at least α 0 n contains a directed triangle. Let ϵ < ( 3 - 2 α 0 ) / ( 4 - 2 α 0 ) be a positive real. We show that if D is an oriented graph...
