Similarity:

We call a digraph D an m-colored digraph if the arcs of D are colored with m colors. A directed path (or a directed cycle) is called monochromatic if all of its arcs are colored alike. A subdigraph H in D is called rainbow if all of its arcs have different colors. A set N ⊆ V (D) is said to be a kernel by monochromatic paths of D if it satisfies the two following conditions: for every pair of different vertices u, v ∈ N there is no monochromatic path in D between them, and for every...

Cyclically k-partite digraphs and k-kernels

Hortensia Galeana-Sánchez, César Hernández-Cruz (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let D be a digraph, V(D) and A(D) will denote the sets of vertices and arcs of D, respectively. A (k,l)-kernel N of D is a k-independent set of vertices (if u,v ∈ N then d(u,v) ≥ k) and l-absorbent (if u ∈ V(D)-N then there exists v ∈ N such that d(u,v) ≤ l). A k-kernel is a (k,k-1)-kernel. A digraph D is cyclically k-partite if there exists a partition ${V_{i}}_{i = 0}^{k - 1}$ of V(D) such that every arc in D is a $V_{i} V_{i + 1} - a r c$ (mod k). We give a characterization for an unilateral digraph to be cyclically k-partite through...

Kernels by monochromatic paths and the color-class digraph

Hortensia Galeana-Sánchez (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An m-colored digraph is a digraph whose arcs are colored with m colors. A directed path is monochromatic when its arcs are colored alike. A set S ⊆ V(D) is a kernel by monochromatic paths whenever the two following conditions hold: 1. For any x,y ∈ S, x ≠ y, there is no monochromatic directed path between them. 2. For each z ∈ (V(D)-S) there exists a zS-monochromatic directed path. In this paper it is introduced the concept of...

Kernels in the closure of coloured digraphs

Hortensia Galeana-Sánchez, José de Jesús García-Ruvalcaba (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let D be a digraph with V(D) and A(D) the sets of vertices and arcs of D, respectively. A kernel of D is a set I ⊂ V(D) such that no arc of D joins two vertices of I and for each x ∈ V(D)∖I there is a vertex y ∈ I such that (x,y) ∈ A(D). A digraph is kernel-perfect if every non-empty induced subdigraph of D has a kernel. If D is edge coloured, we define the closure ξ(D) of D the multidigraph with V(ξ(D)) = V(D) and $A (ξ (D)) = ⋃_{i} (u, v) w i t h c o l o u r i t h e r e e x i s t s a m o n o c h r o m a t i c p a t h o f c o l o u r i f r o m t h e v e r t e x u t o t h e v e r t e x v c o n t a i n e d i n D .$ Let T₃ and C₃ denote the transitive tournament of order 3 and the 3-cycle,...

On monochromatic paths and bicolored subdigraphs in arc-colored tournaments

Pietra Delgado-Escalante, Hortensia Galeana-Sánchez (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Consider an arc-colored digraph. A set of vertices N is a kernel by monochromatic paths if all pairs of distinct vertices of N have no monochromatic directed path between them and if for every vertex v not in N there exists n ∈ N such that there is a monochromatic directed path from v to n. In this paper we prove different sufficient conditions which imply that an arc-colored tournament has a kernel by monochromatic paths. Our conditions concerns to some subdigraphs of T and its quasimonochromatic...

Multicolor Ramsey numbers for paths and cycles

Tomasz Dzido (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For given graphs G₁,G₂,...,Gₖ, k ≥ 2, the multicolor Ramsey number R(G₁,G₂,...,Gₖ) is the smallest integer n such that if we arbitrarily color the edges of the complete graph on n vertices with k colors, then it is always a monochromatic copy of some $G_{i}$ , for 1 ≤ i ≤ k. We give a lower bound for k-color Ramsey number R(Cₘ,Cₘ,...,Cₘ), where m ≥ 8 is even and Cₘ is the cycle on m vertices. In addition, we provide exact values for Ramsey numbers R(P₃,Cₘ,Cₚ), where P₃ is the path on 3 vertices,...

On a problem of walks

Charles Delorme, Marie-Claude Heydemann (1999)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

In 1995, F. Jaeger and M.-C. Heydemann began to work on a conjecture on binary operations which are related to homomorphisms of De Bruijn digraphs. For this, they have considered the class of digraphs $G$ such that for any integer $k$ , $G$ has exactly $n$ walks of length $k$ , where $n$ is the order of $G$ . Recently, C. Delorme has obtained some results on the original conjecture. The aim of this paper is to recall the conjecture and to report where all the authors arrived.

Kernels by Monochromatic Paths and Color-Perfect Digraphs

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

For a digraph D, V (D) and A(D) will denote the sets of vertices and arcs of D respectively. In an arc-colored digraph, a subset K of V(D) is said to be kernel by monochromatic paths (mp-kernel) if (1) for any two different vertices x, y in N there is no monochromatic directed path between them (N is mp-independent) and (2) for each vertex u in V (D) N there exists v ∈ N such that there is a monochromatic directed path from u to v in D (N is mp-absorbent). If every arc in D has a different...

Monochromatic kernel-perfectness of special classes of digraphs

Hortensia Galeana-Sánchez, Luis Alberto Jiménez Ramírez (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper, we introduce the concept of monochromatic kernel-perfect digraph, and we prove the following two results: (1) If D is a digraph without monochromatic directed cycles, then D and each $α_{v}, v \in V (D)$ are monochromatic kernel-perfect digraphs if and only if the composition over D of ${(α_{v})}_{v \in V (D)}$ is a monochromatic kernel-perfect digraph. (2) D is a monochromatic kernel-perfect digraph if and only if for any B ⊆ V(D), the duplication of D over B, $D^{B}$ , is a monochromatic kernel-perfect digraph. ...

Rainbow Connectivity of Cacti and of Some Infinite Digraphs

Jesús Alva-Samos, Juan José Montellano-Ballesteros (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An arc-coloured digraph D = (V,A) is said to be rainbow connected if for every pair {u, v} ⊆ V there is a directed uv-path all whose arcs have different colours and a directed vu-path all whose arcs have different colours. The minimum number of colours required to make the digraph D rainbow connected is called the rainbow connection number of D, denoted rc⃗ (D). A cactus is a digraph where each arc belongs to exactly one directed cycle. In this paper we give sharp upper and lower bounds...
