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...

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 .

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,...

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Ewa Drgas-Burchardt, Peter Mihók (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We prove: (1) that c h P ( G ) - χ P ( G ) can be arbitrarily large, where c h P ( G ) and χ P ( G ) are P-choice and P-chromatic numbers, respectively, (2) the (P,L)-colouring version of Brooks’ and Gallai’s theorems.

Equivalent classes for K₃-gluings of wheels

Halina Bielak (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper, the chromaticity of K₃-gluings of two wheels is studied. For each even integer n ≥ 6 and each odd integer 3 ≤ q ≤ [n/2] all K₃-gluings of wheels W q + 2 and W n - q + 2 create an χ-equivalent class.

On generalized shift graphs

Christian Avart, Tomasz Łuczak, Vojtěch Rödl (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In 1968 Erdős and Hajnal introduced shift graphs as graphs whose vertices are the k-element subsets of [n] = 1,...,n (or of an infinite cardinal κ ) and with two k-sets A = a , . . . , a k and B = b , . . . , b k joined if a < a = b < a = b < < a k = b k - 1 < b k . They determined the chromatic number of these graphs. In this paper we extend this definition and study the chromatic number of graphs defined similarly for other types of mutual position with respect to the underlying ordering. As a consequence of our result, we show the existence of a graph with...

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 the independent domination number versus the domination number in bipartite graphs

Shaohui Wang, Bing Wei (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let γ ( G ) and i ( G ) be the domination number and the independent domination number of G , respectively. Rad and Volkmann posted a conjecture that i ( G ) / γ ( G ) Δ ( G ) / 2 for any graph G , where Δ ( G ) is its maximum degree (see N. J. Rad, L. Volkmann (2013)). In this work, we verify the conjecture for bipartite graphs. Several graph classes attaining the extremal bound and graphs containing odd cycles with the ratio larger than Δ ( G ) / 2 are provided as well.

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 ) .

Note on a conjecture for the sum of signless Laplacian eigenvalues

Xiaodan Chen, Guoliang Hao, Dequan Jin, Jingjian Li (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For a simple graph G on n vertices and an integer k with 1 k n , denote by 𝒮 k + ( G ) the sum of k largest signless Laplacian eigenvalues of G . It was conjectured that 𝒮 k + ( G ) e ( G ) + k + 1 2 , where e ( G ) is the number of edges of G . This conjecture has been proved to be true for all graphs when k { 1 , 2 , n - 1 , n } , and for trees, unicyclic graphs, bicyclic graphs and regular graphs (for all k ). In this note, this conjecture is proved to be true for all graphs when k = n - 2 , and for some new classes of graphs.

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...

Roughness in G -graphs

Bibi N. Onagh (2020)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

G -graphs are a type of graphs associated to groups, which were proposed by A. Bretto and A. Faisant (2005). In this paper, we first give some theorems regarding G -graphs. Then we introduce the notion of rough G -graphs and investigate some important properties of these graphs.

2-halvable complete 4-partite graphs

Dalibor Fronček (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A complete 4-partite graph K m , m , m , m is called d-halvable if it can be decomposed into two isomorphic factors of diameter d. In the class of graphs K m , m , m , m with at most one odd part all d-halvable graphs are known. In the class of biregular graphs K m , m , m , m with four odd parts (i.e., the graphs K m , m , m , n and K m , m , n , n ) all d-halvable graphs are known as well, except for the graphs K m , m , n , n when d = 2 and n ≠ m. We prove that such graphs are 2-halvable iff n,m ≥ 3. We also determine a new class of non-halvable graphs K m , m , m , m with three...

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.

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 .

Edit distance measure for graphs

Tomasz Dzido, Krzysztof Krzywdziński (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In this paper, we investigate a measure of similarity of graphs similar to the Ramsey number. We present values and bounds for g ( n , l ) , the biggest number k guaranteeing that there exist l graphs on n vertices, each two having edit distance at least k . By edit distance of two graphs G , F we mean the number of edges needed to be added to or deleted from graph G to obtain graph F . This new extremal number g ( n , l ) is closely linked to the edit distance of graphs. Using probabilistic methods we show...
