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.

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...

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...

Proper connection number of bipartite graphs

Jun Yue, Meiqin Wei, Yan Zhao (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

An edge-colored graph $G$ is proper connected if every pair of vertices is connected by a proper path. The proper connection number of a connected graph $G$ , denoted by $pc (G)$ , is the smallest number of colors that are needed to color the edges of $G$ in order to make it proper connected. In this paper, we obtain the sharp upper bound for $pc (G)$ of a general bipartite graph $G$ and a series of extremal graphs. Additionally, we give a proper $2$ -coloring for a connected bipartite graph $G$ having $δ (G) \geq 2$ and a dominating...

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 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 $D (Q_{ℵ} ₀) = 2$ and $χ_{D} (Q_{ℵ} ₀) = 3$ , where $Q_{ℵ} ₀$ denotes the hypercube of countable dimension. We also show that $χ_{D} (Q ₄) = 4$ , thereby completing the investigation of finite hypercubes with respect to $χ_{D}$ . Our...

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...

Characterization by intersection graph of some families of finite nonsimple groups

Hossein Shahsavari, Behrooz Khosravi (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For a finite group $G$ , $Γ (G)$ , the intersection graph of $G$ , is a simple graph whose vertices are all nontrivial proper subgroups of $G$ and two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent when $H \cap K \neq 1$ . In this paper, we classify all finite nonsimple groups whose intersection graphs have a leaf and also we discuss the characterizability of them using their intersection graphs.

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...

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 $\sum_{z \in E_{G} (u) \cup {u}} φ (z) \neq \sum_{z \in E_{G} (v) \cup {v}} φ (z)$ for each edge $u v \in E (G)$ . 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 $Δ \geq 11$ but without $5$ -cycles by applying the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz.

On the intersection graph of a finite group

Hossein Shahsavari, Behrooz Khosravi (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For a finite group $G$ , the intersection graph of $G$ which is denoted by $Γ (G)$ is an undirected graph such that its vertices are all nontrivial proper subgroups of $G$ and two distinct vertices $H$ and $K$ are adjacent when $H \cap K \neq 1$ . In this paper we classify all finite groups whose intersection graphs are regular. Also, we find some results on the intersection graphs of simple groups and finally we study the structure of $Aut (Γ (G))$ .

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)...

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, $| l k (Q_{i}, Q_{j}) | \geq α$ and $| a ₂ (Q_{i}) | \geq α$ , where $a ₂ (Q_{i})$ denotes the second coefficient of the Conway polynomial of $Q_{i}$ .

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 $γ_{\times k} (G)$ of G is the minimum cardinality of a k-tuple dominating set S, a set that for every vertex v ∈ V, $| N_{G} [v] \cap S | \geq k$ . Also the total k-domination number $γ_{\times k, t} (G)$ of G is the minimum cardinality of a total k -dominating set S, a set that for every vertex v ∈ V, $| N_{G} (v) \cap S | \geq k$ . 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...

We determine upper bounds for $γ (Q n^{t})$ and $i (Q ₙ^{t})$ , the domination and independent domination numbers, respectively, of the graph $Q ₙ^{t}$ obtained from the moves of queens on the n×n chessboard drawn on the torus.

Note on improper coloring of $1$ -planar graphs

Yanan Chu, Lei Sun, Jun Yue (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph $G = (V, E)$ is called improperly $(d_{1}, \dots, d_{k})$ -colorable if the vertex set $V$ can be partitioned into subsets $V_{1}, \dots, V_{k}$ such that the graph $G [V_{i}]$ induced by the vertices of $V_{i}$ has maximum degree at most $d_{i}$ for all $1 \leq i \leq k$ . In this paper, we mainly study the improper coloring of $1$ -planar graphs and show that $1$ -planar graphs with girth at least $7$ are $(2, 0, 0, 0)$ -colorable.

The extremal irregularity of connected graphs with given number of pendant vertices

Xiaoqian Liu, Xiaodan Chen, Junli Hu, Qiuyun Zhu (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The irregularity of a graph $G = (V, E)$ is defined as the sum of imbalances $| d_{u} - d_{v} |$ over all edges $u v \in E$ , where $d_{u}$ denotes the degree of the vertex $u$ in $G$ . This graph invariant, introduced by Albertson in 1997, is a measure of the defect of regularity of a graph. In this paper, we completely determine the extremal values of the irregularity of connected graphs with $n$ vertices and $p$ pendant vertices ( $1 \leq p \leq n - 1$ ), and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs.
