Characterization of trees with equal 2-domination number and domination number plus two

Mustapha Chellali, Lutz Volkmann (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V(G),E(G)) be a simple graph, and let k be a positive integer. A subset D of V(G) is a k-dominating set if every vertex of V(G) - D is dominated at least k times by D. The k-domination number γₖ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a k-dominating set of G. In [5] Volkmann showed that for every nontrivial tree T, γ₂(T) ≥ γ₁(T)+1 and characterized extremal trees attaining this bound. In this paper we characterize all trees T with γ₂(T) = γ₁(T)+2.

A lower bound for the irredundance number of trees

Michael Poschen, Lutz Volkmann (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let ir(G) and γ(G) be the irredundance number and domination number of a graph G, respectively. The number of vertices and leaves of a graph G are denoted by n(G) and n₁(G). If T is a tree, then Lemańska [4] presented in 2004 the sharp lower bound γ(T) ≥ (n(T) + 2 - n₁(T))/3. In this paper we prove ir(T) ≥ (n(T) + 2 - n₁(T))/3. for an arbitrary tree T. Since γ(T) ≥ ir(T) is always valid, this inequality is an extension and improvement of...

Completely Independent Spanning Trees in (Partial) k-Trees

Masayoshi Matsushita, Yota Otachi, Toru Araki (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Two spanning trees T1 and T2 of a graph G are completely independent if, for any two vertices u and v, the paths from u to v in T1 and T2 are internally disjoint. For a graph G, we denote the maximum number of pairwise completely independent spanning trees by cist(G). In this paper, we consider cist(G) when G is a partial k-tree. First we show that [k/2] ≤ cist(G) ≤ k − 1 for any k-tree G. Then we show that for any p ∈ {[k/2], . . . , k − 1}, there exist infinitely many k-trees G such...

Characterization Results for theL(2, 1, 1)-Labeling Problem on Trees

Xiaoling Zhang, Kecai Deng (2017)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An L(2, 1, 1)-labeling of a graph G is an assignment of non-negative integers (labels) to the vertices of G such that adjacent vertices receive labels with difference at least 2, and vertices at distance 2 or 3 receive distinct labels. The span of such a labelling is the difference between the maximum and minimum labels used, and the minimum span over all L(2, 1, 1)-labelings of G is called the L(2, 1, 1)-labeling number of G, denoted by λ2,1,1(G). It was shown by King, Ras and Zhou...

Spanning tree congestion of rook's graphs

Kyohei Kozawa, Yota Otachi (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a connected graph and T be a spanning tree of G. For e ∈ E(T), the congestion of e is the number of edges in G joining the two components of T - e. The congestion of T is the maximum congestion over all edges in T. The spanning tree congestion of G is the minimum congestion over all its spanning trees. In this paper, we determine the spanning tree congestion of the rook's graph Kₘ ☐ Kₙ for any m and n.

On a matching distance between rooted phylogenetic trees

Damian Bogdanowicz, Krzysztof Giaro (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The Robinson-Foulds (RF) distance is the most popular method of evaluating the dissimilarity between phylogenetic trees. In this paper, we define and explore in detail properties of the Matching Cluster (MC) distance, which can be regarded as a refinement of the RF metric for rooted trees. Similarly to RF, MC operates on clusters of compared trees, but the distance evaluation is more complex. Using the graph theoretic approach based on a minimum-weight perfect matching in bipartite graphs,...
