A characterization of (γₜ,γ₂)-trees

You Lu, Xinmin Hou, Jun-Ming Xu, Ning Li (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let γₜ(G) and γ₂(G) be the total domination number and the 2-domination number of a graph G, respectively. It has been shown that: γₜ(T) ≤ γ₂(T) for any tree T. In this paper, we provide a constructive characterization of those trees with equal total domination number and 2-domination number.

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...

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...

Trees with equal 2-domination and 2-independence numbers

Mustapha Chellali, Nacéra Meddah (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G = (V,E) be a graph. A subset S of V is a 2-dominating set if every vertex of V-S is dominated at least 2 times, and S is a 2-independent set of G if every vertex of S has at most one neighbor in S. The minimum cardinality of a 2-dominating set a of G is the 2-domination number γ₂(G) and the maximum cardinality of a 2-independent set of G is the 2-independence number β₂(G). Fink and Jacobson proved that γ₂(G) ≤ β₂(G) for every graph G. In this paper we provide a constructive characterization...

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...

Trees with unique minimum total dominating sets

Teresa W. Haynes, Michael A. Henning (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A set S of vertices of a graph G is a total dominating set if every vertex of V(G) is adjacent to some vertex in S. We provide three equivalent conditions for a tree to have a unique minimum total dominating set and give a constructive characterization of such trees.

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,...
