Stronger bounds for generalized degrees and Menger path systems

R.J. Faudree, Zs. Tuza (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For positive integers d and m, let P d , m ( G ) denote the property that between each pair of vertices of the graph G, there are m internally vertex disjoint paths of length at most d. For a positive integer t a graph G satisfies the minimum generalized degree condition δₜ(G) ≥ s if the cardinality of the union of the neighborhoods of each set of t vertices of G is at least s. Generalized degree conditions that ensure that P d , m ( G ) is satisfied have been investigated. In particular, it has been shown,...

On locating-domination in graphs

Mustapha Chellali, Malika Mimouni, Peter J. Slater (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A set D of vertices in a graph G = (V,E) is a locating-dominating set (LDS) if for every two vertices u,v of V-D the sets N(u)∩ D and N(v)∩ D are non-empty and different. The locating-domination number γ L ( G ) is the minimum cardinality of a LDS of G, and the upper locating-domination number, Γ L ( G ) is the maximum cardinality of a minimal LDS of G. We present different bounds on Γ L ( G ) and γ L ( G ) .

Halina Bielak, Sebastian Kieliszek (2014)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

Let e x ( n , G ) denote the maximum number of edges in a graph on n vertices which does not contain G as a subgraph. Let P i denote a path consisting of i vertices and let m P i denote m disjoint copies of P i . In this paper we count e x ( n , 3 P 4 ) .

On the diameter of the intersection graph of a finite simple group

Xuanlong Ma (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let G be a finite group. The intersection graph Δ G of G is an undirected graph without loops and multiple edges defined as follows: the vertex set is the set of all proper nontrivial subgroups of G , and two distinct vertices X and Y are adjacent if X Y 1 , where 1 denotes the trivial subgroup of order 1 . A question was posed by Shen (2010) whether the diameters of intersection graphs of finite non-abelian simple groups have an upper bound. We answer the question and show that the diameters...

2-factors in claw-free graphs with locally disconnected vertices

Mingqiang An, Liming Xiong, Runli Tian (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

An edge of G is singular if it does not lie on any triangle of G ; otherwise, it is non-singular. A vertex u of a graph G is called locally connected if the induced subgraph G [ N ( u ) ] by its neighborhood is connected; otherwise, it is called locally disconnected. In this paper, we prove that if a connected claw-free graph G of order at least three satisfies the following two conditions: (i) for each locally disconnected vertex v of degree at least 3 in G , there is a nonnegative integer s such...

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...

Full domination in graphs

Robert C. Brigham, Gary Chartrand, Ronald D. Dutton, Ping Zhang (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For each vertex v in a graph G, let there be associated a subgraph H v of G. The vertex v is said to dominate H v as well as dominate each vertex and edge of H v . A set S of vertices of G is called a full dominating set if every vertex of G is dominated by some vertex of S, as is every edge of G. The minimum cardinality of a full dominating set of G is its full domination number γ F H ( G ) . A full dominating set of G of cardinality γ F H ( G ) is called a γ F H -set of G. We study three types of full domination in...

Some remarks on α-domination

Franz Dahme, Dieter Rautenbach, Lutz Volkmann (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let α ∈ (0,1) and let G = ( V G , E G ) be a graph. According to Dunbar, Hoffman, Laskar and Markus [3] a set D V G is called an α-dominating set of G, if | N G ( u ) D | α d G ( u ) for all u V G D . We prove a series of upper bounds on the α-domination number of a graph G defined as the minimum cardinality of an α-dominating set of G.

On the bounds of Laplacian eigenvalues of k -connected graphs

Xiaodan Chen, Yaoping Hou (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let μ n - 1 ( G ) be the algebraic connectivity, and let μ 1 ( G ) be the Laplacian spectral radius of a k -connected graph G with n vertices and m edges. In this paper, we prove that μ n - 1 ( G ) 2 n k 2 ( n ( n - 1 ) - 2 m ) ( n + k - 2 ) + 2 k 2 , with equality if and only if G is the complete graph K n or K n - e . Moreover, if G is non-regular, then μ 1 ( G ) < 2 Δ - 2 ( n Δ - 2 m ) k 2 2 ( n Δ - 2 m ) ( n 2 - 2 n + 2 k ) + n k 2 , where Δ stands for the maximum degree of G . Remark that in some cases, these two inequalities improve some previously known results.

On the adjacent eccentric distance sum of graphs

Halina Bielak, Katarzyna Wolska (2014)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

In this paper we show bounds for the adjacent eccentric distance sum of graphs in terms of Wiener index, maximum degree and minimum degree. We extend some earlier results of Hua and Yu [Bounds for the Adjacent Eccentric Distance Sum, International Mathematical Forum, Vol. 7 (2002) no. 26, 1289–1294]. The adjacent eccentric distance sum index of the graph G is defined as ξ s v ( G ) = v V ( G ) ε ( v ) D ( v ) d e g ( v ) , where ε ( v ) is the eccentricity of the vertex v , d e g ( v ) is the degree of the vertex v and D ( v ) = u V ( G ) d ( u , v ) is the sum of all distances from...

Some properties of generalized distance eigenvalues of graphs

Yuzheng Ma, Yan Ling Shao (2024)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let G be a simple connected graph with vertex set V ( G ) = { v 1 , v 2 , , v n } and edge set E ( G ) , and let d v i be the degree of the vertex v i . Let D ( G ) be the distance matrix and let T r ( G ) be the diagonal matrix of the vertex transmissions of G . The generalized distance matrix of G is defined as D α ( G ) = α T r ( G ) + ( 1 - α ) D ( G ) , where 0 α 1 . Let λ 1 ( D α ( G ) ) λ 2 ( D α ( G ) ) ... λ n ( D α ( G ) ) be the generalized distance eigenvalues of G , and let k be an integer with 1 k n . We denote by S k ( D α ( G ) ) = λ 1 ( D α ( G ) ) + λ 2 ( D α ( G ) ) + ... + λ k ( D α ( G ) ) the sum of the k largest generalized distance eigenvalues. The generalized distance spread of a graph G is defined as D α S ( G ) = λ 1 ( D α ( G ) ) - λ n ( D α ( G ) ) ....

A note on solvable vertex stabilizers of s -transitive graphs of prime valency

Song-Tao Guo, Hailong Hou, Yong Xu (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph X , with a group G of automorphisms of X , is said to be ( G , s ) -transitive, for some s 1 , if G is transitive on s -arcs but not on ( s + 1 ) -arcs. Let X be a connected ( G , s ) -transitive graph of prime valency p 5 , and G v the vertex stabilizer of a vertex v V ( X ) . Suppose that G v is solvable. Weiss (1974) proved that | G v | p ( p - 1 ) 2 . In this paper, we prove that G v ( p m ) × n for some positive integers m and n such that n div m and m p - 1 .

Nonempty intersection of longest paths in a graph with a small matching number

Fuyuan Chen (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A maximum matching of a graph G is a matching of G with the largest number of edges. The matching number of a graph G , denoted by α ' ( G ) , is the number of edges in a maximum matching of G . In 1966, Gallai conjectured that all the longest paths of a connected graph have a common vertex. Although this conjecture has been disproved, finding some nice classes of graphs that support this conjecture is still very meaningful and interesting. In this short note, we prove that Gallai’s conjecture...

On path-quasar Ramsey numbers

Binlong Li, Bo Ning (2014)

Annales Universitatis Mariae Curie-Sklodowska, sectio A – Mathematica

Similarity:

Let G 1 and G 2 be two given graphs. The Ramsey number R ( G 1 , G 2 ) is the least integer r such that for every graph G on r vertices, either G contains a G 1 or G ¯ contains a G 2 . Parsons gave a recursive formula to determine the values of R ( P n , K 1 , m ) , where P n is a path on n vertices and K 1 , m is a star on m + 1 vertices. In this note, we study the Ramsey numbers R ( P n , K 1 F m ) , where F m is a linear forest on m vertices. We determine the exact values of R ( P n , K 1 F m ) for the cases m n and m 2 n , and for the case that F m has no odd component. Moreover, we...
