Similarity:

Let G be an undirected simple connected graph, and e = u v be an edge of G . Let N G ( e ) be the subgraph of G induced by the set of all vertices of G which are not incident to e but are adjacent to u or v . Let 𝒩 e be the class of all graphs H such that, for some graph G , N G ( e ) ≅ H for every edge e of G . Zelinka [3] studied edge neighborhood graphs and obtained some special graphs in 𝒩 e . Balasubramanian and Alsardary [1] obtained some other graphs in 𝒩 e . In this paper we given some new graphs in 𝒩 e .

Edge-connectivity of strong products of graphs

Bostjan Bresar, Simon Spacapan (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The strong product G₁ ⊠ G₂ of graphs G₁ and G₂ is the graph with V(G₁)×V(G₂) as the vertex set, and two distinct vertices (x₁,x₂) and (y₁,y₂) are adjacent whenever for each i ∈ 1,2 either x i = y i or x i y i ∈ E ( G i ) . In this note we show that for two connected graphs G₁ and G₂ the edge-connectivity λ (G₁ ⊠ G₂) equals minδ(G₁ ⊠ G₂), λ(G₁)(|V(G₂)| + 2|E(G₂)|), λ(G₂)(|V(G₁)| + 2|E(G₁)|). In addition, we fully describe the structure of possible minimum edge cut sets in strong products of graphs.

Independent cycles and paths in bipartite balanced graphs

Beata Orchel, A. Paweł Wojda (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Bipartite graphs G = (L,R;E) and H = (L’,R’;E’) are bi-placeabe if there is a bijection f:L∪R→ L’∪R’ such that f(L) = L’ and f(u)f(v) ∉ E’ for every edge uv ∈ E. We prove that if G and H are two bipartite balanced graphs of order |G| = |H| = 2p ≥ 4 such that the sizes of G and H satisfy ||G|| ≤ 2p-3 and ||H|| ≤ 2p-2, and the maximum degree of H is at most 2, then G and H are bi-placeable, unless G and H is one of easily recognizable couples of graphs. This result implies easily that...

Radio numbers for generalized prism graphs

Paul Martinez, Juan Ortiz, Maggy Tomova, Cindy Wyels (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A radio labeling is an assignment c:V(G) → N such that every distinct pair of vertices u,v satisfies the inequality d(u,v) + |c(u)-c(v)| ≥ diam(G) + 1. The span of a radio labeling is the maximum value. The radio number of G, rn(G), is the minimum span over all radio labelings of G. Generalized prism graphs, denoted Z n , s , s ≥ 1, n ≥ s, have vertex set (i,j) | i = 1,2 and j = 1,...,n and edge set ((i,j),(i,j ±1)) ∪ ((1,i),(2,i+σ)) | σ = -⌊(s-1)/2⌋...,0,...,⌊s/2⌋. In this paper we determine...

Rotation and jump distances between graphs

Gary Chartrand, Heather Gavlas, Héctor Hevia, Mark A. Johnson (1997)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph H is obtained from a graph G by an edge rotation if G contains three distinct vertices u,v, and w such that uv ∈ E(G), uw ∉ E(G), and H = G-uv+uw. A graph H is obtained from a graph G by an edge jump if G contains four distinct vertices u,v,w, and x such that uv ∈ E(G), wx∉ E(G), and H = G-uv+wx. If a graph H is obtained from a graph G by a sequence of edge jumps, then G is said to be j-transformed into H. It is shown that for every two graphs G and H of the same order (at least...

An additive hereditary property of graphs is a class of simple graphs which is closed under unions, subgraphs and isomorphisms. Let and be hereditary properties of graphs. The generalized edge-chromatic number ρ ' ( ) is defined as the least integer n such that ⊆ n. We investigate the generalized edge-chromatic numbers of the properties → H, ₖ, ₖ, *ₖ, ₖ and ₖ.

A note on maximal common subgraphs of the Dirac's family of graphs

Jozef Bucko, Peter Mihók, Jean-François Saclé, Mariusz Woźniak (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let ⁿ be a given set of unlabeled simple graphs of order n. A maximal common subgraph of the graphs of the set ⁿ is a common subgraph F of order n of each member of ⁿ, that is not properly contained in any larger common subgraph of each member of ⁿ. By well-known Dirac’s Theorem, the Dirac’s family ⁿ of the graphs of order n and minimum degree δ ≥ [n/2] has a maximal common subgraph containing Cₙ. In this note we study the problem of determining all maximal common subgraphs of the Dirac’s...

Graceful signed graphs

Mukti Acharya, Tarkeshwar Singh (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A ( p , q ) -sigraph S is an ordered pair ( G , s ) where G = ( V , E ) is a ( p , q ) -graph and s is a function which assigns to each edge of G a positive or a negative sign. Let the sets E + and E - consist of m positive and n negative edges of G , respectively, where m + n = q . Given positive integers k and d , S is said to be ( k , d ) -graceful if the vertices of G can be labeled with distinct integers from the set { 0 , 1 , ⋯ , k + ( q - 1 ) d } such that when each edge u v of G is assigned the product of its sign and the absolute difference of the integers assigned to...

Maximum Edge-Colorings Of Graphs

Stanislav Jendrol’, Michaela Vrbjarová (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

An r-maximum k-edge-coloring of G is a k-edge-coloring of G having a property that for every vertex v of degree dG(v) = d, d ≥ r, the maximum color, that is present at vertex v, occurs at v exactly r times. The r-maximum index [...] χr′(G) χ r ' ( G ) is defined to be the minimum number k of colors needed for an r-maximum k-edge-coloring of graph G. In this paper we show that [...] χr′(G)≤3 χ r ' ( G ) ≤ 3 for any nontrivial connected graph G and r = 1 or 2. The bound 3 is tight. All graphs G with [...] χ1′(G)=i...

The signed matchings in graphs

Changping Wang (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A signed matching is a function x: E(G) → -1,1 satisfying ∑ e ∈ E G ( v ) x ( e ) ≤ 1 for every v ∈ V(G), where E G ( v ) = u v ∈ E ( G ) | u ∈ V ( G ) . The maximum of the values of ∑ e ∈ E ( G ) x ( e ) , taken over all signed matchings x, is called the signed matching number and is denoted by β’₁(G). In this paper, we study the complexity of the maximum signed matching problem. We show that a maximum signed matching can be found in strongly polynomial-time. We present sharp upper and lower bounds on β’₁(G) for...

Multicolor Ramsey numbers for paths and cycles

Tomasz Dzido (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For given graphs G₁,G₂,...,Gₖ, k ≥ 2, the multicolor Ramsey number R(G₁,G₂,...,Gₖ) is the smallest integer n such that if we arbitrarily color the edges of the complete graph on n vertices with k colors, then it is always a monochromatic copy of some G i , for 1 ≤ i ≤ k. We give a lower bound for k-color Ramsey number R(Cₘ,Cₘ,...,Cₘ), where m ≥ 8 is even and Cₘ is the cycle on m vertices. In addition, we provide exact values for Ramsey numbers R(P₃,Cₘ,Cₚ), where P₃ is the path on 3 vertices,...

Fall coloring of graphs I

Rangaswami Balakrishnan, T. Kavaskar (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A fall coloring of a graph G is a proper coloring of the vertex set of G such that every vertex of G is a color dominating vertex in G (that is, it has at least one neighbor in each of the other color classes). The fall coloring number χ f ( G ) of G is the minimum size of a fall color partition of G (when it exists). Trivially, for any graph G, χ ( G ) ≤ χ f ( G ) . In this paper, we show the existence of an infinite family of graphs G with prescribed values for χ(G) and χ f ( G ) . We also obtain the smallest non-fall...

On ( 4 , 1 ) * -choosability of toroidal graphs without chordal 7-cycles and adjacent 4-cycles

Haihui Zhang (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

A graph G is called ( k , d ) * -choosable if for every list assignment L satisfying | L ( v ) | = k for all v ∈ V ( G ) , there is an L -coloring of G such that each vertex of G has at most d neighbors colored with the same color as itself. In this paper, it is proved that every toroidal graph without chordal 7-cycles and adjacent 4-cycles is ( 4 , 1 ) * -choosable.
