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.

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...

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 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 $X \cap Y \neq 1$ , 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...

Wiener and vertex PI indices of the strong product of graphs

K. Pattabiraman, P. Paulraja (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The Wiener index of a connected graph G, denoted by W(G), is defined as $½ \sum_{u, v \in V (G)} d_{G} (u, v)$ . Similarly, the hyper-Wiener index of a connected graph G, denoted by WW(G), is defined as $½ W (G) + ¼ \sum_{u, v \in V (G)} d ²_{G} (u, v)$ . The vertex Padmakar-Ivan (vertex PI) index of a graph G is the sum over all edges uv of G of the number of vertices which are not equidistant from u and v. In this paper, the exact formulae for Wiener, hyper-Wiener and vertex PI indices of the strong product $G ⊠ K_{m ₀, m ₁, . . ., m_{r - 1}}$ , where $K_{m ₀, m ₁, . . ., m_{r - 1}}$ is the complete multipartite graph with partite sets...

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...

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 $D \subseteq V_{G}$ is called an α-dominating set of G, if $| N_{G} (u) \cap D | \geq α d_{G} (u)$ for all $u \in V_{G} ∖ D$ . 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 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...

Paired domination in prisms of graphs

Christina M. Mynhardt, Mark Schurch (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The paired domination number $γ_{p r} (G)$ of a graph G is the smallest cardinality of a dominating set S of G such that ⟨S⟩ has a perfect matching. The generalized prisms πG of G are the graphs obtained by joining the vertices of two disjoint copies of G by |V(G)| independent edges. We provide characterizations of the following three classes of graphs: $γ_{p r} (π G) = 2 γ_{p r} (G)$ for all πG; $γ_{p r} (K ₂ ☐ G) = 2 γ_{p r} (G)$ ; $γ_{p r} (K ₂ ☐ G) = γ_{p r} (G)$ .

Roman bondage in graphs

Nader Jafari Rad, Lutz Volkmann (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A Roman dominating function on a graph G is a function f:V(G) → 0,1,2 satisfying the condition that every vertex u for which f(u) = 0 is adjacent to at least one vertex v for which f(v) = 2. The weight of a Roman dominating function is the value $f (V (G)) = \sum_{u \in V (G)} f (u)$ . The Roman domination number, $γ_{R} (G)$ , of G is the minimum weight of a Roman dominating function on G. In this paper, we define the Roman bondage $b_{R} (G)$ of a graph G with maximum degree at least two to be the minimum cardinality of all sets E’ ⊆ E(G)...

On a characterization of $k$ -trees

De-Yan Zeng, Jian Hua Yin (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph $G$ is a $k$ -tree if either $G$ is the complete graph on $k + 1$ vertices, or $G$ has a vertex $v$ whose neighborhood is a clique of order $k$ and the graph obtained by removing $v$ from $G$ is also a $k$ -tree. Clearly, a $k$ -tree has at least $k + 1$ vertices, and $G$ is a 1-tree (usual tree) if and only if it is a $1$ -connected graph and has no $K_{3}$ -minor. In this paper, motivated by some properties of 2-trees, we obtain a characterization of $k$ -trees as follows: if $G$ is a graph with at least $k + 1$ vertices, then $G$ is...

Edge-colouring of graphs and hereditary graph properties

Samantha Dorfling, Tomáš Vetrík (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Edge-colourings of graphs have been studied for decades. We study edge-colourings with respect to hereditary graph properties. For a graph $G$ , a hereditary graph property $𝒫$ and $l \geq 1$ we define $χ_{𝒫, l}^{'} (G)$ to be the minimum number of colours needed to properly colour the edges of $G$ , such that any subgraph of $G$ induced by edges coloured by (at most) $l$ colours is in $𝒫$ . We present a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of $χ_{𝒫, l}^{'} (G)$ . We focus on edge-colourings of graphs with respect to the hereditary...

Turán's problem and Ramsey numbers for trees

Zhi-Hong Sun, Lin-Lin Wang, Yi-Li Wu (2015)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let T¹ₙ = (V,E₁) and T²ₙ = (V,E₂) be the trees on n vertices with $V = v ₀, v ₁, . . ., v_{n - 1}$ , $E ₁ = v ₀ v ₁, . . ., v ₀ v_{n - 3}, v_{n - 4} v_{n - 2}, v_{n - 3} v_{n - 1}$ and $E ₂ = v ₀ v ₁, . . ., v ₀ v_{n - 3}, v_{n - 3} v_{n - 2}, v_{n - 3} v_{n - 1}$ . For p ≥ n ≥ 5 we obtain explicit formulas for ex(p;T¹ₙ) and ex(p;T²ₙ), where ex(p;L) denotes the maximal number of edges in a graph of order p not containing L as a subgraph. Let r(G₁,G₂) be the Ramsey number of the two graphs G₁ and G₂. We also obtain some explicit formulas for $r (T ₘ, T ₙ^{i})$ , where i ∈ 1,2 and Tₘ is a tree on m vertices with Δ(Tₘ) ≤ m - 3.

A note on the independent domination number versus the domination number in bipartite graphs

Shaohui Wang, Bing Wei (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $γ (G)$ and $i (G)$ be the domination number and the independent domination number of $G$ , respectively. Rad and Volkmann posted a conjecture that $i (G) / γ (G) \leq Δ (G) / 2$ for any graph $G$ , where $Δ (G)$ is its maximum degree (see N. J. Rad, L. Volkmann (2013)). In this work, we verify the conjecture for bipartite graphs. Several graph classes attaining the extremal bound and graphs containing odd cycles with the ratio larger than $Δ (G) / 2$ are provided as well.

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 $e x (n, 3 P_{4})$ .
