On Ramsey $(K_{1, 2}, K ₙ)$ -minimal graphs

Mariusz Hałuszczak (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let F be a graph and let , denote nonempty families of graphs. We write F → (,) if in any 2-coloring of edges of F with red and blue, there is a red subgraph isomorphic to some graph from G or a blue subgraph isomorphic to some graph from H. The graph F without isolated vertices is said to be a (,)-minimal graph if F → (,) and F - e not → (,) for every e ∈ E(F). We present a technique which allows to generate infinite family of (,)-minimal graphs if we know some special graphs. In particular,...

Upper bounds on the b-chromatic number and results for restricted graph classes

Mais Alkhateeb, Anja Kohl (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A b-coloring of a graph G by k colors is a proper vertex coloring such that every color class contains a color-dominating vertex, that is, a vertex having neighbors in all other k-1 color classes. The b-chromatic number $χ_{b} (G)$ is the maximum integer k for which G has a b-coloring by k colors. Moreover, the graph G is called b-continuous if G admits a b-coloring by k colors for all k satisfying $χ (G) \leq k \leq χ_{b} (G)$ . In this paper, we establish four general upper bounds on $χ_{b} (G)$ . We present results on the b-chromatic...

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, $χ (G) \leq χ_{f} (G)$ . 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...

3-consecutive c-colorings of graphs

Csilla Bujtás, E. Sampathkumar, Zsolt Tuza, M.S. Subramanya, Charles Dominic (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A 3-consecutive C-coloring of a graph G = (V,E) is a mapping φ:V → ℕ such that every path on three vertices has at most two colors. We prove general estimates on the maximum number ${(χ ̅)}_{3 C C} (G)$ of colors in a 3-consecutive C-coloring of G, and characterize the structure of connected graphs with ${(χ ̅)}_{3 C C} (G) \geq k$ for k = 3 and k = 4.

Hajós' theorem for list colorings of hypergraphs

Claude Benzaken, Sylvain Gravier, Riste Skrekovski (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A well-known theorem of Hajós claims that every graph with chromathic number greater than k can be constructed from disjoint copies of the complete graph $K_{k + 1}$ by repeated application of three simple operations. This classical result has been extended in 1978 to colorings of hypergraphs by C. Benzaken and in 1996 to list-colorings of graphs by S. Gravier. In this note, we capture both variations to extend Hajós’ theorem to list-colorings of hypergraphs.

Acyclic reducible bounds for outerplanar graphs

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Anna Fiedorowicz, Mariusz Hałuszczak (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a given graph G and a sequence ₁, ₂,..., ₙ of additive hereditary classes of graphs we define an acyclic (₁, ₂,...,Pₙ)-colouring of G as a partition (V₁, V₂,...,Vₙ) of the set V(G) of vertices which satisfies the following two conditions: 1. $G [V_{i}] \in_{i}$ for i = 1,...,n, 2. for every pair i,j of distinct colours the subgraph induced in G by the set of edges uv such that $u \in V_{i}$ and $v \in V_{j}$ is acyclic. A class R = ₁ ⊙ ₂ ⊙ ... ⊙ ₙ is defined as the set of the graphs having an acyclic (₁, ₂,...,Pₙ)-colouring....

On generalized shift graphs

Christian Avart, Tomasz Łuczak, Vojtěch Rödl (2014)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

In 1968 Erdős and Hajnal introduced shift graphs as graphs whose vertices are the k-element subsets of [n] = 1,...,n (or of an infinite cardinal κ ) and with two k-sets $A = a ₁, . . ., a_{k}$ and $B = b ₁, . . ., b_{k}$ joined if $a ₁ < a ₂ = b ₁ < a ₃ = b ₂ < \dots < a_{k} = b_{k - 1} < b_{k}$ . They determined the chromatic number of these graphs. In this paper we extend this definition and study the chromatic number of graphs defined similarly for other types of mutual position with respect to the underlying ordering. As a consequence of our result, we show the existence of a graph with...

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...

Minimal rankings of the Cartesian product Kₙ ☐ Kₘ

Gilbert Eyabi, Jobby Jacob, Renu C. Laskar, Darren A. Narayan, Dan Pillone (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For a graph G = (V, E), a function f:V(G) → 1,2, ...,k is a k-ranking if f(u) = f(v) implies that every u - v path contains a vertex w such that f(w) > f(u). A k-ranking is minimal if decreasing any label violates the definition of ranking. The arank number, $ψ_{r} (G)$ , of G is the maximum value of k such that G has a minimal k-ranking. We completely determine the arank number of the Cartesian product Kₙ ☐ Kₙ, and we investigate the arank number of Kₙ ☐ Kₘ where n > m.

On characterization of uniquely 3-list colorable complete multipartite graphs

Yancai Zhao, Erfang Shan (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For each vertex v of a graph G, if there exists a list of k colors, L(v), such that there is a unique proper coloring for G from this collection of lists, then G is called a uniquely k-list colorable graph. Ghebleh and Mahmoodian characterized uniquely 3-list colorable complete multipartite graphs except for nine graphs: $K_{2, 2, r}$ r ∈ 4,5,6,7,8, $K_{2, 3, 4}$ , $K_{1 * 4, 4}$ , $K_{1 * 4, 5}$ , $K_{1 * 5, 4}$ . Also, they conjectured that the nine graphs are not U3LC graphs. After that, except for $K_{2, 2, r}$ r ∈ 4,5,6,7,8, the others have been proved not...

On choosability of complete multipartite graphs $K_{4, 3 * t, 2 * (k - 2 t - 2), 1 * (t + 1)}$

Guo-Ping Zheng, Yu-Fa Shen, Zuo-Li Chen, Jin-Feng Lv (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A graph G is said to be chromatic-choosable if ch(G) = χ(G). Ohba has conjectured that every graph G with 2χ(G)+1 or fewer vertices is chromatic-choosable. It is clear that Ohba’s conjecture is true if and only if it is true for complete multipartite graphs. In this paper we show that Ohba’s conjecture is true for complete multipartite graphs $K_{4, 3 * t, 2 * (k - 2 t - 2), 1 * (t + 1)}$ for all integers t ≥ 1 and k ≥ 2t+2, that is, $c h (K_{4, 3 * t, 2 * (k - 2 t - 2), 1 * (t + 1)}) = k$ , which extends the results $c h (K_{4, 3, 2 * (k - 4), 1 * 2}) = k$ given by Shen et al. (Discrete Math. 308 (2008) 136-143), and $c h (K_{4, 3 * 2, 2 * (k - 6), 1 * 3}) = k$ ...

Structure of the set of all minimal total dominating functions of some classes of graphs

K. Reji Kumar, Gary MacGillivray (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

In this paper we study some of the structural properties of the set of all minimal total dominating functions ( $_{T}$ ) of cycles and paths and introduce the idea of function reducible graphs and function separable graphs. It is proved that a function reducible graph is a function separable graph. We shall also see how the idea of function reducibility is used to study the structure of $_{T} (G)$ for some classes of graphs.

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 $x_{i} y_{i} \in E (G_{i})$ . 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.

4-cycle properties for characterizing rectagraphs and hypercubes

Khadra Bouanane, Abdelhafid Berrachedi (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A $(0, 2)$ -graph is a connected graph, where each pair of vertices has either 0 or 2 common neighbours. These graphs constitute a subclass of $(0, λ)$ -graphs introduced by Mulder in 1979. A rectagraph, well known in diagram geometry, is a triangle-free $(0, 2)$ -graph. $(0, 2)$ -graphs include hypercubes, folded cube graphs and some particular graphs such as icosahedral graph, Shrikhande graph, Klein graph, Gewirtz graph, etc. In this paper, we give some local properties of 4-cycles in $(0, λ)$ -graphs and more specifically...

Nearly complete graphs decomposable into large induced matchings and their applications

Noga Alon, Ankur Moitra, Benjamin Sudakov (2013)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We describe two constructions of (very) dense graphs which are edge disjoint unions of large induced matchings. The first construction exhibits graphs on $N$ vertices with $(\frac{N}{2}) - o (N^{2})$ edges, which can be decomposed into pairwise disjoint induced matchings, each of size $N^{1 - o (1)}$ . The second construction provides a covering of all edges of the complete graph $K_{N}$ by two graphs, each being the edge disjoint union of at most $N^{2 - δ}$ induced matchings, where $δ > 0, 076$ . This disproves (in a strong form) a conjecture of Meshulam,...

Two variants of the size Ramsey number

Andrzej Kurek, Andrzej Ruciński (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Given a graph H and an integer r ≥ 2, let G → (H,r) denote the Ramsey property of a graph G, that is, every r-coloring of the edges of G results in a monochromatic copy of H. Further, let $m (G) = m a x_{F \subseteq G} | E (F) | / | V (F) |$ and define the Ramsey density $m_{i n f} (H, r)$ as the infimum of m(G) over all graphs G such that G → (H,r). In the first part of this paper we show that when H is a complete graph Kₖ on k vertices, then $m_{i n f} (H, r) = (R - 1) / 2$ , where R = R(k;r) is the classical Ramsey number. As a corollary we derive a new proof of the result credited...

Graph colorings with local constraints - a survey

Zsolt Tuza (1997)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We survey the literature on those variants of the chromatic number problem where not only a proper coloring has to be found (i.e., adjacent vertices must not receive the same color) but some further local restrictions are imposed on the color assignment. Mostly, the list colorings and the precoloring extensions are considered. In one of the most general formulations, a graph G = (V,E), sets L(v) of admissible colors, and natural numbers $c_{v}$ for the vertices v ∈ V are given, and the question...

Upper oriented chromatic number of undirected graphs and oriented colorings of product graphs

Éric Sopena (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The oriented chromatic number of an oriented graph $^{\to} G$ is the minimum order of an oriented graph $^{\to} H$ such that $^{\to} G$ admits a homomorphism to $^{\to} H$ . The oriented chromatic number of an undirected graph G is then the greatest oriented chromatic number of its orientations. In this paper, we introduce the new notion of the upper oriented chromatic number of an undirected graph G, defined as the minimum order of an oriented graph $^{\to} U$ such that every orientation $^{\to} G$ of G admits a homomorphism to $^{\to} U$ . We give...

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...

Criteria for of the existence of uniquely partitionable graphs with respect to additive induced-hereditary properties

Izak Broere, Jozef Bucko, Peter Mihók (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let ₁,₂,...,ₙ be graph properties, a graph G is said to be uniquely (₁,₂, ...,ₙ)-partitionable if there is exactly one (unordered) partition V₁,V₂,...,Vₙ of V(G) such that $G [V_{i}] \in_{i}$ for i = 1,2,...,n. We prove that for additive and induced-hereditary properties uniquely (₁,₂,...,ₙ)-partitionable graphs exist if and only if $_{i}$ and $_{j}$ are either coprime or equal irreducible properties of graphs for every i ≠ j, i,j ∈ 1,2,...,n.

2-halvable complete 4-partite graphs

Dalibor Fronček (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A complete 4-partite graph $K_{m ₁, m ₂, m ₃, m ₄}$ is called d-halvable if it can be decomposed into two isomorphic factors of diameter d. In the class of graphs $K_{m ₁, m ₂, m ₃, m ₄}$ with at most one odd part all d-halvable graphs are known. In the class of biregular graphs $K_{m ₁, m ₂, m ₃, m ₄}$ with four odd parts (i.e., the graphs $K_{m, m, m, n}$ and $K_{m, m, n, n}$ ) all d-halvable graphs are known as well, except for the graphs $K_{m, m, n, n}$ when d = 2 and n ≠ m. We prove that such graphs are 2-halvable iff n,m ≥ 3. We also determine a new class of non-halvable graphs $K_{m ₁, m ₂, m ₃, m ₄}$ with three...

The order of uniquely partitionable graphs

Izak Broere, Marietjie Frick, Peter Mihók (1997)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let ₁,...,ₙ be properties of graphs. A (₁,...,ₙ)-partition of a graph G is a partition V₁,...,Vₙ of V(G) such that, for each i = 1,...,n, the subgraph of G induced by $V_{i}$ has property $_{i}$ . If a graph G has a unique (₁,...,ₙ)-partition we say it is uniquely (₁,...,ₙ)-partitionable. We establish best lower bounds for the order of uniquely (₁,...,ₙ)-partitionable graphs, for various choices of ₁,...,ₙ.

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...
