On the Non-(p−1)-Partite Kp-Free Graphs

Kinnari Amin, Jill Faudree, Ronald J. Gould, Elżbieta Sidorowicz (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We say that a graph G is maximal Kp-free if G does not contain Kp but if we add any new edge e ∈ E(G) to G, then the graph G + e contains Kp. We study the minimum and maximum size of non-(p − 1)-partite maximal Kp-free graphs with n vertices. We also answer the interpolation question: for which values of n and m are there any n-vertex maximal Kp-free graphs of size m?

Paired-domination

S. Fitzpatrick, B. Hartnell (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

We are interested in dominating sets (of vertices) with the additional property that the vertices in the dominating set can be paired or matched via existing edges in the graph. This could model the situation of guards or police where each has a partner or backup. This paper will focus on those graphs in which the number of matched pairs of a minimum dominating set of this type equals the size of some maximal matching in the graph. In particular, we characterize the leafless graphs of...

γ-graphs of graphs

Gerd H. Fricke, Sandra M. Hedetniemi, Stephen T. Hedetniemi, Kevin R. Hutson (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

A set S ⊆ V is a dominating set of a graph G = (V,E) if every vertex in V -S is adjacent to at least one vertex in S. The domination number γ(G) of G equals the minimum cardinality of a dominating set S in G; we say that such a set S is a γ-set. In this paper we consider the family of all γ-sets in a graph G and we define the γ-graph G(γ) = (V(γ), E(γ)) of G to be the graph whose vertices V(γ) correspond 1-to-1 with the γ-sets of G, and two γ-sets, say D₁ and D₂, are adjacent in E(γ)...

On the p-domination number of cactus graphs

Mostafa Blidia, Mustapha Chellali, Lutz Volkmann (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

Let p be a positive integer and G = (V,E) a graph. A subset S of V is a p-dominating set if every vertex of V-S is dominated at least p times. The minimum cardinality of a p-dominating set a of G is the p-domination number γₚ(G). It is proved for a cactus graph G that γₚ(G) ⩽ (|V| + |Lₚ(G)| + c(G))/2, for every positive integer p ⩾ 2, where Lₚ(G) is the set of vertices of G of degree at most p-1 and c(G) is the number of odd cycles in G.

Minimal claw-free graphs

P. Dankelmann, Henda C. Swart, P. van den Berg, Wayne Goddard, M. D. Plummer (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph G is a minimal claw-free graph (m.c.f. graph) if it contains no K 1 , 3 (claw) as an induced subgraph and if, for each edge e of G , G - e contains an induced claw. We investigate properties of m.c.f. graphs, establish sharp bounds on their orders and the degrees of their vertices, and characterize graphs which have m.c.f. line graphs.

Gallai and anti-Gallai graphs of a graph

S. Aparna Lakshmanan, S. B. Rao, A. Vijayakumar (2007)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

The paper deals with graph operators—the Gallai graphs and the anti-Gallai graphs. We prove the existence of a finite family of forbidden subgraphs for the Gallai graphs and the anti-Gallai graphs to be H -free for any finite graph H . The case of complement reducible graphs—cographs is discussed in detail. Some relations between the chromatic number, the radius and the diameter of a graph and its Gallai and anti-Gallai graphs are also obtained.

Graphs with disjoint dominating and paired-dominating sets

Justin Southey, Michael Henning (2010)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

A dominating set of a graph is a set of vertices such that every vertex not in the set is adjacent to a vertex in the set, while a paired-dominating set of a graph is a dominating set such that the subgraph induced by the dominating set contains a perfect matching. In this paper, we show that no minimum degree is sufficient to guarantee the existence of a disjoint dominating set and a paired-dominating set. However, we prove that the vertex set of every cubic graph can be partitioned...
