Edit distance measure for graphs

Tomasz Dzido, Krzysztof Krzywdziński (2015)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

In this paper, we investigate a measure of similarity of graphs similar to the Ramsey number. We present values and bounds for $g (n, l)$ , the biggest number $k$ guaranteeing that there exist $l$ graphs on $n$ vertices, each two having edit distance at least $k$ . By edit distance of two graphs $G$ , $F$ we mean the number of edges needed to be added to or deleted from graph $G$ to obtain graph $F$ . This new extremal number $g (n, l)$ is closely linked to the edit distance of graphs. Using probabilistic methods we show...

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...

Embedding products of graphs into Euclidean spaces

Mikhail Skopenkov (2003)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For any collection of graphs $G ₁, . . ., G_{N}$ we find the minimal dimension d such that the product $G ₁ \times . . . \times G_{N}$ is embeddable into $ℝ^{d}$ (see Theorem 1 below). In particular, we prove that (K₅)ⁿ and $(K_{3, 3}) ⁿ$ are not embeddable into $ℝ^{2 n}$ , where K₅ and $K_{3, 3}$ are the Kuratowski graphs. This is a solution of a problem of Menger from 1929. The idea of the proof is a reduction to a problem from so-called Ramsey link theory: we show that any embedding $L k O \to S^{2 n - 1}$ , where O is a vertex of (K₅)ⁿ, has a pair of linked (n-1)-spheres.

Note on improper coloring of $1$ -planar graphs

Yanan Chu, Lei Sun, Jun Yue (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph $G = (V, E)$ is called improperly $(d_{1}, \dots, d_{k})$ -colorable if the vertex set $V$ can be partitioned into subsets $V_{1}, \dots, V_{k}$ such that the graph $G [V_{i}]$ induced by the vertices of $V_{i}$ has maximum degree at most $d_{i}$ for all $1 \leq i \leq k$ . In this paper, we mainly study the improper coloring of $1$ -planar graphs and show that $1$ -planar graphs with girth at least $7$ are $(2, 0, 0, 0)$ -colorable.

Generalized connectivity of some total graphs

Yinkui Li, Yaping Mao, Zhao Wang, Zongtian Wei (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We study the generalized $k$ -connectivity $κ_{k} (G)$ as introduced by Hager in 1985, as well as the more recently introduced generalized $k$ -edge-connectivity $λ_{k} (G)$ . We determine the exact value of $κ_{k} (G)$ and $λ_{k} (G)$ for the line graphs and total graphs of trees, unicyclic graphs, and also for complete graphs for the case $k = 3$ .

Vladimír Lacko (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

For the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) on Halin graphs with three types of cost functions: sum, bottleneck and balanced and with arbitrary real edge costs we compute in polynomial time the persistency partition $E_{A l l}$ , $E_{S o m e}$ , $E_{N o n e}$ of the edge set E, where: $E_{A l l}$ = e ∈ E, e belongs to all optimum solutions, $E_{N o n e}$ = e ∈ E, e does not belong to any optimum solution and $E_{S o m e}$ = e ∈ E, e belongs to some but not to all optimum solutions.

Saturation numbers for linear forests $P_{6} + t P_{2}$

Jingru Yan (2023)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph $G$ is $H$ -saturated if it contains no $H$ as a subgraph, but does contain $H$ after the addition of any edge in the complement of $G$ . The saturation number, $sat (n, H)$ , is the minimum number of edges of a graph in the set of all $H$ -saturated graphs of order $n$ . We determine the saturation number $sat (n, P_{6} + t P_{2})$ for $n \geq \frac{10}{3} t + 10$ and characterize the extremal graphs for $n > \frac{10}{3} t + 20$ .

Note on a conjecture for the sum of signless Laplacian eigenvalues

Xiaodan Chen, Guoliang Hao, Dequan Jin, Jingjian Li (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

For a simple graph $G$ on $n$ vertices and an integer $k$ with $1 \leq k \leq n$ , denote by $𝒮_{k}^{+} (G)$ the sum of $k$ largest signless Laplacian eigenvalues of $G$ . It was conjectured that $𝒮_{k}^{+} (G) \leq e (G) + (\binom{k + 1}{2})$ , where $e (G)$ is the number of edges of $G$ . This conjecture has been proved to be true for all graphs when $k \in {1, 2, n - 1, n}$ , and for trees, unicyclic graphs, bicyclic graphs and regular graphs (for all $k$ ). In this note, this conjecture is proved to be true for all graphs when $k = n - 2$ , and for some new classes of graphs.

On distinguishing and distinguishing chromatic numbers of hypercubes

Werner Klöckl (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The distinguishing number D(G) of a graph G is the least integer d such that G has a labeling with d colors that is not preserved by any nontrivial automorphism. The restriction to proper labelings leads to the definition of the distinguishing chromatic number $χ_{D} (G)$ of G. Extending these concepts to infinite graphs we prove that $D (Q_{ℵ} ₀) = 2$ and $χ_{D} (Q_{ℵ} ₀) = 3$ , where $Q_{ℵ} ₀$ denotes the hypercube of countable dimension. We also show that $χ_{D} (Q ₄) = 4$ , thereby completing the investigation of finite hypercubes with respect to $χ_{D}$ . Our...

On the multiplicity of Laplacian eigenvalues for unicyclic graphs

Fei Wen, Qiongxiang Huang (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and $U$ a unicyclic graph with the same order. We firstly give a sharp bound for $m_{G} (μ)$ , the multiplicity of a Laplacian eigenvalue $μ$ of $G$ . As a straightforward result, $m_{U} (1) \leq n - 2$ . We then provide two graph operations (i.e., grafting and shifting) on graph $G$ for which the value of $m_{G} (1)$ is nondecreasing. As applications, we get the distribution of $m_{U} (1)$ for unicyclic graphs on $n$ vertices. Moreover, for the two largest possible values of $m_{U} (1) \in {n - 5, n - 3}$ , the corresponding graphs $U$ are...

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...

Degree sums of adjacent vertices for traceability of claw-free graphs

Tao Tian, Liming Xiong, Zhi-Hong Chen, Shipeng Wang (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The line graph of a graph $G$ , denoted by $L (G)$ , has $E (G)$ as its vertex set, where two vertices in $L (G)$ are adjacent if and only if the corresponding edges in $G$ have a vertex in common. For a graph $H$ , define ${\bar{σ}}_{2} (H) = min {d (u) + d (v) : u v \in E (H)}$ . Let $H$ be a 2-connected claw-free simple graph of order $n$ with $δ (H) \geq 3$ . We show that, if ${\bar{σ}}_{2} (H) \geq \frac{1}{7} (2 n - 5)$ and $n$ is sufficiently large, then either $H$ is traceable or the Ryjáček’s closure $cl (H) = L (G)$ , where $G$ is an essentially $2$ -edge-connected triangle-free graph that can be contracted to one of the two graphs of order 10...
