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...

Unicyclic graphs with bicyclic inverses

Swarup Kumar Panda (2017)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

A graph is nonsingular if its adjacency matrix $A (G)$ is nonsingular. The inverse of a nonsingular graph $G$ is a graph whose adjacency matrix is similar to $A {(G)}^{- 1}$ via a particular type of similarity. Let $ℋ$ denote the class of connected bipartite graphs with unique perfect matchings. Tifenbach and Kirkland (2009) characterized the unicyclic graphs in $ℋ$ which possess unicyclic inverses. We present a characterization of unicyclic graphs in $ℋ$ which possess bicyclic inverses.

On 𝓕-independence in graphs

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.

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 $k = 3$ .

The spectral determinations of the connected multicone graphs $K_{w} ▽ m P_{17}$ and $K_{w} ▽ m S$

Ali Zeydi Abdian, S. Morteza Mirafzal (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Finding and discovering any class of graphs which are determined by their spectra is always an important and interesting problem in the spectral graph theory. The main aim of this study is to characterize two classes of multicone graphs which are determined by both their adjacency and Laplacian spectra. A multicone graph is defined to be the join of a clique and a regular graph. Let $K_{w}$ denote a complete graph on $w$ vertices, and let $m$ be a positive integer number. In A. Z. Abdian (2016)...

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; $γ_{p r} (K ₂ ☐ G) = 2 γ_{p r} (G)$ ; $γ_{p r} (K ₂ ☐ G) = γ_{p r} (G)$ .

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...

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...

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Let $P_{k}$ and $S_{k}$ denote a path and a star, respectively, on $k$ vertices. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a complete ${P_{5}, S_{5}}$ -decomposition of Cartesian product of complete graphs.

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...

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,...

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...

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 $c h (K_{4, 3 * 2, 2 * (k - 6), 1 * 3}) = k$ ...

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 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...

A note on periodicity of the 2-distance operator

Bohdan Zelinka (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Similarity:

The paper solves one problem by E. Prisner concerning the 2-distance operator T₂. This is an operator on the class $C_{f}$ of all finite undirected graphs. If G is a graph from $C_{f}$ , then T₂(G) is the graph with the same vertex set as G in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if their distance in G is 2. E. Prisner asks whether the periodicity ≥ 3 is possible for T₂. In this paper an affirmative answer is given. A result concerning the periodicity 2 is added.

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.

The extremal irregularity of connected graphs with given number of pendant vertices

Xiaoqian Liu, Xiaodan Chen, Junli Hu, Qiuyun Zhu (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

The irregularity of a graph $G = (V, E)$ is defined as the sum of imbalances $| d_{u} - d_{v} |$ over all edges $u v \in E$ , where $d_{u}$ denotes the degree of the vertex $u$ in $G$ . This graph invariant, introduced by Albertson in 1997, is a measure of the defect of regularity of a graph. In this paper, we completely determine the extremal values of the irregularity of connected graphs with $n$ vertices and $p$ pendant vertices ( $1 \leq p \leq n - 1$ ), and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs.

Homogeneous colourings of graphs

Tomáš Madaras, Mária Šurimová (2023)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

A proper vertex $k$ -colouring of a graph $G$ is called $l$ -homogeneous if the number of colours in the neigbourhood of each vertex of $G$ equals $l$ . We explore basic properties (the existence and the number of used colours) of homogeneous colourings of graphs in general as well as of some specific graph families, in particular planar graphs.
