Estimation of the maximum multiplicity of an eigenvalue in terms of the vertex degrees of the graph of a matrix.
Let be the least number for which there exists a simple graph with vertices having precisely spanning trees. Similarly, define as the least number for which there exists a simple graph with edges having precisely spanning trees. As an -cycle has exactly spanning trees, it follows that . In this paper, we show that and if and only if , which is a subset of Euler’s idoneal numbers. Moreover, if and we show that and This improves some previously estabilished bounds.
An extended tree of a graph is a certain analogue of spanning tree. It is defined by means of vertex splitting. The properties of these trees are studied, mainly for complete graphs.
Gutman and Wagner proposed the concept of the matching energy which is defined as the sum of the absolute values of the zeros of the matching polynomial of a graph. And they pointed out that the chemical applications of matching energy go back to the 1970s. Let T be a tree with n vertices. In this paper, we characterize the trees whose complements have the maximal, second-maximal and minimal matching energy. Furthermore, we determine the trees with edge-independence number p whose complements have...
In this note we consider a discrete symmetric function f(x, y) where associated with the degrees of adjacent vertices in a tree. The extremal trees with respect to the corresponding graph invariant, defined as are characterized by the “greedy tree” and “alternating greedy tree”. This is achieved through simple generalizations of previously used ideas on similar questions. As special cases, the already known extremal structures of the Randic index follow as corollaries. The extremal structures...
This is the second in a series of two papers on numeration schemes. Whereas the first paper emphasized grouping as exemplified in the partition of a number so as to obtain its base two numeral, the present paper takes at its point of departure the method of repeated divisions, as in the calculation of the base two numeral for a number by dividing it by two, then dividing the quotient by two, etc., and collecting the remainders. This method is a sort of classification scheme - odd or even.
