Join of two graphs admits a nowhere-zero -flow
Let be a graph, and the smallest integer for which has a nowhere-zero -flow, i.e., an integer for which admits a nowhere-zero -flow, but it does not admit a -flow. We denote the minimum flow number of by . In this paper we show that if and are two arbitrary graphs and has no isolated vertex, then except two cases: (i) One of the graphs and is and the other is -regular. (ii) and is a graph with at least one isolated vertex or a component whose every block is an...
