On the asymptotic behavior of some counting functions, II

Wolfgang A. Schmid (2005)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The investigation of the counting function of the set of integral elements, in an algebraic number field, with factorizations of at most k different lengths gives rise to a combinatorial constant depending only on the class group of the number field and the integer k. In this paper the value of these constants, in case the class group is an elementary p-group, is estimated, and determined under additional conditions. In particular, it is proved that for elementary 2-groups these constants are equivalent...

On the Erdős-Gyárfás Conjecture in Claw-Free Graphs

Pouria Salehi Nowbandegani, Hossein Esfandiari, Mohammad Hassan Shirdareh Haghighi, Khodakhast Bibak (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The Erdős-Gyárfás conjecture states that every graph with minimum degree at least three has a cycle whose length is a power of 2. Since this conjecture has proven to be far from reach, Hobbs asked if the Erdős-Gyárfás conjecture holds in claw-free graphs. In this paper, we obtain some results on this question, in particular for cubic claw-free graphs

On the forcing geodetic and forcing steiner numbers of a graph

A.P. Santhakumaran, J. John (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

For a connected graph G = (V,E), a set W ⊆ V is called a Steiner set of G if every vertex of G is contained in a Steiner W-tree of G. The Steiner number s(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of its Steiner sets and any Steiner set of cardinality s(G) is a minimum Steiner set of G. For a minimum Steiner set W of G, a subset T ⊆ W is called a forcing subset for W if W is the unique minimum Steiner set containing T. A forcing subset for W of minimum cardinality is a minimum forcing subset of W. The...
