The edge C₄ graph of some graph classes

Manju K. Menon, A. Vijayakumar (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The edge C₄ graph of a graph G, E₄(G) is a graph whose vertices are the edges of G and two vertices in E₄(G) are adjacent if the corresponding edges in G are either incident or are opposite edges of some C₄. In this paper, we show that there exist infinitely many pairs of non isomorphic graphs whose edge C₄ graphs are isomorphic. We study the relationship between the diameter, radius and domination number of G and those of E₄(G). It is shown that for any graph G without isolated vertices, there...

The edge domination problem

Shiow-Fen Hwang, Gerard J. Chang (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

An edge dominating set of a graph is a set D of edges such that every edge not in D is adjacent to at least one edge in D. In this paper we present a linear time algorithm for finding a minimum edge dominating set of a block graph.

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

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

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The irregularity of a graph G = ( V , E ) is defined as the sum of imbalances | d u - d v | over all edges u v ∈ 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 ≤ p ≤ n - 1 ), and characterize the corresponding extremal graphs.

The first Dirichlet eigenvalue of bicyclic graphs

Guang-Jun Zhang, Xiao-Dong Zhang (2012)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper, we have investigated some properties of the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of a bicyclic graph with boundary condition. These results can be used to characterize the extremal bicyclic graphs with the smallest first Dirichlet eigenvalue among all the bicyclic graphs with a given graphic bicyclic degree sequence with minor conditions. Moreover, the extremal bicyclic graphs with the smallest first Dirichlet eigenvalue among all the bicycle graphs with fixed k interior vertices of degree...

The forcing geodetic number of a graph

Gary Chartrand, Ping Zhang (1999)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

For two vertices u and v of a graph G, the set I(u, v) consists of all vertices lying on some u-v geodesic in G. If S is a set of vertices of G, then I(S) is the union of all sets I(u,v) for u, v ∈ S. A set S is a geodetic set if I(S) = V(G). A minimum geodetic set is a geodetic set of minimum cardinality and this cardinality is the geodetic number g(G). A subset T of a minimum geodetic set S is called a forcing subset for S if S is the unique minimum geodetic set containing T. The forcing geodetic...

The Gutman Index and the Edge-Wiener Index of Graphs with Given Vertex-Connectivity

Jaya Percival Mazorodze, Simon Mukwembi, Tomáš Vetrík (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The Gutman index and the edge-Wiener index have been extensively investigated particularly in the last decade. An important stream of re- search on graph indices is to bound indices in terms of the order and other parameters of given graph. In this paper we present asymptotically sharp upper bounds on the Gutman index and the edge-Wiener index for graphs of given order and vertex-connectivity κ, where κ is a constant. Our results substantially generalize and extend known results in the area.

The irregularity of graphs under graph operations

Hosam Abdo, Darko Dimitrov (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The irregularity of a simple undirected graph G was defined by Albertson [5] as irr(G) = ∑uv∈E(G) |dG(u) − dG(v)|, where dG(u) denotes the degree of a vertex u ∈ V (G). In this paper we consider the irregularity of graphs under several graph operations including join, Cartesian product, direct product, strong product, corona product, lexicographic product, disjunction and sym- metric difference. We give exact expressions or (sharp) upper bounds on the irregularity of graphs under the above mentioned...

The leafage of a chordal graph

In-Jen Lin, Terry A. McKee, Douglas B. West (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The leafage l(G) of a chordal graph G is the minimum number of leaves of a tree in which G has an intersection representation by subtrees. We obtain upper and lower bounds on l(G) and compute it on special classes. The maximum of l(G) on n-vertex graphs is n - lg n - 1/2 lg lg n + O(1). The proper leafage l*(G) is the minimum number of leaves when no subtree may contain another; we obtain upper and lower bounds on l*(G). Leafage equals proper leafage on claw-free chordal graphs. We use asteroidal...

The Least Eigenvalue of Graphs whose Complements Are Uni- cyclic

Yi Wang, Yi-Zheng Fan, Xiao-Xin Li, Fei-Fei Zhang (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A graph in a certain graph class is called minimizing if the least eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix attains the minimum among all graphs in that class. Bell et al. have identified a subclass within the connected graphs of order n and size m in which minimizing graphs belong (the complements of such graphs are either disconnected or contain a clique of size n/2 ). In this paper we discuss the minimizing graphs of a special class of graphs of order n whose complements are connected and contains...
