An upper bound on the basis number of the powers of the complete graphs

Salar Y. Alsardary (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The basis number of a graph G is defined by Schmeichel to be the least integer h such that G has an h -fold basis for its cycle space. MacLane showed that a graph is planar if and only if its basis number is 2 . Schmeichel proved that the basis number of the complete graph K n is at most 3 . We generalize the result of Schmeichel by showing that the basis number of the d -th power of K n is at most 2 d + 1 .

Antidomatic number of a graph

Bohdan Zelinka (1997)

Archivum Mathematicum

A subset D of the vertex set V ( G ) of a graph G is called dominating in G , if for each x V ( G ) - D there exists y D adjacent to x . An antidomatic partition of G is a partition of V ( G ) , none of whose classes is a dominating set in G . The minimum number of classes of an antidomatic partition of G is the number d ¯ ( G ) of G . Its properties are studied.

Associative graph products and their independence, domination and coloring numbers

Richard J. Nowakowski, Douglas F. Rall (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Associative products are defined using a scheme of Imrich & Izbicki [18]. These include the Cartesian, categorical, strong and lexicographic products, as well as others. We examine which product ⊗ and parameter p pairs are multiplicative, that is, p(G⊗H) ≥ p(G)p(H) for all graphs G and H or p(G⊗H) ≤ p(G)p(H) for all graphs G and H. The parameters are related to independence, domination and irredundance. This includes Vizing's conjecture directly, and indirectly the Shannon capacity of a graph...
