It is proved that a connected multigraph G which is the union of two edge-disjoint paths has another decomposition into two paths with the same set, U, of endvertices provided that the multigraph is neither a path nor cycle. Moreover, then the number of such decompositions is proved to be even unless the number is three, which occurs exactly if G is a tree homeomorphic with graph of either symbol + or ⊥. A multigraph on n vertices with exactly two traceable pairs is constructed for each n ≥ 3. The...
W. He et al. showed that a planar graph not containing 4-cycles can be decomposed into a forest and a graph with maximum degree at most 7. This degree restriction was improved to 6 by Borodin et al. We further lower this bound to 5 and show that it cannot be improved to 3.
The diameter of a graph is the maximal distance between two vertices of . A graph is said to be diameter-edge-invariant, if for all its edges, diameter-vertex-invariant, if for all its vertices and diameter-adding-invariant if for all edges of the complement of the edge set of . This paper describes some properties of such graphs and gives several existence results and bounds for parameters of diameter-invariant graphs.
