A bound on the k -domination number of a graph

Lutz Volkmann (2010)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let G be a graph with vertex set V ( G ) , and let k 1 be an integer. A subset D V ( G ) is called a k -dominating set if every vertex v V ( G ) - D has at least k neighbors in D . The k -domination number γ k ( G ) of G is the minimum cardinality of a k -dominating set in G . If G is a graph with minimum degree δ ( G ) k + 1 , then we prove that γ k + 1 ( G ) | V ( G ) | + γ k ( G ) 2 . In addition, we present a characterization of a special class of graphs attaining equality in this inequality.

A characterization of diameter-2-critical graphs with no antihole of length four

Teresa Haynes, Michael Henning (2012)

Open Mathematics

A graph G is diameter-2-critical if its diameter is two and the deletion of any edge increases the diameter. In this paper we characterize the diameter-2-critical graphs with no antihole of length four, that is, the diameter-2-critical graphs whose complements have no induced 4-cycle. Murty and Simon conjectured that the number of edges in a diameter-2-critical graph of order n is at most n 2/4 and that the extremal graphs are complete bipartite graphs with equal size partite sets. As a consequence...

A conjecture on cycle-pancyclism in tournaments

Hortensia Galeana-Sánchez, Sergio Rajsbaum (1998)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let T be a hamiltonian tournament with n vertices and γ a hamiltonian cycle of T. In previous works we introduced and studied the concept of cycle-pancyclism to capture the following question: What is the maximum intersection with γ of a cycle of length k? More precisely, for a cycle Cₖ of length k in T we denote I γ ( C ) = | A ( γ ) A ( C ) | , the number of arcs that γ and Cₖ have in common. Let f ( k , T , γ ) = m a x I γ ( C ) | C T and f(n,k) = minf(k,T,γ)|T is a hamiltonian tournament with n vertices, and γ a hamiltonian cycle of T. In previous papers we gave...

A construction of large graphs of diameter two and given degree from Abelian lifts of dipoles

Dávid Mesežnikov (2012)

Kybernetika

For any d 11 we construct graphs of degree d , diameter 2 , and order 8 25 d 2 + O ( d ) , obtained as lifts of dipoles with voltages in cyclic groups. For Cayley Abelian graphs of diameter two a slightly better result of 9 25 d 2 + O ( d ) has been known [3] but it applies only to special values of degrees d depending on prime powers.

A Different Short Proof of Brooks’ Theorem

Landon Rabern (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Lovász gave a short proof of Brooks’ theorem by coloring greedily in a good order. We give a different short proof by reducing to the cubic case.

A maximum degree theorem for diameter-2-critical graphs

Teresa Haynes, Michael Henning, Lucas Merwe, Anders Yeo (2014)

Open Mathematics

A graph is diameter-2-critical if its diameter is two and the deletion of any edge increases the diameter. Let G be a diameter-2-critical graph of order n. Murty and Simon conjectured that the number of edges in G is at most ⌊n 2/4⌋ and that the extremal graphs are the complete bipartite graphs K ⌊n/2⌋,⌊n/2⌉. Fan [Discrete Math. 67 (1987), 235–240] proved the conjecture for n ≤ 24 and for n = 26, while Füredi [J. Graph Theory 16 (1992), 81–98] proved the conjecture for n > n 0 where n 0 is a...
