Graphs isomorphic to their path graphs

Martin Knor, Ľudovít Niepel (2002)

Mathematica Bohemica

We prove that for every number n 1 , the n -iterated P 3 -path graph of G is isomorphic to G if and only if G is a collection of cycles, each of length at least 4. Hence, G is isomorphic to P 3 ( G ) if and only if G is a collection of cycles, each of length at least 4. Moreover, for k 4 we reduce the problem of characterizing graphs G such that P k ( G ) G to graphs without cycles of length exceeding k .

Graphs S ( n , k ) and a variant of the Tower of Hanoi problem

Sandi Klavžar, Uroš Milutinović (1997)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

For any n 1 and any k 1 , a graph S ( n , k ) is introduced. Vertices of S ( n , k ) are n -tuples over { 1 , 2 , ... , k } and two n -tuples are adjacent if they are in a certain relation. These graphs are graphs of a particular variant of the Tower of Hanoi problem. Namely, the graphs S ( n , 3 ) are isomorphic to the graphs of the Tower of Hanoi problem. It is proved that there are at most two shortest paths between any two vertices of S ( n , k ) . Together with a formula for the distance, this result is used to compute the distance between two vertices in...
