Rainbow numbers for small stars with one edge added

Izolda Gorgol, Ewa Łazuka (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A subgraph of an edge-colored graph is rainbow if all of its edges have different colors. For a graph H and a positive integer n, the anti-Ramsey number f(n,H) is the maximum number of colors in an edge-coloring of Kₙ with no rainbow copy of H. The rainbow number rb(n,H) is the minimum number of colors such that any edge-coloring of Kₙ with rb(n,H) number of colors contains a rainbow copy of H. Certainly rb(n,H) = f(n,H) + 1. Anti-Ramsey numbers were introduced by Erdös et al. [5] and studied in...

Ramsey numbers for trees II

Zhi-Hong Sun (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let r ( G 1 , G 2 ) be the Ramsey number of the two graphs G 1 and G 2 . For n 1 n 2 1 let S ( n 1 , n 2 ) be the double star given by V ( S ( n 1 , n 2 ) ) = { v 0 , v 1 , ... , v n 1 , w 0 , w 1 , ... , w n 2 } and E ( S ( n 1 , n 2 ) ) = { v 0 v 1 , ... , v 0 v n 1 , v 0 w 0 , w 0 w 1 , ... , w 0 w n 2 } . We determine r ( K 1 , m - 1 , S ( n 1 , ...

Remarks on 15-vertex (3,3)-ramsey graphs not containing K₅

Sebastian Urbański (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The paper gives an account of previous and recent attempts to determine the order of a smallest graph not containing K₅ and such that every 2-coloring of its edges results in a monochromatic triangle. A new 14-vertex K₄-free graph with the same Ramsey property in the vertex coloring case is found. This yields a new construction of one of the only two known 15-vertex (3,3)-Ramsey graphs not containing K₅.

Some applications of pq-groups in graph theory

Geoffrey Exoo (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We describe some new applications of nonabelian pq-groups to construction problems in Graph Theory. The constructions include the smallest known trivalent graph of girth 17, the smallest known regular graphs of girth five for several degrees, along with four edge colorings of complete graphs that improve lower bounds on classical Ramsey numbers.

Structural results on maximal k-degenerate graphs

Allan Bickle (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A graph is k-degenerate if its vertices can be successively deleted so that when deleted, each has degree at most k. These graphs were introduced by Lick and White in 1970 and have been studied in several subsequent papers. We present sharp bounds on the diameter of maximal k-degenerate graphs and characterize the extremal graphs for the upper bound. We present a simple characterization of the degree sequences of these graphs and consider related results. Considering edge coloring, we conjecture...

The Chvátal-Erdős condition and 2-factors with a specified number of components

Guantao Chen, Ronald J. Gould, Ken-ichi Kawarabayashi, Katsuhiro Ota, Akira Saito, Ingo Schiermeyer (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let G be a 2-connected graph of order n satisfying α(G) = a ≤ κ(G), where α(G) and κ(G) are the independence number and the connectivity of G, respectively, and let r(m,n) denote the Ramsey number. The well-known Chvátal-Erdös Theorem states that G has a hamiltonian cycle. In this paper, we extend this theorem, and prove that G has a 2-factor with a specified number of components if n is sufficiently large. More precisely, we prove that (1) if n ≥ k·r(a+4, a+1), then G has a 2-factor with k components,...
