General symmetric starter of orthogonal double covers of complete bipartite graph.
The Gyárfás tree packing conjecture asserts that any set of trees with 2,3,...,k vertices has an (edge-disjoint) packing into the complete graph on k vertices. Gyárfás and Lehel proved that the conjecture holds in some special cases. We address the problem of packing trees into k-chromatic graphs. In particular, we prove that if all but three of the trees are stars then they have a packing into any k-chromatic graph. We also consider several other generalizations of the conjecture.
We study the generalized -connectivity as introduced by Hager in 1985, as well as the more recently introduced generalized -edge-connectivity . We determine the exact value of and for the line graphs and total graphs of trees, unicyclic graphs, and also for complete graphs for the case .
We prove: (1) that can be arbitrarily large, where and are P-choice and P-chromatic numbers, respectively, (2) the (P,L)-colouring version of Brooks’ and Gallai’s theorems.
The generalized k-connectivity κk(G) of a graph G, introduced by Hager in 1985, is a nice generalization of the classical connectivity. Recently, as a natural counterpart, we proposed the concept of generalized k-edge-connectivity λk(G). In this paper, graphs of order n such that [...] for even k are characterized.
