A Simple Proof of the Perfect Matching Theorem
In this version of the Cops and Robber game, the cops move in tandems, or pairs, such that they are at distance at most one from each other after every move. The problem is to determine, for a given graph G, the minimum number of tandems sufficient to guarantee a win for the cops. We investigate this game on three graph products, the Cartesian, categorical and strong products.
From two graphs G1 and G2 on N1 and N2 vertices respectively, the compound graph G1[G2] on N1N2 vertices is obtained by connecting in some way N2 copies of G1.We present in this paper methods of compounding that result in families of graphs with large number of vertices for given values of the maximum degree ∆ and diameter D.
