Hicas of length .
An infinite class of counterexamples is given to a conjecture of Dahme et al. [1] concerning the minimum size of a dominating vertex set that contains at least a prescribed proportion of the neighbors of each vertex not belonging to the set.
For a given graph G and a positive integer r the r-path graph, , has for vertices the set of all paths of length r in G. Two vertices are adjacent when the intersection of the corresponding paths forms a path of length r-1, and their union forms either a cycle or a path of length k+1 in G. Let be the k-iteration of r-path graph operator on a connected graph G. Let H be a subgraph of . The k-history is a subgraph of G that is induced by all edges that take part in the recursive definition of...
Let us call a graph G(H;k) vertex stable if it contains a subgraph H after removing any of its k vertices. In this paper we are interested in finding the (respectively ) vertex stable graphs with minimum size.
Let us call a G (H,k) graph vertex stable if it contains a subgraph H ever after removing any of its k vertices. By Q(H,k) we will denote the minimum size of an (H,k) vertex stable graph. In this paper, we are interested in finding Q(₃,k), Q(₄,k), and Q(Kₛ,k).
A proper vertex -colouring of a graph is called -homogeneous if the number of colours in the neigbourhood of each vertex of equals . We explore basic properties (the existence and the number of used colours) of homogeneous colourings of graphs in general as well as of some specific graph families, in particular planar graphs.
A 2-stratified graph is a graph whose vertex set has been partitioned into two subsets, called the strata or color classes of . Two -stratified graphs and are isomorphic if there exists a color-preserving isomorphism from to . A -stratified graph is said to be homogeneously embedded in a -stratified graph if for every vertex of and every vertex of , where and are colored the same, there exists an induced -stratified subgraph of containing and a color-preserving...
Let be a fixed rooted digraph. The -coloring problem is the problem of deciding for which rooted digraphs there is a homomorphism which maps the vertex to the vertex . Let be a rooted oriented path. In this case we characterize the nonexistence of such a homomorphism by the existence of a rooted oriented cycle , which is homomorphic to but not homomorphic to . Such a property of the digraph is called rooted cycle duality or -cycle duality. This extends the analogical result for...
