A New Method for Computing the Eccentric Connectivity Index of Fullerenes

Ghorbani, Modjtaba, Malekjani, Khadijeh (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): G.2.2, G.2.3.The eccentric connectivity index of the molecular graph G, ξ^c (G), was proposed by Sharma, Goswami and Madan. It is defined as ξ^c (G) = Σu∈V(G)degG(u) ecc(u), where degG(x) denotes the degree of the vertex x in G and ecc(u) = Max{d(x, u) | x ∈ V (G)}. In this paper this graph invariant is computed for an infinite class of fullerenes by means of group action.

A New Proof that 4-Connected Planar Graphs are Hamiltonian-Connected

Xiaoyun Lu, Douglas B. West (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We prove a theorem guaranteeing special paths of faces in 2-connected plane graphs. As a corollary, we obtain a new proof of Thomassen’s theorem that every 4-connected planar graph is Hamiltonian-connected.

A new upper bound for the chromatic number of a graph

Ingo Schiermeyer (2007)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let G be a graph of order n with clique number ω(G), chromatic number χ(G) and independence number α(G). We show that χ(G) ≤ [(n+ω+1-α)/2]. Moreover, χ(G) ≤ [(n+ω-α)/2], if either ω + α = n + 1 and G is not a split graph or α + ω = n - 1 and G contains no induced K ω + 3 - C .

A Note on a Broken-Cycle Theorem for Hypergraphs

Martin Trinks (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Whitney’s Broken-cycle Theorem states the chromatic polynomial of a graph as a sum over special edge subsets. We give a definition of cycles in hypergraphs that preserves the statement of the theorem there

A note on a conjecture on niche hypergraphs

Pawaton Kaemawichanurat, Thiradet Jiarasuksakun (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

For a digraph D , the niche hypergraph N ( D ) of D is the hypergraph having the same set of vertices as D and the set of hyperedges E ( N ( D ) ) = { e V ( D ) : | e | 2 and there exists a vertex v such that e = N D - ( v ) or e = N D + ( v ) } . A digraph is said to be acyclic if it has no directed cycle as a subdigraph. For a given hypergraph , the niche number n ^ ( ) is the smallest integer such that together with n ^ ( ) isolated vertices is the niche hypergraph of an acyclic digraph. C. Garske, M. Sonntag and H. M. Teichert (2016) conjectured that for a linear hypercycle...
