Hamiltonian-colored powers of strong digraphs

Garry Johns, Ryan Jones, Kyle Kolasinski, Ping Zhang (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

For a strong oriented graph D of order n and diameter d and an integer k with 1 ≤ k ≤ d, the kth power D k of D is that digraph having vertex set V(D) with the property that (u, v) is an arc of D k if the directed distance d D ( u , v ) from u to v in D is at most k. For every strong digraph D of order n ≥ 2 and every integer k ≥ ⌈n/2⌉, the digraph D k is Hamiltonian and the lower bound ⌈n/2⌉ is sharp. The digraph D k is distance-colored if each arc (u, v) of D k is assigned the color i where i = d D ( u , v ) . The digraph D k is Hamiltonian-colored...

Hamiltonicity and Generalised Total Colourings of Planar Graphs

Mieczysław Borowiecki, Izak Broere (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The total generalised colourings considered in this paper are colourings of graphs such that the vertices and edges of the graph which receive the same colour induce subgraphs from two prescribed hereditary graph properties while incident elements receive different colours. The associated total chromatic number is the least number of colours with which this is possible. We study such colourings for sets of planar graphs and determine, in particular, upper bounds for these chromatic numbers for proper...

Hamiltonicity in multitriangular graphs

Peter J. Owens, Hansjoachim Walther (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The family of 5-valent polyhedral graphs whose faces are all triangles or 3s-gons, s ≥ 9, is shown to contain non-hamiltonian graphs and to have a shortness exponent smaller than one.

Hamiltonicity in Partly claw-free graphs

Moncef Abbas, Zineb Benmeziane (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research


Matthews and Sumner have proved in [10] that if G is a 2-connected claw-free graph of order n such that δ(G) ≥ (n-2)/3, then G is Hamiltonian. We say that a graph is almost claw-free if for every vertex v of G, 〈N(v)〉 is 2-dominated and the set A of centers of claws of G is an independent set. Broersma et al. [5] have proved that if G is a 2-connected almost claw-free graph of order n such that n such that δ(G) ≥ (n-2)/3, then G is Hamiltonian. We generalize these results by considering the graphs...

Hamiltonicity of cubic Cayley graphs

Henry Glover, Dragan Marušič (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Following a problem posed by Lovász in 1969, it is believed that every finite connected vertex-transitive graph has a Hamilton path. This is shown here to be true for cubic Cayley graphs arising from finite groups having a ( 2 , s , 3 ) -presentation, that is, for groups G = a , b a 2 = 1 , b s = 1 , ( a b ) 3 = 1 , generated by an involution a and an element b of order s 3 such that their product a b has order 3 . More precisely, it is shown that the Cayley graph X = Cay ( G , { a , b , b - 1 } ) has a Hamilton cycle when | G | (and thus s ) is congruent to 2 modulo 4, and has a long cycle missing...

Harary Index of Product Graphs

K. Pattabiraman, P. Paulraja (2015)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The Harary index is defined as the sum of reciprocals of distances between all pairs of vertices of a connected graph. In this paper, the exact formulae for the Harary indices of tensor product G × Km0,m1,...,mr−1 and the strong product G⊠Km0,m1,...,mr−1 , where Km0,m1,...,mr−1 is the complete multipartite graph with partite sets of sizes m0,m1, . . . ,mr−1 are obtained. Also upper bounds for the Harary indices of tensor and strong products of graphs are estabilished. Finally, the exact formula...
