On 1-dependent ramsey numbers for graphs

E.J. Cockayne, C.M. Mynhardt (1999)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A set X of vertices of a graph G is said to be 1-dependent if the subgraph of G induced by X has maximum degree one. The 1-dependent Ramsey number t₁(l,m) is the smallest integer n such that for any 2-edge colouring (R,B) of Kₙ, the spanning subgraph B of Kₙ has a 1-dependent set of size l or the subgraph R has a 1-dependent set of size m. The 2-edge colouring (R,B) is a t₁(l,m) Ramsey colouring of Kₙ if B (R, respectively) does not contain a 1-dependent set of size l (m, respectively); in this...

On 2 -extendability of generalized Petersen graphs

Nirmala B. Limaye, Mulupuri Shanthi C. Rao (1996)

Mathematica Bohemica

Let G P ( n , k ) be a generalized Petersen graph with ( n , k ) = 1 , n > k 4 . Then every pair of parallel edges of G P ( n , k ) is contained in a 1-factor of G P ( n , k ) . This partially answers a question posed by Larry Cammack and Gerald Schrag [Problem 101, Discrete Math. 73(3), 1989, 311-312].

On 2-periodic graphs of a certain graph operator

Ivan Havel, Bohdan Zelinka (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We deal with the graph operator P o w ¯ defined to be the complement of the square of a graph: P o w ¯ ( G ) = P o w ( G ) ¯ . Motivated by one of many open problems formulated in [6] we look for graphs that are 2-periodic with respect to this operator. We describe a class of bipartite graphs possessing the above mentioned property and prove that for any m,n ≥ 6, the complete bipartite graph K m , n can be decomposed in two edge-disjoint factors from . We further show that all the incidence graphs of Desarguesian finite projective geometries...

On 3-simplicial vertices in planar graphs

Endre Boros, Robert E. Jamison, Renu Laskar, Henry Martyn Mulder (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A vertex v in a graph G = (V,E) is k-simplicial if the neighborhood N(v) of v can be vertex-covered by k or fewer complete graphs. The main result of the paper states that a planar graph of order at least four has at least four 3-simplicial vertices of degree at most five. This result is a strengthening of the classical corollary of Euler's Formula that a planar graph of order at least four contains at least four vertices of degree at most five.

On ( 4 , 1 ) * -choosability of toroidal graphs without chordal 7-cycles and adjacent 4-cycles

Haihui Zhang (2013)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A graph G is called ( k , d ) * -choosable if for every list assignment L satisfying | L ( v ) | = k for all v V ( G ) , there is an L -coloring of G such that each vertex of G has at most d neighbors colored with the same color as itself. In this paper, it is proved that every toroidal graph without chordal 7-cycles and adjacent 4-cycles is ( 4 , 1 ) * -choosable.

On a bound on algebraic connectivity: the case of equality

Stephen J. Kirkland, Neumann, Michael, Bryan L. Shader (1998)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In a recent paper the authors proposed a lower bound on 1 - λ i , where λ i , λ i 1 , is an eigenvalue of a transition matrix T of an ergodic Markov chain. The bound, which involved the group inverse of I - T , was derived from a more general bound, due to Bauer, Deutsch, and Stoer, on the eigenvalues of a stochastic matrix other than its constant row sum. Here we adapt the bound to give a lower bound on the algebraic connectivity of an undirected graph, but principally consider the case of equality in the bound when...
