Hardness Results for Total Rainbow Connection of Graphs

Lily Chen, Bofeng Huo, Yingbin Ma (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A total-colored path is total rainbow if both its edges and internal vertices have distinct colors. The total rainbow connection number of a connected graph G, denoted by trc(G), is the smallest number of colors that are needed in a total-coloring of G in order to make G total rainbow connected, that is, any two vertices of G are connected by a total rainbow path. In this paper, we study the computational complexity of total rainbow connection of graphs. We show that deciding whether a given total-coloring...

Heavy Subgraph Conditions for Longest Cycles to Be Heavy in Graphs

Binlong Lia, Shenggui Zhang (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let G be a graph on n vertices. A vertex of G with degree at least n/2 is called a heavy vertex, and a cycle of G which contains all the heavy vertices of G is called a heavy cycle. In this note, we characterize graphs which contain no heavy cycles. For a given graph H, we say that G is H-heavy if every induced subgraph of G isomorphic to H contains two nonadjacent vertices with degree sum at least n. We find all the connected graphs S such that a 2-connected graph G being S-heavy implies any longest...

Heavy subgraph pairs for traceability of block-chains

Binlong Li, Hajo Broersma, Shenggui Zhang (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A graph is called traceable if it contains a Hamilton path, i.e., a path containing all its vertices. Let G be a graph on n vertices. We say that an induced subgraph of G is o−1-heavy if it contains two nonadjacent vertices which satisfy an Ore-type degree condition for traceability, i.e., with degree sum at least n−1 in G. A block-chain is a graph whose block graph is a path, i.e., it is either a P1, P2, or a 2-connected graph, or a graph with at least one cut vertex and exactly two end-blocks....

Heegaard and regular genus of 3-manifolds with boundary.

P. Cristofori, C. Gagliardi, L. Grasselli (1995)

Revista Matemática de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid

By means of branched coverings techniques, we prove that the Heegaard genus and the regular genus of an orientable 3-manifold with boundary coincide.

Hercules versus Hidden Hydra Helper

Jiří Matoušek, Martin Loebl (1991)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

L. Kirby and J. Paris introduced the Hercules and Hydra game on rooted trees as a natural example of an undecidable statement in Peano Arithmetic. One can show that Hercules has a “short” strategy (he wins in a primitively recursive number of moves) and also a “long” strategy (the finiteness of the game cannot be proved in Peano Arithmetic). We investigate the conflict of the “short” and “long” intentions (a problem suggested by J. Nešetřil). After each move of Hercules (trying to kill Hydra fast)...

Hereditary domination and independence parameters

Wayne Goddard, Teresa Haynes, Debra Knisley (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

For a graphical property P and a graph G, we say that a subset S of the vertices of G is a P-set if the subgraph induced by S has the property P. Then the P-domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating P-set and the P-independence number the maximum cardinality of a P-set. We show that several properties of domination, independent domination and acyclic domination hold for arbitrary properties P that are closed under disjoint unions and subgraphs.

Hereditary properties of words

József Balogh, Béla Bollobás (2005)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Let 𝒫 be a hereditary property of words, i.e., an infinite class of finite words such that every subword (block) of a word belonging to 𝒫 is also in 𝒫 . Extending the classical Morse-Hedlund theorem, we show that either 𝒫 contains at least n + 1 words of length n for every n or, for some N , it contains at most N words of length n for every n . More importantly, we prove the following quantitative extension of this result: if 𝒫 has m n words of length n then, for every k n + m , it contains at most ( m + 1 ) / 2 ( m + 1 ) / 2 words of length...

Hereditary properties of words

József Balogh, Béla Bollobás (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Let P be a hereditary property of words, i.e., an infinite class of finite words such that every subword (block) of a word belonging to P is also in P. Extending the classical Morse-Hedlund theorem, we show that either P contains at least n+1 words of length n for every n or, for some N, it contains at most N words of length n for every n. More importantly, we prove the following quantitative extension of this result: if P has m ≤ n words of length n then, for every k ≥ n + m, it contains at most...
