On the existence of a cycle of length at least 7 in a (1,≤ 2)-twin-free graph

David Auger, Irène Charon, Olivier Hudry, Antoine Lobstein (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We consider a simple, undirected graph G. The ball of a subset Y of vertices in G is the set of vertices in G at distance at most one from a vertex in Y. Assuming that the balls of all subsets of at most two vertices in G are distinct, we prove that G admits a cycle with length at least 7.

On the Existence of (k,l)-Kernels in Infinite Digraphs: A Survey

H. Galeana-Sánchez, C. Hernández-Cruz (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let D be a digraph, V (D) and A(D) will denote the sets of vertices and arcs of D, respectively. A (k, l)-kernel N of D is a k-independent (if u, v ∈ N, u 6= v, then d(u, v), d(v, u) ≥ k) and l-absorbent (if u ∈ V (D) − N then there exists v ∈ N such that d(u, v) ≤ l) set of vertices. A k-kernel is a (k, k −1)-kernel. This work is a survey of results proving sufficient conditions for the existence of (k, l)-kernels in infinite digraphs. Despite all the previous work in this direction was done for...

On the factorization of reducible properties of graphs into irreducible factors

P. Mihók, R. Vasky (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A hereditary property R of graphs is said to be reducible if there exist hereditary properties P₁,P₂ such that G ∈ R if and only if the set of vertices of G can be partitioned into V(G) = V₁∪V₂ so that ⟨V₁⟩ ∈ P₁ and ⟨V₂⟩ ∈ P₂. The problem of the factorization of reducible properties into irreducible factors is investigated.

On the forcing geodetic and forcing steiner numbers of a graph

A.P. Santhakumaran, J. John (2011)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

For a connected graph G = (V,E), a set W ⊆ V is called a Steiner set of G if every vertex of G is contained in a Steiner W-tree of G. The Steiner number s(G) of G is the minimum cardinality of its Steiner sets and any Steiner set of cardinality s(G) is a minimum Steiner set of G. For a minimum Steiner set W of G, a subset T ⊆ W is called a forcing subset for W if W is the unique minimum Steiner set containing T. A forcing subset for W of minimum cardinality is a minimum forcing subset of W. The...
