Characterization of the range of the Radon transform on homogeneous trees.
Let G = (V(G),E(G)) be a simple graph, and let k be a positive integer. A subset D of V(G) is a k-dominating set if every vertex of V(G) - D is dominated at least k times by D. The k-domination number γₖ(G) is the minimum cardinality of a k-dominating set of G. In [5] Volkmann showed that for every nontrivial tree T, γ₂(T) ≥ γ₁(T)+1 and characterized extremal trees attaining this bound. In this paper we characterize all trees T with γ₂(T) = γ₁(T)+2.
Let G be an edge-colored connected graph. A path P is a proper path in G if no two adjacent edges of P are colored the same. If P is a proper u − v path of length d(u, v), then P is a proper u − v geodesic. An edge coloring c is a proper-path coloring of a connected graph G if every pair u, v of distinct vertices of G are connected by a proper u − v path in G, and c is a strong proper-path coloring if every two vertices u and v are connected by a proper u− v geodesic in G. The minimum number of...
In this paper we present characterizations of graphs whose plick graphs are planar, outerplanar and minimally nonouterplanar.
The infimum of the least eigenvalues of all finite induced subgraphs of an infinite graph is defined to be its least eigenvalue. In [P.J. Cameron, J.M. Goethals, J.J. Seidel and E.E. Shult, Line graphs, root systems, and elliptic geometry, J. Algebra 43 (1976) 305-327], the class of all finite graphs whose least eigenvalues ≥ −2 has been classified: (1) If a (finite) graph is connected and its least eigenvalue is at least −2, then either it is a generalized line graph or it is represented by the...
Let G ☐ H denote the Cartesian product of the graphs G and H. In 2004, Hartnell and Rall [On dominating the Cartesian product of a graph and K₂, Discuss. Math. Graph Theory 24(3) (2004), 389-402] characterized prism fixers, i.e., graphs G for which γ(G ☐ K₂) = γ(G), and noted that γ(G ☐ Kₙ) ≥ min{|V(G)|, γ(G)+n-2}. We call a graph G a consistent fixer if γ(G ☐ Kₙ) = γ(G)+n-2 for each n such that 2 ≤ n < |V(G)|- γ(G)+2, and characterize this class of graphs. Also in 2004, Burger,...
Let be a finite group and construct a graph by taking as the vertex set of and by drawing an edge between two vertices and if is cyclic. Let be the set consisting of the universal vertices of along the identity element. For a solvable group , we present a necessary and sufficient condition for to be nontrivial. We also develop a connection between and when is divisible by two distinct primes and the diameter of is 2.
As was shown in the book of Mulder [4], the interval function is an important tool for studying metric properties of connected graphs. An axiomatic characterization of the interval function of a connected graph was given by the present author in [5]. (Using the terminology of Bandelt, van de Vel and Verheul [1] and Bandelt and Chepoi [2], we may say that [5] gave a necessary and sufficient condition for a finite geometric interval space to be graphic). In the present paper, the result given in [5]...
In this paper, we show that Qkn is a divisor graph, for n = 2, 3. For n ≥ 4, we show that Qkn is a divisor graph iff k ≥ n − 1. For folded-hypercube, we get FQn is a divisor graph when n is odd. But, if n ≥ 4 is even integer, then FQn is not a divisor graph. For n ≥ 5, we show that (FQn)k is not a divisor graph, where 2 ≤ k ≤ [n/2] − 1.
We use the concept of intrinsic metrics to give a new definition for an isoperimetric constant of a graph. We use this novel isoperimetric constant to prove a Cheeger-type estimate for the bottom of the spectrum which is nontrivial even if the vertex degrees are unbounded.
