Morse-Bott functions with two critical values on a surface

Irina Gelbukh (2021)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We study Morse-Bott functions with two critical values (equivalently, nonconstant without saddles) on closed surfaces. We show that only four surfaces admit such functions (though in higher dimensions, we construct many such manifolds, e.g. as fiber bundles over already constructed manifolds with the same property). We study properties of such functions. Namely, their Reeb graphs are path or cycle graphs; any path graph, and any cycle graph with an even number of vertices, is isomorphic to the Reeb...

Motion planning in cartesian product graphs

Biswajit Deb, Kalpesh Kapoor (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let G be an undirected graph with n vertices. Assume that a robot is placed on a vertex and n − 2 obstacles are placed on the other vertices. A vertex on which neither a robot nor an obstacle is placed is said to have a hole. Consider a single player game in which a robot or obstacle can be moved to adjacent vertex if it has a hole. The objective is to take the robot to a fixed destination vertex using minimum number of moves. In general, it is not necessary that the robot will take a shortest path...

Multicolor Ramsey numbers for paths and cycles

Tomasz Dzido (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

For given graphs G₁,G₂,...,Gₖ, k ≥ 2, the multicolor Ramsey number R(G₁,G₂,...,Gₖ) is the smallest integer n such that if we arbitrarily color the edges of the complete graph on n vertices with k colors, then it is always a monochromatic copy of some G i , for 1 ≤ i ≤ k. We give a lower bound for k-color Ramsey number R(Cₘ,Cₘ,...,Cₘ), where m ≥ 8 is even and Cₘ is the cycle on m vertices. In addition, we provide exact values for Ramsey numbers R(P₃,Cₘ,Cₚ), where P₃ is the path on 3 vertices, and several...

Multicolor Ramsey numbers for some paths and cycles

Halina Bielak (2009)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We give the multicolor Ramsey number for some graphs with a path or a cycle in the given sequence, generalizing a results of Faudree and Schelp [4], and Dzido, Kubale and Piwakowski [2,3].

Multi-faithful spanning trees of infinite graphs

Norbert Polat (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

For an end τ and a tree T of a graph G we denote respectively by m ( τ ) and m T ( τ ) the maximum numbers of pairwise disjoint rays of G and T belonging to τ , and we define t m ( τ ) : = min { m T ( τ ) T is a spanning tree of G } . In this paper we give partial answers—affirmative and negative ones—to the general problem of determining if, for a function f mapping every end τ of G to a cardinal f ( τ ) such that t m ( τ ) f ( τ ) m ( τ ) , there exists a spanning tree T of G such that m T ( τ ) = f ( τ ) for every end τ of G .

Multiples of left loops and vertex-transitive graphs

Eric Mwambene (2005)

Open Mathematics

Via representation of vertex-transitive graphs on groupoids, we show that left loops with units are factors of groups, i.e., left loops are transversals of left cosets on which it is possible to define a binary operation which allows left cancellation.
