Quadrilateral embeddings of the conjunction of graphs
This paper is devoted to new algebraic structures, called qualgebras and squandles. Topologically, they emerge as an algebraic counterpart of knotted 3-valent graphs, just like quandles can be seen as an "algebraization" of knots. Algebraically, they are modeled after groups with conjugation and multiplication/squaring operations. We discuss basic properties of these structures, and introduce and study the notions of qualgebra/squandle 2-cocycles and 2-coboundaries. Knotted 3-valent graph invariants...
We show that there are well separated families of quantum expanders with asymptotically the maximal cardinality allowed by a known upper bound. This has applications to the “growth" of certain operator spaces: It implies asymptotically sharp estimates for the growth of the multiplicity of -spaces needed to represent (up to a constant ) the -version of the -dimensional operator Hilbert space as a direct sum of copies of . We show that, when is close to 1, this multiplicity grows as for...
A vertex subset S of a graph G is a perfect (resp. quasiperfect) dominating set in G if each vertex v of G∖S is adjacent to only one vertex ( ∈ 1,2 vertices) of S. Perfect and quasiperfect dominating sets in the regular tessellation graph of Schläfli symbol 3,6 and in its toroidal quotients are investigated, yielding the classification of their perfect dominating sets and most of their quasiperfect dominating sets S with induced components of the form , where ν ∈ 1,2,3 depends only on S.
The Sombor index of a graph is the sum of the edge weights of all edges of , where denotes the degree of the vertex in . A connected graph is called a quasi-tree if there exists such that is a tree. Denote is a quasi-tree graph of order with being a tree and . We determined the minimum and the second minimum Sombor indices of all quasi-trees in . Furthermore, we characterized the corresponding extremal graphs, respectively.
In this paper, the upper and lower bounds for the quotient of spectral radius (Laplacian spectral radius, signless Laplacian spectral radius) and the clique number together with the corresponding extremal graphs in the class of connected graphs with vertices and clique number
