算术图的若干性质

本文得到了算术图的一些新性质，并解决了文[1]提出的两个猜想.     

t-Pebbling and Extensions

Graph pebbling is the study of moving discrete pebbles from certain initial distributions on the vertices of a graph to various target distributions via pebbling moves. A pebbling move removes two pebbles from a vertex and places one pebble on one of its neighbors (losing the other as a toll). For t ≥ 1 the t-pebbling number of a graph is the minimum number of pebbles necessary so that from any initial distribution of them it is possible to move t pebbles to any vertex. We provide the best possible upper bound on the t-pebbling number of a diameter two graph, proving a conjecture of Curtis et al., in the process. We also give a linear time (in the number of edges) algorithm to t-pebble such graphs, as well as a quartic time (in the number of vertices) algorithm to compute the pebbling number of such graphs, improving the best known result of Bekmetjev and Cusack. Furthermore, we show that, for complete graphs, cycles, trees, and cubes, we can allow the target to be any distribution of t pebbles without increasing the corresponding t-pebbling numbers; we conjecture that this behavior holds for all graphs. Finally, we explore fractional and optimal fractional versions of pebbling, proving the fractional pebbling number conjecture of Hurlbert and using linear optimization to reveal results on the optimal fractional pebbling number of vertex-transitive graphs.     

Fair reception and Vizing's conjecture

In this paper we introduce the concept of fair reception of a graph which is related to its domination number. We prove that all graphs G with a fair reception of size γ(G) satisfy Vizing's conjecture on the domination number of Cartesian product graphs, by which we extend the well‐known result of Barcalkin and German concerning decomposable graphs. Combining our concept with a result of Aharoni, Berger and Ziv, we obtain an alternative proof of the theorem of Aharoni and Szabó that chordal graphs satisfy Vizing's conjecture. A new infinite family of graphs that satisfy Vizing's conjecture is also presented. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 61: 45‐54, 2009     

平面图3色可染的一个充分条件

Steinberg猜想既没有4-圈又没有5-圈的平面图是3色可染的. Xu, Borodin等人各自独立地证明了既没有相邻三角形又没有5-和7-圈的平面图是3 色可染的. 作为这一结果的推论, 没有4-, 5-和7-圈的平面图是3色可染的. 本文证明一个比此推论更接近Steinberg猜想的结果, 设G是一个既没有4-圈又没有5-圈的平面图, 若对每一个k∈{3, 6, 7}, G都不含(k, 7)-弦, 则G是3色可染的, 这里的(k, 7)-弦是指长度为7+k-2的圈的一条弦, 它的两个端点将圈分成两条路, 一条路的长度为6, 另一条路的长度为k-1.     

Graham's pebbling conjecture on products of cycles

Chung defined a pebbling move on a graph G to be the removal of two pebbles from one vertex and the addition of one pebble to an adjacent vertex. The pebbling number of a connected graph is the smallest number f(G) such that any distribution of f(G) pebbles on G allows one pebble to be moved to any specified, but arbitrary vertex by a sequence of pebbling moves. Graham conjectured that for any connected graphs G and H, f(G×H)≤ f(G)f(H). We prove Graham's conjecture when G is a cycle for a variety of graphs H, including all cycles. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 42: 141–154, 2003     

Vizing's conjecture: a survey and recent results

Vizing's conjecture from 1968 asserts that the domination number of the Cartesian product of two graphs is at least as large as the product of their domination numbers. In this paper we survey the approaches to this central conjecture from domination theory and give some new results along the way. For instance, several new properties of a minimal counterexample to the conjecture are obtained and a lower bound for the domination number is proved for products of claw‐free graphs with arbitrary graphs. Open problems, questions and related conjectures are discussed throughout the paper. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 69: 46–76, 2012     

Recursive generation of partitionable graphs

Results of Lovász (1972) and Padberg (1974) imply that partitionable graphs contain all the potential counterexamples to Berge's famous Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture. A recursive method of generating partitionable graphs was suggested by Chvátal, Graham, Perold, and Whitesides (1979). Results of Seb? (1996) entail that Berge's conjecture holds for all the partitionable graphs obtained by this method. Here we suggest a more general recursion. Computer experiments show that it generates all the partitionable graphs with ω=3,α ≤ 9 (and we conjecture that the same will hold for bigger α, too) and many but not all for (ω,α)=(4,4) and (4,5). Here, α and ω are respectively the clique and stability numbers of a partitionable graph, that is the numbers of vertices in its maximum cliques and stable sets. All the partitionable graphs generated by our method contain a critical ω‐clique, that is an ω‐clique which intersects only 2ω?2 other ω‐cliques. This property might imply that in our class there are no counterexamples to Berge's conjecture (cf. Seb? (1996)), however this question is still open. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Regular path decompositions of odd regular graphs

Kotzig asked in 1979 what are necessary and sufficient conditions for a d‐regular simple graph to admit a decomposition into paths of length d for odd d>3. For cubic graphs, the existence of a 1‐factor is both necessary and sufficient. Even more, each 1‐factor is extendable to a decomposition of the graph into paths of length 3 where the middle edges of the paths coincide with the 1‐factor. We conjecture that existence of a 1‐factor is indeed a sufficient condition for Kotzig's problem. For general odd regular graphs, most 1‐factors appear to be extendable and we show that for the family of simple 5‐regular graphs with no cycles of length 4, all 1‐factors are extendable. However, for d>3 we found infinite families of d‐regular simple graphs with non‐extendable 1‐factors. Few authors have studied the decompositions of general regular graphs. We present examples and open problems; in particular, we conjecture that in planar 5‐regular graphs all 1‐factors are extendable. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 63: 114–128, 2010     

An approximate version of Hadwiger's conjecture for claw‐free graphs

Hadwiger's conjecture states that every graph with chromatic number χ has a clique minor of size χ. In this paper we prove a weakened version of this conjecture for the class of claw‐free graphs (graphs that do not have a vertex with three pairwise nonadjacent neighbors). Our main result is that a claw‐free graph with chromatic number χ has a clique minor of size $\lceil\frac{2}{3}\chi\rceil$. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 63: 259–278, 2010     

Claw‐Free Graphs,Skeletal Graphs,and a Stronger Conjecture on ω, Δ, and χ

The second author's (B.A.R.) ω, Δ, χ conjecture proposes that every graph satisfies . In this article, we prove that the conjecture holds for all claw‐free graphs. Our approach uses the structure theorem of Chudnovsky and Seymour. Along the way, we discuss a stronger local conjecture, and prove that it holds for claw‐free graphs with a three‐colorable complement. To prove our results, we introduce a very useful χ‐preserving reduction on homogeneous pairs of cliques, and thus restrict our view to so‐called skeletal graphs.
