随机图的独立数和分数匹配数的一个注记（英文）

设I为图G顶点集的子集.如果I中的任意两个点均不相邻,则称I为G的独立集.G的最大独立集的阶数称为独立数,记为α(G).图G的分数匹配是边集上的函数f∈[0,1],使得对每个顶点v都有∑f(e)≤1,这里是对所有与顶点v相关联边的函数值求和.分数匹配数β(G)是所有的分数匹配f中∑₍e∈E(G))f(e)的最大值.本文给出了随机图上关于独立数α(G)与分数匹配数β(G)的一些结果.

双圈图的零度与其匹配数之间的关系

Let G be a graph with n(G) vertices and m(G) be its matching number.The nullity of G,denoted by η(G),is the multiplicity of the eigenvalue zero of adjacency matrix of G.It is well known that if G is a tree,then η(G) = n(G)-2m(G).Guo et al.[Jiming GUO,Weigen YAN,Yeongnan YEH.On the nullity and the matching number of unicyclic graphs.Linear Alg.Appl.,2009,431:1293 1301]proved that if G is a unicyclic graph,then η(G)equals n(G)-2m(G)-1,n(G)-2m(G),or n(G)-2m(G) +2.In this paper,we prove that if G is a bicyclic graph,then η(G) equals n(G)-2m(G),n(G)-2m(G)±1,n(G)-2m(G)±2or n(G)-2m(G) + 4.We also give a characterization of these six types of bicyclic graphs corresponding to each nullity.

Induced Matching Extendable Graph Powers

A graph G is called induced matching extendable (shortly, IM-extendable) if every induced matching of G is included in a perfect matching of G. A graph G is called strongly IM-extendable if every spanning supergraph of G is IM-extendable. The k-th power of a graph G, denoted by G^k, is the graph with vertex set V(G) in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if the distance between them in G is at most k. We obtain the following two results which give positive answers to two conjectures of Yuan. Result 1. If a connected graph G with |V(G)| even is locally connected, then G² is strongly IM-extendable. Result 2. If G is a 2-connected graph with |V(G)| even, then G³ is strongly IM-extendable. Research Supported by NSFC Fund 10371102.     

The Pseudoachromatic Number of a Graph

The pseudoachromatic number of a graph G is the maximum size of a vertex partition of G (where the sets of the partition may or may not be independent) such that, between any two distinct parts, there is at least one edge of G. This parameter is determined for graphs such as cycles, paths, wheels, certain complete multipartite graphs, and for other classes of graphs. Some open problems are raised.AMS Subject Classification (1991): primary 05C75 secondary 05C85     

The Convexity Number of a Graph

 For two vertices u and v of a connected graph G, the set I[u,v] consists of all those vertices lying on a u−v shortest path in G, while for a set S of vertices of G, the set I[S] is the union of all sets I[u,v] for u,v∈S. A set S is convex if I[S]=S. The convexity number con(G) of G is the maximum cardinality of a proper convex set of G. The clique number ω(G) is the maximum cardinality of a clique in G. If G is a connected graph of order n that is not complete, then n≥3 and 2≤ω(G)≤con(G)≤n−1. It is shown that for every triple l,k,n of integers with n≥3 and 2≤l≤k≤n−1, there exists a noncomplete connected graph G of order n with ω(G)=l and con(G)=k. Other results on convex numbers are also presented. Received: August 19, 1998 Final version received: May 17, 2000     

On the Eigenvalue Two and Matching Number of a Tree

In [6],Guo and Tan have shown that 2 is a Laplacian eigenvalue of any tree with perfect matchings.For trees without perfect matchings,we study whether 2 is one of its Laplacian eigenvalues.If the matchingnumber is 1 or 2,the answer is negative;otherwise,there exists a tree with that matching number which has (hasnot) the eigenvalue 2.In particular,we determine all trees with matching number 3 which has the eigenvalue2.     

The Forcing Convexity Number of a Graph

For two vertices u and v of a connected graph G, the set I(u,v) consists of all those vertices lying on a u-v geodesic in G. For a set S of vertices of G, the union of all sets I(u,v) for u, v S is denoted by I(S). A set S is a convex set if I(S) = S. The convexity number con(G) of G is the maximum cardinality of a proper convex set of G. A convex set S in G with |S| = con(G) is called a maximum convex set. A subset T of a maximum convex set S of a connected graph G is called a forcing subset for S if S is the unique maximum convex set containing T. The forcing convexity number f(S, con) of S is the minimum cardinality among the forcing subsets for S, and the forcing convexity number f(G, con) of G is the minimum forcing convexity number among all maximum convex sets of G. The forcing convexity numbers of several classes of graphs are presented, including complete bipartite graphs, trees, and cycles. For every graph G, f(G, con) con(G). It is shown that every pair a, b of integers with 0 a b and b is realizable as the forcing convexity number and convexity number, respectively, of some connected graph. The forcing convexity number of the Cartesian product of H × K ₂ for a nontrivial connected graph H is studied.     

Tight Lower Bounds on the Size of a Maximum Matching in a Regular Graph

In this paper we study tight lower bounds on the size of a maximum matching in a regular graph. For k ≥3, let G be a connected k-regular graph of order n and let α′(G) be the size of a maximum matching in G. We show that if k is even, then , while if k is odd, then . We show that both bounds are tight. Research supported in part by the South African National Research Foundation and the University of KwaZulu-Natal.
