临界κ连通图中的点度数

如果在—个κ连通图G中删掉任意一个顶点后得到的图都不再是κ连通,则称G为临界κ连通.Chartrand,Kaugars和Lick证明了每一个临界κ连通图(κ≥2)都含有一个度数小于(3κ-1)/2的顶点.Hamidoune进一步证明了每一个临界k连通图都至少含有两个这样的顶点,并且这一下界是最优的.在本文中,我们证明如果一个临界κ连通图恰好含有两个度数小于(3κ-1)/2的顶点,则这两个顶点的度数一定是κ.     

收缩临界5-连通图的平均度

M．Kriesell证明了收缩临界5-连通图的平均度不超过24并猜想收缩临界5-连通图的平均度小于10．本文构造了一个反例证明M．Kriesell的猜想不成立并给出了收缩临界5-连通图平均度新的上界．     

随机图的广义3-连通度

图的广义连通度的概念是由Chartrand等人引入的.令S表示图G的一个非空顶点集,κ(S)表示图G中连结S的内部不交树的最大数目.那么,对任意一个满足2≤r≤n的整数r,定义G的广义r-连通度为所有κ(S)中的最小值,其中S取遍G的顶点集合的r-元子集.显然,κ_2(G)=κ(G),即为图G的顶点连通度.所以广义连通度是经典连通度的一个自然推广.本文研究了随机图的广义3-连通度,证明了对任一给定的整数k,k≥1,p=(log n+(k+1)log long n-log lon logn)/n是关于性质κ_3(G(n,p))≥k的紧阈值函数.我们得到的结果可以看作是Bollobas和Thomason给出的关于经典连通度结果的推广.     

收缩临界6连通图的6度顶点

利用断片的性质,改进了齐恩凤,齐登记等的研究结果,得到了收缩临界6-连通图中6度点的性质的新结果:设x是G中任意一点,设A是一个x-原子,记N_A=T_A,N(x)∩T_A≠Φ,则A∩T_A中有与x相邻的6度点或两点的距离为2.     

K1,4-自由的模κ泛圈图

设G是2-连通的K1，4自由图．本文证明了当δ(G)≥κ 1时，G是模κ泛圈图．这一结果肯定了猜想2，继而也肯定了Thomassen猜想在2-连通图中的正确性．     

外平面图的弱边面染色

假设G是一个平面图.如果e1和e2是G中两条相邻边且在关联的面的边界上连续出现,那么称e1和e2面相邻.图G的一个弱边面κ-染色是指存在映射π:E∪F→{1,…,κ},使得任意两个相邻面、两条面相邻的边以及两个相关联的边和面都染不同的颜色.若图G有一个弱边面κ-染色,则称G是弱边面κ-可染的.平面图G的弱边面色数是指G是弱边面κ-可染的正整数κ的最小值,记为χef(G).2016年,Fabrici等人猜想:每个无环且无割边的连通平面图是弱边面5-可染的.本文证明了外平面图满足此猜想,即:外平面图是弱边面5-可染的.     

笛卡尔乘积图的圈点连通度

图G的圈点连通度,记为κ_c(G),是所有圈点割中最小的数目,其中每个圈点割S满足G-S不连通且至少它的两个分支含圈.这篇文章中给出了两个连通图的笛卡尔乘积的圈点连通度:(1)如果G_1≌K_m且G_2≌K_n,则κ_c(G_1×G_2)=min{3m+n-6,m+3n-6},其中m+n≥8,m≥n+2,或n≥m+2,且κ_c(G_1×G_2)=2m+2n-8,其中m+n≥8,m=n,或n=m+1,或m=n+11;(2)如果G_1≌K_m(m≥3)且G_2■K_n,则min{3m+κ(G_2)-4,m+3κ(G_2)-3,2m+2κ(G_2)-4}≤κ_c(G_1×G_2)≤mκ(G2);(3)如果G_1■K_m,K_(1,m-1)且G_2■K_n,K_(1,n-1),其中m≥4,n≥4,则min{3κ(G_1)+κ(G_2)-1,κ(G_1)+3κ(G_2)-1,2_κ(G_1)+2_κ(G_2)-2}≤κ_c(G_1×G_2)≤min{mκ(G_2),nκ(G_1),2m+2n-8}.     

连通的欧拉生成子图

本文证明了：若G是一个p顶点的、2－边－连通简单图，其边数，q≥(p-4↑ 2) 7，则除K2，5外，G有连通的欧拉生成子图。当q=(p-r↑ 2）＋6和κ′（G）＝2时，本文给出了全部6个极图。     

平方图的可圈性

连通图的幂图的可圈性研究在结构图论中具有十分重要的意义.论文主要解决了Klostermeyer在文献[2]提出的一个开放性问题,至少五个顶点的3连通图的平方图是一类可圈图.     

强哈密尔顿连通有向图的一个注记

利用收缩技术,证明了1)阶为n=2k且最小半度至少是k的有向图D是强哈密尔顿连通的,除非D属于某些图类;2)2强连通且包含n个顶点、(n-1)(n-2)+4条弧的有向图是强哈密尔顿连通的,除非D属于某些图类.     

Every DFS Tree of a 3‐Connected Graph Contains a Contractible Edge

Tutte proved that every 3‐connected graph G on more than 4 vertices contains a contractible edge. We strengthen this result by showing that every depth‐first‐search tree of G contains a contractible edge. Moreover, we show that every spanning tree of G contains a contractible edge if G is 3‐regular or if G does not contain two disjoint pairs of adjacent degree‐3 vertices.     

2‐connected 7‐coverings of 3‐connected graphs on surfaces

An m‐covering of a graph G is a spanning subgraph of G with maximum degree at most m. In this paper, we shall show that every 3‐connected graph on a surface with Euler genus k ≥ 2 with sufficiently large representativity has a 2‐connected 7‐covering with at most 6k ? 12 vertices of degree 7. We also construct, for every surface F² with Euler genus k ≥ 2, a 3‐connected graph G on F² with arbitrarily large representativity each of whose 2‐connected 7‐coverings contains at least 6k ? 12 vertices of degree 7. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

On Commuting Graph of Group Ring $Z_nS_3$

The commuting graph of an arbitrary ring $R$, denoted by $Γ(R)$, is a graph whose vertices are all non-central elements of $R$, and two distinct vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if $ab = ba$. In this paper, we investigate the connectivity and the diameter of $Γ(Z_n S_3)$. We show that $Γ(Z_n S_3)$ is connected if and only if $n$ is not a prime number. If $Γ(Z_n S_3)$ is connected then diam $(Γ(Z_n S_3)) = 3$, while if $Γ(Z_n S_3)$ is disconnected then every connected component of $Γ(Z_n S_3)$ must be a complete graph with same size, and we completely determine the vertice set of every connected component.

P3-支配图哈密尔顿性的两个充分条件

在文献[3]中介绍了一个新的图类-P3-支配图.这个图类包含所有的拟无爪图,因此也包含所有的无爪图.在本文中,我们证明了每一个点数至少是3的三角形连通的P3-支配图是哈密尔顿的,但有一个例外图K1,1,3.同时,我们也证明了k-连通的(k≥2)的P3-支配图是哈密尔顿的,如果an(G)≤k,但有两个例外图K1,1,3 and K2,3.     

A characterization of weakly four‐connected graphs

A graph G = (V, E) is called weakly four‐connected if G is 4‐edge‐connected and G ? x is 2‐edge‐connected for all x ∈ V. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of ‘splittable’ vertices of degree four in weakly four‐connected graphs. By using these results we prove that every minimally weakly four‐connected graph on at least four vertices contains at least three ‘splittable’ vertices of degree four, which gives rise to an inductive construction of weakly four‐connected graphs. Our results can also be applied in the problem of finding 2‐connected orientations of graphs. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 52: 217–229, 2006     

Spanning trees without adjacent vertices of degree 2

Albertson, Berman, Hutchinson, and Thomassen showed in 1990 that there exist highly connected graphs in which every spanning tree contains vertices of degree 2. Using a result of Alon and Wormald, we show that there exists a natural number $d$ such that every graph of minimum degree at least $d$ contains a spanning tree without adjacent vertices of degree 2. Moreover, we prove that every graph with minimum degree at least 3 has a spanning tree without three consecutive vertices of degree 2.     

Closures,cycles, and paths

In 1960 Ore proved the following theorem: Let G be a graph of order n. If d(u) + d(v)≥n for every pair of nonadjacent vertices u and v, then G is hamiltonian. Since then for several other graph properties similar sufficient degree conditions have been obtained, so‐called “Ore‐type degree conditions”. In [R. J. Faudree, R. H. Schelp, A. Saito, and I. Schiermeyer, Discrete Math 307 (2007), 873–877], Faudree et al. strengthened Ore's theorem as follows: They determined the maximum number of pairs of nonadjacent vertices that can have degree sum less than n (i.e. violate Ore's condition) but still imply that the graph is hamiltonian. In this article we prove that for some other graph properties the corresponding Ore‐type degree conditions can be strengthened as well. These graph properties include traceable graphs, hamiltonian‐connected graphs, k‐leaf‐connected graphs, pancyclic graphs, and graphs having a 2‐factor with two components. Graph closures are computed to show these results. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 69: 314–323, 2012     

A local structure theorem on 5‐connected graphs

An edge of a 5‐connected graph is said to be contractible if the contraction of the edge results in a 5‐connected graph. Let x be a vertex of a 5‐connected graph. We prove that if there are no contractible edges whose distance from x is two or less, then either there are two triangles with x in common each of which has a distinct degree five vertex other than x, or there is a specified structure called a K₄^?‐configuration with center x. As a corollary, we show that if a 5‐connected graph on n vertices has no contractible edges, then it has 2n/5 vertices of degree 5. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Vertex-Colored Encompassing Graphs

It is shown that every disconnected vertex-colored plane straight line graph with no isolated vertices can be augmented (by adding edges) into a connected plane straight line graph such that the new edges respect the coloring and the degree of every vertex increases by at most two. The upper bound for the increase of vertex degrees is best possible: there are input graphs that require the addition of two new edges incident to a vertex. The exclusion of isolated vertices is necessary: there are input graphs with isolated vertices that cannot be augmented to a connected vertex-colored plane straight line graph.
