设α（Ｇ）表示简单图Ｇ＝（Ｖ，Ｅ）的独立数．本文给出了α（Ｇ）的一个新的下界：α（Ｇ）≥∑ｖ∈Ｖ（λｄ（ｖ）＋１）／（ｄ（ｖ）＋λｄ（ｖ）＋１），其中λｄ（ｖ）＝ｍａｘ｛０，βＮ（ｖ）－ｄ（ｖ）｝，ｄ（ｖ）＝｜Ｎ（ｖ）｜，Ｎ（ｖ）＝｛ｗ∈Ｖ｜（ｖ，ｗ）∈Ｅ｝，βＮ（ｖ）＝ｍｉｎｗ∈Ｎ（ｖ）ｄ（ｗ）．     

高度图的独立集复形

给定图G，称以G的所有独立集为单形的抽象复形I（G）为G的独立集复形．如果两个图G和H的独立集复形I（G）和I（H）的各阶同调群都是同构的，则称两个图是独立同调的．J（G）表示Gc的连通分支数，J3K2（G）表示Gc中同构于（3H2）c的连通分支数．本文研究了最小次δ（G）至少为其阶数|V（G）|减5的图G的独立集复形的结构，对满足δ（G）≥|V（C）|5，δ（H）≥|V（H）|－5的两个图G和H，（I）证明了，G和H独立同调的充要条件为J（G）＝J（H），J3K2（G）＝J3K2（H），且I（G）和I（H）的Euler示性数相同．（Ⅱ）给出了一个在图上计算I（G）的一维Betti数的方法，得到了一个I（G）是无圈复形的充要条件

一个绘制统筹图的算法

统筹图又叫计划网络图。任给一个其元素叫做工序（或作业或活动）的有限偏序集，要绘制它的一个最优统筹图，限含虚工序数目为最少者，是一个尚未从理论上解决的问题。本文讨论了虚工序产生的原因和如何减少虚工序数量的一些途径；指出了高度为二的编序集其最优统筹图含虚工序数目达到最大且等于该偏序集框图的边数的充分必要条件；本文给出了一个绘制最优统筹图的近似算法，此算法弥补了文[2]和[3]所给算法的一些不足之处。

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.

设F为图G的一个支撑子图.如果对所有x∈V(G),有d_F(x)∈{1,3,…,2n-1),则称F为G的一个(1,3,…,2n-1)一因子;如果对所有x∈V(G),有d_F(x)=k,则称F为G的一个k-因子.本文以图的顶点邻集对一个图具有包含任一条给定边的{1,3,…,2n-1)-因子和k-因子分别给出了充分条件.     

Bounds on the clique-transversal number of regular graphs

A clique-transversal set D of a graph G is a set of vertices of G such that D meets all cliques of G.The clique-transversal number,denoted Tc(G),is the minimum cardinality of a clique- transversal set in G.In this paper we present the bounds on the clique-transversal number for regular graphs and characterize the extremal graphs achieving the lower bound.Also,we give the sharp bounds on the clique-transversal number for claw-free cubic graphs and we characterize the extremal graphs achieving the lower bound.     

Distance-hereditary graphs are clique-perfect

In this paper, we show that the clique-transversal number τ_C(G) and the clique-independence number α_C(G) are equal for any distance-hereditary graph G. As a byproduct of proving that τ_C(G)=α_C(G), we give a linear-time algorithm to find a minimum clique-transversal set and a maximum clique-independent set simultaneously for distance-hereditary graphs.     

Some remarks on the geodetic number of a graph

A set of vertices D of a graph G is geodetic if every vertex of G lies on a shortest path between two not necessarily distinct vertices in D. The geodetic number of G is the minimum cardinality of a geodetic set of G.We prove that it is NP-complete to decide for a given chordal or chordal bipartite graph G and a given integer k whether G has a geodetic set of cardinality at most k. Furthermore, we prove an upper bound on the geodetic number of graphs without short cycles and study the geodetic number of cographs, split graphs, and unit interval graphs.     

On graphs determining links with maximal number of components via medial construction

Let G be a connected plane graph, D(G) be the corresponding link diagram via medial construction, and μ(D(G)) be the number of components of the link diagram D(G). In this paper, we first provide an elementary proof that μ(D(G))≤n(G)+1, where n(G) is the nullity of G. Then we lay emphasis on the extremal graphs, i.e. the graphs with μ(D(G))=n(G)+1. An algorithm is given firstly to judge whether a graph is extremal or not, then we prove that all extremal graphs can be obtained from K₁ by applying two graph operations repeatedly. We also present a dual characterization of extremal graphs and finally we provide a simple criterion on structures of bridgeless extremal graphs.     

Maximal and minimal entry in the principal eigenvector for the distance matrix of a graph

Let G=(V,E) be a simple, connected and undirected graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). Also let D(G) be the distance matrix of a graph G (Jane?i? et al., 2007) [13]. Here we obtain Nordhaus–Gaddum-type result for the spectral radius of distance matrix of a graph.A sharp upper bound on the maximal entry in the principal eigenvector of an adjacency matrix and signless Laplacian matrix of a simple, connected and undirected graph are investigated in Das (2009) [4] and Papendieck and Recht (2000) [15]. Generally, an upper bound on the maximal entry in the principal eigenvector of a symmetric nonnegative matrix with zero diagonal entries and without zero diagonal entries are investigated in Zhao and Hong (2002) [21] and Das (2009) [4], respectively. In this paper, we obtain an upper bound on minimal entry in the principal eigenvector for the distance matrix of a graph and characterize extremal graphs. Moreover, we present the lower and upper bounds on maximal entry in the principal eigenvector for the distance matrix of a graph and characterize extremal graphs.     

Partial characterizations of clique-perfect and coordinated graphs: Superclasses of triangle-free graphs

A graph G is clique-perfect if the cardinality of a maximum clique-independent set of H equals the cardinality of a minimum clique-transversal of H, for every induced subgraph H of G. A graph G is coordinated if the minimum number of colors that can be assigned to the cliques of H in such a way that no two cliques with non-empty intersection receive the same color equals the maximum number of cliques of H with a common vertex, for every induced subgraph H of G. Coordinated graphs are a subclass of perfect graphs. The complete lists of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs for the classes of clique-perfect and coordinated graphs are not known, but some partial characterizations have been obtained. In this paper, we characterize clique-perfect and coordinated graphs by minimal forbidden induced subgraphs when the graph is either paw-free or {gem, W₄, bull}-free, both superclasses of triangle-free graphs.     

Invalid proofs on incidence coloring

Incidence coloring of a graph G is a mapping from the set of incidences to a color-set C such that adjacent incidences of G are assigned distinct colors. Since 1993, numerous fruitful results as regards incidence coloring have been proved. However, some of them are incorrect. We remedy the error of the proof in [R.A. Brualdi, J.J.Q. Massey, Incidence and strong edge colorings of graphs, Discrete Math. 122 (1993) 51-58] concerning complete bipartite graphs. Also, we give an example to show that an outerplanar graph with Δ=4 is not 5-incidence colorable, which contradicts [S.D. Wang, D.L. Chen, S.C. Pang, The incidence coloring number of Halin graphs and outerplanar graphs, Discrete Math. 256 (2002) 397-405], and prove that the incidence chromatic number of the outerplanar graph with Δ≥7 is Δ+1. Moreover, we prove that the incidence chromatic number of the cubic Halin graph is 5. Finally, to improve the lower bound of the incidence chromatic number, we give some sufficient conditions for graphs that cannot be (Δ+1)-incidence colorable.     

Total domination dot-stable graphs

A set S of vertices in a graph G is a total dominating set if every vertex of G is adjacent to some vertex in S. The minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G is the total domination number of G. Two vertices of G are said to be dotted (identified) if they are combined to form one vertex whose open neighborhood is the union of their neighborhoods minus themselves. We note that dotting any pair of vertices cannot increase the total domination number. Further we show it can decrease the total domination number by at most 2. A graph is total domination dot-stable if dotting any pair of adjacent vertices leaves the total domination number unchanged. We characterize the total domination dot-stable graphs and give a sharp upper bound on their total domination number. We also characterize the graphs attaining this bound.     

无爪图上团横贯数的界

设 G=(V,E) 为简单图,图 G 的每个至少有两个顶点的极大完全子图称为 G 的一个团. 一个顶点子集 S\subseteq V 称为图 G 的团横贯集, 如果 S 与 G 的所有团都相交,即对于 G 的任意的团 C 有 S\cap{V(C)}\neq\emptyset. 图 G 的团横贯数是图 G 的最小团横贯集所含顶点的数目,记为~${\large\tau}_{C}(G)$. 证明了棱柱图的补图(除5-圈外)、非奇圈的圆弧区间图和 Hex-连接图这三类无爪图的团横贯数不超过其阶数的一半.     

New constructions of hypohamiltonian and hypotraceable graphs

A graph G is hypohamiltonian/hypotraceable if it is not hamiltonian/traceable, but all vertex‐deleted subgraphs of G are hamiltonian/traceable. All known hypotraceable graphs are constructed using hypohamiltonian graphs; here we present a construction that uses so‐called almost hypohamiltonian graphs (nonhamiltonian graphs, whose vertex‐deleted subgraphs are hamiltonian with exactly one exception, see [15]). This construction is an extension of a method of Thomassen [11]. As an application, we construct a planar hypotraceable graph of order 138, improving the best‐known bound of 154 [8]. We also prove a structural type theorem showing that hypotraceable graphs possessing some connectivity properties are all built using either Thomassen's or our method. We also prove that if G is a Grinbergian graph without a triangular region, then G is not maximal nonhamiltonian and using the proof method we construct a hypohamiltonian graph of order 36 with crossing number 1, improving the best‐known bound of 46 [14].
