A Characterization of Cubic Graphs with Paired-Domination Number Three-Fifths Their Order

A paired-dominating set of a graph is a dominating set of vertices whose induced subgraph has a perfect matching, while the paired-domination number is the minimum cardinality of a paired-dominating set in the graph. Recently, Chen et al. (Acta Math Sci Ser A Chin Ed 27(1):166–170, 2007) proved that a cubic graph has paired-domination number at most three-fifths the number of vertices in the graph. In this paper, we show that the Petersen graph is the only connected cubic graph with paired-domination number three-fifths its order.     

Star chromatic numbers and products of graphs

The star-chromatic number of a graph, a concept introduced by Vince, is natural generalization of the chromatic number of a graph. We point out an alternate definition of the star-chromatic number, which sheds new light on the relation of the star-chromatic number and the ordinary chromatic number. This new point of view allows us to answer several problems posed by Vince. We then study the starchromatic number from the perspective of graph homomorphisms and of graph products.

Graph Compositions and Flats of Cycle Matroids

Abstract

We give an alternative method for counting the number of graph compositions of any graph G. In particular we show that counting the number of graph compositions of a graph G is equivalent to counting the number of flats of its cycle matroid. Then we give one condition for non isomorphic graphs to have the same number of graph compositions.     

Inequalities for the Grundy chromatic number of graphs

The Grundy (or First-Fit) chromatic number of a graph G is the maximum number of colors used by the First-Fit coloring of the graph G. In this paper we give upper bounds for the Grundy number of graphs in terms of vertex degrees, girth, clique partition number and for the line graphs. Next we show that if the Grundy number of a graph is large enough then the graph contains a subgraph of prescribed large girth and Grundy number.     

Non-zero component union graph of a finite-dimensional vector space

In this paper, we introduce a graph structure, called non-zero component union graph on finite-dimensional vector spaces. We show that the graph is connected and find its domination number, clique number and chromatic number. It is shown that two non-zero component union graphs are isomorphic if and only if the base vector spaces are isomorphic. In case of finite fields, we study the edge-connectivity and condition under which the graph is Eulerian. Moreover, we provide a lower bound for the independence number of the graph. Finally, we come up with a structural characterization of non-zero component union graph.     

Some topics in cochromatic theory

GivenG, a graph, the cochromatic number,Z(G), ofG is the fewest number of sets into which the vertex set can be partitioned so that each set induces a complete or an empty graph. A graph is critically cochromatic if the removal of any of its vertices decreases its cochromatic number. A graph is uniquely cochromatic if there is exactly one partition of minimum order in which each set induces a complete or an empty graph. A graph is comaximal if the removal of any edge increases its cochromatic number. These and related concepts are examined.

The (conditional) matching preclusion for burnt pancake graphs

The matching preclusion number of a graph is the minimum number of edges whose deletion results in a graph that has neither perfect matchings nor almost-perfect matchings, and the conditional matching preclusion number of a graph is the minimum number of edges whose deletion leaves a resulting graph with no isolated vertices that has neither perfect matchings nor almost perfect matchings. In this paper, we find these two numbers for the burnt pancake graphs and show that every optimal (conditional) matching preclusion set is trivial.     

Embedding Generalized Petersen Graph in Books

A book embedding of a graph $G$ consists of placing the vertices of $G$ on a spine and assigning edges of the graph to pages so that edges in the same page do not cross each other. The page number is a measure of the quality of a book embedding which is the minimum number of pages in which the graph $G$ can be embedded. In this paper, the authors discuss the embedding of the generalized Petersen graph and determine that the page number of the generalized Petersen graph is three in some situations, which is best possible.     

Graph pegging numbers

In graph pegging, we view each vertex of a graph as a hole into which a peg can be placed, with checker-like “pegging moves” allowed. Motivated by well-studied questions in graph pebbling, we introduce two pegging quantities. The pegging number (respectively, the optimal pegging number) of a graph is the minimum number of pegs such that for every (respectively, some) distribution of that many pegs on the graph, any vertex can be reached by a sequence of pegging moves. We prove several basic properties of pegging and analyze the pegging number and optimal pegging number of several classes of graphs, including paths, cycles, products with complete graphs, hypercubes, and graphs of small diameter.

Conditions for graphs to be path partition optimal

The path partition number of a graph is the minimum number of edges we have to add to turn it into a Hamiltonian graph, and the separable degree is the minimum number of edges we have to add to turn it into a 2-connected graph. A graph is called path partition optimal if its path partition number is equal to its separable degree. We study conditions that guarantee path partition optimality. We extend several known results on Hamiltonicity to path partition optimality, in particular results involving degree conditions and induced subgraph conditions.     

The vertex (edge) independence number, vertex (edge) cover number and the least eigenvalue of a graph

In this paper we characterize the unique graph whose least eigenvalue attains the minimum among all graphs of a fixed order and a given vertex (edge) independence number or vertex (edge) cover number, and get some bounds for the vertex (edge) independence number, vertex (edge) cover number of a graph in terms of the least eigenvalue of the graph.     

Parameters Tied to Treewidth

Treewidth is a graph parameter of fundamental importance to algorithmic and structural graph theory. This article surveys several graph parameters tied to treewidth, including separation number, tangle number, well‐linked number, and Cartesian tree product number. We review many results in the literature showing these parameters are tied to treewidth. In a number of cases we also improve known bounds, provide simpler proofs, and show that the inequalities presented are tight.     

List-Coloring Claw-Free Graphs with Small Clique Number

Chudnovsky and Seymour proved that every connected claw-free graph that contains a stable set of size 3 has chromatic number at most twice its clique number. We improve this for small clique size, showing that every claw-free graph with clique number at most 3 is 4-choosable and every claw-free graph with clique number at most 4 is 7-choosable. These bounds are tight.
