A lower bound on the total signed domination numbers of graphs

Let G be a finite connected simple graph with a vertex set V(G)and an edge set E(G). A total signed domination function of G is a function f:V(G)∪E(G)→{-1,1}.The weight of f is W(f)=∑_(x∈V)(G)∪E(G))f(X).For an element x∈V(G)∪E(G),we define f[x]=∑_(y∈NT[x])f(y).A total signed domination function of G is a function f:V(G)∪E(G)→{-1,1} such that f[x]≥1 for all x∈V(G)∪E(G).The total signed domination numberγ_s~*(G)of G is the minimum weight of a total signed domination function on G. In this paper,we obtain some lower bounds for the total signed domination number of a graph G and compute the exact values ofγ_s~*(G)when G is C_n and P_n.     

Signed Roman (Total) Domination Numbers of Complete Bipartite Graphs and Wheels

A signed(res. signed total) Roman dominating function, SRDF(res.STRDF) for short, of a graph G =(V, E) is a function f : V → {-1, 1, 2} satisfying the conditions that(i)∑v∈N[v]f(v) ≥ 1(res.∑v∈N(v)f(v) ≥ 1) for any v ∈ V, where N [v] is the closed neighborhood and N(v) is the neighborhood of v, and(ii) every vertex v for which f(v) =-1 is adjacent to a vertex u for which f(u) = 2. The weight of a SRDF(res. STRDF) is the sum of its function values over all vertices.The signed(res. signed total) Roman domination number of G is the minimum weight among all signed(res. signed total) Roman dominating functions of G. In this paper,we compute the exact values of the signed(res. signed total) Roman domination numbers of complete bipartite graphs and wheels.     

On the Characterization of Maximal Planar Graphs with a Given Signed Cycle Domination Number

Let G =(V, E) be a simple graph. A function f : E → {+1,-1} is called a signed cycle domination function(SCDF) of G if ∑_(e∈E(C))f(e) ≥ 1 for every induced cycle C of G. The signed cycle domination number of G is defined as γ'_(sc)(G) = min{∑_(e∈E)f(e)| f is an SCDF of G}. This paper will characterize all maximal planar graphs G with order n ≥ 6 and γ'_(sc)(G) = n.     

On the adjacent-vertex-strongly-distinguishing total coloring of graphs

For any vertex u∈V(G), let T_N(U)={u}∪{uv|uv∈E(G), v∈v(G)}∪{v∈v(G)|uv∈E(G)}and let f be a total k-coloring of G. The total-color neighbor of a vertex u of G is the color set C_f(u)={f(x)|x∈TN(U)}. For any two adjacent vertices x and y of V(G)such that C_f(x)≠C_f(y), we refer to f as a k-avsdt-coloring of G("avsdt"is the abbreviation of"adjacent-vertex-strongly- distinguishing total"). The avsdt-coloring number of G, denoted by X_(ast)(G), is the minimal number of colors required for a avsdt-coloring of G. In this paper, the avsdt-coloring numbers on some familiar graphs are studied, such as paths, cycles, complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs and so on. We proveΔ(G) 1≤X_(ast)(G)≤Δ(G) 2 for any tree or unique cycle graph G.     

关于图的符号边全控制数

Let G = （V,E） be a graph.A function f ： E → {-1,1} is said to be a signed edge total dominating function （SETDF） of G if e ∈N（e） f（e ） ≥ 1 holds for every edge e ∈ E（G）.The signed edge total domination number γ st （G） of G is defined as γ st （G） = min{ e∈E（G） f（e）｜f is an SETDF of G}.In this paper we obtain some new lower bounds of γ st （G）.     

The fractional metric dimension of permutation graphs

Let G =(V(G), E(G)) be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). For two distinct vertices x and y of a graph G, let RG{x, y} denote the set of vertices z such that the distance from x to z is not equa l to the distance from y to z in G. For a function g defined on V(G) and for U■V(G), let g(U) =∑s∈Ug(s). A real-valued function g : V(G) → [0, 1] is a resolving function of G if g(RG{x, y}) ≥ 1 for any two distinct vertices x, y ∈ V(G). The fractional metric dimension dimf(G)of a graph G is min{g(V(G)) : g is a resolving function of G}. Let G1 and G2 be disjoint copies of a graph G, and let σ : V(G1) → V(G2) be a bijection. Then, a permutation graph Gσ =(V, E) has the vertex set V = V(G1) ∪ V(G2) and the edge set E = E(G1) ∪ E(G2) ∪ {uv | v = σ(u)}. First,we determine dimf(T) for any tree T. We show that 1 dimf(Gσ) ≤1/2(|V(G)| + |S(G)|) for any connected graph G of order at least 3, where S(G) denotes the set of support vertices of G. We also show that, for any ε 0, there exists a permutation graph Gσ such that dimf(Gσ)- 1 ε. We give examples showing that neither is there a function h1 such that dimf(G) h1(dimf(Gσ)) for all pairs(G, σ), nor is there a function h2 such that h2(dimf(G)) dimf(Gσ) for all pairs(G, σ). Furthermore,we investigate dimf(Gσ) when G is a complete k-partite graph or a cycle.     

Frequency Assignment through Combinatorial Optimization Approach

An L(2,1)-labeling of a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V(G) to the set of all nonnegative integers such that |f(x)-f(y)|(?)2 if d(x, y)=1 and |f(x)-f(y)|(?)1 if d(x,y)=2. The L(2,1)-labeling numberλ(G) of G is the smallest number k such that G has an L(2,1)-labeling with max{f(v) : v∈V(G)}=k. We study the L(3,2,1)-labeling which is a generalization of the L(2,1)-labeling on the graph formed by the (Cartesian) product and composition of 3 graphs and derive the upper bounds ofλs(G) of the graph.     

On Trees with Double Domination Number Equal to the 2-Outer-Independent Domination Number Plus One

A vertex of a graph is said to dominate itself and all of its neighbors.A double dominating set of a graph G is a set D of vertices of G,such that every vertex of G is dominated by at least two vertices of D.The double domination number of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of a double dominating set of G.For a graph G =(V,E),a subset D V(G) is a 2-dominating set if every vertex of V(G) \ D has at least two neighbors in D,while it is a 2-outer-independent dominating set of G if additionally the set V(G)\D is independent.The 2-outer-independent domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a 2-outer-independent dominating set of G.This paper characterizes all trees with the double domination number equal to the 2-outer-independent domination number plus one.     

The product of the restrained domination numbers of a graph and its complement

Let G=(V,E) be a graph.A set S■V is a restrained dominating set if every vertex in V-S is adjacent to a vertex in S and to a vertex in V-S.The restrained domination number of G,denoted γr(G),is the smallest cardinality of a restrained dominating set of G.In this paper,we show that if G is a graph of order n≥4,then γr(G)γr(G)≤2n.We also characterize the graphs achieving the upper bound.     

A conjecture on k-factor-critical and 3-γ-critical graphs

For a graph G =(V,E),a subset VS is a dominating set if every vertex in V is either in S or is adjacent to a vertex in S.The domination number γ(G) of G is the minimum order of a dominating set in G.A graph G is said to be domination vertex critical,if γ(G-v) γ(G) for any vertex v in G.A graph G is domination edge critical,if γ(G ∪ e) γ(G) for any edge e ∈/E(G).We call a graph G k-γ-vertex-critical(resp.k-γ-edge-critical) if it is domination vertex critical(resp.domination edge critical) and γ(G) = k.Ananchuen and Plummer posed the conjecture:Let G be a k-connected graph with the minimum degree at least k+1,where k 2 and k≡|V|(mod 2).If G is 3-γ-edge-critical and claw-free,then G is k-factor-critical.In this paper we present a proof to this conjecture,and we also discuss the properties such as connectivity and bicriticality in 3-γ-vertex-critical claw-free graph.     

完全多部图的符号边控制数的界

$f: E(G)\rightarrow\{-1,1\}$称为图$G =(V,E)$的一个符号边控制函数 (简称SEDF),如果$f[e]=f(N[e])=\sum_{e''\in N[e]}f(e'')\geq1$对于图$G$的每条边$e\in E$都成立. $w(f)=\sum_{e\in E}f(e)$称为函数$f$的权. $G$的符号边控制数$\gamma_{s}\,''(G)$是指$G$的所有符号边控制函数的最小权.本文对完全多部图的符号边控制数进行研究.对于完全$r$-部图, 当$r$为偶数并且各部的顶点数相同的情况下,我们得到了这一参数的若干下界和上界.

图的邻点可区别全色数的一个上界

Let G = （V, E） be a simple connected graph, and ｜V（G）｜ ≥ 2. Let f be a mapping from V（G） ∪ E（G） to {1,2…, k}. If arbitary uv ∈ E（G）,f（u） ≠ f（v）,f（u） ≠ f（uv）,f（v） ≠ f（uv）; arbitary uv, uw ∈ E（G）（v ≠ w）, f（uv） ≠ f（uw）;arbitary uv ∈ E（G） and u ≠ v, C（u） ≠ C（v）, where
C（u）={f（u）}∪{f（uv）｜uv∈E（G）}.
Then f is called a k-adjacent-vertex-distinguishing-proper-total coloring of the graph G（k-AVDTC of G for short）. The number min{k｜k-AVDTC of G} is called the adjacent vertex-distinguishing total chromatic number and denoted by χat（G）. In this paper we prove that if △（G） is at least a particular constant and δ ≥32√△ln△, then χat（G） ≤ △（G） ＋ 10^26 ＋ 2√△ln△.

环状硅酸盐图的友好指数集

Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A labeling f : V(G) →Z2 induces an edge labeling f*: E(G) → Z2 defined by f*(xy) = f(x) + f(y), for each edge xy ∈ E(G). For i ∈ Z2, let vf(i) = |{v ∈ V(G) : f(v) = i}| and ef(i) = |{e ∈ E(G) : f*(e) =i}|. A labeling f of a graph G is said to be friendly if |vf(0)- vf(1)| ≤ 1. The friendly index set of the graph G, denoted FI(G), is defined as {|ef(0)- ef(1)|: the vertex labeling f is friendly}. This is a generalization of graph cordiality. We investigate the friendly index sets of cyclic silicates CS(n, m).
