A hamiltonian graph G of order n is k-ordered, 2 ≤ k ≤ n, if for every sequence v1, v2, …, vk of k distinct vertices of G, there exists a hamiltonian cycle that encounters v1, v2, …, vk in this order. Theorems by Dirac and Ore, presenting sufficient conditions for a graph to be hamiltonian, are generalized to k-ordered hamiltonian graphs. The existence of k-ordered graphs with small maximum degree is investigated; in particular, a family of 4-regular 4-ordered graphs is described. A graph G of order n ≥ 3 is k-hamiltonian-connected, 2 ≤ k ≤ n, if for every sequence v1, v2, …, vk of k distinct vertices, G contains a v1-vk hamiltonian path that encounters v1, v2,…, vk in this order. It is shown that for k ≥ 3, every (k + 1)-hamiltonian-connected graph is k-ordered and a result of Ore on hamiltonian-connected graphs is generalized to k-hamiltonian-connected graphs. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

For a positive integer k, a graph G is k-ordered hamiltonian if for every ordered sequence of k vertices there is a hamiltonian cycle that encounters the vertices of the sequence in the given order. It is shown that if G is a graph of order n with 3 ≤ k ≤ n/2, and deg(u) + deg(v) ≥ n + (3k − 9)/2 for every pair u, v of nonadjacent vertices of G, then G is k-ordered hamiltonian. Minimum degree conditions are also given for k-ordered hamiltonicity. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 42: 199–210, 2003 相似文献

It is shown that if G is a graph of order n with minimum degree δ(G), then for any set of k specified vertices {v1,v2,…,vk} ? V(G), there is a 2‐factor of G with precisely k cycles {C1,C2,…,Ck} such that vi ∈ V(Ci) for (1 ≤ i ≤ k) if or 3k + 1 ≤ n ≤ 4k, or 4k ≤ n ≤ 6k ? 3,δ(G) ≥ 3k ? 1 or n ≥ 6k ? 3, . Examples are described that indicate this result is sharp. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 43: 188–198, 2003 相似文献

For a graph G, let σ2(G) denote the minimum degree sum of a pair of nonadjacent vertices. We conjecture that if |V(G)| = n = Σki = 1 ai and σ2(G) ≥ n + k − 1, then for any k vertices v1, v2,…, vk in G, there exist vertex‐disjoint paths P1, P2,…, Pk such that |V(Pi)| = ai and vi is an endvertex of Pi for 1 ≤ i ≤ k. In this paper, we verify the conjecture for the cases where almost all ai ≤ 5, and the cases where k ≤ 3. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 34: 163–169, 2000 相似文献

It is known that if G is a connected simple graph, then G3 is Hamiltonian (in fact, Hamilton-connected). A simple graph is k-ordered Hamiltonian if for any sequence v1, v2,…,vk of k vertices there is a Hamiltonian cycle containing these vertices in the given order. In this paper, we prove that if k?4, then G⌊3k/2⌋-2 is k-ordered Hamiltonian for every connected graph G on at least k vertices. By considering the case of the path graph Pn, we show that this result is sharp. We also give a lower bound on the power of the cycle Cn that guarantees k-ordered Hamiltonicity. 相似文献

The generalized Petersen graph GP (n, k), n ≤ 3, 1 ≥ k < n/2 is a cubic graph with vertex-set {uj; i ? Zn} ∪ {vj; i ? Zn}, and edge-set {uiui, uivi, vivi+k, i?Zn}. In the paper we prove that (i) GP(n, k) is a Cayley graph if and only if k2 ? 1 (mod n); and (ii) GP(n, k) is a vertex-transitive graph that is not a Cayley graph if and only if k2 ? -1 (mod n) or (n, k) = (10, 2), the exceptional graph being isomorphic to the 1-skeleton of the dodecahedon. The proof of (i) is based on the classification of orientable regular embeddings of the n-dipole, the graph consisting of two vertices and n parallel edges, while (ii) follows immediately from (i) and a result of R.

Improper choosability of planar graphs has been widely studied. In particular, ?krekovski investigated the smallest integer gk such that every planar graph of girth at least gk is k‐improper 2‐choosable. He proved [9] that 6 ≤ g1 ≤ 9; 5 ≤ g2 ≤ 7; 5 ≤ g3 ≤ 6; and ? k ≥ 4, gk = 5. In this article, we study the greatest real M(k, l) such that every graph of maximum average degree less than M(k, l) is k‐improper l‐choosable. We prove that if l ≥ 2 then . As a corollary, we deduce that g1 ≤ 8 and g2 ≤ 6, and we obtain new results for graphs of higher genus. We also provide an upper bound for M(k, l). This implies that for any fixed l, . © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 52: 181–199, 2006 相似文献

A graph G is κ-ordered Hamiltonian 2≤κ≤n,if for every ordered sequence S of κ distinct vertices of G,there exists a Hamiltonian cycle that encounters S in the given order,In this article,we prove that if G is a graph on n vertices with degree sum of nonadjacent vertices at least n 3κ-9/2,then G is κ-ordered Hamiltonian for κ=3,4,…,[n/19].We also show that the degree sum bound can be reduced to n 2[κ/2]-2 if κ(G)≥3κ-1/2 or δ(G)≥5κ-4.Several known results are generalized. 相似文献

Given integers k, n, 2 < k < n, let us define a graph with vertex set V = {F ?{1, 2, …, n}: ∩F = k}, and (F, F') is an edge if |F ∩ F′| ≤ 1. We show that for n > n0(k) the chromatic number of this graph is (k - 1)() + rs, where n = (k - 1)s + r, 0 ≤ r < k - 1. 相似文献

A noncomplete graph G is called an (n, k)‐graph if it is n‐connected and G − X is not (n − |X| + 1)‐connected for any X ⊆ V(G) with |X| ≤ k. Mader conjectured that for k ≥ 3 the graph K2k + 2 − (1‐factor) is the unique (2k, k)‐graph. We settle this conjecture for strongly regular graphs, for edge transitive graphs, and for vertex transitive graphs. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 36: 35–51, 2001 相似文献

For a graph G and an integer k ≥ 1, let ςk(G) = dG(vi): {v1, …, vk} is an independent set of vertices in G}. Enomoto proved the following theorem. Let s ≥ 1 and let G be a (s + 2)-connected graph. Then G has a cycle of length ≥ min{|V(G)|, ς2(G) − s} passing through any path of length s. We generalize this result as follows. Let k ≥ 3 and s ≥ 1 and let G be a (k + s − 1)-connected graph. Then G has a cycle of length ≥ min{|V(G)|, − s} passing through any path of length s. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Graph Theory 29: 177–184, 1998 相似文献

For a graph G and an integer k, denote by Vk the set {v ∈ V(G) | d(v) ≥ k}. Veldman proved that if G is a 2-connected graph of order n with n ≤ 3k - 2 and |Vk| ≤ k, then G has a cycle containing all vertices of Vk. It is shown that the upper bound k on |Vk| is close to best possible in general. For the special case k = δ(G), it is conjectured that the condition |Vk| ≤ k can be omitted. Using a variation of Woodall's Hopping Lemma, the conjecture is proved under the additional condition that n ≤ 2δ(G) + δ(G) + 1. This result is an almost-generalization of Jackson's Theorem that every 2-connected k-regular graph of order n with n ≤ 3k is hamiltonian. An alternative proof of an extension of Jackson's Theorem is also presented. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Given graphs H1,…, Hk, let f(H1,…, Hk) be the minimum order of a graph G such that for each i, the induced copies of Hi in G cover V(G). We prove constructively that f(H1, H2) ≤ 2(n(H1) + n(H2) − 2); equality holds when H1 = H 2 = Kn. We prove that f(H1, K n) = n + 2√δ(H1)n + O(1) as n → ∞. We also determine f(K1, m −1, K n) exactly. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 34: 180–190, 2000 相似文献

Given positive integers n and k, let gk(n) denote the maximum number of edges of a graph on n vertices that does not contain a cycle with k chords incident to a vertex on the cycle. Bollobás conjectured as an exercise in [2, p. 398, Problem 13] that there exists a function n(k) such that gk(n) = (k + 1)n ? (k + 1)2 for all n ≥ n(k). Using an old result of Bondy [ 3 ], we prove the conjecture, showing that n(k) ≤ 3 k + 3. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 46: 180–182, 2004 相似文献

For integers m, n ≥ 2, let g(m, n) be the minimum order of a graph, where every vertex belongs to both a clique Km of order m and a biclique K(n, n). We show that g(m, n) = 2(m + n − 2) if m ≤ n − 2. Furthermore, for m ≥ n − 1, we establish that ≡ 0 mod(n − 1) or, if m is sufficiently large and is not an integer. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 34: 60–66, 2000 相似文献

A graph G = (V, E) is k-edge-connected if for any subset E′ ⊆ E,|E′| < k, G − E′ is connected. A dk-tree T of a connected graph G = (V, E) is a spanning tree satisfying that ∀v ∈ V, dT(v) ≤ + α, where [·] is a lower integer form and α depends on k. We show that every k-edge-connected graph with k ≥ 2, has a dk-tree, and α = 1 for k = 2, α = 2 for k ≥ 3. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 28: 87–95, 1998 相似文献

Let k ≥ 2 be an integer. A function f: V(G) → {?1, 1} defined on the vertex set V(G) of a graph G is a signed k-independence function if the sum of its function values over any closed neighborhood is at most k ? 1. That is, Σ x∈N[v] f(x) ≤ k ? 1 for every v ∈ V(G), where N[v] consists of v and every vertex adjacent to v. The weight of a signed k-independence function f is w(f) = Σ v∈V(G) f(v). The maximum weight w(f), taken over all signed k-independence functions f on G, is the signed k-independence number α s k (G) of G. In this work, we mainly present upper bounds on α s k (G), as for example α s k (G) ≤ n ? 2?(Δ(G) + 2 ? k)/2?, and we prove the Nordhaus-Gaddum type inequality $\alpha _S^k \left( G \right) + \alpha _S^k \left( {\bar G} \right) \leqslant n + 2k - 3$ , where n is the order, Δ(G) the maximum degree and $\bar G$ the complement of the graph G. Some of our results imply well-known bounds on the signed 2-independence number. 相似文献

We say that a simple graph G is induced matching extendable, shortly IM-extendable, if every induced matching of G is included in a perfect matching of G. The main results of this paper are as follows: (1) For every connected IM-extendable graph G with |V(G)| ≥ 4, the girth g(G) ≤ 4. (2) If G is a connected IM-extendable graph, then |E(G)| ≥ ${3\over 2}|V(G)| - 2$; the equality holds if and only if G ≅ T × K2, where T is a tree. (3) The only 3-regular connected IM-extendable graphs are Cn × K2, for n ≥ 3, and C2n(1, n), for n ≥ 2, where C2n(1, n) is the graph with 2n vertices x0, x1, …, x2n−1, such that xixj is an edge of C2n(1, n) if either |i − j| ≡ 1 (mod 2n) or |i − j| ≡ n (mod 2n). © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A (k; g)-graph is a k-regular graph with girth g. Let f(k; g) be the smallest integer v such there exists a (k; g)-graph with v vertices. A (k; g)-cage is a (k; g)-graph with f(k; g) vertices. In this paper we prove that the cages are monotonic in that f(k; g1) < f(k; g2) for all k ≥ 3 and 3 ≥ g1 < g2. We use this to prove that (k; g)-cages are 2-connected, and if k = 3 then their connectivity is k. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献
