关于正则图直径上界的加强

设G为n阶κ正则简单连通图（κ≥2)，λ是图G的次根，d(G)是图G的直径，如果G不是二部图，且d(G)≠2，则d(G)≤[log(n-1)/log(κ/λ)]，并且当G≌时，这一上界可达．     

关于正则图存在平衡划分的一些结果

一个图G的划分V(G)=V1∪V2,如果满足下列条件:(1)||V1|-|V2||≤1;(2)任给u ∈V(G),当u ∈V1时,满足dG[V1](u)-dG[V2∪{u}](u)≤1;当u ∈V2时,满足dG[V2](u)-dG[V1∪{u}](u)≤1.则称V(G)=V1 ∪ V2为G的一个平衡划分.Bollobas与Scott猜想任一图都存在平衡划分.文中证明了k-正则图存在平衡划分.其中k ∈{3,n-1,n-2,n-3,n-4).对于k=3或n-4的一个特殊情形,还给出了寻找k-正则图平衡划分的算法.     

图G_n的优美表示

将给出三个结果:(i)如果图G是SZ(|S|=n≥2)上的整数和图,那么0∈S当且仅当图G至少有一个(n-1)度顶点;(ii)图G(G≠K2)是至少有两个零点的整数和图当且仅当G■K2·Gn;(iii)设图G(G≠K2)是SZ上的整数和图,|S|=n+2,n∈N+.若图G至少有两个零点,则S={mx|m=-1,0,1,2,…,n;x∈Z且x≠0}.     

一类具有最大末块数和割点数的4-正则图

图G的一个顶点称为割点是指删去该顶点,图的分支数增加,而图G的一个末块是指仅包含G的一个割点的块.对无爪且不含4-团的4-正则图,给出了它的末块数与割点数的上界且刻划了达到这些上界的极值图.     

“关于Γ-图的判定”中的猜测问题

本刊1988年第4期的“关于Г-图的判定”一文中有一个猜测: 猜测 G是Г-图当且仅当G中不含如下的子图为导出子图: (1) C_(2n 1),n≥2;(2)K_3·3K_2(i),0≤i≤3;(3)5K_3. 这个猜测的结论是不成立的.举例说明如下: 设G为图1或图2所示的图.它的所有导出子图中,没有C_(2n 1)(n≥2)或K_3·3K_2(i)和     

无K4—图子式的图的谱半径

G是一个无K4－图子式、顶点数为n的简单图,ρ（G)是图G的谱半径。本文得出一个关于ρ（G）的上解界。ρ（G）≤1/2 √2n-15/4。等式成立当且仅当G≌K2倒△（n-2)K1,其中G1倒△G2是由G1∪G2组成,并且G1中的第一个点和G2中的每一个点之间都有一定边相连：（n-2)K1表示（n-2)个孤立点的集合。     

偶图Kn,r-A(|A|≤3)的圈长分布唯一性

阶为n的图G的圈长分布是序列(c_1,c_2,…,c_n),其中c_i是图G中长为i的圈数。设A(?)E(K_(n,r))。本文得到如下结果：若|A|=2,且n≤r≤min{n 6,2n-5),则G=K_(n,r)-A是由它的圈长分布确定的；若|A|=3,且n≤r≤min{n 6,2n-7),则G=K_(n,r)-A也是由它的圈长分布确定的。     

最大2-正则诱导子图的长度

设G是2-连通图，c(G)是图G的最长诱导圈的长度，c′(G)是图G的最长诱导2-正则子图的长度。本文我们用图的特征值给出了c(G)和c′(G)的几个上界。     

图的{P4}——分解

一个图G的路分解是指一路集合使得G的每条边恰好出现在其中一条路上．记Pl长度为l-1的路，如果G能够分解成若干个Pl，则称G存在{Pl}——分解，关于图的给定长路分解问题主要结果有：（i）连通图G存在{P3}-分解当且仅当G有偶数条边（见[1]）；（ii）连通图G存在{P3，P4}-分解当且仅当G不是C3和奇树，这里C3的长度为3的圈而奇树是所有顶点皆度数为奇数的树（见[3]）．本文讨论了3正则图的{P4}--分解情况，并构造证明了边数为3k（k∈Z且k≥2）的完全图Kn和完全二部图Kr,s存在{P4}-分解.     

含有给定k-正则子图的[a,b]-因子

设G是一个图,并设n,k,r,a和b是整数且满足k≥1,k≤a＜b和n≥3.对于G的给定的k-正则图H,如果G是K1,n-free图,且G的最小度至少是((n(a+1)+b-a-(k+1))/(b-k))「(ab+b-a-k)/(2(n-1))」-(n-1)/(b-k)(「(an+b-a-k)/(2(n-1))」)2-1,那么G有一个[a,b]-因子F使得E(H)(∈)E(F).类似地,也得到了关于图G有一个r-因子含有G中给定的k-正则子图的度条件.进一步,指出这些度条件是最佳的.     

Forbidden induced subgraph characterizations of subclasses and variations of perfect graphs: A survey

A graph is perfect if the chromatic number is equal to the clique number for every induced subgraph of the graph. Perfect graphs were defined by Berge in the sixties. In this survey we present known results about partial characterizations by forbidden induced subgraphs of different graph classes related to perfect graphs. We analyze a variation of perfect graphs, clique-perfect graphs, and two subclasses of perfect graphs, coordinated graphs and balanced graphs.     

On the Zagreb indices of the line graphs of the subdivision graphs

The aim of this paper is to investigate the Zagreb indices of the line graphs of the tadpole graphs, wheel graphs and ladder graphs using the subdivision concepts.     

Partial characterizations of clique-perfect graphs I: Subclasses of claw-free graphs

A clique-transversal of a graph G is a subset of vertices that meets all the cliques of G. A clique-independent set is a collection of pairwise vertex-disjoint cliques. The clique-transversal number and clique-independence number of G are the sizes of a minimum clique-transversal and a maximum clique-independent set of G, respectively. A graph G is clique-perfect if these two numbers are equal for every induced subgraph of G. The list of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs for the class of clique-perfect graphs is not known. In this paper, we present a partial result in this direction; that is, we characterize clique-perfect graphs by a restricted list of forbidden induced subgraphs when the graph belongs to two different subclasses of claw-free graphs.     

On minimal forbidden subgraph characterizations of balanced graphs

A graph is balanced if its clique-matrix contains no edge–vertex incidence matrix of an odd chordless cycle as a submatrix. While a forbidden induced subgraph characterization of balanced graphs is known, there is no such characterization by minimal forbidden induced subgraphs. In this work, we provide minimal forbidden induced subgraph characterizations of balanced graphs restricted to graphs that belong to one of the following graph classes: complements of bipartite graphs, line graphs of multigraphs, and complements of line graphs of multigraphs. These characterizations lead to linear-time recognition algorithms for balanced graphs within the same three graph classes.     

Line-graphs of cubic graphs are normal

A graph is called normal if its vertex set can be covered by cliques Q₁,Q₂,…,Q_k and also by stable sets S₁,S₂,…,S_l, such that S_i∩Q_j≠∅ for every i,j. This notion is due to Körner, who introduced the class of normal graphs as an extension of the class of perfect graphs. Normality has also relevance in information theory. Here we prove, that the line graphs of cubic graphs are normal.     

Partial characterizations of clique-perfect graphs II: Diamond-free and Helly circular-arc graphs

A clique-transversal of a graph G is a subset of vertices that meets all the cliques of G. A clique-independent set is a collection of pairwise vertex-disjoint cliques. A graph G is clique-perfect if the sizes of a minimum clique-transversal and a maximum clique-independent set are equal for every induced subgraph of G. The list of minimal forbidden induced subgraphs for the class of clique-perfect graphs is not known. Another open question concerning clique-perfect graphs is the complexity of the recognition problem. Recently we were able to characterize clique-perfect graphs by a restricted list of forbidden induced subgraphs when the graph belongs to two different subclasses of claw-free graphs. These characterizations lead to polynomial time recognition of clique-perfect graphs in these classes of graphs. In this paper we solve the characterization problem in two new classes of graphs: diamond-free and Helly circular-arc () graphs. This last characterization leads to a polynomial time recognition algorithm for clique-perfect graphs.     

On conservative and supermagic graphs

A graph is called supermagic if it admits a labelling of the edges by pairwise different consecutive positive integers such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with a vertex is independent of the particular vertex. A graph G is called conservative if it admits an orientation and a labelling of the edges by integers {1,…,|E(G)|} such that at each vertex the sum of the labels on the incoming edges is equal to the sum of the labels on the outgoing edges. In this paper we deal with conservative graphs and their connection with the supermagic graphs. We introduce a new method to construct supermagic graphs using conservative graphs. Inter alia we show that the union of some circulant graphs and regular complete multipartite graphs are supermagic.     

Transitive,Locally Finite Median Graphs with Finite Blocks

The subject of this paper are infinite, locally finite, vertex-transitive median graphs. It is shown that the finiteness of the Θ-classes of such graphs does not guarantee finite blocks. Blocks become finite if, in addition, no finite sequence of Θ-contractions produces new cut-vertices. It is proved that there are only finitely many vertex-transitive median graphs of given finite degree with finite blocks. An infinite family of vertex-transitive median graphs with finite intransitive blocks is also constructed and the list of vertex-transitive median graphs of degree four is presented.

Collapsible biclaw-free graphs

A graph is called biclaw-free if it has no biclaw as an induced subgraph. In this note, we prove that if G is a connected bipartite biclaw-free graph with δ(G)?5, then G is collapsible, and of course supereulerian. This bound is best possible.
