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.

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.     

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.     

The Classification of Connected Imprimitive Arc-transitive Graphs on Zp × Zp

The term (di)graph is employed to mean that a graph in question is either a directed graph or an undirected graph. The symbol G(p, r) represents the digraph defined by Chao[1]:V(G(p,r)) = Zp, E(G(p,r)) = {(x,y)|x - y ∈ Hr}, where p is a prime, r is a positive divisor of p - 1 and Hr is the unique subgroup of order r in Aut(Zp).

HAMILTONIAN DECOMPOSITION OF CAYLEY GRAPHS OF ORDERS p~2 AND pq

1. IntroductionLet G be a finite group and S a subset of G such that S--1 ~ S, and 1 f S. The Cayleygraph Cay (G, S) is defined as the simple graph with V ~ G, and E = {glgZ I g,'g, or g,'g,6 S, gi, gi E G}. Cay (G, S) is vertex-transitive, and it is connected if and only if (S) = G,i.e. S is a generating set of G[1]. If G = Zn, then Cay (Zn, S) is called a circulant graph.

和图、整和图与模和图的几个结果

Let N denote the set of positive integers. The sum graph G^＋（S） of a finite subset S belong to N is the graph （S, E） with uv ∈ E if and only if u ＋ v ∈ S. A graph G is said to be a sum graph if it is isomorphic to the sum graph of some S belong to N. By using the set Z of all integers instead of N, we obtain the definition of the integral sum graph. A graph G = （V, E） is a mod sum graph if there exists a positive integer z and a labelling, λ, of the vertices of G with distinct elements from {0, 1, 2,..., z - 1} so that uv ∈ E if and only if the sum, modulo z, of the labels assigned to u and v is the label of a vertex of G. In this paper, we prove that flower tree is integral sum graph. We prove that Dutch m-wind-mill （Dm） is integral sum graph and mod sum graph, and give the sum number of Dm.

Some results on distance two labelling of outerplanar graphs

Let G be an outerplanar graph with maximum degree △. Let χ（G^2） and A（G） denote the chromatic number of the square and the L（2, 1）-labelling number of G, respectively. In this paper we prove the following results： （1） χ（G^2） = 7 if △= 6; （2） λ（G） ≤ △ ＋5 if △ ≥ 4, and ）,（G）≤ 7 if △ = 3; and （3） there is an outerplanar graph G with △ = 4 such that ）λ（G） = 7. These improve some known results on the distance two labelling of outerplanar graphs.     

Super Connectivity of Line Graphs and Digraphs

The h-super connectivity κh and the h-super edge-connectivity λh are more refined network reliability indices than the conneetivity and the edge-connectivity. This paper shows that for a connected balanced digraph D and its line digraph L, if D is optimally super edge-connected, then κ1（L） = 2λ1 （D）, and that for a connected graph G and its line graph L, if one of κ1 （L） and λ（G） exists, then κ1（L） = λ2（G）. This paper determines that κ1（B（d, n） is equal to 4d- 8 for n = 2 and d ≥ 4, and to 4d-4 for n ≥ 3 and d ≥ 3, and that κ1（K（d, n）） is equal to 4d- 4 for d 〉 2 and n ≥ 2 except K（2, 2）. It then follows that B（d,n） and K（d, n） are both super connected for any d ≥ 2 and n ≥ 1.     

On K 1,k -factorization of bipartite multigraphs

A K1,k-factorization of λKm,n is a set of edge-disjoint K1,k-factors of λKm,n, which partition the set of edges of λKm,n. In this paper, it is proved that a sufficient condition for the existence of K1,k-factorization of λKm,n, whenever k is any positive integer, is that （1） m ≤ kn, （2） n ≤ km, （3） km-n = kn-m ≡ 0 （mod （k^2- 1）） and （4） λ（km-n）（kn-m） ≡ 0 （mod k（k- 1）（k^2 - 1）（m ＋ n））.     

Bound on <Emphasis Type="Italic">m</Emphasis>-restricted Edge Connectivity

An m-restricted edge cut is an edge cut that separates a connected graph into a disconnected one with no components having order less than m. m-restrict edge connectivity λm is the cardinality of a minimum m-restricted edge cut. Let G be a connected k-regular graph of order at least 2m that contains m-restricted edge cuts and X be a subgraph of G. Let θ(X) denote the number of edges with one end in X and the other not in X and ξm=min{θ(X) ;X is a connected vertex-induced subgraph of order m}.It is proved in this paper that if G has girth at least m/2 2,then λm≤ξm.The upper bound of λm is sharp.     

Some results on R 2-edge-connectivity of even regular graphs

Let G be a connected k(≥3)-regular graph with girth g. A set S of the edges in G is called an Rredge-cut if G-S is disconnected and comains neither an isolated vertex nor a one-degree vertex. The R2-edge-connectivity of G, denoted by λ^n(G), is the minimum cardinality over all R2-edge-cuts, which is an important measure for fault-tolerance of computer interconnection networks. In this paper, λ^n(G)=g(2k-2) for any 2k-regular connected graph G (≠K5) that is either edge-transitive or vertex-transitive and g≥5 is given.     

Optimization problems of the third edge-connectivity of graphs

The third edge-connectivity λ3(G) of a graph G is defined as the minimum cardinality over all sets of edges, if any, whose deletion disconnects G and each component of the resulting graph has at least 3 vertices. An upper bound has been established for λ3(G) whenever λ3(G) is well-defined. This paper first introduces two combinatorial optimization concepts, that is, maximality and superiority, of λ3(G), and then proves the Ore type sufficient conditions for G to be maximally and super third edge-connected. These concepts and results are useful in network reliability analysis.     

The total reducibility order of a polynomial in two variables

LetK be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. ForA ∈K[x, y] let σ(A) = {λ ∈K:A − λ is reducible}. For λ ∈ σ(A) letA − λ = ∏ _i=1 ^n(λ) A _iλ ^k _μ whereA _iλ are distinct primes. Let ϱ_λ(A) =n(λ) − 1 and let ρ(A) = Σ_λɛσ(A)ϱ_λ(A). The main result is the following: Theorem.If A ∈ K[x, y] is not a composite polynomial, then ρ(A) < degA.

Counting models in universal Horn classes

Definen _K (λ) to be either ω, or the number of non-isomorphic models inK having cardinality α, whichever cardinal is larger. This paper contains a proof that for a congruence modular variety ⋎ of algebras of countable similarity type, there are only six possible functionsn _⋎. It is also proved that ifn _K (λ)≠2^λ for some λ, andK is a universal Horn class of models for a countable language, thenK must satisfy two conditions, one of which is quite restrictive and requires that the members ofK are all in a certain sense Abelian.
