图的分散数

The decay number of a connected graph is defined to be the minimum number of the components of the cotree of the graph. Upper bounds of the decay numbers of graphs are obtained according to their edge connectivities. All the bounds in this paper are tight. Moreover, for each integer k between one and the upper bound, there are infinitely many graphs with the decay number k.

A lower bound on the acyclic matching number of subcubic graphs

The acyclic matching number of a graph $G$ is the largest size of an acyclic matching in $G$, that is, a matching $M$ in $G$ such that the subgraph of $G$ induced by the vertices incident to edges in $M$ is a forest. We show that the acyclic matching number of a connected subcubic graph $G$ with $m$ edges is at least $m∕6$ except for two graphs of order 5 and 6.     

A new upper bound for the independence number of edge chromatic critical graphs

In 1968, Vizing conjectured that if G is a Δ‐critical graph with n vertices, then α(G)≤n/2, where α(G) is the independence number of G. In this paper, we apply Vizing and Vizing‐like adjacency lemmas to this problem and prove that α(G)<(((5Δ?6)n)/(8Δ?6))<5n/8 if Δ≥6. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A lower bound for the interval number of a graph

The interval number i(G) of a graph G with n vertices is the lowest integer m such that G is the intersection graph of some family of sets I₁,…,I_n with every I_i being the union of at most m real intervals. In this article a lower bound for i(G) is proved followed by some considerations about the construction of graphs that are critical with respect to the interval number.     

A lower bound for the convexity number of some graphs

Given a connected graphG, we say that a setC ?V(G) is convex inG if, for every pair of verticesx, y ∈ C, the vertex set of everyx-y geodesic inG is contained inC. The convexity number ofG is the cardinality of a maximal proper convex set inG. In this paper, we show that every pairk, n of integers with 2 ≤k ≤ n?1 is realizable as the convexity number and order, respectively, of some connected triangle-free graph, and give a lower bound for the convexity number ofk-regular graphs of ordern withn>k+1.

A new lower bound on the number of trivially noncontractible edges in contraction critical 5-connected graphs

An edge of a k-connected graph is said to be k-contractible if its contraction results in a k-connected graph. A k-connected non-complete graph with no k-contractible edge, is called contraction critical k-connected. An edge of a k-connected graph is called trivially noncontractible if its two end vertices have a common neighbor of degree k. Ando [K. Ando, Trivially noncontractible edges in a contraction critically 5-connected graph, Discrete Math. 293 (2005) 61-72] proved that a contraction critical 5-connected graph on n vertices has at least n/2 trivially noncontractible edges. Li [Xiangjun Li, Some results about the contractible edge and the domination number of graphs, Guilin, Guangxi Normal University, 2006 (in Chinese)] improved the lower bound to n+1. In this paper, the bound is improved to the statement that any contraction critical 5-connected graph on n vertices has at least trivially noncontractible edges.
