Let be a connected graph. A configuration of pebbles on is a function that assigns a nonnegative integer to each vertex. A pebbling move consists of removing two pebbles from one vertex and placing one pebble on an adjacent vertex. A configuration is solvable if after making pebbling moves any vertex can get at least one pebble. The pebbling number of , denoted , is the smallest integer such that any configuration of pebbles on is solvable. A graph has the two-pebbling property if after placing more than pebbles on , where is the number of vertices with pebbles, there is a sequence of pebbling moves so that at least two pebbles can be placed on any vertex. A graph without the two-pebbling property is called a Lemke graph. Previously, an infinite family of Lemke graphs was shown to exist by subdividing edges of the original Lemke graph. In this paper, we introduce a new way to create infinite families of Lemke graphs based on adding vertices as well as subdividing edges. We also characterize the configurations that violate the two-pebbling property on these graphs and conjecture another infinite family of Lemke graphs that generalizes the original Lemke graph. 相似文献

An edge of a -connected graph is said to be -contractible if the contraction of the edge results in a -connected graph. For a graph and a vertex of , let be the subgraph induced by the neighborhood of . We prove that if has less than edges for any vertex of a -connected graph , then has a -contractible edge. We also show that the bound is sharp. 相似文献

For any graph with , a shortest path reconfiguration graph can be formed with respect to and ; we denote such a graph as . The vertex set of is the set of all shortest paths from to in while two vertices in are adjacent if and only if the vertex sets of the paths that represent and differ in exactly one vertex. In a recent paper (Asplund et al., 2018), it was shown that shortest path graphs with girth five or greater are exactly disjoint unions of even cycles and paths. In this paper, we extend this result by classifying all shortest path graphs with no induced 4-cycles. 相似文献

For an integer , a graph is -hamiltonian if for any vertex subset with , is hamiltonian, and is -hamiltonian connected if for any vertex subset with , is hamiltonian connected. Thomassen in 1984 conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian (see Thomassen, 1986), and Ku?zel and Xiong in 2004 conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian connected (see Ryjá?ek and Vrána, 2011). In Broersma and Veldman (1987), Broersma and Veldman raised the characterization problem of -hamiltonian line graphs. In Lai and Shao (2013), it is conjectured that for , a line graph is -hamiltonian if and only if is -connected. In this paper we prove the following.(i) For an integer , the line graph of a claw-free graph is -hamiltonian if and only if is -connected.(ii) The line graph of a claw-free graph is 1-hamiltonian connected if and only if is 4-connected. 相似文献

The Hadwiger number of a graph , denoted , is the largest integer such that contains as a minor. A famous conjecture due to Hadwiger in 1943 states that for every graph , , where denotes the chromatic number of . Let denote the independence number of . A graph is -free if it does not contain the graph as an induced subgraph. In 2003, Plummer, Stiebitz and Toft proved that for all -free graphs with , where is any graph on four vertices with , , or is a particular graph on seven vertices. In 2010, Kriesell subsequently generalized the statement to include all forbidden subgraphs on five vertices with . In this note, we prove that for all -free graphs with , where denotes the wheel on six vertices. 相似文献

Given a simple graph with vertex set and edge set , the mixed graph is obtained from by orienting some of its edges. Let denote the Hermitian adjacency matrix of and be the adjacency matrix of . The -rank (resp. rank) of (resp. ), written as (resp. ), is the rank of (resp. ). Denote by the dimension of cycle space of , that is , where denotes the number of connected components of . In this paper, we concentrate on the relation between the -rank of and the rank of . We first show that for every mixed graph . Then we characterize all the mixed graphs that attain the above lower (resp. upper) bound. By these obtained results in the current paper, all the main results obtained in Luo et al. (2018); Wong et al. (2016) may be deduced consequently. 相似文献

Let be a polynomial ring, where is a field, and G be a simple graph on n vertices. Let be the vertex cover ideal of G. Herzog, Hibi and Ohsugi have conjectured that all powers of vertex cover ideals of chordal graph are componentwise linear. Here we establish the conjecture for the special case of trees. We also show that if G is a unicyclic vertex decomposable graph, then symbolic powers of are componentwise linear. 相似文献

In 2003, Kostochka, Pelsmajer, and West introduced a list analogue of equitable coloring called equitable choosability. In this paper, we motivate and define a new list analogue of equitable coloring called proportional choosability. A -assignment for a graph specifies a list of available colors for each vertex of . An -coloring assigns a color to each vertex from its list . For each color , let be the number of vertices whose list contains . A proportional-coloring of is a proper -coloring in which each color is used or times. A graph is proportionally-choosable if a proportional -coloring of exists whenever is a -assignment for . We show that if a graph is proportionally -choosable, then every subgraph of is also proportionally -choosable and also is proportionally -choosable, unlike equitable choosability for which analogous claims would be false. We also show that any graph is proportionally -choosable whenever , and we use matching theory to completely characterize the proportional choosability of stars and the disjoint union of cliques. 相似文献

Given an undirected graph , a conflict-free coloring with respect to open neighborhoods (CFON coloring) is a vertex coloring such that every vertex has a uniquely colored vertex in its open neighborhood. The minimum number of colors required for such a coloring is the CFON chromatic number of G, denoted by .In previous work [WG 2020], we showed the upper bound , where denotes the distance to cluster parameter of G. In this paper, we obtain the improved upper bound of . We also exhibit a family of graphs for which , thereby demonstrating that our upper bound is tight. 相似文献

A Deza graph G with parameters is a k-regular graph with n vertices such that any two distinct vertices have b or a common neighbours. The children and of a Deza graph G are defined on the vertex set of G such that every two distinct vertices are adjacent in or if and only if they have a or b common neighbours, respectively. A strongly Deza graph is a Deza graph with strongly regular children. In this paper we give a spectral characterisation of strongly Deza graphs, show relationships between eigenvalues, and study strongly Deza graphs which are distance-regular. 相似文献

A set S of vertices in a graph G is a dominating set if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S. If, in addition, every vertex in S is adjacent to some other vertex in S, then S is a total dominating set. The domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of a dominating set in G, while the total domination number of G is the minimum cardinality of total dominating set in G. A claw-free graph is a graph that does not contain as an induced subgraph. Let G be a connected, claw-free, cubic graph of order n. We show that if we exclude two graphs, then , and this bound is best possible. In order to prove this result, we prove that if we exclude four graphs, then , and this bound is best possible. These bounds improve previously best known results due to Favaron and Henning (2008) [7], Southey and Henning (2010) [19]. 相似文献

For a graph , the -dominating graph of has vertices corresponding to the dominating sets of having cardinality at most , where two vertices of are adjacent if and only if the dominating set corresponding to one of the vertices can be obtained from the dominating set corresponding to the second vertex by the addition or deletion of a single vertex. We denote the domination and upper domination numbers of by and , respectively, and the smallest integer for which is connected for all by . It is known that , but constructing a graph such that appears to be difficult.We present two related constructions. The first construction shows that for each integer and each integer such that , there exists a graph such that , and . The second construction shows that for each integer and each integer such that , there exists a graph such that , and . 相似文献

A graph is -choosable if there exists an -coloring of for every -list assignment . This concept is also known as choosability with separation.

Hilton and Zhao in 1997 conjectured that must be edge-chromatic critical if , and they verified this when . In this paper, we prove it for . 相似文献

Let be a weighted digraph with vertex set and arc set , where the arc weights are nonzero nonnegative symmetric matrices. In this paper, we obtain an upper bound on the signless Laplacian spectral radius of a weighted digraph , and if is strongly connected, we also characterize the digraphs achieving the upper bound. Moreover, we show that an upper bound of weighted digraphs or unweighted digraphs can be deduced from our upper bound. 相似文献
