c-圈图的Laplace谱半径和最大度

设G是一个n阶的简单连通图,符号(d_1,d_2,...,d_n)表示G的度序列,其中d_1≥d_2≥···≥d_n,用符号?(G)表示G的最大度,而符号λ(G)表示G的Laplace谱半径.一个c-圈图是一个恰有n+c-1条边的n阶简单连通图,而符号C(n,?;c)表示最大度等于?的所有n阶c-圈图的集合.本文确定了当0≤c≤1/2(?-1)(?-2)时,C(n,?;c)中所有取得最小Laplace谱半径的极图,并分别确定了当?≥[n+2/3]且d_4≥2或?≥[n/3]+1且d_4=1时,C(n,?;1)中唯一取得最大Laplace谱半径的极图.进一步地,还证明了对于两个n阶的单圈图G和G′,如果?(G)≥[11n/30]+2且?(G)?(G′),则λ(G)λ(G′),并且界"[11n/30]+2"是最佳的.     

可迁图的超常边连通度的最优性

图的超常边连通度是图的边连通度概念的推广.对于n阶点可迁或正则边可迁的简单连通图来说,它的h阶超常边连通度λh一定存在(1≤h≤n/2).本文证明了当dr正则的n-阶点可迁简单连通图满足n≥6,d≥4且围长g≥5时,或d-正则的n-阶边可迁简单连通图满足n≥6,d≥4且围长g≥4时,对于任何的h1≤h≤min{g-1,n/2},λh达到其最大可能值,即λh=hd-2(h-1).     

给定边连通度的图的最小距离谱半径(英文)

本文研究了边连通度为r的n阶连通图中距离谱半径最小的极图问题,利用组合的方法,确定了K(n-1,r)为唯一的极图,其中K(n-1,r)是由完全图K_(n-1)添加一个顶点v以及连接v与K_(n-1)中r个顶点的边所构成.上述结论推广了极图理论中的相关结果.     

连通的K_{n}-残差图

m-K_{n}-残差图是由P. Erd\"{o}s, F. Harary和M. Klawe等人提出的, 当m=1时, 他们证明了当n\neq1,2,3,4时, K_{n+1}\timesK_{2}是唯一的具有最小阶的连通的K_{n}- 残差图. 首先得到了m-K_{n}-残差图的重要性质, 同时证明了当n=1,2,3,4时, 连通K_{n}-残差图的最小阶和极图, 其中当n=1,2时得到唯一极图; 当n=3,4时, 证明了恰有两个不同构的极图, 从而彻底解决连通的K_{n}-残差图的最小阶和极图问题. 最后证明了当n\neq1,2,3,4时, K_{n+1}\timesK_{2}是唯一的具有最小阶的连通的K_{n}-残差图.

关于连通度固定的图的拉普拉斯谱半径的一个注记(英文)

Coalescing Fiedler and core vertices

The nullity of a graph G is the multiplicity of zero as an eigenvalue in the spectrum of its adjacency matrix. From the interlacing theorem, derived from Cauchy’s inequalities for matrices, a vertex of a graph can be a core vertex if, on deleting the vertex, the nullity decreases, or a Fiedler vertex, otherwise. We adopt a graph theoretical approach to determine conditions required for the identification of a pair of prescribed types of root vertices of two graphs to form a cut-vertex of unique type in the coalescence. Moreover, the nullity of subgraphs obtained by perturbations of the coalescence G is determined relative to the nullity of G. This has direct applications in spectral graph theory as well as in the construction of certain ipso-connected nano-molecular insulators.     

Facets with fewest vertices

Forv>d≧3, letm(v, d) be the smallest numberm, such that every convexd-polytope withv vertices has a facet with at mostm vertices. In this paper, bounds form(v, d) are found; in particular, for fixedd≧3, $$\frac{{r - 1}}{r} \leqslant \mathop {\lim \inf }\limits_{\upsilon \to \infty } \frac{{m(\upsilon ,d)}}{\upsilon } \leqslant \mathop {\lim \sup }\limits_{\upsilon \to \infty } \frac{{m(\upsilon ,d)}}{\upsilon } \leqslant \frac{{d - 3}}{{d - 2}}$$ , wherer=[1/3(d+1)].     

Splitting trees at vertices

We present tight bounds on splitting trees into “small” subtrees.     

Trees through specified vertices

We prove a conjecture of Horak that can be thought of as an extension of classical results including Dirac’s theorem on the existence of Hamiltonian cycles. Namely, we prove for 1≤k≤n−2 if G is a connected graph with A⊂V(G) such that d_G(v)≥k for all v∈A, then there exists a subtree T of G such that V(T)⊃A and for all v∈A.     

The Laplacian spectral radii of unicyclic and bicyclic graphs with n vertices and k pendant vertices

In this paper, we determine graphs with the largest Laplacian spectral radius among the unicyclic and the bicyclic graphs on n vertices with k pendant vertices, respectively.     

Covering vertices by cycles

“If G is a 2-connected graph with n vertices and minimum degree d, then the vertices of G can be covered by less than n/d cycles. This settles a conjecture of Enomoto, Kaneko and Tuza for 2-connected graphs.”     

Cycles through specified vertices

Recently, various authors have obtained results about the existence of long cycles in graphs with a given minimum degreed. We extend these results to the case where only some of the vertices are known to have degree at leastd, and we want to find a cycle through as many of these vertices as possible. IfG is a graph onn vertices andW is a set ofw vertices of degree at leastd, we prove that there is a cycle through at least vertices ofW. We also find the extremal graphs for this property.Research supported in part by NSF Grant DMS 8806097
