有向笛卡尔积图的有向度量维数(英文)

设D是一个有向图,w={w_1,w_2,…,w_k}是D的一个有序点子集,v是D中任意一点。我们把有序k元素组r(v|w)=(d(v,w_1),d(v,w_2),…,d(v,w_k))称为点v对于W的(有向距离)表示。如果在D中,任意两个不同的点u和v对W的(有向距离)表示都不相同,则称W是有向图D的一个分解集。我们把D的最小分解集的基数称为有向图D的有向度量维数,并用dim(D)来表示。本文研究了有向笛卡尔积图D_1×D_2的有向度量维数。设P_m和C_m分别是长为m的有向路和有向圈。在文中我们分别给出了dim(D_1×D_2)的一个下界与dim(D×P_m)和dim(D×C_m)的上界,并通过确定dim(P_m×P_n),dim(C_m×P_n)和dim(C_m×C_n)的精确值说明了我们给出的上界是紧的。     

Proof of a conjecture on connectivity of Kronecker product of graphs

For a graph G, κ(G) denotes its connectivity. The Kronecker product G₁×G₂ of graphs G₁ and G₂ is the graph with the vertex set V(G₁)×V(G₂), two vertices (u₁,v₁) and (u₂,v₂) being adjacent in G₁×G₂ if and only if u₁u₂∈E(G₁) and v₁v₂∈E(G₂). Guji and Vumar [R. Guji, E. Vumar, A note on the connectivity of Kronecker products of graphs, Appl. Math. Lett. 22 (2009) 1360–1363] conjectured that for any nontrivial graph G, κ(G×K_n)=min{nκ(G),(n−1)δ(G)} when n≥3. In this note, we confirm this conjecture to be true.     

Game coloring the Cartesian product of graphs

This article proves the following result: Let G and G′ be graphs of orders n and n′, respectively. Let G^* be obtained from G by adding to each vertex a set of n′ degree 1 neighbors. If G^* has game coloring number m and G′ has acyclic chromatic number k, then the Cartesian product G□G′ has game chromatic number at most k(k + m ? 1). As a consequence, the Cartesian product of two forests has game chromatic number at most 10, and the Cartesian product of two planar graphs has game chromatic number at most 105. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Pebbling numbers of some graphs

Chung defined a pebbling move on a graphG as the removal of two pebbles from one vertex and the addition of one pebble to an adjacent vertex. The pebbling number of a connected graphG, f(G), is the leastn such that any distribution ofn pebbles onG allows one pebble to be moved to any specified but arbitrary vertex by a sequence of pebbling moves. Graham conjectured that for any connected graphsG andH, f(G xH) ≤ f(G)f(H). In the present paper the pebbling numbers of the product of two fan graphs and the product of two wheel graphs are computed. As a corollary, Graham’s conjecture holds whenG andH are fan graphs or wheel graphs.     

Sum choice numbers of some graphs

Let f be a function assigning list sizes to the vertices of a graph G. The sum choice number of G is the minimum ∑_v∈V(G)f(v) such that for every assignment of lists to the vertices of G, with list sizes given by f, there exists proper coloring of G from the lists. We answer a few questions raised in a paper of Berliner, Bostelmann, Brualdi, and Deaett. Namely, we determine the sum choice number of the Petersen graph, the cartesian product of paths , and the complete bipartite graph K_3,n.     

The signed star domination numbers of the Cartesian product graphs

Let G be a graph with vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). A function f:E(G)→{-1,1} is said to be a signed star dominating function of G if for every v∈V(G), where E_G(v)={uv∈E(G)|u∈V(G)}. The minimum of the values of , taken over all signed star dominating functions f on G, is called the signed star domination number of G and is denoted by γ_SS(G). In this paper, a sharp upper bound of γ_SS(G×H) is presented.     

Connectivity of Cartesian product graphs

Use v_i,κ_i,λ_i,δ_i to denote order, connectivity, edge-connectivity and minimum degree of a graph G_i for i=1,2, respectively. For the connectivity and the edge-connectivity of the Cartesian product graph, up to now, the best results are κ(G₁×G₂)?κ₁+κ₂ and λ(G₁×G₂)?λ₁+λ₂. This paper improves these results by proving that κ(G₁×G₂)?min{κ₁+δ₂,κ₂+δ₁} and λ(G₁×G₂)=min{δ₁+δ₂,λ₁v₂,λ₂v₁} if G₁ and G₂ are connected undirected graphs; κ(G₁×G₂)?min{κ₁+δ₂,κ₂+δ₁,2κ₁+κ₂,2κ₂+κ₁} if G₁ and G₂ are strongly connected digraphs. These results are also generalized to the Cartesian products of connected graphs and n strongly connected digraphs, respectively.     

Fractional chromatic numbers of tensor products of three graphs

The tensor product $(G_1,G_2,G_3)$ of graphs $G_1$, $G_2$ and $G_3$ is defined by $V(G_1,G_2,G_3)=V\left(G_1\right)\times V\left(G_2\right)\times V\left(G_3\right)$and $E(G_1,G_2,G_3)=\left\{\left((u_1,u_2,u_3),(v_1,v_2,v_3)\right):\left|\{i:(u_i,v_i)\in E\left(G_i\right)\}\right|\ge 2\right\}.$Let ${\chi }_f\left(G\right)$ be the fractional chromatic number of a graph $G$. In this paper, we prove that if one of the three graphs $G_1$, $G_2$ and $G_3$ is a circular clique, ${\chi }_f(G_1,G_2,G_3)=min\{{\chi }_f\left(G_1\right){\chi }_f\left(G_2\right),{\chi }_f\left(G_1\right){\chi }_f\left(G_3\right),{\chi }_f\left(G_2\right){\chi }_f\left(G_3\right)\}.$     

On optimizing edge connectivity of product graphs

This work studies the super edge connectivity and super restricted edge connectivity of direct product graphs, Cartesian product graphs, strong product graphs and lexicographic product graphs. As a result, sufficient conditions for optimizing the edge connectivity and restricted edge connectivity of these graphs are presented.     

List coloring of Cartesian products of graphs

A well-established generalization of graph coloring is the concept of list coloring. In this setting, each vertex v of a graph G is assigned a list L(v) of k colors and the goal is to find a proper coloring c of G with c(v)∈L(v). The smallest integer k for which such a coloring c exists for every choice of lists is called the list chromatic number of G and denoted by χ_l(G).We study list colorings of Cartesian products of graphs. We show that unlike in the case of ordinary colorings, the list chromatic number of the product of two graphs G and H is not bounded by the maximum of χ_l(G) and χ_l(H). On the other hand, we prove that χ_l(G×H)?min{χ_l(G)+col(H),col(G)+χ_l(H)}-1 and construct examples of graphs G and H for which our bound is tight.
