A nontrivial connected graph G is called even if for each vertex v of G there is a unique vertex v such that d(v, v ) = diam G. Special classes of even graphs are defined and compared to each other. In particular, an even graph G is called symmetric if d(u, v) + d(u, v ) = diam G for all u, v ∈ V(G). Several properties of even and symmetric even graphs are stated. For an even graph of order n and diameter d other than an even cycle it is shown that n ≥ 3d – 1 and conjectured that n ≥ 4d – 4. This conjecture is proved for symmetric even graphs and it is shown that for each pair of integers n, d with n even, d ≥ 2 and n ≥ 4d – 4 there exists an even graph of order n and diameter d. Several ways of constructing new even graphs from known ones are presented. 相似文献

The Wiener index of a graph G is defined as W(G)=∑
u,v
d
G
(u,v), where d
G
(u,v) is the distance between u and v in G and the sum goes over all the pairs of vertices. In this paper, we first present the 6 graphs with the first to the sixth
smallest Wiener index among all graphs with n vertices and k cut edges and containing a complete subgraph of order n−k; and then we construct a graph with its Wiener index no less than some integer among all graphs with n vertices and k cut edges. 相似文献

It is well known that a graph G of order p ≥ 3 is Hamilton-connected if d(u) + d(v) ≥ p + 1 for each pair of nonadjacent vertices u and v. In this paper we consider connected graphs G of order at least 3 for which d(u) + d(v) ≥ |N(u) ∪ N(v) ∪ N(w)| + 1 for any path uwv with uv ∉ E(G), where N(x) denote the neighborhood of a vertex x. We prove that a graph G satisfying this condition has the following properties: (a) For each pair of nonadjacent vertices x, y of G and for each integer k, d(x, y) ≤ k ≤ |V(G)| − 1, there is an x − y path of length k. (b) For each edge xy of G and for each integer k (excepting maybe one k η {3,4}) there is a cycle of length k containing xy. Consequently G is panconnected (and also edge pancyclic) if and only if each edge of G belongs to a triangle and a quadrangle. Our results imply some results of Williamson, Faudree, and Schelp. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Let G be a graph of order n, and let a and b be integers such that 1 ≤ a < b. We show that G has an [a, b]-factor if δ(G) ≥ a, n ≥ 2a + b + and max {dG(u), dG(v) ≥ for any two nonadjacent vertices u and v in G. This result is best possible, and it is an extension of T. Iida and T. Nishimura's results (T. Iida and T. Nishimura, An Ore-type condition for the existence of k-factors in graphs, Graphs and Combinat. 7 (1991), 353–361; T. Nishimura, A degree condition for the existence of k-factors, J. Graph Theory 16 (1992), 141–151). about the existence of a k-factor. As an immediate consequence, it shows that a conjecture of M. Kano (M. Kano, Some current results and problems on factors of graphs, Proc. 3rd China–USA International Conference on Graph Theory and Its Application, Beijing (1993). about connected [a, b]-factors is incorrect. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A shortest path connecting two vertices u and v is called a u-v geodesic. The distance between u and v in a graph G, denoted by dG(u,v), is the number of edges in a u-v geodesic. A graph G with n vertices is panconnected if, for each pair of vertices u,v∈V(G) and for each integer k with dG(u,v)?k?n-1, there is a path of length k in G that connects u and v. A graph G with n vertices is geodesic-pancyclic if, for each pair of vertices u,v∈V(G), every u-v geodesic lies on every cycle of length k satisfying max{2dG(u,v),3}?k?n. In this paper, we study sufficient conditions of geodesic-pancyclic graphs. In particular, we show that most of the known sufficient conditions of panconnected graphs can be applied to geodesic-pancyclic graphs. 相似文献

We propose a conjecture: for each integer k ≥ 2, there exists N(k) such that if G is a graph of order n ≥ N(k) and d(x) + d(y) ≥ n + 2k - 2 for each pair of non-adjacent vertices x and y of G, then for any k independent edges e1, …, ek of G, there exist k vertex-disjoint cycles C1, …, Ck in G such that ei ∈ E(Ci) for all i ∈ {1, …, k} and V(C1 ∪ ···∪ Ck) = V(G). If this conjecture is true, the condition on the degrees of G is sharp. We prove this conjecture for the case k = 2 in the paper. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 26: 105–109, 1997 相似文献

For two vertices u and v of a graph G, the closed interval I[u, v] consists of u, v, and all vertices lying in some u–v geodesic of G, while for S V(G), the set I[S] is the union of all sets I[u, v] for u, v S. A set S of vertices of G for which I[S] = V(G) is a geodetic set for G, and the minimum cardinality of a geodetic set is the geodetic number g(G). A vertex v in G is an extreme vertex if the subgraph induced by its neighborhood is complete. The number of extreme vertices in G is its extreme order ex(G). A graph G is an extreme geodesic graph if g(G) = ex(G), that is, if every vertex lies on a u–v geodesic for some pair u, v of extreme vertices. It is shown that every pair a, b of integers with 0 a b is realizable as the extreme order and geodetic number, respectively, of some graph. For positive integers r, d, and k 2, it is shown that there exists an extreme geodesic graph G of radius r, diameter d, and geodetic number k. Also, for integers n, d, and k with 2 d > n, 2 k > n, and n – d – k + 1 0, there exists a connected extreme geodesic graph G of order n, diameter d, and geodetic number k. We show that every graph of order n with geodetic number n – 1 is an extreme geodesic graph. On the other hand, for every pair k, n of integers with 2 k n – 2, there exists a connected graph of order n with geodetic number k that is not an extreme geodesic graph. 相似文献

For a positive integer k, a graph G is k-ordered hamiltonian if for every ordered sequence of k vertices there is a hamiltonian cycle that encounters the vertices of the sequence in the given order. It is shown that if G is a graph of order n with 3 ≤ k ≤ n/2, and deg(u) + deg(v) ≥ n + (3k − 9)/2 for every pair u, v of nonadjacent vertices of G, then G is k-ordered hamiltonian. Minimum degree conditions are also given for k-ordered hamiltonicity. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 42: 199–210, 2003 相似文献

Spanning connectivity of graphs has been intensively investigated in the study of interconnection networks (Hsu and Lin, Graph Theory and Interconnection Networks, 2009). For a graph G and an integer s > 0 and for ${u, v \in V(G)}$ with u ≠ v, an (s; u, v)-path-system of G is a subgraph H consisting of s internally disjoint (u,v)-paths. A graph G is spanning s-connected if for any ${u, v \in V(G)}$ with u ≠ v, G has a spanning (s; u, v)-path-system. The spanning connectivity κ*(G) of a graph G is the largest integer s such that G has a spanning (k; u, v)-path-system, for any integer k with 1 ≤ k ≤ s, and for any ${u, v \in V(G)}$ with u ≠ v. An edge counter-part of κ*(G), defined as the supereulerian width of a graph G, has been investigated in Chen et al. (Supereulerian graphs with width s and s-collapsible graphs, 2012). In Catlin and Lai (Graph Theory, Combinatorics, and Applications, vol. 1, pp. 207–222, 1991) proved that if a graph G has 2 edge-disjoint spanning trees, and if L(G) is the line graph of G, then κ*(L(G)) ≥ 2 if and only if κ(L(G)) ≥ 3. In this paper, we extend this result and prove that for any integer k ≥ 2, if G 0, the core of G, has k edge-disjoint spanning trees, then κ*(L(G)) ≥ k if and only if κ(L(G)) ≥ max{3, k}. 相似文献

Let G be a connected graph of order n and girth g. If dG(u) + dG(v) ≥ n − 2g + 5 for any two non-adjacent vertices u and v, then G is up-embeddable. Further more, the lower bound is best possible. Similarly the result of k-edge connected simple graph with girth g is also obtained, k = 2,3.

A graph G = (V, E) is k-edge-connected if for any subset E′ ⊆ E,|E′| < k, G − E′ is connected. A dk-tree T of a connected graph G = (V, E) is a spanning tree satisfying that ∀v ∈ V, dT(v) ≤ + α, where [·] is a lower integer form and α depends on k. We show that every k-edge-connected graph with k ≥ 2, has a dk-tree, and α = 1 for k = 2, α = 2 for k ≥ 3. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 28: 87–95, 1998 相似文献

The Erdős-Sós conjecture says that a graph G on n vertices and number of edges e(G) > n(k− 1)/2 contains all trees of size k. In this paper we prove a sufficient condition for a graph to contain every tree of size k formulated in terms of the minimum edge degree ζ(G) of a graph G defined as ζ(G) = min{d(u) + d(v) − 2: uv ∈ E(G)}. More precisely, we show that a connected graph G with maximum degree Δ(G) ≥ k and minimum edge degree ζ(G) ≥ 2k − 4 contains every tree of k edges if d

A digraph G = (V, E) is primitive if, for some positive integer k, there is a u → v walk of length k for every pair u, v of vertices of V. The minimum such k is called the exponent of G, denoted exp(G). The exponent of a vertex u ∈ V, denoted exp(u), is the least integer k such that there is a u → v walk of length k for each v ∈ V. For a set X ⊆ V, exp(X) is the least integer k such that for each v ∈ V there is a X → v walk of length k, i.e., a u → v walk of length k for some u ∈ X. Let F(G, k) : = max{exp(X) : |X| = k} and F(n, k) : = max{F(G, k) : |V| = n}, where |X| and |V| denote the number of vertices in X and V, respectively. Recently, B. Liu and Q. Li proved F(n, k) = (n − k)(n − 1) + 1 for all 1 ≤ k ≤ n − 1. In this article, for each k, 1 ≤ k ≤ n − 1, we characterize the digraphs G such that F(G, k) = F(n, k), thereby answering a question of R. Brualdi and B. Liu. We also find some new upper bounds on the (ordinary) exponent of G in terms of the maximum outdegree of G, Δ+(G) = max{d+(u) : u ∈ V}, and thus obtain a new refinement of the Wielandt bound (n − 1)2 + 1. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

For a graph G and an integer k, denote by Vk the set {v ∈ V(G) | d(v) ≥ k}. Veldman proved that if G is a 2-connected graph of order n with n ≤ 3k - 2 and |Vk| ≤ k, then G has a cycle containing all vertices of Vk. It is shown that the upper bound k on |Vk| is close to best possible in general. For the special case k = δ(G), it is conjectured that the condition |Vk| ≤ k can be omitted. Using a variation of Woodall's Hopping Lemma, the conjecture is proved under the additional condition that n ≤ 2δ(G) + δ(G) + 1. This result is an almost-generalization of Jackson's Theorem that every 2-connected k-regular graph of order n with n ≤ 3k is hamiltonian. An alternative proof of an extension of Jackson's Theorem is also presented. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

Let G be a simple graph with n vertices. For any v ? V(G){v \in V(G)} , let N(v)={u ? V(G): uv ? E(G)}{N(v)=\{u \in V(G): uv \in E(G)\}} , NC(G) = min{|N(u) èN(v)|: u, v ? V(G){NC(G)= \min \{|N(u) \cup N(v)|: u, v \in V(G)} and
uv \not ? E(G)}{uv \not \in E(G)\}} , and NC2(G) = min{|N(u) èN(v)|: u, v ? V(G){NC_2(G)= \min\{|N(u) \cup N(v)|: u, v \in V(G)} and u and v has distance 2 in E(G)}. Let l ≥ 1 be an integer. A graph G on n ≥ l vertices is [l, n]-pan-connected if for any u, v ? V(G){u, v \in V(G)} , and any integer m with l ≤ m ≤ n, G has a (u, v)-path of length m. In 1998, Wei and Zhu (Graphs Combinatorics 14:263–274, 1998) proved that for a three-connected graph on n ≥ 7 vertices, if NC(G) ≥ n − δ(G) + 1, then G is [6, n]-pan-connected. They conjectured that such graphs should be [5, n]-pan-connected. In this paper, we prove that for a three-connected graph on n ≥ 7 vertices, if NC
2(G) ≥ n − δ(G) + 1, then G is [5, n]-pan-connected. Consequently, the conjecture of Wei and Zhu is proved as NC
2(G) ≥ NC(G). Furthermore, we show that the lower bound is best possible and characterize all 2-connected graphs with NC
2(G) ≥ n − δ(G) + 1 which are not [4, n]-pan-connected. 相似文献

For a graph G and an integer k ≥ 1, let ςk(G) = dG(vi): {v1, …, vk} is an independent set of vertices in G}. Enomoto proved the following theorem. Let s ≥ 1 and let G be a (s + 2)-connected graph. Then G has a cycle of length ≥ min{|V(G)|, ς2(G) − s} passing through any path of length s. We generalize this result as follows. Let k ≥ 3 and s ≥ 1 and let G be a (k + s − 1)-connected graph. Then G has a cycle of length ≥ min{|V(G)|, − s} passing through any path of length s. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Graph Theory 29: 177–184, 1998 相似文献

The generalized Petersen graph GP (n, k), n ≤ 3, 1 ≥ k < n/2 is a cubic graph with vertex-set {uj; i ? Zn} ∪ {vj; i ? Zn}, and edge-set {uiui, uivi, vivi+k, i?Zn}. In the paper we prove that (i) GP(n, k) is a Cayley graph if and only if k2 ? 1 (mod n); and (ii) GP(n, k) is a vertex-transitive graph that is not a Cayley graph if and only if k2 ? -1 (mod n) or (n, k) = (10, 2), the exceptional graph being isomorphic to the 1-skeleton of the dodecahedon. The proof of (i) is based on the classification of orientable regular embeddings of the n-dipole, the graph consisting of two vertices and n parallel edges, while (ii) follows immediately from (i) and a result of R.

Let Π = {S1, S2, . . . , Sk} be an ordered partition of the vertex set V (G) of a graph G. The partition representation of a vertex v ∈ V (G) with respect to Π is the k-tuple r(v|Π) = (d(v, S1), d(v, S2), . . . , d(v, Sk)), where d(v, S) is the distance between v and a set S. If for every pair of distinct vertices u, v ∈ V (G), we have r(u|Π) ≠ r(v|Π), then Π is a resolving partition and the minimum cardinality of a resolving partition of V (G) is called the partition dimension of G. We study the partition dimension of circulant graphs, which are Cayley graphs of cyclic groups. Grigorious et al. [On the partition dimension of circulant graphs] proved that pd(Cn(1, 2, . . . , t)) ≥ t + 1 for n ≥ 3. We disprove this statement by showing that if t ≥ 4 is even, then there exists an infinite set of values of n, such that . We also present exact values of the partition dimension of circulant graphs with 3 generators. 相似文献

For a graph G, let σ2(G) denote the minimum degree sum of a pair of nonadjacent vertices. We conjecture that if |V(G)| = n = Σki = 1 ai and σ2(G) ≥ n + k − 1, then for any k vertices v1, v2,…, vk in G, there exist vertex‐disjoint paths P1, P2,…, Pk such that |V(Pi)| = ai and vi is an endvertex of Pi for 1 ≤ i ≤ k. In this paper, we verify the conjecture for the cases where almost all ai ≤ 5, and the cases where k ≤ 3. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 34: 163–169, 2000 相似文献
