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.     

Equistable graphs, general partition graphs, triangle graphs, and graph products

In this paper we examine the connections between equistable graphs, general partition graphs and triangle graphs. While every general partition graph is equistable and every equistable graph is a triangle graph, not every triangle graph is equistable, and a conjecture due to Jim Orlin states that every equistable graph is a general partition graph. The conjecture holds within the class of chordal graphs; if true in general, it would provide a combinatorial characterization of equistable graphs.Exploiting the combinatorial features of triangle graphs and general partition graphs, we verify Orlin’s conjecture for several graph classes, including AT-free graphs and various product graphs. More specifically, we obtain a complete characterization of the equistable graphs that are non-prime with respect to the Cartesian or the tensor product, and provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for the equistability of strong, lexicographic and deleted lexicographic products. We also show that the general partition graphs are not closed under the strong product, answering a question by McAvaney et al.

Some results on the lexicographic product of vertex-transitive graphs

Many large graphs can be constructed from existing smaller graphs by using graph operations, for example, the Cartesian product and the lexicographic product. Many properties of such large graphs are closely related to those of the corresponding smaller ones. In this short note, we give some properties of the lexicographic products of vertex-transitive and of edge-transitive graphs. In particular, we show that the lexicographic product of Cayley graphs is a Cayley graph.     

On wreathed lexicographic products of graphs

This paper proves a necessary and sufficient condition for the endomorphism monoid of a lexicographic product G[H] of graphs G,H to be the wreath product of the monoids and . The paper also gives respective necessary and sufficient conditions for specialized cases such as for unretractive or triangle-free graphs G.     

Graphs whose endomorphism monoids are regular

In this paper, we give several approaches to construct new End-regular (-orthodox) graphs by means of the join and the lexicographic product of two graphs with certain conditions. In particular, the join of two connected bipartite graphs with a regular (orthodox) endomorphism monoid is explicitly described.     

Products of unit distance graphs

Some graphs admit drawings in the Euclidean plane (k-space) in such a (natural) way, that edges are represented as line segments of unit length. We say that they have the unit distance property.The influence of graph operations on the unit distance property is discussed. It is proved that the Cartesian product preserves the unit distance property in the Euclidean plane, while graph union, join, tensor product, strong product, lexicographic product and corona do not. It is proved that the Cartesian product preserves the unit distance property also in higher dimensions.     

Lexicographic Products of Half Linearly Ordered Groups

The notion of the half linearly ordered group (and, more generally, of the half lattice ordered group) was introduced by Giraudet and Lucas [2]. In the present paper we define the lexicographic product of half linearly ordered groups. This definition includes as a particular case the lexicographic product of linearly ordered groups. We investigate the problem of the existence of isomorphic refinements of two lexicographic product decompositions of a half linearly ordered group. The analogous problem for linearly ordered groups was dealt with by Maltsev [5]; his result was generalized by Fuchs [1] and the author [3]. The isomorphic refinements of small direct product decompositions of half lattice ordered groups were studied in [4].     

Game chromatic number of strong product graphs

The graph coloring game is a two-player game in which the two players properly color an uncolored vertex of G alternately. The first player wins the game if all vertices of G are colored, and the second wins otherwise. The game chromatic number of a graph G is the minimum integer k such that the first player has a winning strategy for the graph coloring game on G with k colors. There is a lot of literature on the game chromatic number of graph products, e.g., the Cartesian product and the lexicographic product. In this paper, we investigate the game chromatic number of the strong product of graphs, which is one of major graph products. In particular, we completely determine the game chromatic number of the strong product of a double star and a complete graph. Moreover, we estimate the game chromatic number of some King's graphs, which are the strong products of two paths.     

The chromatic number and other functions of the lexicographic product

The values of the chromatic and achromatic number, point- and line-connectivity, and point independence number of the lexicographic product of two graphs are examined in relation to the values of the respective parameters on the factor graphs.     

On the Pancyclicity of Lexicographic Products

We prove that if G and H are graphs containing at least one edge each, then their lexicographic product G[H] is weakly pancyclic, i. e., it contains a cycle of every length between the length of a shortest cycle and that of a longest one. This supports some conjectures on locally connected graphs and on product graphs. We obtain an analogous result on even cycles in products G[H] that are bipartite. We also investigate toughness conditions on G implying that G[H] is hamiltonian (and hence pancyclic). Supported by the project LN00A056 of the Czech Ministry of Education     

Lexicographic product decompositions of half linearly ordered loops

In this paper we prove for an hl-loop Q an assertion analogous to the result of Jakubík concerning lexicographic products of half linearly ordered groups. We found conditions under which any two lexicographic product decompositions of an hl-loop Q with a finite number of lexicographic factors have isomorphic refinements.     

On the Toughness of a Graph

Abstract

In this paper, general results on the toughness of a graph are considered. Firstly the link between toughness and connectivity is explored and then results linking toughness and the parameters binding number and integrity are given. Further, the toughness of product graphs is discussed including general results for the lexicographic product. The paper concludes with some observations on toughness and hamiltoni-city.

Unretractive and S-unretractive joins and lexicographic products of graphs

Graphs without proper endomorphisms are the subject of this article. It is shown that the join of two graphs has this property if and only if both summands have it, and that the lexicographic product of a complete graph or an odd circuit as first factors has this property if and only if the second factor has it. A somewhat stronger theorem is proved if the lexicographic product has no proper strong endomorphism. The corresponding result for the join is the same as for usual endomorphisms.     

Spectra and Laplacian spectra of arbitrary powers of lexicographic products of graphs

Consider two graphs $G$ and $H$. Let $H^k\left[G\right]$ be the lexicographic product of $H^k$ and $G$, where $H^k$ is the lexicographic product of the graph $H$ by itself $k$ times. In this paper, we determine the spectrum of $H^k\left[G\right]$ and $H^k$ when $G$ and $H$ are regular and the Laplacian spectrum of $H^k\left[G\right]$ and $H^k$ for $G$ and $H$ arbitrary. Particular emphasis is given to the least eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix in the case of lexicographic powers of regular graphs, and to the algebraic connectivity and the largest Laplacian eigenvalues in the case of lexicographic powers of arbitrary graphs. This approach allows the determination of the spectrum (in case of regular graphs) and Laplacian spectrum (for arbitrary graphs) of huge graphs. As an example, the spectrum of the lexicographic power of the Petersen graph with the googol number (that is, 10¹⁰⁰ ) of vertices is determined. The paper finishes with the extension of some well known spectral and combinatorial invariant properties of graphs to its lexicographic powers.     

On anti-magic labeling for graph products

An anti-magic labeling of a finite simple undirected graph with p vertices and q edges is a bijection from the set of edges to the set of integers {1,2,…,q} such that the vertex sums are pairwise distinct, where the vertex sum at one vertex is the sum of labels of all edges incident to such vertex. A graph is called anti-magic if it admits an anti-magic labeling. Hartsfield and Ringel conjectured in 1990 that all connected graphs except K₂ are anti-magic. Recently, Alon et al. showed that this conjecture is true for dense graphs, i.e. it is true for p-vertex graphs with minimum degree Ω(logp). In this article, new classes of sparse anti-magic graphs are constructed through Cartesian products and lexicographic products.
