The Kneser graph has as vertices all -element subsets of and an edge between any two vertices that are disjoint. If , then is called an odd graph. Let and . In the present paper, we show that if the Kneser graph is of even order where is an odd integer or both of the integers are even, then is a vertex-transitive non Cayley graph. Although, these are special cases of Godsil [7], unlike his proof that uses some very deep group-theoretical facts, ours uses no heavy group-theoretic facts. We obtain our results by using some rather elementary facts of number theory and group theory. We show that ‘almost all’ odd graphs are of even order, and consequently are vertex-transitive non Cayley graphs. Finally, we show that if is an even integer such that is not of the form for some , then the line graph of the odd graph is a vertex-transitive non Cayley graph. 相似文献

Let V be an n-dimensional vector space over the finite field consisting of q elements and let be the Grassmann graph formed by k-dimensional subspaces of V, . Denote by the restriction of to the set of all non-degenerate linear codes. We show that for any two codes the distance in coincides with the distance in only in the case when , i.e. if n is sufficiently large then for some pairs of codes the distances in the graphs and are distinct. We describe one class of such pairs. 相似文献

The rainbow number for the graph in is defined to be the minimum integer such that any -edge-coloring of contains a rainbow . As one of the most important structures in graphs, the rainbow number of matchings has drawn much attention and has been extensively studied. Jendrol et al. initiated the rainbow number of matchings in planar graphs and they obtained bounds for the rainbow number of the matching in the plane triangulations, where the gap between the lower and upper bounds is . In this paper, we show that the rainbow number of the matching in maximal outerplanar graphs of order is . Using this technique, we show that the rainbow number of the matching in some subfamilies of plane triangulations of order is . The gaps between our lower and upper bounds are only . 相似文献

The vertices of Kneser graph are the subsets of of cardinality , two vertices are adjacent if and only if they are disjoint. The square of a graph is defined on the vertex set of with two vertices adjacent if their distance in is at most 2. Z. Füredi, in 2002, proposed the problem of determining the chromatic number of the square of the Kneser graph. The first non-trivial problem arises when . It is believed that where is a constant, and yet the problem remains open. The best known upper bounds are by Kim and Park: for 1 (Kim and Park, 2014) and for (Kim and Park, 2016). In this paper, we develop a new approach to this coloring problem by employing graph homomorphisms, cartesian products of graphs, and linear congruences integrated with combinatorial arguments. These lead to , where is a constant in , depending on . 相似文献

In 1962, Erd?s proved that if a graph with vertices satisfies where the minimum degree and , then it is Hamiltonian. For , let , where “” is the “join” operation. One can observe and is not Hamiltonian. As contains induced claws for , a natural question is to characterize all 2-connected claw-free non-Hamiltonian graphs with the largest possible number of edges. We answer this question completely by proving a claw-free analog of Erd?s’ theorem. Moreover, as byproducts, we establish several tight spectral conditions for a 2-connected claw-free graph to be Hamiltonian. Similar results for the traceability of connected claw-free graphs are also obtained. Our tools include Ryjá?ek’s claw-free closure theory and Brousek’s characterization of minimal 2-connected claw-free non-Hamiltonian graphs. 相似文献

The Erd?s–Gallai Theorem states that for , any -vertex graph with no cycle of length at least has at most edges. A stronger version of the Erd?s–Gallai Theorem was given by Kopylov: If is a 2-connected -vertex graph with no cycle of length at least , then , where . Furthermore, Kopylov presented the two possible extremal graphs, one with edges and one with edges.In this paper, we complete a stability theorem which strengthens Kopylov’s result. In particular, we show that for odd and all , every -vertex 2-connected graph with no cycle of length at least is a subgraph of one of the two extremal graphs or . The upper bound for here is tight. 相似文献

A graph is packable if it is a subgraph of its complement. The following statement was conjectured by Faudree, Rousseau, Schelp and Schuster in 1981: every non-star graph with girth at least is packable.The conjecture was proved by Faudree et al. with the additional condition that has at most edges. In this paper, for each integer , we prove that every non-star graph with girth at least and at most edges is packable, where is for every . This implies that the conjecture is true for sufficiently large planar graphs. 相似文献

In the game of Cops and Robbers, a team of cops attempts to capture a robber on a graph . All players occupy vertices of . The game operates in rounds; in each round the cops move to neighboring vertices, after which the robber does the same. The minimum number of cops needed to guarantee capture of a robber on is the cop number of , denoted , and the minimum number of rounds needed for them to do so is the capture time. It has long been known that the capture time of an -vertex graph with cop number is . More recently, Bonato et al. (2009) and Gaven?iak (2010) showed that for , this upper bound is not asymptotically tight: for graphs with cop number 1, the cop can always win within rounds. In this paper, we show that the upper bound is tight when : for fixed , we construct arbitrarily large graphs having capture time at least .In the process of proving our main result, we establish results that may be of independent interest. In particular, we show that the problem of deciding whether cops can capture a robber on a directed graph is polynomial-time equivalent to deciding whether cops can capture a robber on an undirected graph. As a corollary of this fact, we obtain a relatively short proof of a major conjecture of Goldstein and Reingold (1995), which was recently proved through other means (Kinnersley, 2015). We also show that -vertex strongly-connected directed graphs with cop number 1 can have capture time , thereby showing that the result of Bonato et al. (2009) does not extend to the directed setting. 相似文献

In this paper, we employed lattice model to describe the three internally vertex-disjoint paths that span the vertex set of the generalized Petersen graph . We showed that the is 3-spanning connected for odd . Based on the lattice model, five amalgamated and one extension mechanisms are introduced to recursively establish the 3-spanning connectivity of the . In each amalgamated mechanism, a particular lattice trail was amalgamated with the lattice trails that was dismembered, transferred, or extended from parts of the lattice trails for , where a lattice tail is a trail in the lattice model that represents a path in . 相似文献
