Doubly stochastic graph matrices, II

If G is a graph on n vertices, its Laplacian matrix L(G) = D(G) - A(G) is the difference of the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees and the adjacency matrix. The main purpose of this note is to continue the study of the positive definite, doubly stochastic graph matrix (I_n + L(G))-¹= ω(G) = (w_ij). If, for example, w(G) = min w_ij, then w(G)≥0 with equality if and only if G is disconnected and w(G) ≤ l/(n + 1) with equality if and only if G = K_n. If i¦j, then w_ii ≥2wij, with equality if and only if the ith vertex has degree n - 1. In a sense made precise in the note, max w,, identifies most remote vertices of G. Relations between these new graph invariants and the algebraic connectivity emerge naturally from the fact that the second largest eigenvalue of ω(G) is 1/(1 + a(G)).     

GENERALISED MAXIMAL INDEPENDENCE AND CLIQUE NUMBERS OF GRAPHS

Abstract

A set B of vertices of a graph G = (V,E) is a k-maximal independent set (kMIS) if B is independent but for all ?-subsets X of B, where ? ? k—1, and all (? + 1)-subsets Y of V—B, the set (B—X) u Y is dependent. A set S of vertices of C is a k-maximal clique (kMc) of G iff S is a kMIS of [Gbar]. Let β_k, (G) (w_k(G) respectively) denote the smallest cardinality of a kMIS (kMC) of G—obviously β_k(G) = w_k([Gbar]). For the sequence m₁ ? m₂ ?…? m_n = r of positive integers, necessary and sufficient conditions are found for a graph G to exist such that w_k(G) = m_k for k = 1,2,…,n and w(G) = r (equivalently, β_k(G) = m_k for k = 1,2,…,n and β(G) = r). Define s_k(?,m) to be the largest integer such that for every graph G with at most s_k(?,m) vertices, β_k(G) ? ? or w_k(G) ? m. Exact values for s_k(?,m) if k ≥ 2 and upper and lower bounds for s₁(?,m) are de termined.     

The w-median of a connected strongly chordal graph

Suppose G = (V, E) is a graph in which every vertex x has a non-negative real number w(x) as its weight. The w-distance sum of a vertex y is D_{G, w}(y) = σ_x?v d(y, x)w(x). The w-median of G is the set of all vertices y with minimum w-distance sum D_G,w(y). This paper shows that the w-median of a connected strongly chordal graph G is a clique when w(x) is positive for all vertices x in G.     

On the Interval Number of a Triangulated Graph

The interval number of a simple undirected graph G, denoted i(G), is the least nonnegative integer r for which we can assign to each vertex in G a collection of at most r intervals on the real line such that two distinct vertices v and w of G are adjacent if and only if some interval for v intersects some interval for w. For triangulated graphs G, we consider the problem of finding a sharp upper bound for the interval number of G in terms of its clique number ω(G). The following partial results are proved. (1) For each triangulated graph G, i(G) ? ?ω(G)/2? + 1, and this is best possible for 2 ? ω(G) ? 6. (2) For each integer m ? 2, there exists a triangulated graph G with ω(G) = m and i(G) > m^1/2.     

A Remark on Hamiltonian Cycles

Let G be an undirected and simple graph on n vertices. Let ω, α and χ denote the number of components, the independence number and the connectivity number of G. G is called a 1-tough graph if ω(G – S) ? |S| for any subset S of V(G) such that ω(G ? S) > 1. Let σ₂ = min {d(v) + d(w)|v and w are nonadjacent}. Note that the difference α - χ in 1-tough graph may be made arbitrary large. In this paper we prove that any 1-tough graph with σ₂ > n + χ - α is hamiltonian.     

Bounds on a generalized domination parameter

Abstract

If n is an integer, n ≥ 2 and u and v are vertices of a graph G, then u and v are said to be K_n-adjacent vertices of G if there is a subgraph of G, isomorphic to K_n , containing u and v. For n ≥ 2, a K_n- dominating set of G is a set D of vertices such that every vertex of G belongs to D or is K_n-adjacent to a vertex of D. The K_n-domination number γK_n (G) of G is the minimum cardinality among the K_n-dominating sets of vertices of G. It is shown that, for n ε {3,4}, if G is a graph of order p with no K_n-isolated vertex, then γK_n (G) ≤ p/n. We establish that this is a best possible upper bound. It is shown that the result is not true for n ≥ 5.     

A lower bound for the distance k-domination number of trees

A subset D of vertices of a graph G = (V, E) is a distance k-dominating set for G if the distance between every vertex of V ? D and D is at most k. The minimum size of a distance k-dominating set of G is called the distance k-domination number γ_k(G) of G. In this paper we prove that (2k + 1)γ_k(T) ≥ ¦V¦ + 2k ? kn₁ for each tree T = (V, E) with n₁ leafs, and we characterize the class of trees that satisfy the equality (2k + 1)γ_k(T) = ¦V¦ + 2k ? kn₁. Our results generalize those of Lemanska [4] for k = 1 and of Cyman, Lemanska and Raczek [1] for k = 2.     

一类直径为2的极大平面图的Mostar指数

图G的Mostar指数定义为Mo(G)=∑uv∈Ε(G)|nu-nv|,其中nu表示在G中到顶点u的距离比到顶点v的距离近的顶点个数,nv表示到顶点v的距离比到顶点u的距离近的顶点个数.若一个图G的任两点之间的距离至多为2,且不是完全图,则称G是一个直径为2的图.已知直径为2点数至少为4的极大平面图的最小度为3或4.本文研究了直径为2且最小度为4的极大平面图的Mostar指数.具体说,若G是一个点数为n,直径为2,最小度为4的极大平面图,则(1)当n≤12时,Mostar指数被完全确定;(2)当n≥13时,4/3n2-44/3n+94/3≤Mo(G)≤2n2-16n+24,且达到上,下界的极图同时被找到.     

Schrijver图SG(2k+2,k)的Hamilton性

通过图G的每个顶点的路称为Hamilton路,通过图G的每个顶点的圈称为Hamilton圈,具有Hamilton圈的图G称为Hamilton图.1952年Dirac曾得到关于Hamilton图一个充分条件的结论:图G有n个顶点,如果每个顶点υ满足:d(υ)≥n/2,则图G是Hamilton图.本文研究了Schrijver图SG(2k+2,k)的Hamilton性,采用寻找Hamilton圈的方法得出了Schrijver图SG(2k+2,k)是Hamilton图.     

Kronecker乘积图的超连通性(英文)

设G1和G2是两个连通图,则G1和G2的Kronecker积G1×G2定义如下:V(G1×G2)=V(G1)×V(G2),E(G1×G2)={(u1,v1)(u2,v2):u1u2∈E(G1),v1v2∈E(G2)}.我们证明了G×Kn(n≥4)超连通图当且仅当κ(G)n>δ(G)(n 1),其中G是任意的连通图,Kn是n阶完全图.进一步我们证明了对任意阶至少为3的连通图G,如果κ(G)=δ(G),则G×Kn(n≥3)超连通图.这个结果加强了郭利涛等人的结果.     

A generalization of a result of Bauer and Schmeichel

We prove that if G is a 1-tough graph withn ≥ 3 vertices such thatd(u) + d(v) +d(w) ≥n+ κ —2 holds for any triple of independent verticesu, v andw ofG, thenG is hamiltonian, wherek is the vertex connectivity ofG. This generalizes a recent result of Baur and Schmeichel.     

E~(G(i))类图簇的伴随多项式的因式分解及色性分析

设Sn+1是n+1个顶点的星图,G是任意的p阶连通图.ΨG(i)(n,p)表示把Sn+1的n度点与G的第i(1 i p)个顶点重迭后得到的图;ErG(p+i)(r-1)表示把rG的r-1个分支的第i个顶点依次与Sr的r-1个1度点邻接,同时把剩下的一个图G的第i个顶点与Sr的r-1度点重迭后得到的图.我们通过讨论图簇ErG(p+i)(r-1)∪(r-1)K1的伴随多项式的因式分解,证明了它的补图的色等价图的结构性质.     

图的彩虹连通数与最小度和

令G是一个阶为n且最小度为δ的连通图. 当δ很小而n很大时, 现有的依据于最小度参数的彩虹边连通数和彩虹点连通数的上界都很大, 它们是n的线性函数. 本文中, 我们用另一种参数,即k个独立点的最小度和σ_k来代替δ, 从而在很大程度上改进了彩虹边连通数和彩虹点连通数的上界. 本文证明了如果G有k个独立点, 那么rc(GG)≤3kn/(σk+k)+6k-3. 同时也证明了下面的结果, 如果σ_k≤7k或σ_k≥8k, 那么rvc(G)≤(4k+2k²)n/(σ_k+k)+5k; 如果7k<σ_k<8k, 那么rvc(G)≤(38k/9+2k²)n/(σ_k+k)+5k.文中也给出了例子说明我们的界比现有的界更好, 即我们的界为rc(G)≤9k-3和rvc(G)≤9k+2k²或rvc(G)≤83k/9+2k², 这意味着当δ很小而σ_k很大时, 我们的界是一个常数, 而现有的界却是n的线性函数.     

The irredundance number and maximum degree of a graph

A vertex η in a subset X of vertices of an undirected graph is redundant if its closed neighborhood is contained in the union of closed neighborhoods of vertices of X-{η}. In the context of a communications network, this means that any vertex that may receive communications from X may also be informed from X-{η}. The irredundance number ir(G) is the minimum cardinality taken over all maximal sets of vertices having no redundancies. In this note we show that ir(G) ? n/(2Δ-1) for a graph G having n vertices and maximum degree Δ.     

Hadamard定理在四元数体上的推广

Let K be any skew-field with central field F. A matrix A=(a_ij)n×n over K is called centralized if the characteristic matrix λI-A can be reduced by some elementary transformations into the following diagonal form:such that are all manic polynomials over F. The determinant of a centralized matrix A=(a_ij)n×n may be defined by (1) asfollows: and then the famous theorem of Hadamard can be generalized as in the following: Theorem. If A=(a_ij)n×n is a non-singular centralized matrix over the skewfield of quaternions, thenand the equality sign holds if and only if the columns of A are all muturally orthogonal. This theorem may be proved by the following three lemmas: Lemma 1. If A is a centralized n-rowed square matrix of quaternions, then sois and Lemma 2. For any n-rowed square, matrix A of quaternions, the. following two matrices are always centralized:and Lemma 3. If A is a centralized matrix of quaternions, then we have     

关于有限群的强幂图的谱

令$G$是一个阶为$n$的有限群, $G$上的强幂图定义为: 以$G$为顶点集, 对于两个不同的元素$x$和$y$, 如果存在两个不超过$n$的正整数$n_1, n_2$使得$x^{n_1}=y^{n_2}$, 则$x$和$y$ 之间连一条边. 本文给出了$G$上强幂图的距离矩阵和邻接矩阵的特征多项式, 并且计算了其距离谱和邻接谱.     

一类Y~(SG)(γλ,n)∪βS_n~G形图簇的伴随分解及其补图的色等价性

设G是m阶连同图,我们用S_n~G(n=km+1)表示把kG的每个分支的d_i度点分别与星图S_k+1的k个1度点重迭后得到的图,Y~(SG)(r_1n,n)表示把r_1S_n~G中每个分支的k度点依次与图的k度点邻接后得到的图,Y~(SG)(r_2λ_1,n)表示把τ_2Y~(SG)(τ_1n,n)中每个分支的r_1+k度点依次与图S_n~G的k度点邻接后得到的图,若k≥3,用Y~(sG)(r_kλ__(k-1),n)表示把τ_kY~(sG)(r_(k-1)λ_(k-2),n)中每个分支的τ_(k-1)+k度顶点依次与图S_n~G的k度点邻接后得到的图,这里λ_k=r_kλ_(k-1)+n.运用图的伴随多项式的性质,证明了一类新的图簇Y~(sG)(r_kλ__(k-1),n)∪β_kS_n~G的伴随多项式的因式分解定理,进而得到了这类图的补图的色等价图.     

阶数极大的临界全控制图

称一个没有孤立点的图G 为临界全控制图, 如果G 满足对于任何一个不与悬挂点相邻的顶点v, G - v 的全控制数都小于G 的全控制数. 如果G 的全控制数记为γ_t, 则称这样的临界全控制图G 为γ_t- 临界的. 如果G 是γ_t- 临界的, 且阶数为n, 则n ≤ Δ(G)(γ_t(G)- 1) + 1, 其中Δ(G) 是G 的最大度. 本文将证明对γ_t = 3, 这个阶数的上界是紧的, 并给出所有满足n = Δ(G)(γ_t(G)- 1) + 1 的3-γ_t- 临界图.     

图G_n的优美表示

将给出三个结果:(i)如果图G是SZ(|S|=n≥2)上的整数和图,那么0∈S当且仅当图G至少有一个(n-1)度顶点;(ii)图G(G≠K2)是至少有两个零点的整数和图当且仅当G■K2·Gn;(iii)设图G(G≠K2)是SZ上的整数和图,|S|=n+2,n∈N+.若图G至少有两个零点,则S={mx|m=-1,0,1,2,…,n;x∈Z且x≠0}.     

Total interval number for graphs with bounded degree

The total interval number of an n-vertex graph with maximum degree Δ is at most (Δ + 1/Δ)n/2, with equality if and only if every component of the graph is K_Δ,Δ. If the graph is also required to be connected, then the maximum is Δn/2 + 1 when Δ is even, but when Δ is odd it exceeds [Δ + 1/(2.5Δ + 7.7)]n/2 for infinitely many n. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
