Let be a matroid and . The -exchange basis graph of has vertices labeled by bases of , and two vertices are adjacent when the bases labeling them have symmetric difference for some . In this paper we show that a connected matroid is exactly a matroid with the property that for every element , the -exchange basis graph is connected. 相似文献

The distinguishing number of a group acting on a finite set , denoted by , is the least such that there is a -coloring of which is preserved only by elements of fixing all points in . For a map , also called a cellular graph embedding or ribbon graph, the action of on the vertex set gives the distinguishing number . It is known that whenever . The action of on the edge set gives the distinguishing index , which has not been studied before. It is shown that the only maps with are the following: the tetrahedron; the maps in the sphere with underlying graphs , or for ; a map in the projective plane with underlying graph ; two one-vertex maps with 4 or 5 edges; one two-vertex map with 4 edges; or any map obtained from these maps using duality or Petrie duality. There are 39 maps in all. 相似文献

The Hadwiger number of a graph , denoted , is the largest integer such that contains as a minor. A famous conjecture due to Hadwiger in 1943 states that for every graph , , where denotes the chromatic number of . Let denote the independence number of . A graph is -free if it does not contain the graph as an induced subgraph. In 2003, Plummer, Stiebitz and Toft proved that for all -free graphs with , where is any graph on four vertices with , , or is a particular graph on seven vertices. In 2010, Kriesell subsequently generalized the statement to include all forbidden subgraphs on five vertices with . In this note, we prove that for all -free graphs with , where denotes the wheel on six vertices. 相似文献

For an integer , a graph is -hamiltonian if for any vertex subset with , is hamiltonian, and is -hamiltonian connected if for any vertex subset with , is hamiltonian connected. Thomassen in 1984 conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian (see Thomassen, 1986), and Ku?zel and Xiong in 2004 conjectured that every 4-connected line graph is hamiltonian connected (see Ryjá?ek and Vrána, 2011). In Broersma and Veldman (1987), Broersma and Veldman raised the characterization problem of -hamiltonian line graphs. In Lai and Shao (2013), it is conjectured that for , a line graph is -hamiltonian if and only if is -connected. In this paper we prove the following.(i) For an integer , the line graph of a claw-free graph is -hamiltonian if and only if is -connected.(ii) The line graph of a claw-free graph is 1-hamiltonian connected if and only if is 4-connected. 相似文献

In 1996, Cox and Rodger [Cycle systems of the line graph of the complete graph, J. Graph Theory 21 (1996) 173–182] raised the following question: For what values of and does there exist an -cycle decomposition of In this paper, the above question is answered for In fact, it is shown that the -fold line graph of the complete graph has a -decomposition if and only if and 相似文献

Given a simple graph with vertex set and edge set , the mixed graph is obtained from by orienting some of its edges. Let denote the Hermitian adjacency matrix of and be the adjacency matrix of . The -rank (resp. rank) of (resp. ), written as (resp. ), is the rank of (resp. ). Denote by the dimension of cycle space of , that is , where denotes the number of connected components of . In this paper, we concentrate on the relation between the -rank of and the rank of . We first show that for every mixed graph . Then we characterize all the mixed graphs that attain the above lower (resp. upper) bound. By these obtained results in the current paper, all the main results obtained in Luo et al. (2018); Wong et al. (2016) may be deduced consequently. 相似文献

We present a concept called the branch-depth of a connectivity function, that generalizes the tree-depth of graphs. Then we prove two theorems showing that this concept aligns closely with the notions of tree-depth and shrub-depth of graphs as follows. For a graph and a subset of we let be the number of vertices incident with an edge in and an edge in . For a subset of , let be the rank of the adjacency matrix between and over the binary field. We prove that a class of graphs has bounded tree-depth if and only if the corresponding class of functions has bounded branch-depth and similarly a class of graphs has bounded shrub-depth if and only if the corresponding class of functions has bounded branch-depth, which we call the rank-depth of graphs.Furthermore we investigate various potential generalizations of tree-depth to matroids and prove that matroids representable over a fixed finite field having no large circuits are well-quasi-ordered by restriction. 相似文献

For a graph , the -dominating graph of has vertices corresponding to the dominating sets of having cardinality at most , where two vertices of are adjacent if and only if the dominating set corresponding to one of the vertices can be obtained from the dominating set corresponding to the second vertex by the addition or deletion of a single vertex. We denote the domination and upper domination numbers of by and , respectively, and the smallest integer for which is connected for all by . It is known that , but constructing a graph such that appears to be difficult.We present two related constructions. The first construction shows that for each integer and each integer such that , there exists a graph such that , and . The second construction shows that for each integer and each integer such that , there exists a graph such that , and . 相似文献

For any sequence , the extremal function is the maximum possible length of a -sparse sequence with distinct letters that avoids . We prove that if is an alternating sequence of length , then for all and , answering a question of Wellman and Pettie (2018) and extending the result of Roselle and Stanton that for any alternation of length (Roselle and Stanton, 1971).Wellman and Pettie also asked how large must be for there to exist -block sequences of length . We answer this question by showing that the maximum possible length of an -block sequence is if and only if . We also show related results for extremal functions of forbidden 0–1 matrices with any constant number of rows and extremal functions of forbidden sequences with any constant number of distinct letters. 相似文献

For any graph with , a shortest path reconfiguration graph can be formed with respect to and ; we denote such a graph as . The vertex set of is the set of all shortest paths from to in while two vertices in are adjacent if and only if the vertex sets of the paths that represent and differ in exactly one vertex. In a recent paper (Asplund et al., 2018), it was shown that shortest path graphs with girth five or greater are exactly disjoint unions of even cycles and paths. In this paper, we extend this result by classifying all shortest path graphs with no induced 4-cycles. 相似文献

In 2003, Kostochka, Pelsmajer, and West introduced a list analogue of equitable coloring called equitable choosability. In this paper, we motivate and define a new list analogue of equitable coloring called proportional choosability. A -assignment for a graph specifies a list of available colors for each vertex of . An -coloring assigns a color to each vertex from its list . For each color , let be the number of vertices whose list contains . A proportional-coloring of is a proper -coloring in which each color is used or times. A graph is proportionally-choosable if a proportional -coloring of exists whenever is a -assignment for . We show that if a graph is proportionally -choosable, then every subgraph of is also proportionally -choosable and also is proportionally -choosable, unlike equitable choosability for which analogous claims would be false. We also show that any graph is proportionally -choosable whenever , and we use matching theory to completely characterize the proportional choosability of stars and the disjoint union of cliques. 相似文献

A -list assignment of a graph is a mapping that assigns to each vertex a list of at least colors satisfying for each edge . A graph is -choosable if there exists an -coloring of for every -list assignment . This concept is also known as choosability with separation. In this paper, we prove that any planar graph is -choosable if any -cycle is not adjacent to a -cycle, where and . 相似文献
