Reconstructing a Graph from its Arc Incidence Graph

Introduced implicitly by Brualdi and Massey (Discret Math 122(1–3):51–58, 1993) in their work on the strong chromatic index of multigraphs, the arc incidence graph AI(G) of a graph G is defined as the square of the line graph of the incidence graph of G. We describe a linear-time algorithm for recognizing arc incidence graphs and reconstructing a graph with no isolated vertices from its arc incidence graph.

A Graph Theoretic Expansion Formula for Cluster Algebras of Classical Type

In this paper we give a graph theoretic combinatorial interpretation for the cluster variables that arise in most cluster algebras of finite type with bipartite seed. In particular, we provide a family of graphs such that a weighted enumeration of their perfect matchings encodes the numerator of the associated Laurent polynomial while decompositions of the graphs correspond to the denominator. This complements recent work by Schiffler and Carroll-Price for a cluster expansion formula for the A _n case while providing a novel interpretation for the B _n , C _n , and D _n cases.

Treewidth of the Line Graph of a Complete Graph

In recent articles by Grohe and Marx, the treewidth of the line graph of a complete graph is a critical example—in a certain sense, every graph with large treewidth “contains” . However, the treewidth of was not determined exactly. We determine the exact treewidth of the line graph of a complete graph.

Graph polynomials from principal pivoting

The recursive computation of the interlace polynomial introduced by Arratia, Bollobás and Sorkin is defined in terms of a new pivoting operation on undirected simple graphs. In this paper, we interpret the new pivoting operation on graphs in terms of standard pivoting (on matrices). Specifically, we show that, up to swapping vertex labels, Arratia et al.'s pivoting operation on a graph is equivalent to a principal pivot transform on the graph's adjacency matrix, provided that all computations are performed in the Galois field F₂. Principal pivoting on adjacency matrices over F₂ has a natural counterpart on isotropic systems. Thus, our view of the interlace polynomial is closely related to the one by Aigner and van der Holst.The observations that adjacency matrices of undirected simple graphs are skew-symmetric in F₂ and that principal pivoting preserves skew-symmetry in all fields suggest to extend Arratia et al.'s pivoting operation to fields other than F₂. Thus, the interlace polynomial extends to polynomials on gain graphs, namely bidirected edge-weighted graphs whereby reversed edges carry non-zero weights that differ only by their sign. Extending a proof by Aigner and van der Holst, we show that the extended interlace polynomial can be represented in a non-recursive form analogous to the non-recursive form of the original interlace polynomial, i.e., the Martin polynomial.For infinite fields it is shown that the extended interlace polynomial does not depend on the (non-zero) gains, as long as they obey a non-singularity condition. These gain graphs are all supported by a single undirected simple graph. Thus, a new graph polynomial is defined for undirected simple graphs. The recursive computation of the new polynomial can be done such that all ends of the recursion correspond to independent sets. Moreover, its degree equals the independence number. However, the new graph polynomial is different from the independence polynomial.     

Spanning Connectivity of the Power of a Graph and Hamilton-Connected Index of a Graph

Let G = (V, E) be a connected graph. The hamiltonian index h(G) (Hamilton-connected index hc(G)) of G is the least nonnegative integer k for which the iterated line graph L ^k (G) is hamiltonian (Hamilton-connected). In this paper we show the following. (a) If |V(G)| ≥ k + 1 ≥ 4, then in G ^k , for any pair of distinct vertices {u, v}, there exists k internally disjoint (u, v)-paths that contains all vertices of G; (b) for a tree T,  h(T) ≤ hc(T) ≤ h(T) + 1, and for a unicyclic graph G,  h(G) ≤ hc(G) ≤ max{h(G) + 1, k′ + 1}, where k′ is the length of a longest path with all vertices on the cycle such that the two ends of it are of degree at least 3 and all internal vertices are of degree 2; (c) we also characterize the trees and unicyclic graphs G for which hc(G) = h(G) + 1.

Untangling a Planar Graph

A straight-line drawing δ of a planar graph G need not be plane but can be made so by untangling it, that is, by moving some of the vertices of G. Let shift(G,δ) denote the minimum number of vertices that need to be moved to untangle δ. We show that shift(G,δ) is NP-hard to compute and to approximate. Our hardness results extend to a version of 1BendPointSetEmbeddability, a well-known graph-drawing problem. Further we define fix(G,δ)=n?shift(G,δ) to be the maximum number of vertices of a planar n-vertex graph G that can be fixed when untangling δ. We give an algorithm that fixes at least $\sqrt{((\log n)-1)/\log\log n}$ vertices when untangling a drawing of an n-vertex graph G. If G is outerplanar, the same algorithm fixes at least $\sqrt{n/2}$ vertices. On the other hand, we construct, for arbitrarily large n, an n-vertex planar graph G and a drawing δ _G of G with $\ensuremath {\mathrm {fix}}(G,\delta_{G})\leq \sqrt{n-2}+1$ and an n-vertex outerplanar graph H and a drawing δ _H of H with $\ensuremath {\mathrm {fix}}(H,\delta_{H})\leq2\sqrt{n-1}+1$ . Thus our algorithm is asymptotically worst-case optimal for outerplanar graphs.

Every 4-Connected Line Graph of a Planar Graph is Hamiltonian

Let G be a graph withE(G) $#x2260;ø. The line graph of G, written L(G) hasE(G) as its vertex set, where two vertices are adjacent in L(G) if and only if the corresponding edges are adjacent inG. Thomassen conjectured that all 4-connected line graphs are hamiltonian [2]. We show that this conjecture holds for planar graphs.     

Non-Nilpotent Graph of a Group

We associate a graph 𝒩 _G with a group G (called the non-nilpotent graph of G) as follows: take G as the vertex set and two vertices are adjacent if they generate a non-nilpotent subgroup. In this article, we study the graph theoretical properties of 𝒩 _G and its induced subgraph on G \ nil(G), where nil(G) = {x ∈ G | ? x, y ? is nilpotent for all y ∈ G}. For any finite group G, we prove that 𝒩 _G has either |Z*(G)| or |Z*(G)| +1 connected components, where Z*(G) is the hypercenter of G. We give a new characterization for finite nilpotent groups in terms of the non-nilpotent graph. In fact, we prove that a finite group G is nilpotent if and only if the set of vertex degrees of 𝒩 _G has at most two elements.     

Noncyclic Graph of a Group

We associate a graph Γ _G to a nonlocally cyclic group G (called the noncyclic graph of G) as follows: take G\ Cyc(G) as vertex set, where Cyc(G) = {x ? G| 〈x, y〉 is cyclic for all y ? G}, and join two vertices if they do not generate a cyclic subgroup. We study the properties of this graph and we establish some graph theoretical properties (such as regularity) of this graph in terms of the group ones. We prove that the clique number of Γ _G is finite if and only if Γ _G has no infinite clique. We prove that if G is a finite nilpotent group and H is a group with Γ _G  ? Γ _H and |Cyc(G)| = |Cyc(H)| = 1, then H is a finite nilpotent group. We give some examples of groups G whose noncyclic graphs are “unique”, i.e., if Γ _G  ? Γ _H for some group H, then G ? H. In view of these examples, we conjecture that every finite nonabelian simple group has a unique noncyclic graph. Also we give some examples of finite noncyclic groups G with the property that if Γ _G  ? Γ _H for some group H, then |G| = |H|. These suggest the question whether the latter property holds for all finite noncyclic groups.     

Color Chain of a Graph

For a simple connected undirected graph G, c(G), c_f(G), Y_f(G), f(G), ?G(G){\chi(G), \chi_f(G), \Psi_f(G), \phi(G), \partial \Gamma (G)} and Ψ(G) denote respectively the chromatic number, fall chromatic number (assuming that it exists for G), fall achromatic number, b-chromatic number, partial Grundy number and achromatic number of G. It is shown in Dunbar et al. (J Combin Math & Combin Comput 33:257–273, 2000) that for any graph G for which fall coloring exists, c(G) ￡ c_f(G) ￡ Y_f (G) ￡ f(G) ￡ ?G(G) ￡ Y(G){\chi (G)\leq \chi_f(G) \leq \Psi_f (G) \leq \phi(G) \leq \partial \Gamma (G)\leq \Psi (G)} . In this paper, we exhibit an infinite family of graphs G with a strictly increasing color chain: c(G) < c_f(G) < Y_f (G) < f(G) < ?G(G) < Y(G){\chi (G) < \chi_f(G) < \Psi_f (G) < \phi(G) < \partial \Gamma (G) < \Psi (G)} . The existence of such a chain was raised by Dunbar et al.
