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.     

Complete graph immersions and minimum degree

An immersion of a graph H in another graph G is a one‐to‐one mapping and a collection of edge‐disjoint paths in G, one for each edge of H, such that the path corresponding to the edge has endpoints and . The immersion is strong if the paths are internally disjoint from . We prove that every simple graph of minimum degree at least contains a strong immersion of the complete graph . This improves on previously known bound of minimum degree at least 200t obtained by DeVos et al. Our result supports a conjecture of Lescure and Meyniel (also independently proposed by Abu‐Khzam and Langston), which is the analogue of famous Hadwiger’s conjecture for immersions and says that every graph without a ‐immersion is ‐colorable.     

On a classical theorem on the diameter and minimum degree of a graph

In this work, we obtain good upper bounds for the diameter of any graph in terms of its minimum degree and its order, improving a classical theorem due to Erd¨os, Pach, Pollack and Tuza.We use these bounds in order to study hyperbolic graphs(in the Gromov sense). To compute the hyperbolicity constant is an almost intractable problem, thus it is natural to try to bound it in terms of some parameters of the graph. Let H(n, δ_0) be the set of graphs G with n vertices and minimum degree δ_0, and J(n, Δ) be the set of graphs G with n vertices and maximum degree Δ. We study the four following extremal problems on graphs: a(n, δ_0) = min{δ(G) | G ∈ H(n, δ_0)}, b(n, δ_0) = max{δ(G) |G ∈ H(n, δ_0)}, α(n, Δ) = min{δ(G) | G ∈ J(n, Δ)} and β(n, Δ) = max{δ(G) | G ∈ J(n, Δ)}. In particular, we obtain bounds for b(n, δ_0) and we compute the precise value of a(n, δ_0), α(n, Δ) andβ(n, Δ) for all values of n, δ_0 and Δ, respectively.     

The maximum degree of a minimally hamiltonian-connected graph

We determine the possible maximum degrees of a minimally hamiltonian-connected graph with a given order. This answers a question posed by Modalleliyan and Omoomi in 2016. We also pose two unsolved problems.     

An upper bound for the restrained domination number of a graph with minimum degree at least two in terms of order and minimum degree

Let G=(V,E) be a graph. A set S⊆V is a restrained dominating set if every vertex in V−S is adjacent to a vertex in S and to a vertex in V−S. The restrained domination number of G, denoted γ_r(G), is the smallest cardinality of a restrained dominating set of G. We will show that if G is a connected graph of order n and minimum degree δ and not isomorphic to one of nine exceptional graphs, then .

The random connection model: Connectivity,edge lengths,and degree distributions

Consider the random graph whose vertex set is a Poisson point process of intensity n on . Any two vertices are connected by an edge with probability , independently of all other edges, and independent of the other points of . d is the toroidal metric, r > 0 and is non‐increasing and . Under suitable conditions on g, almost surely, the critical parameter M_n for which does not have any isolated nodes satisfies . Let , and θ be the volume of the unit ball in . Then for all , is connected with probability approaching one as . The bound can be seen to be tight for the usual random geometric graph obtained by setting . We also prove some useful results on the asymptotic behavior of the length of the edges and the degree distribution in the connectivity regime. The results in this paper work for connection functions g that are not necessarily compactly supported but satisfy .     

Nonseparating K4‐subdivisions in graphs of minimum degree at least 4

We first prove that for every vertex x of a 4‐connected graph G, there exists a subgraph H in G isomorphic to a subdivision of the complete graph K₄ on four vertices such that is connected and contains x. This implies an affirmative answer to a question of Kühnel whether every 4‐connected graph G contains a subdivision H of K₄ as a subgraph such that is connected. The motor for our induction is a result of Fontet and Martinov stating that every 4‐connected graph can be reduced to a smaller one by contracting a single edge, unless the graph is the square of a cycle or the line graph of a cubic graph. It turns out that this is the only ingredient of the proof where 4‐connectedness is used. We then generalize our result to connected graphs of minimum degree at least 4 by developing the respective motor, a structure theorem for the class of simple connected graphs of minimum degree at least 4. A simple connected graph G of minimum degree 4 cannot be reduced to a smaller such graph by deleting a single edge or contracting a single edge and simplifying if and only if it is the square of a cycle or the edge disjoint union of copies of certain bricks as follows: Each brick is isomorphic to K₃, K₅, K_{2, 2, 2}, , , or one the four graphs , , , obtained from K₅ and K_{2, 2, 2} by deleting the edges of a triangle, or replacing a vertex x by two new vertices and adding four edges to the endpoints of two disjoint edges of its former neighborhood, respectively. Bricks isomorphic to K₅ or K_{2, 2, 2} share exactly one vertex with the other bricks of the decomposition, vertices of degree 4 in any other brick are not contained in any further brick of the decomposition, and the vertices of a brick isomorphic to K₃ must have degree 4 in G and have pairwise no common neighbors outside that brick.

The maximum and minimum degrees of random bipartite multigraphs

In this paper the authors generalize the classic random bipartite graph model, and define a model of the random bipartite multigraphs as follows:let m = m（n） be a positive integer-valued function on n and ζ（n,m;{pk}） the probability space consisting of all the labeled bipartite multigraphs with two vertex sets A ={a₁,a₂,...,a_n} and B = {b₁,b₂,...,b_m}, in which the numbers t_ai,b_j of the edges between any two vertices a_i∈A and b_j∈ B are identically distributed independent random variables with distribution P{t_ai,b_j=k}=pk,k=0,1,2,...,where pk ≥0 and ∞Σk=0 pk=1. They obtain that X_c,d,A, the number of vertices in A with degree between c and d of G_n,m∈ζ（n, m;{pk}） has asymptotically Poisson distribution, and answer the following two questions about the space ζ（n,m;{pk}） with {pk} having geometric distribution, binomial distribution and Poisson distribution, respectively. Under which condition for {pk} can there be a function D（n） such that almost every random multigraph G_n,m∈ζ（n,m;{pk}） has maximum degree D（n）in A? under which condition for {pk} has almost every multigraph G（n,m）∈ζ（n,m;{pk}） a unique vertex of maximum degree in A?     

On diameter and inverse degree of a graph

The inverse degree r(G) of a finite graph G=(V,E) is defined as , where is the degree of vertex v. We establish inequalities concerning the sum of the diameter and the inverse degree of a graph which for the most part are tight. We also find upper bounds on the diameter of a graph in terms of its inverse degree for several important classes of graphs. For these classes, our results improve bounds by Erd?s et al. (1988) [5], and by Dankelmann et al. (2008) [4].     

On the minimum degree,edge-connectivity and connectivity of power graphs of finite groups

In this paper, the minimum degree of power graphs of certain cyclic groups, abelian p-groups, dihedral groups and dicyclic groups are obtained. It is ascertained that the edge-connectivity and minimum degree of power graphs are equal, and consequently, the minimum disconnecting sets of power graphs of the aforementioned groups are determined. In order to investigate the equality of connectivity and minimum degree of power graphs, certain necessary conditions for finite groups and a necessary and su?cient condition for finite cyclic groups are obtained. Moreover, the equality is discussed for the power graphs of abelian p-groups, dihedral groups and dicyclic groups.     

The average degree of a subcubic edge-chromatic critical graph

A graph is here called 3- critical if , and for every edge of . The 3-critical graphs include (the Petersen graph with a vertex deleted), and subcubic graphs that are Hajós joins of copies of . Building on a recent paper of Cranston and Rabern, it is proved here that if is 3-critical and not nor a Hajós join of two copies of , then has average degree at least ; this bound is sharp, as it is the average degree of a Hajós join of three copies of .     

The number of graphs and a random graph with a given degree sequence

We consider the set of all graphs on n labeled vertices with prescribed degrees D = (d₁,…,d_n). For a wide class of tame degree sequences D we obtain a computationally efficient asymptotic formula approximating the number of graphs within a relative error which approaches 0 as n grows. As a corollary, we prove that the structure of a random graph with a given tame degree sequence D is well described by a certain maximum entropy matrix computed from D. We also establish an asymptotic formula for the number of bipartite graphs with prescribed degrees of vertices, or, equivalently, for the number of 0‐1 matrices with prescribed row and column sums. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
