Upper Bounds for the Rainbow Connection Numbers of Line Graphs

A path in an edge-colored graph G, where adjacent edges may be colored the same, is called a rainbow path if no two edges of it are colored the same. A nontrivial connected graph G is rainbow connected if for any two vertices of G there is a rainbow path connecting them. The rainbow connection number of G, denoted rc(G), is defined as the smallest number of colors such that G is rainbow connected. In this paper, we mainly study the rainbow connection number rc(L(G)) of the line graph L(G) of a graph G which contains triangles. We get two sharp upper bounds for rc(L(G)), in terms of the number of edge-disjoint triangles of G. We also give results on the iterated line graphs.     

Trees with Equal Domination and Restrained Domination Numbers

Let G = (V,E) be a graph and let S V. The set S is a packing in G if the vertices of S are pairwise at distance at least three apart in G. The set S is a dominating set (DS) if every vertex in V − S is adjacent to a vertex in S. Further, if every vertex in V − S is also adjacent to a vertex in V − S, then S is a restrained dominating set (RDS). The domination number of G, denoted by γ(G), is the minimum cardinality of a DS of G, while the restrained domination number of G, denoted by γ_r(G), is the minimum cardinality of a RDS of G. The graph G is γ-excellent if every vertex of G belongs to some minimum DS of G. A constructive characterization of trees with equal domination and restrained domination numbers is presented. As a consequence of this characterization we show that the following statements are equivalent: (i) T is a tree with γ(T)=γ_r(T); (ii) T is a γ-excellent tree and T ≠ K₂; and (iii) T is a tree that has a unique maximum packing and this set is a dominating set of T. We show that if T is a tree of order n with ℓ leaves, then γ_r(T) ≤ (n + ℓ + 1)/2, and we characterize those trees achieving equality.     

New Bounds on Crossing Numbers

The crossing number , cr(G) , of a graph G is the least number of crossing points in any drawing of G in the plane. Denote by κ(n,e) the minimum of cr(G) taken over all graphs with n vertices and at least e edges. We prove a conjecture of Erdos os and Guy by showing that κ(n,e)n ² /e ³ tends to a positive constant as n→∈fty and n l e l n ² . Similar results hold for graph drawings on any other surface of fixed genus. We prove better bounds for graphs satisfying some monotone properties. In particular, we show that if G is a graph with n vertices and e≥ 4n edges, which does not contain a cycle of length four (resp. six ), then its crossing number is at least ce ⁴ /n ³ (resp. ce ⁵ /n ⁴ ), where c>0 is a suitable constant. These results cannot be improved, apart from the value of the constant. This settles a question of Simonovits. Received January 27, 1999, and in revised form March 23, 1999.

Bounds on the 2-Rainbow Domination Number of Graphs

A 2-rainbow domination function of a graph G is a function f that assigns to each vertex a set of colors chosen from the set {1, 2}, such that for any ${v\in V(G), f(v)=\emptyset}$ implies ${\bigcup_{u\in N(v)}f(u)=\{1,2\}.}$ The 2-rainbow domination number γ _r2(G) of a graph G is the minimum ${w(f)=\Sigma_{v\in V}|f(v)|}$ over all such functions f. Let G be a connected graph of order |V(G)| = n ≥ 3. We prove that γ _r2(G) ≤ 3n/4 and we characterize the graphs achieving equality. We also prove a lower bound for 2-rainbow domination number of a tree using its domination number. Some other lower and upper bounds of γ _r2(G) in terms of diameter are also given.

On Domination and Independence Numbers of Graphs

A set S of vertices of a graph G is dominating if each vertex x not in S is adjacent to some vertex in S, and is independent if no two vertices in S are adjacent. The domination number, γ(G), is the order of the smallest dominating set in G. The independence number, α(G), is the order of the largest independent set in G. In this paper we characterize bipartite graphs and block graphs G for which γ(G) = α(G).

Bounds on the Total Restrained Domination Number of a Graph

Let G = (V, E) be a graph. A set S í V{S \subseteq V} is a total restrained dominating set if every vertex is adjacent to a vertex in S and every vertex of V − S is adjacent to a vertex in V − S. The total restrained domination number of G, denoted by γ _tr (G), is the smallest cardinality of a total restrained dominating set of G. We show that if δ ≥ 3, then γ _tr (G) ≤ n − δ − 2 provided G is not one of several forbidden graphs. Furthermore, we show that if G is r − regular, where 4 ≤ r ≤ n − 3, then γ _tr (G) ≤ n − diam(G) − r + 1.

Rainbow Numbers for Cycles with Pendant Edges

A subgraph of an edge-colored graph is called rainbow if all of its edges have different colors. For a graph H and a positive integer n, the anti-Ramsey number f (n, H) is the maximum number of colors in an edge-coloring of K _n with no rainbow copy of H. The rainbow number rb(n, H) is the minimum number of colors such that any edge-coloring of K _n with rb(n, H) number of colors contains a rainbow copy of H. Certainly rb(n, H) = f(n, H) + 1. Anti-Ramsey numbers were introduced by Erdős et al. [4] and studied in numerous papers. We show that for n ≥ k + 1, where C _k ⁺ denotes a cycle C _k with a pendant edge.
