In this article, we consider the following problem: Given a bipartite graph G and a positive integer k, when does G have a 2‐factor with exactly k components? We will prove that if G = (V1, V2, E) is a bipartite graph with |V1| = |V2| = n ≥ 2k + 1 and δ (G) ≥ ⌈n/2⌉ + 1, then G contains a 2‐factor with exactly k components. We conjecture that if G = (V1, V2; E) is a bipartite graph such that |V1| = |V2| = n ≥ 2 and δ (G) ≥ ⌈n/2⌉ + 1, then, for any bipartite graph H = (U1, U2; F) with |U1| ≤ n, |U2| ≤ n and Δ (H) ≤ 2, G contains a subgraph isomorphic to H. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A tree is called a k-tree if the maximum degree is at most k. We prove the following theorem, by which a closure concept for spanning k-trees of n-connected graphs can be defined. Let k ≥ 2 and n ≥ 1 be integers, and let u and v be a pair of nonadjacent vertices of an n-connected graph G such that deg

(v) ≥ |G| − 1 − (k − 2)n, where |G| denotes the order of G. Then G has a spanning k-tree if and only if G + uv has a spanning k-tree. 相似文献

A noncomplete graph G is called an (n, k)‐graph if it is n‐connected and G − X is not (n − |X| + 1)‐connected for any X ⊆ V(G) with |X| ≤ k. Mader conjectured that for k ≥ 3 the graph K2k + 2 − (1‐factor) is the unique (2k, k)‐graph. We settle this conjecture for strongly regular graphs, for edge transitive graphs, and for vertex transitive graphs. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 36: 35–51, 2001 相似文献

A non-complete graph G is called an (n,k)-graph if it is n-connected but G—X is not (n−|X|+1)-connected for any X ⊂V (G) with |X|≤k. Mader conjectured that for k≥3 the graph K2k+2−(1−factor) is the unique (2k,k)-graph(up to isomorphism).
Here we prove this conjecture. 相似文献

A digraph G = (V, E) is primitive if, for some positive integer k, there is a u → v walk of length k for every pair u, v of vertices of V. The minimum such k is called the exponent of G, denoted exp(G). The exponent of a vertex u ∈ V, denoted exp(u), is the least integer k such that there is a u → v walk of length k for each v ∈ V. For a set X ⊆ V, exp(X) is the least integer k such that for each v ∈ V there is a X → v walk of length k, i.e., a u → v walk of length k for some u ∈ X. Let F(G, k) : = max{exp(X) : |X| = k} and F(n, k) : = max{F(G, k) : |V| = n}, where |X| and |V| denote the number of vertices in X and V, respectively. Recently, B. Liu and Q. Li proved F(n, k) = (n − k)(n − 1) + 1 for all 1 ≤ k ≤ n − 1. In this article, for each k, 1 ≤ k ≤ n − 1, we characterize the digraphs G such that F(G, k) = F(n, k), thereby answering a question of R. Brualdi and B. Liu. We also find some new upper bounds on the (ordinary) exponent of G in terms of the maximum outdegree of G, Δ+(G) = max{d+(u) : u ∈ V}, and thus obtain a new refinement of the Wielandt bound (n − 1)2 + 1. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The average distance μ(G) of a graph G is the average among the distances between all pairs of vertices in G. For n ≥ 2, the average Steiner n-distance μn(G) of a connected graph G is the average Steiner distance over all sets of n vertices in G. It is shown that for a connected weighted graph G, μn(G) ≤ μk(G) + μn+1−k(G) where 2 ≤ k ≤ n − 1. The range for the average Steiner n-distance of a connected graph G in terms of n and |V(G)| is established. Moreover, for a tree T and integer k, 2 ≤ k ≤ n − 1, it is shown that μn(T) ≤ (n/k)μk(T) and the range for μn(T) in terms of n and |V(T)| is established. Two efficient algorithms for finding the average Steiner n-distance of a tree are outlined. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

An edge of a 5-connected graph is said to be 5-contractible if the contraction of the edge results in a 5-connected graph. A 5-connected graph with no 5-contractible edge is said to be contraction-critically 5-connected. Let V(G) and V5(G) denote the vertex set of a graph G and the set of degree 5 vertices of G, respectively. We prove that each contraction-critically 5-connected graph G has at least |V(G)|/2 vertices of degree 5. We also show that there is a sequence of contraction-critically 5-connected graphs {Gi} such that limi→∞|V5(Gi)|/|V(Gi)|=1/2. 相似文献

For a graph G, let σ2(G) denote the minimum degree sum of a pair of nonadjacent vertices. We conjecture that if |V(G)| = n = Σki = 1 ai and σ2(G) ≥ n + k − 1, then for any k vertices v1, v2,…, vk in G, there exist vertex‐disjoint paths P1, P2,…, Pk such that |V(Pi)| = ai and vi is an endvertex of Pi for 1 ≤ i ≤ k. In this paper, we verify the conjecture for the cases where almost all ai ≤ 5, and the cases where k ≤ 3. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Graph Theory 34: 163–169, 2000 相似文献

Let G be a simple undirected graph of order n. For an independent set S ? V(G) of k vertices, we define the k neighborhood intersections Si = {v ? V(G)\S|N(v) ∩ S| = i}, 1 ≦ i ≦ k, with si = |Si|. Using the concept of insertible vertices and the concept of neighborhood intersections, we prove the following theorem. 相似文献

Let C be a longest cycle in the 3‐connected graph G and let H be a component of G ? V(C) such that |V(H)| ≥ 3. We supply estimates of the form |C| ≥ 2d(u) + 2d(v) ? α(4 ≤ α ≤ 8), where u,v are suitably chosen non‐adjacent vertices in G. Also the exceptional classes for α = 6,7,8 are characterized. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 相似文献

The competition graph of a digraph D is a (simple undirected) graph which has the same vertex set as D and has an edge between two distinct vertices x and y if and only if there exists a vertex v in D such that (x, v) and (y, v) are arcs of D. For any graph G, G together with sufficiently many isolated vertices is the competition graph of some acyclic digraph. The competition number k(G) of a graph G is the smallest number of such isolated vertices. Computing the competition number of a graph is an NP-hard problem in general and has been one of the important research problems in the study of competition graphs. Opsut [1982] showed that the competition number of a graph G is related to the edge clique cover number θ E (G) of the graph G via θ E (G) ? |V(G)| + 2 ≤ k(G) ≤ θ E (G). We first show that for any positive integer m satisfying 2 ≤ m ≤ |V(G)|, there exists a graph G with k(G) = θ E (G) ? |V(G)| + m and characterize a graph G satisfying k(G) = θ E (G). We then focus on what we call competitively tight graphs G which satisfy the lower bound, i.e., k(G) = θ E (G) ? |V(G)| + 2. We completely characterize the competitively tight graphs having at most two triangles. In addition, we provide a new upper bound for the competition number of a graph from which we derive a sufficient condition and a necessary condition for a graph to be competitively tight. 相似文献

Let k ≥ 2 be an integer. We show that if G is a (k + 1)-connected graph and each pair of nonadjacent vertices in G has degree sum at least |G| + 1, then for each subset S of V(G) with |S| = k, G has a spanning tree such that S is the set of endvertices. This result generalizes Ore’s theorem which guarantees the existence of a Hamilton path connecting
any two vertices.

It is shown that if G is a graph of order n with minimum degree δ(G), then for any set of k specified vertices {v1,v2,…,vk} ? V(G), there is a 2‐factor of G with precisely k cycles {C1,C2,…,Ck} such that vi ∈ V(Ci) for (1 ≤ i ≤ k) if or 3k + 1 ≤ n ≤ 4k, or 4k ≤ n ≤ 6k ? 3,δ(G) ≥ 3k ? 1 or n ≥ 6k ? 3, . Examples are described that indicate this result is sharp. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Graph Theory 43: 188–198, 2003 相似文献

For a graph G and an integer k ≥ 1, let ςk(G) = dG(vi): {v1, …, vk} is an independent set of vertices in G}. Enomoto proved the following theorem. Let s ≥ 1 and let G be a (s + 2)-connected graph. Then G has a cycle of length ≥ min{|V(G)|, ς2(G) − s} passing through any path of length s. We generalize this result as follows. Let k ≥ 3 and s ≥ 1 and let G be a (k + s − 1)-connected graph. Then G has a cycle of length ≥ min{|V(G)|, − s} passing through any path of length s. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J. Graph Theory 29: 177–184, 1998 相似文献

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. 相似文献

A graph is said to have property P(k,l)(k ? l) if for any X ∈ (Gk) there exists a cycle such that |X ∩ V(C)| = l. Obviously an n-connected graph (n ? 2) satisfies P(n,n). In this paper, we study parameters k and l such that every n-connected graph satisfies P(k,l). We show that for r = 1 or 2 every n-connected graph satisfies P(n + r,n). For r = 3, there are infinitely many 3-connected graphs that do not satisfy P(6,3). However, if n ? max{3,(2r ?1)(r + 1)}, then every n-connected graph satisfies P(n + r,n). 相似文献

E. Schmeichel and D. Hayes showed that ifG is a 2-connected graph withd(u) +d(v)≥n ?1 for every pair of nonadjacent vertices andv, then G has a Hamiltonian cycle unlessG is the graph of Fig. 2 (b). In this paper, it is proved that, under almost the same conditions as Schmeichel and Hayes’s Theorem, namely,G is a 2-connected graph of ordern (n ≥ 40) with δ(G) ≥ 7 for every pair of nonadjacent vertices andv, G has two edge-disjoint Hamiltonian cycles unlessG is one of the graphs in Fig. 1 or Fig. 2, and this conclusion is best possible. 相似文献

The Harary index is defined as the sum of reciprocals of distances between all pairs of vertices of a connected graph. The quasi-tree graph is a graph G in which there exists a vertex v∈V(G) such that G?v is a tree. In this paper, we presented the upper and lower bounds on the Harary index of all quasi-tree graphs of order n and characterized the corresponding extremal graphs. Moreover we defined the k-generalized quasi-tree graph to be a connected graph G with a subset V k ?V(G) where |V k |=k such that G?V k is a tree. And we also determined the k-generalized quasi-tree graph of order n with maximal Harary index for all values of k and the extremal one with minimal Harary index for k=2. 相似文献

In this paper we consider those graphs that have maximum degree at least 1/k times their order, where k is a (small) positive integer. A result of Hajnal and Szemerédi concerning equitable vertex-colorings and an adaptation of the standard proof of Vizing's Theorem are used to show that if the maximum degree of a graph G satisfies Δ(G) ≥ |V(G)/k, then X″(G) ≤ Δ(G) + 2k + 1. This upper bound is an improvement on the currently available upper bounds for dense graphs having large order. 相似文献
