An Upper Bound for the Total Restrained Domination Number of Graphs

Let G be a graph with vertex set V. A set ${D \subseteq V}$ is a total restrained dominating set of G if every vertex in V has a neighbor in D and every vertex in ${V \setminus D}$ has a neighbor in ${V \setminus D}$ . The minimum cardinality of a total restrained dominating set of G is called the total restrained domination number of G, and is denoted by γ _tr (G). In this paper, we prove that if G is a connected graph of order n ≥ 4 and minimum degree at least two, then ${\gamma_{tr}(G) \leq n-\sqrt[3]{n \over 4}}$ .     

An Improved Upper Bound on the Total Restrained Domination Number in Cubic Graphs

In this paper, we continue the study of total restrained domination in graphs. A set S of vertices in a graph G = (V, E) is a total restrained dominating set of G if every vertex of G is adjacent to some vertex in S and every vertex of ${V {\setminus} S}$ is adjacent to a vertex in ${V {\setminus} S}$ . The minimum cardinality of a total restrained dominating set of G is the total restrained domination number γ _tr(G) of G. Jiang et?al. (Graphs Combin 25:341–350, 2009) showed that if G is a connected cubic graph of order n, then γ _tr(G) ≤ 13n/19. In this paper we improve this upper bound to γ _tr(G) ≤ (n?+?4)/2. We provide two infinite families of connected cubic graphs G with γ _tr(G) = n/2, showing that our new improved bound is essentially best possible.     

A Sharp Upper Bound for the Number of Spanning Trees of a Graph

Let G = (V,E) be a simple graph with n vertices, e edges and d₁ be the highest degree. Further let λ_i, i = 1,2,...,n be the non-increasing eigenvalues of the Laplacian matrix of the graph G. In this paper, we obtain the following result: For connected graph G, λ₂ = λ₃ = ... =  λ_n-1 if and only if G is a complete graph or a star graph or a (d₁,d₁) complete bipartite graph. Also we establish the following upper bound for the number of spanning trees of G on n, e and d₁ only:

An Upper Bound for the Total Domination Subdivision Number of a Graph

A set S of vertices of a graph G = (V, E) without isolated vertex is a total dominating set if every vertex of V(G) is adjacent to some vertex in S. The total domination number γ _t (G) is the minimum cardinality of a total dominating set of G. The total domination subdivision number sd_gt(G){{\rm sd}_{\gamma_t}(G)} is the minimum number of edges that must be subdivided (each edge in G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the total domination number. In this paper, we prove that sd_gt(G) ￡ 2g_t(G)-1{{\rm sd}_{\gamma_t}(G)\leq 2\gamma_t(G)-1} for every simple connected graph G of order n ≥ 3.     

A Sharp Bound for the Marginal Appendage Number

For a connected graph G, the distance d(u, v) between two vertices u and v is the length of a shortest u − v path in G and the distance d(v) of a vertex v is the sum of the distances between v and all vertices of G. The margin, μ (G), is the subgraph induced by vertices of G having the maximum distance. It is known that every graph is isomorphic to the margin of some graph H. For a graph G, the marginal appendage number is defined as min{p(H) − p(G) ∣ μ(H) = G}. In this paper it is shown that Δ (G) + 2 is a sharp bound for the marginal appendage number.     

Improved Upper Bounds on the Domination Number of Graphs With Minimum Degree at Least Five

An algorithmic upper bound on the domination number \(\gamma \) of graphs in terms of the order n and the minimum degree \(\delta \) is proved. It is demonstrated that the bound improves best previous bounds for any \(5\le \delta \le 50\). In particular, for \(\delta =5\), Xing et al. (Graphs Comb. 22:127–143, 2006) proved that \(\gamma \le 5n/14 < 0.3572 n\). This bound is improved to 0.3440 n. For \(\delta =6\), Clark et al. (Congr. Numer. 132:99–123, 1998) established \(\gamma <0.3377 n\), while Biró et al. (Bull. Inst. Comb. Appl. 64:73–83, 2012) recently improved it to \(\gamma <0.3340 n\). Here the bound is further improved to \(\gamma < 0.3159n\). For \(\delta =7\), the best earlier bound 0.3088n is improved to \(\gamma < 0.2927n\).

Upper Bound on the Diameter of a Domination Dot-Critical Graph

A vertex of a graph is called critical if its deletion decreases the domination number, and an edge is called dot-critical if its contraction decreases the domination number. A graph is said to be dot-critical if all of its edges are dot-critical. In this paper, we show that if G is a connected dot-critical graph with domination number k??? 3 and diameter d and if G has no critical vertices, then d??? 2k?3.     

Bounds for the Least Laplacian Eigenvalue of a Signed Graph

A signed graph is a graph with a sign attached to each edge. This paper extends some fundamental concepts of the Laplacian matrices from graphs to signed graphs. In particular, the relationships between the least Laplacian eigenvalue and the unbalancedness of a signed graph are investigated.     

Sharp Upper Bound to the First Nonzero Neumann Eigenvalue for Bounded Domains in Spaces of Constant Curvature

The main result of this paper is that for a domain containedin a hemisphere of the n-dimensional sphere Sⁿ the first nonzeroNeumann eigenvalue µ₁() is less than or equal to the firstnonzero Neumann eigenvalue µ₁(D) where D is a geodesicball in Sⁿ of the same measure as . Equality occurs if and onlyif is isometric to D. This result generalizes old results ofSzegö and Weinberger which gave the corresponding upperbound for µ₁() in the Euclidean case, and a result ofChavel for domains in Sⁿ which restricted to lie in a geodesicball of radius when n = 2and to even smaller geodesic balls for larger n. The techniquesused are analogous to those for our recent proof of the Payne-Pólya-Weinbergerconjecture: rearrangement inequalities and properties of specialfunctions are the key elements. The general approach is a directextension of Weinberger's for domains in Rⁿ.

Upper Bounds on the Paired Domination Subdivision Number of a Graph

A paired dominating set of a graph G with no isolated vertex is a dominating set S of vertices such that the subgraph induced by S in G has a perfect matching. The paired domination number of G, denoted by γ _pr(G), is the minimum cardinality of a paired dominating set of G. The paired domination subdivision number ${{\rm sd}_{\gamma _{\rm pr}}(G)}$ is the minimum number of edges to be subdivided (each edge of G can be subdivided at most once) in order to increase the paired domination number. In this paper, we show that if G is a connected graph of order at least 4, then ${{\rm sd}_{\gamma _{\rm pr}}(G)\leq 2|V(G)|-5}$ . We also characterize trees T such that ${{\rm sd}_{\gamma _{\rm pr}}(T) \geq |V(T)| /2}$ .

The Sharp Lower Bound of the First Eigenvalue of the Sub-Laplacian on a Quaternionic Contact Manifold

The main technical result of the paper is a Bochner type formula for the sub-Laplacian on a quaternionic contact manifold. With the help of this formula we establish a version of Lichnerowicz’s theorem giving a lower bound of the eigenvalues of the sub-Laplacian under a lower bound on the Sp(n)Sp(1) components of the qc-Ricci curvature. It is shown that in the case of a 3-Sasakian manifold the lower bound is reached iff the quaternionic contact manifold is a round 3-Sasakian sphere. Another goal of the paper is to establish a priori estimates for square integrals of horizontal derivatives of smooth compactly supported functions. As an application, we prove a sharp inequality bounding the horizontal Hessian of a function by its sub-Laplacian on the quaternionic Heisenberg group.
