树的L(3,2,1)-标号问题

An L(3,2,1)-labeling of a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V(G) to the set of all non-negative integers(labels) such that |f(u)-f(v)|≥3 if d(u,v)=1,|f(u)-f(v)≥2 if d(u,v)=2 and |f(u)-f(v)|≥1 if d(u,v)=3.For a non-negative integer k,a k-L(3,2,1)-labeling is an L(3,2,1)-labeling such that no label is greater than k.The L(3,2,1)-labeling number of G,denoted by λ_(3,2,1)(G), is the smallest number k such that G has a k-L(3,2,1)-labeling.In this article,we characterize the L(3,2,1)-labeling numbers of trees with diameter at most 6.     

Frequency Assignment through Combinatorial Optimization Approach

An L(2,1)-labeling of a graph G is a function f from the vertex set V(G) to the set of all nonnegative integers such that |f(x)-f(y)|(?)2 if d(x, y)=1 and |f(x)-f(y)|(?)1 if d(x,y)=2. The L(2,1)-labeling numberλ(G) of G is the smallest number k such that G has an L(2,1)-labeling with max{f(v) : v∈V(G)}=k. We study the L(3,2,1)-labeling which is a generalization of the L(2,1)-labeling on the graph formed by the (Cartesian) product and composition of 3 graphs and derive the upper bounds ofλs(G) of the graph.     

The L（3,2, 1）-labeling on Bipartite Graphs

An L（3, 2, 1）-labeling of a graph G is a function from the vertex set V（G） to the set of all nonnegative integers such that ｜f（u）-f（v）｜≥3 if dG（u,v） = 1, ｜f（u）-f（v）｜≥2 if dG（u,v） = 2, and ｜f（u）-f（v）｜≥1 if dG（u,v） = 3. The L（3, 2,1）-labeling problem is to find the smallest number λ3（G） such that there exists an L（3, 2,1）-labeling function with no label greater than it. This paper studies the problem for bipartite graphs. We obtain some bounds of λ3 for bipartite graphs and its subclasses. Moreover, we provide a best possible condition for a tree T such that λ3（T） attains the minimum value.     

L(d1, d2,..., dt)-Number λ(Cn; d1, d2,...,dt) of Cycles

An L(d1,d2,...,dt)-labeling of a graph G is a function f from its vertex set V(G) to the set {0, 1,..., k} for some positive integer k such that {f(x) - f(y)| ≥ di, if the distance between vertices x and y in G is equal to i for i = 1,2,...,t. The L(d1,d2,...,dt)-number λ(G;d1,d2,... ,dt) of G is the smallest integer number k such that G has an L(d1,d2,... ,dt)labeling with max{f(x)|x ∈ V(G)} = k. In this paper, we obtain the exact values for λ(Cn; 2, 2,1) and λ(Cn; 3, 2, 1), and present lower and upper bounds for λ(Cn; 2,..., 2,1,..., 1)     

L（j,k）-number of Direct Product of Path and Cycle

For positive numbers j and k, an L(j,k)-labeling f of G is an assignment of numbers to vertices of G such that |f(u)-f(v)|≥j if uv∈E(G), and |f(u)-f(v)|≥k if d(u,v)=2. Then the span of f is the difference between the maximum and the minimum numbers assigned by f. The L(j,k)-number of G, denoted by λj,k(G), is the minimum span over all L(j,k)-labelings of G. In this paper, we give some results about the L(j,k)-number of the direct product of a path and a cycle for j≤k.     

关于H-cordial图和semi-H-cordial图的若干结论（英文）

I. Cahit calls a graph H-cordial if it is possible to label the edges with the numbers from the set{1,-1} in such a way that, for some k, at each vertex v the sum of the labels on the edges incident with v is either k or-k and the inequalities |v(k)-v(-k)| ≤ 1 and|e(1)-e(-1)| ≤ 1 are also satisfied. A graph G is called to be semi-H-cordial, if there exists a labeling f, such that for each vertex v, |f(v)| ≤ 1, and the inequalities |e_f(1)-e_f(-1)| ≤ 1 and |vf(1)-vf(-1)| ≤ 1 are also satisfied. An odd-degree(even-degree) graph is a graph that all of the vertex is odd(even) vertex. Three conclusions were proved:(1) An H-cordial graph G is either odd-degree graph or even-degree graph;(2) If G is an odd-degree graph, then G is H-cordial if and only if |E(G)| is even;(3) A graph G is semi-H-cordial if and only if |E(G)| is even and G has no Euler component with odd edges.     

On the adjacent-vertex-strongly-distinguishing total coloring of graphs

For any vertex u∈V(G), let T_N(U)={u}∪{uv|uv∈E(G), v∈v(G)}∪{v∈v(G)|uv∈E(G)}and let f be a total k-coloring of G. The total-color neighbor of a vertex u of G is the color set C_f(u)={f(x)|x∈TN(U)}. For any two adjacent vertices x and y of V(G)such that C_f(x)≠C_f(y), we refer to f as a k-avsdt-coloring of G("avsdt"is the abbreviation of"adjacent-vertex-strongly- distinguishing total"). The avsdt-coloring number of G, denoted by X_(ast)(G), is the minimal number of colors required for a avsdt-coloring of G. In this paper, the avsdt-coloring numbers on some familiar graphs are studied, such as paths, cycles, complete graphs, complete bipartite graphs and so on. We proveΔ(G) 1≤X_(ast)(G)≤Δ(G) 2 for any tree or unique cycle graph G.     

完全图的Cantesian积的L(2,1)-圆标定

For positive integers j and k with j ≥ k, an L（j, k）-labeling of a graph G is an assignment of nonnegative integers to V（G） such that the difference between labels of adjacent vertices is at least j, and the difference between labels of vertices that are distance two apart is at least k. The span of an L（j, k）-labeling of a graph G is the difference between the maximum and minimum integers it uses. The λj, k-number of G is the minimum span taken over all L（j, k）-labelings of G. An m-（j, k）-circular labeling of a graph G is a function f ： V（G） →{0, 1, 2,..., m - 1} such that ｜f（u） - f（v）｜m ≥ j if u and v are adjacent; and ｜f（u） - f（v）｜m 〉 k ifu and v are at distance two, where ｜x｜m = min{｜xl｜, m-｜x｜}. The minimum integer m such that there exists an m-（j, k）-circular labeling of G is called the σj,k-number of G and is denoted by σj,k（G）. This paper determines the σ2,1-number of the Cartesian product of any three complete graphs.     

Every Graph Embedded on the Surface with Euler Characteristic Number ε =-1 is Acyclically 11-choosable

A proper vertex coloring of a graph G is acyclic if there is no bicolored cycles in G. A graph G is acyclically k-choosable if for any list assignment L = {L(v) : v ∈ V(G)} with |L(v)| ≥ k for each vertex v ∈ V(G), there exists an acyclic proper vertex coloring φ of G such that φ(v) ∈ L(v)for each vertex v ∈ V(G). In this paper, we prove that every graph G embedded on the surface with Euler characteristic number ε =-1 is acyclically 11-choosable.     

双圈连通图的L(2,1)-labelling

给定图G,G的一个L(2,1)-labelling是指一个映射f:V(G)→{0,1,2,…},满足:当dG(u,v)=1时,f(u)-f(v)≥2;当dG(u,v)=2时,f(u)-f(v)≥1.如果G的一个L(2,1)-labelling的像集合中没有元素超过k,则称之为一个k-L(2,1)-labelling.G的L(2,1)-labelling数记作l(G),是指使得G存在k-L(2,1)-labelling的最小整数k.如果G的一个L(2,1)-labelling中的像元素是连续的,则称之为一个no-holeL(2,1)-labelling.本文证明了对每个双圈连通图G,l(G)=△ 1或△ 2.这个工作推广了[1]中的一个结果.此外,我们还给出了双圈连通图的no-hole L(2,1)-labelling的存在性.     

An extremal problem on non-full colorable graphs

For a given graph G of order n, a k-L(2,1)-labelling is defined as a function f:V(G)→{0,1,2,…k} such that |f(u)-f(v)|?2 when d_G(u,v)=1 and |f(u)-f(v)|?1 when d_G(u,v)=2. The L(2,1)-labelling number of G, denoted by λ(G), is the smallest number k such that G has a k-L(2,1)-labelling. The hole index ρ(G) of G is the minimum number of integers not used in a λ(G)-L(2,1)-labelling of G. We say G is full-colorable if ρ(G)=0; otherwise, it will be called non-full colorable. In this paper, we consider the graphs with λ(G)=2m and ρ(G)=m, where m is a positive integer. Our main work generalized a result by Fishburn and Roberts [No-hole L(2,1)-colorings, Discrete Appl. Math. 130 (2003) 513-519].     

Pan-connectedness of graphs with large neighborhood unions

Let G be a simple graph with n vertices. For any v ? V(G){v \in V(G)} , let N(v)={u ? V(G): uv ? E(G)}{N(v)=\{u \in V(G): uv \in E(G)\}} , NC(G) = min{|N(u) èN(v)|: u, v ? V(G){NC(G)= \min \{|N(u) \cup N(v)|: u, v \in V(G)} and uv \not ? E(G)}{uv \not \in E(G)\}} , and NC₂(G) = min{|N(u) èN(v)|: u, v ? V(G){NC_2(G)= \min\{|N(u) \cup N(v)|: u, v \in V(G)} and u and v has distance 2 in E(G)}. Let l ≥ 1 be an integer. A graph G on n ≥ l vertices is [l, n]-pan-connected if for any u, v ? V(G){u, v \in V(G)} , and any integer m with l ≤ m ≤ n, G has a (u, v)-path of length m. In 1998, Wei and Zhu (Graphs Combinatorics 14:263–274, 1998) proved that for a three-connected graph on n ≥ 7 vertices, if NC(G) ≥ n − δ(G) + 1, then G is [6, n]-pan-connected. They conjectured that such graphs should be [5, n]-pan-connected. In this paper, we prove that for a three-connected graph on n ≥ 7 vertices, if NC ₂(G) ≥ n − δ(G) + 1, then G is [5, n]-pan-connected. Consequently, the conjecture of Wei and Zhu is proved as NC ₂(G) ≥ NC(G). Furthermore, we show that the lower bound is best possible and characterize all 2-connected graphs with NC ₂(G) ≥ n − δ(G) + 1 which are not [4, n]-pan-connected.     

On graphs satisfying a local ore-type condition

For an integer i, a graph is called an L_i-graph if, for each triple of vertices u, v, w with d(u, v) = 2 and w (element of) N(u) (intersection) N(v), d(u) + d(v) ≥ | N(u) (union) N(v) (union) N(w)| —i. Asratian and Khachatrian proved that connected L_o-graphs of order at least 3 are hamiltonian, thus improving Ore's Theorem. All K_1,3-free graphs are L₁-graphs, whence recognizing hamiltonian L₁-graphs is an NP-complete problem. The following results about L₁-graphs, unifying known results of Ore-type and known results on K_1,3-free graphs, are obtained. Set K = lcub;G|K_p,p+1 (contained within) G (contained within) K_p V K_p+1 for some ρ ≥ } (v denotes join). If G is a 2-connected L₁-graph, then G is 1-tough unless G (element of) K. Furthermore, if G is as connected L₁-graph of order at least 3 such that |N(u) (intersection) N(v)| ≥ 2 for every pair of vertices u, v with d(u, v) = 2, then G is hamiltonian unless G ϵ K, and every pair of vertices x, y with d(x, y) ≥ 3 is connected by a Hamilton path. This result implies that of Asratian and Khachatrian. Finally, if G is a connected L₁-graph of even order, then G has a perfect matching. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Extremal Problems for Imbalanced Edges

Albertson [2] has introduced the imbalance of an edge e=uv in a graph G as |d_G(u)−d_G(v)|. If for a graph G of order n and size m the minimum imbalance of an edge of G equals d, then our main result states that with equality if and only if G is isomorphic to We also prove best-possible upper bounds on the number of edges uv of a graph G such that |d_G(u)−d_G(v)|≥d for some given d.     

On the Existence of a Long Path Between Specified Vertices in a 2-Connected Graph

 Let G be a 2-connected graph with maximum degree Δ (G)≥d, and let x and y be distinct vertices of G. Let W be a subset of V(G)−{x, y} with cardinality at most d−1. Suppose that max{d _G(u), d _G(v)}≥d for every pair of vertices u and v in V(G)−({x, y}∪W) with d _G(u,v)=2. Then x and y are connected by a path of length at least d−|W|.

A sufficient degree condition for a graph to contain all trees of size <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>

The Erdős-Sós conjecture says that a graph G on n vertices and number of edges e(G) > n(k− 1)/2 contains all trees of size k. In this paper we prove a sufficient condition for a graph to contain every tree of size k formulated in terms of the minimum edge degree ζ(G) of a graph G defined as ζ(G) = min{d(u) + d(v) − 2: uv ∈ E(G)}. More precisely, we show that a connected graph G with maximum degree Δ(G) ≥ k and minimum edge degree ζ(G) ≥ 2k − 4 contains every tree of k edges if d _G (x) + d _G (y) ≥ 2k − 4 for all pairs x, y of nonadjacent neighbors of a vertex u of d _G (u) ≥ k.     

One sufficient condition for Hamiltonian graphs involving distances

In 1990 G. T. Chen proved that if G is a 2-connected graph of order n and 2|N(x) ∪ N(y)| + d(x) + d(y) ≥ 2n − 1 for each pair of nonadjacent vertices x, y ∈ V (G), then G is Hamiltonian. In this paper we prove that if G is a 2-connected graph of order n and 2|N(x) ∪ N(y)| + d(x)+d(y) ≥ 2n−1 for each pair of nonadjacent vertices x, y ∈ V (G) such that d(x, y) = 2, then G is Hamiltonian.     

The connectivity and minimum degree of circuit graphs of matroids

Let G be the circuit graph of any connected matroid M with minimum degree 5（G）. It is proved that its connectivity κ（G） ≥2｜E（M） - B（M）｜ - 2. Therefore 5（G） ≥ 2｜E（M） - B（M）｜ - 2 and this bound is the best possible in some sense.     

A 2-factor with Short Cycles Passing Through Specified Independent Vertices in Graph

For a graph G, we define σ₂(G) := min{d(u) + d(v)|u, v ≠ ∈ E(G), u ≠ v}. Let k ≥ 1 be an integer and G be a graph of order n ≥ 3k. We prove if σ₂(G) ≥ n + k − 1, then for any set of k independent vertices v ₁,...,v _k , G has k vertex-disjoint cycles C ₁,..., C _k of length at most four such that v _i ∈ V(C _i ) for all 1 ≤ i ≤ k. And show if σ₂(G) ≥ n + k − 1, then for any set of k independent vertices v ₁,...,v _k , G has k vertex-disjoint cycles C ₁,..., C _k such that v _i ∈ V(C _i ) for all 1 ≤ i ≤ k, V(C ₁) ∪...∪ V(C _k ) = V(G), and |C _i | ≤ 4 for all 1 ≤ i ≤ k − 1. The condition of degree sum σ₂(G) ≥ n + k − 1 is sharp. Received: December 20, 2006. Final version received: December 12, 2007.     

Spanning k-Trees of n-Connected Graphs

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 _G (u) + deg _G (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.
