For a sequence d of nonnegative integers, let and be the sets of all graphs and forests with degree sequence d, respectively. Let , , , and where is the domination number and is the independence number of a graph G. Adapting results of Havel and Hakimi, Rao showed in 1979 that can be determined in polynomial time. We establish the existence of realizations with , and with and that have strong structural properties. This leads to an efficient algorithm to determine for every given degree sequence d with bounded entries as well as closed formulas for and . 相似文献

Let G be a planar graph without 4‐cycles and 5‐cycles and with maximum degree . We prove that . For arbitrarily large maximum degree Δ, there exist planar graphs of girth 6 with . Thus, our bound is within 1 of being optimal. Further, our bound comes from coloring greedily in a good order, so the bound immediately extends to online list‐coloring. In addition, we prove bounds for ‐labeling. Specifically, and, more generally, , for positive integers p and q with . Again, these bounds come from a greedy coloring, so they immediately extend to the list‐coloring and online list‐coloring variants of this problem. 相似文献

We give a self‐contained proof that for all positive integers r and all , there is an integer such that for all any regular multigraph of order 2n with multiplicity at most r and degree at least is 1‐factorizable. This generalizes results of Perkovi? and Reed (Discrete Math 165/166 (1997), 567–578) and Plantholt and Tipnis (J London Math Soc 44 (1991), 393–400). 相似文献

A k‐hypertournament H on n vertices () is a pair , where V is the vertex set of H and A is a set of k‐tuples of vertices, called arcs, such that for all subsets with , A contains exactly one permutation of S as an arc. Recently, Li et al. showed that any strong k‐hypertournament H on n vertices, where , is vertex‐pancyclic, an extension of Moon's theorem for tournaments. In this article, we examine several generalizations of regular tournaments and prove the following generalization of Alspach's theorem concerning arc‐pancyclicity: Every Σ‐regular k‐hypertournament on n vertices, where , is arc‐pancyclic. 相似文献

We consider a variant of the Cops and Robber game, in which the robber has unbounded speed, that is, can take any path from her vertex in her turn, but she is not allowed to pass through a vertex occupied by a cop. Let denote the number of cops needed to capture the robber in a graph G in this variant, and let denote the treewidth of G. We show that if G is planar then , and there is a polynomial‐time constant‐factor approximation algorithm for computing . We also determine, up to constant factors, the value of of the Erd?s–Rényi random graph for all admissible values of p, and show that when the average degree is ω(1), is typically asymptotic to the domination number. 相似文献

Let denote the order of a largest full subgraph of G. If is a nonnegative integer, define Erdős, Łuczak, and Spencer proved that for , In this article, we prove the following lower bound: for , Furthermore, we show that this is tight up to a multiplicative constant factor for infinitely many p near the elements of . In contrast, we show that for any n‐vertex graph G, either G or contains a full subgraph on vertices. Finally, we discuss full subgraphs of random and pseudo‐random graphs, and several open problems. 相似文献

Let T be a strong tournament of order with diameter . A vertex w in T is non‐critical if the subtournament is also strong. In the opposite case, it is a critical vertex. In the present article, we show that T has at most critical vertices. This fact and Moon's vertex‐pancyclic theorem imply that for , it contains at least circuits of length . We describe the class of all strong tournaments of order with diameter for which this lower bound is achieved and show that for , the minimum number of circuits of length in a tournament of this class is equal to . In turn, the minimum among all strong tournaments of order with diameter 2 grows exponentially with respect to n for any given . Finally, for , we select a strong tournament of order n with diameter d and conjecture that for any strong tournament T of order n whose diameter does not exceed d, the number of circuits of length ? in T is not less than that in for each possible ?. Moreover, if these two numbers are equal to each other for some given , where , then T is isomorphic to either or its converse . For , this conjecture was proved by Las Vergnas. In the present article, we confirm it for the case . In an Appendix, some problems concerning non‐critical vertices are considered for generalizations of tournaments. 相似文献

The well‐known Ramsey number is the smallest integer n such that every ‐free graph of order n contains an independent set of size u. In other words, it contains a subset of u vertices with no K2. Erd?s and Rogers introduced a more general problem replacing K2 by for . Extending the problem of determining Ramsey numbers they defined the numbers where the minimum is taken over all ‐free graphs G of order n. In this note, we study an analogous function for 3‐uniform hypergraphs. In particular, we show that there are constants c1 and c2 depending only on s such that 相似文献

The Ramsey numbers of cycles imply that every 2‐edge‐colored complete graph on n vertices contains monochromatic cycles of all lengths between 4 and at least . We generalize this result to colors by showing that every k‐edge‐colored complete graph on vertices contains ‐edge‐colored cycles of all lengths between 3 and at least . 相似文献

For a finite set V and a positive integer k with , letting be the set of all k‐subsets of V, the pair is called the complete k‐hypergraph on V, while each k‐subset of V is called an edge. A factorization of the complete k‐hypergraph of index , simply a ‐factorization of order n, is a partition of the edges into s disjoint subsets such that each k‐hypergraph , called a factor, is a spanning subhypergraph of . Such a factorization is homogeneous if there exist two transitive subgroups G and M of the symmetric group of degree n such that G induces a transitive action on the set and M lies in the kernel of this action. In this article, we give a classification of homogeneous factorizations of that admit a group acting transitively on the edges of . It is shown that, for and , there exists an edge‐transitive homogeneous ‐factorization of order n if and only if is one of (32, 3, 5), (32, 3, 31), (33, 4, 5), , and , where and q is a prime power with . 相似文献

For a maximal outerplanar graph G of order n at least three, Matheson and Tarjan showed that G has domination number at most . Similarly, for a maximal outerplanar graph G of order n at least five, Dorfling, Hattingh, and Jonck showed, by a completely different approach, that G has total domination number at most unless G is isomorphic to one of two exceptional graphs of order 12. We present a unified proof of a common generalization of these two results. For every positive integer k, we specify a set of graphs of order at least and at most such that every maximal outerplanar graph G of order n at least that does not belong to has a dominating set D of order at most such that every component of the subgraph of G induced by D has order at least k. 相似文献

We also include general constructions of ‐saturated subgraphs of with few edges for . 相似文献

A vertex dominating path in a graph is a path P such that every vertex outside P has a neighbor on P. In 1988 H. Broersma [5] stated a result implying that every n‐vertex k‐connected graph G such that contains a vertex dominating path. We provide a short, self‐contained proof of this result and further show that every n‐vertex k‐connected graph such that contains a vertex dominating path of length at most , where T is a minimum dominating set of vertices. An immediate corollary of this result is that every such graph contains a vertex dominating path with length bounded above by a logarithmic function of the order of the graph. To derive this result, we prove that every n‐vertex k‐connected graph with contains a path of length at most , through any set of T vertices where . 相似文献

For a graph , let denote the minimum number of pairwise edge disjoint complete bipartite subgraphs of G so that each edge of G belongs to exactly one of them. It is easy to see that for every graph G , , where is the maximum size of an independent set of G . Erd?s conjectured in the 80s that for almost every graph G equality holds, that is that for the random graph , with high probability, that is with probability that tends to 1 as n tends to infinity. The first author showed that this is slightly false, proving that for most values of n tending to infinity and for , with high probability. We prove a stronger bound: there exists an absolute constant so that with high probability. 相似文献

Let denote the hypergraph consisting of two triples on four points. For an integer n, let denote the smallest integer d so that every 3‐uniform hypergraph G of order n with minimum pair‐degree contains vertex‐disjoint copies of . Kühn and Osthus (J Combin Theory, Ser B 96(6) (2006), 767–821) proved that holds for large integers n. Here, we prove the exact counterpart, that for all sufficiently large integers n divisible by 4, A main ingredient in our proof is the recent “absorption technique” of Rödl, Ruciński, and Szemerédi (J.

We prove that a regular tournament with n vertices has more than pairwise arc‐disjoint directed triangles. On the other hand, we construct regular tournaments with a feedback arc set of size less than , so these tournaments do not have pairwise arc‐disjoint triangles. 相似文献
