By the signless Laplacian of a (simple) graph G we mean the matrix Q(G)=D(G)+A(G), where A(G),D(G) denote respectively the adjacency matrix and the diagonal matrix of vertex degrees of G. For every pair of positive integers n,k, it is proved that if 3?k?n-3, then Hn,k, the graph obtained from the star K1,n-1 by joining a vertex of degree 1 to k+1 other vertices of degree 1, is the unique connected graph that maximizes the largest signless Laplacian eigenvalue over all connected graphs with n vertices and n+k edges.  相似文献

A set W of the vertices of a connected graph G is called a resolving set for G if for every two distinct vertices u, v ∈ V (G) there is a vertex w ∈ W such that d(u, w) ≠ d(v, w). A resolving set of minimum cardinality is called a metric basis for G and the number of vertices in a metric basis is called the metric dimension of G, denoted by dim(G). For a vertex u of G and a subset S of V (G), the distance between u and S is the number min s∈S d(u, s). A k-partition Π = {S 1 , S 2 , . . . , S k } of V (G) is called a resolving partition if for every two distinct vertices u, v ∈ V (G) there is a set S i in Π such that d(u, Si )≠ d(v, Si ). The minimum k for which there is a resolving k-partition of V (G) is called the partition dimension of G, denoted by pd(G). The circulant graph is a graph with vertex set Zn , an additive group of integers modulo n, and two vertices labeled i and j adjacent if and only if i-j (mod n) ∈ C , where CZn has the property that C =-C and 0 ■ C. The circulant graph is denoted by Xn, Δ where Δ = |C|. In this paper, we study the metric dimension of a family of circulant graphs Xn, 3 with connection set C = {1, n/2 , n-1} and prove that dim(Xn, 3 ) is independent of choice of n by showing that dim(Xn, 3 ) ={3 for all n ≡ 0 (mod 4), 4 for all n ≡ 2 (mod 4). We also study the partition dimension of a family of circulant graphs Xn,4 with connection set C = {±1, ±2} and prove that pd(Xn, 4 ) is independent of choice of n and show that pd(X5,4 ) = 5 and pd(Xn,4 ) ={3 for all odd n ≥ 9, 4 for all even n ≥ 6 and n = 7.  相似文献

Let G be a simple undirected n-vertex graph with the characteristic polynomial of its Laplacian matrix . It is well known that for trees the Laplacian coefficient cn-2 is equal to the Wiener index of G, while cn-3 is equal to the modified hyper-Wiener index of graph. Using a result of Zhou and Gutman on the relation between the Laplacian coefficients and the matching numbers in subdivided bipartite graphs, we characterize the trees with k leaves (pendent vertices) which simultaneously minimize all Laplacian coefficients. In particular, this extremal balanced starlike tree S(n,k) minimizes the Wiener index, the modified hyper-Wiener index and recently introduced Laplacian-like energy. We prove that graph S(n,n-1-p) has minimal Laplacian coefficients among n-vertex trees with p vertices of degree two. In conclusion, we illustrate on examples of these spectrum-based invariants that the opposite problem of simultaneously maximizing all Laplacian coefficients has no solution, and pose a conjecture on extremal unicyclic graphs with k leaves.  相似文献

We examine a family of graphs called webs. For integers n ? 2 and k, 1 ? k ? 12n, the web W(n, k) has vertices Vn = {1, …, n} and edges {(i, j): j = i+k, …, i+n ? k, for i?Vn (sums mod n)}. A characterization is given for the vertex packing polyhedron of W(n, k) to contain a facet, none of whose projections is a facet for the lower dimensional vertex packing polyhedra of proper induced subgraphs of W(n, k). Simple necessary and sufficient conditions are given for W(n, k) to contain W(n′, k′) as an induced subgraph; these conditions are used to show that webs satisfy the Strong Perfect Graph Conjecture. Complements of webs are also studied and it is shown that if both a graph and its complement are webs, then the graph is either an odd hole or its complement.  相似文献

In this paper, we study the largest Laplacian spectral radius of the bipartite graphs with n vertices and k cut edges and the bicyclic bipartite graphs, respectively. Identifying the center of a star K1,k and one vertex of degree n of Km,n, we denote by the resulting graph. We show that the graph (1?k?n-4) is the unique graph with the largest Laplacian spectral radius among the bipartite graphs with n vertices and k cut edges, and (n?7) is the unique graph with the largest Laplacian spectral radius among all the bicyclic bipartite graphs.  相似文献

Suppose that for every independent set ${S \subseteq V(G)}In this paper, we give a sufficient condition for a graph to have a degree bounded spanning tree.

In this paper we consider the following problem: Over the class of all simple connected unicyclic graphs on n vertices with girth g (n, g being fixed), which graph minimizes the Laplacian spectral radius? Let U n,g be the lollipop graph obtained by appending a pendent vertex of a path on n ? g (n > g) vertices to a vertex of a cycle on g ? 3 vertices. We prove that the graph U n,g uniquely minimizes the Laplacian spectral radius for n ? 2g ? 1 when g is even and for n ? 3g ? 1 when g is odd.  相似文献

In this paper, we consider the following problem: of all tricyclic graphs or trees of order n with k pendant vertices (n,k fixed), which achieves the maximal signless Laplacian spectral radius?We determine the graph with the largest signless Laplacian spectral radius among all tricyclic graphs with n vertices and k pendant vertices. Then we show that the maximal signless Laplacian spectral radius among all trees of order n with k pendant vertices is obtained uniquely at Tn,k, where Tn,k is a tree obtained from a star K1,k and k paths of almost equal lengths by joining each pendant vertex to one end-vertex of one path. We also discuss the signless Laplacian spectral radius of Tn,k and give some results.  相似文献

On the Laplacian coefficients of bicyclic graphs   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Let G be a graph of order n and let be the characteristic polynomial of its Laplacian matrix. Generalizing the approach in [D. Stevanovi?, A. Ili?, On the Laplacian coefficients of unicyclic graphs, Linear Algebra and its Applications 430 (2009) 2290-2300.] on graph transformations, we show that among all bicyclic graphs of order n, the kth coefficient ck is smallest when the graph is Bn (obtained from C4 by adding one edge connecting two non-adjacent vertices and adding n−4 pendent vertices attached to the vertex of degree 3).  相似文献

Let K c n be an edge-coloured complete graph on n vertices. Let Δmon(Kc n) denote the largest number of edges of the same colour incident with a vertex of Kc n. A properly coloured cycleis a cycle such that no two adjacent edges have the same colour. In 1976, BollobÁs and Erd?s[6] conjectured that every Kc n with Δmon(Kc n)<?n/2?contains a properly coloured Hamiltonian cycle. In this paper, we show that for any ε>0, there exists an integer n0 such that every Kc n with Δmon(Kc n)<(1/2–ε)n and n≥n0 contains a properly coloured Hamiltonian cycle. This improves a result of Alon and Gutin [1]. Hence, the conjecture of BollobÁs and Erd?s is true asymptotically.  相似文献

For a subset W of vertices of an undirected graph G, let S(W) be the subgraph consisting of W, all edges incident to at least one vertex in W, and all vertices adjacent to at least one vertex in W. If S(W) is a tree containing all the vertices of G, then we call it a spanning star tree of G. In this case W forms a weakly connected but strongly acyclic dominating set for G. We prove that for every r ≥ 3, there exist r-regular n-vertex graphs that have spanning star trees, and there exist r-regular n-vertex graphs that do not have spanning star trees, for all n sufficiently large (in terms of r). Furthermore, the problem of determining whether a given regular graph has a spanning star tree is NP-complete.  相似文献

The generalised Johnson graphs are the graphs J(n, k, m) whose vertices are the k subsets of {1, 2, . . . , n}, with two vertices J 1 and J 2 joined by an edge if and only if ${{|J_1 \cap J_2| = m}}$ . A graph is called d-regular if every vertex has exactly d edges incident to it. A d-regular graph on v vertices is called a (v, d, a, c)-strongly regular graph if every pair of adjacent vertices have exactly a common neighbours and every pair of non-adjacent vertices have exactly c common neighbours. The triangular graphs J(n, 2, 1), their complements J(n, 2, 0), the sporadic examples J(10, 3, 1) and J(7, 3, 1), as well as the trivially strongly regular graphs J(2k, k, 0) are examples of strongly regular generalised Johnson graphs. In this paper we prove that there are no other strongly regular generalised Johnson graphs.  相似文献

We say that H has an odd complete minor of order at least l if there are l vertex disjoint trees in H such that every two of them are joined by an edge, and in addition, all the vertices of trees are two-colored in such a way that the edges within the trees are bichromatic, but the edges between trees are monochromatic. Gerards and Seymour conjectured that if a graph has no odd complete minor of order l, then it is (l ? 1)-colorable. This is substantially stronger than the well-known conjecture of Hadwiger. Recently, Geelen et al. proved that there exists a constant c such that any graph with no odd K k -minor is ck√logk-colorable. However, it is not known if there exists an absolute constant c such that any graph with no odd K k -minor is ck-colorable. Motivated by these facts, in this paper, we shall first prove that, for any k, there exists a constant f(k) such that every (496k + 13)-connected graph with at least f(k) vertices has either an odd complete minor of size at least k or a vertex set X of order at most 8k such that G–X is bipartite. Since any bipartite graph does not contain an odd complete minor of size at least three, the second condition is necessary. This is an analogous result of Böhme et al. We also prove that every graph G on n vertices has an odd complete minor of size at least n/2α(G) ? 1, where α(G) denotes the independence number of G. This is an analogous result of Duchet and Meyniel. We obtain a better result for the case α(G)= 3.  相似文献

Let D be a connected oriented graph. A set SV(D) is convex in D if, for every pair of vertices x,yS, the vertex set of every x-y geodesic (x-y shortest dipath) and y-x geodesic in D is contained in S. The convexity numbercon(D) of a nontrivial oriented graph D is the maximum cardinality of a proper convex set of D. Let G be a graph. We define that SC(G)={con(D):D is an orientation of G} and SSC(G)={con(D):D is a strongly connected orientation of G}. In the paper, we show that, for any n?4, 1?a?n-2, and a≠2, there exists a 2-connected graph G with n vertices such that SC(G)=SSC(G)={a,n-1} and there is no connected graph G of order n?3 with SSC(G)={n-1}. Then, we determine that SC(K3)={1,2}, SC(K4)={1,3}, SSC(K3)=SSC(K4)={1}, SC(K5)={1,3,4}, SC(K6)={1,3,4,5}, SSC(K5)=SSC(K6)={1,3}, SC(Kn)={1,3,5,6,…,n-1}, SSC(Kn)={1,3,5,6,…,n-2} for n?7. Finally, we prove that, for any integers n, m, and k with , 1?k?n-1, and k≠2,4, there exists a strongly connected oriented graph D with n vertices, m edges, and convexity number k.  相似文献

The heterochromatic number h c (H) of a non-empty hypergraph H is the smallest integer k such that for every colouring of the vertices of H with exactly k colours, there is a hyperedge of H all of whose vertices have different colours. We denote by ν(H) the number of vertices of H and by τ(H) the size of the smallest set containing at least two vertices of each hyperedge of H. For a complete geometric graph G with n ≥ 3 vertices let H = H(G) be the hypergraph whose vertices are the edges of G and whose hyperedges are the edge sets of plane spanning trees of G. We prove that if G has at most one interior vertex, then h c (H) = ν(H) ? τ(H) + 2. We also show that h c (H) = ν(H) ? τ(H) + 2 whenever H is a hypergraph with vertex set and hyperedge set given by the ground set and the bases of a matroid, respectively.  相似文献

Let G be a k-connected graph of order n. For an independent set c, let d(S) be the number of vertices adjacent to at least one vertex of S and > let i(S) be the number of vertices adjacent to at least |S| vertices of S. We prove that if there exists some s, 1 ≤ s ≤ k, such that ΣxiEX d(X\{Xi}) > s(n?1) – k[s/2] – i(X)[(s?1)/2] holds for every independetn set X ={x0, x1 ?xs} of s + 1 vertices, then G is hamiltonian. Several known results, including Fraisse's sufficient condition for hamiltonian graphs, are dervied as corollaries.  相似文献

A set S of vertices in a graph G is a dominating set of G if every vertex of V(G)?S is adjacent to some vertex in S. The minimum cardinality of a dominating set of G is the domination number of G, denoted as γ(G). Let Pn and Cn denote a path and a cycle, respectively, on n vertices. Let k1(F) and k2(F) denote the number of components of a graph F that are isomorphic to a graph in the family {P3,P4,P5,C5} and {P1,P2}, respectively. Let L be the set of vertices of G of degree more than 2, and let GL be the graph obtained from G by deleting the vertices in L and all edges incident with L. McCuaig and Shepherd [W. McCuaig, B. Shepherd, Domination in graphs with minimum degree two, J. Graph Theory 13 (1989) 749-762] showed that if G is a connected graph of order n≥8 with δ(G)≥2, then γ(G)≤2n/5, while Reed [B.A. Reed, Paths, stars and the number three, Combin. Probab. Comput. 5 (1996) 277-295] showed that if G is a graph of order n with δ(G)≥3, then γ(G)≤3n/8. As an application of Reed’s result, we show that if G is a graph of order n≥14 with δ(G)≥2, then .  相似文献

A local coloring of a graph G is a function c:V(G)→N having the property that for each set SV(G) with 2≤|S|≤3, there exist vertices u,vS such that |c(u)−c(v)|≥mS, where mS is the number of edges of the induced subgraph 〈S〉. The maximum color assigned by a local coloring c to a vertex of G is called the value of c and is denoted by χ?(c). The local chromatic number of G is χ?(G)=min{χ?(c)}, where the minimum is taken over all local colorings c of G. The local coloring of graphs was introduced by Chartrand et al. [G. Chartrand, E. Salehi, P. Zhang, On local colorings of graphs, Congressus Numerantium 163 (2003) 207-221]. In this paper the local coloring of Kneser graphs is studied and the local chromatic number of the Kneser graph K(n,k) for some values of n and k is determined.  相似文献

For integersk≥2, thek-line graph Lk(G) of a graph G is defined as a graph whose vertices correspond to the complete subgraphs onk vertices in G with two distinct vertices adjacent if the corresponding complete subgraphs have 1 common vertices inG. We define iteratedk-line graphs byL k n (G) ?L k (L k n?1 (G), whereL k 0 (G) ?G. In this paper the iterated behavior of thek-line graph operator is investigated. It turns out that the behavior is quite different fork = 2 (the well-known line graph case),k = 3, and k≥4.  相似文献

Let TT k denote the transitive tournament on k vertices. Let TT(h,k) denote the graph obtained from TT k by replacing each vertex with an independent set of size h≥1. The following result is proved: Let c 2=1/2, c 3=5/6 and c k =1−2k−log k for k≥4. For every ∈>0 there exists N=N(∈,h,k) such that for every undirected graph G with n>N vertices and with δ(G)≥c k n, every orientation of G contains vertex disjoint copies of TT(h,k) that cover all but at most ∈n vertices. In the cases k=2 and k=3 the result is asymptotically tight. For k≥4, c k cannot be improved to less than 1−2−0.5k(1+o(1)). This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献
