Abstract

A graph G is called r-spanning cyclable if for every r distinct vertices v 1, v 2, . . . , v r of G, there exists r cycles C 1, C 2, . . . , C r in G such that v i is on C i for every i, and every vertex of G is on exactly one cycle C i. In this paper, we consider the 2-spanning cyclable problem for the generalized Petersen graph GP (n, k). We solved the problem for k ≤ 4. In addition, we provide an additional observation for general k as well as stating a conjecture.

Abstract

An additive coloring of a graph G is a labeling of the vertices of G from {1, 2, . . . , k} such that two adjacent vertices have distinct sums of labels on their neighbors. The least integer k for which a graph G has an additive coloring is called the additive coloring number of G, denoted χ Σ (G). Additive coloring is also studied under the names lucky labeling and open distinguishing. In this paper, we improve the current bounds on the additive coloring number for particular classes of graphs by proving results for a list version of additive coloring. We apply the discharging method and the Combinatorial Nullstellensatz to show that every planar graph G with girth at least 5 has χ Σ (G) ≤ 19, and for girth at least 6, 7, and 26, χ Σ (G) is at most 9, 8, and 3, respectively. In 2009, Czerwiński, Grytczuk, and Żelazny conjectured that χ Σ (G) ≤ χ(G), where χ(G) is the chromatic number of G. Our result for the class of non-bipartite planar graphs of girth at least 26 is best possible and affirms the conjecture for this class of graphs.

Abstract

Let H be a graph. A decomposition of H is a set of edge-disjoint subgraphs of H whose union is H. A Hamiltonian path (respectively, cycle) of H is a path (respectively, cycle) that contains every vertex of H exactly once. A k-star, denoted by S k, is a star with k edges. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for decomposing the complete graph into α copies of Hamiltonian path (cycle) and β copies of S 3.

Abstract

The edit distance function of a hereditary property 𝒣 is the asymptotically largest edit distance between a graph of density p ∈ [0, 1] and 𝒣. Denote by P n and C n the path graph of order n and the cycle graph of order n, respectively. Let $C2n*$ be the cycle graph C 2 n with a diagonal, and $C˜n$ be the graph with vertex set {v 0, v 1, . . . , v n −1} and $E(C˜n)=E(Cn)∪{v0v2}$. Marchant and Thomason determined the edit distance function of $C6*$. Peck studied the edit distance function of C n, while Berikkyzy et al. studied the edit distance of powers of cycles. In this paper, by using the methods of Peck and Martin, we determine the edit distance function of $C8*$, $C˜n$ and P n, respectively.
