The split graph $K_r+\overline {K_s}$ on $r+s$ vertices is denoted by $S_{r,s}$. A non-increasing sequence $\pi =(d_1,d_2,\ldots ,d_n)$ of nonnegative integers is said to be potentially $S_{r,s}$-graphic if there exists a realization of $\pi $ containing $S_{r,s}$ as a subgraph. In this paper, we obtain a Havel-Hakimi type procedure and a simple sufficient condition for $\pi $ to be potentially $S_{r,s}$-graphic. They are extensions of two theorems due to A. R. Rao (The clique number of a graph with given degree sequence, Graph Theory, Proc. Symp., Calcutta 1976, ISI Lect. Notes Series 4 (1979), 251–267 and An Erdős-Gallai type result on the clique number of a realization of a degree sequence, unpublished).
We obtain a sharp upper bound for the spectral radius of a nonnegative matrix. This result is used to present upper bounds for the adjacency spectral radius, the Laplacian spectral radius, the signless Laplacian spectral radius, the distance spectral radius, the distance Laplacian spectral radius, the distance signless Laplacian spectral radius of an undirected graph or a digraph. These results are new or generalize some known results., Lihua You, Yujie Shu, Xiao-Dong Zhang., and Obsahuje seznam literatury
In 1932 Whitney showed that a graph G with order n ≥ 3 is 2-connected if and only if any two vertices of G are connected by at least two internally-disjoint paths. The above result and its proof have been used in some Graph Theory books, such as in Bondy and Murty’s well-known Graph Theory with Applications. In this note we give a much simple proof of Whitney’s Theorem.
Let $G$ be a simple connected graph of order $n$ with degree sequence $(d_1,d_2,\ldots ,d_n)$. Denote $(^\alpha t)_i = \sum \nolimits _{j\colon i \sim j} {d_j^\alpha }$, $(^\alpha m)_i = {(^\alpha t)_i }/{d_i^\alpha }$ and $(^\alpha N)_i = \sum \nolimits _{j\colon i \sim j} {(^\alpha t)_j }$, where $\alpha $ is a real number. Denote by $\lambda _1(G)$ and $\mu _1(G)$ the spectral radius of the adjacency matrix and the Laplacian matrix of $G$, respectively. In this paper, we present some upper and lower bounds of $\lambda _1(G)$ and $\mu _1(G)$ in terms of $(^\alpha t)_i $, $(^\alpha m)_i $ and $(^\alpha N)_i $. Furthermore, we also characterize some extreme graphs which attain these upper bounds. These results theoretically improve and generalize some known results.
Let $G$ be a weighted hypergraph with edges of size at most 2. Bollobás and Scott conjectured that $G$ admits a bipartition such that each vertex class meets edges of total weight at least $(w_1-\Delta_1)/2+2w_2/3$, where $w_i$ is the total weight of edges of size $i$ and $\Delta_1$ is the maximum weight of an edge of size 1. In this paper, for positive integer weighted hypergraph $G$ (i.e., multi-hypergraph), we show that there exists a bipartition of $G$ such that each vertex class meets edges of total weight at least $(w_0-1)/6+(w_1-\Delta_1)/3+2w_2/3$, where $w_0$ is the number of edges of size 1. This generalizes a result of Haslegrave. Based on this result, we show that every graph with $m$ edges, except for $K_2$ and $K_{1,3}$, admits a tripartition such that each vertex class meets at least $\lceil{2m}/5\rceil$ edges, which establishes a special case of a more general conjecture of Bollobás and Scott., Qinghou Zeng, Jianfeng Hou., and Obsahuje bibliografické odkazy
Let $r\ge 3$, $n\ge r$ and $\pi =(d_1,d_2,\ldots ,d_n)$ be a non-increasing sequence of nonnegative integers. If $\pi $ has a realization $G$ with vertex set $V(G)=\{v_1,v_2,\ldots ,v_n\}$ such that $d_G(v_i)=d_i$ for $i=1,2,\ldots , n$ and $v_1v_2\cdots v_rv_1$ is a cycle of length $r$ in $G$, then $\pi $ is said to be potentially $C_r''$-graphic. In this paper, we give a characterization for $\pi $ to be potentially $C_r''$-graphic.
In this paper, we consider self-mappings defined on a metric space endowed with a finite number of graphs. Under certain conditions imposed on the graphs, we establish a new fixed point theorem for such mappings. The obtained result extends, generalizes and improves many existing contributions in the literature including standard fixed point theorems, fixed point theorems on a metric space endowed with a partial order and fixed point theorems for cyclic mappings.
The eccentricity e(v) of a vertex v is the distance from v to a vertex farthest from v, and u is an eccentric vertex for v if its distance from v is d(u, v) = e(v). A vertex of maximum eccentricity in a graph G is called peripheral, and the set of all such vertices is the peripherian, denoted PeriG). We use Cep(G) to denote the set of eccentric vertices of vertices in C(G). A graph G is called an S-graph if Cep(G) = Peri(G). In this paper we characterize S-graphs with diameters less or equal to four, give some constructions of • S-graphs and investigate S-graphs with one central vertex. We also correct and generalize some results of F. Gliviak.
Let $G$ be a finite connected graph with minimum degree $\delta $. The leaf number $L(G)$ of $G$ is defined as the maximum number of leaf vertices contained in a spanning tree of $G$. We prove that if $\delta \ge \frac {1}{2}(L(G)+1)$, then $G$ is 2-connected. Further, we deduce, for graphs of girth greater than 4, that if $\delta \ge \smash {\frac {1}{2}}(L(G)+1)$, then $G$ contains a spanning path. This provides a partial solution to a conjecture of the computer program Graffiti.pc [DeLaVi na and Waller, Spanning trees with many leaves and average distance, Electron. J. Combin. 15 (2008), 1–16]. For $G$ claw-free, we show that if $\delta \ge \frac {1}{2}(L(G)+1)$, then $G$ is Hamiltonian. This again confirms, and even improves, the conjecture of Graffiti.pc for this class of graphs.
For given a graph $H$, a graphic sequence $\pi =(d_1,d_2,\ldots ,d_n)$ is said to be potentially $H$-graphic if there is a realization of $\pi $ containing $H$ as a subgraph. In this paper, we characterize the potentially $(K_5-e)$-positive graphic sequences and give two simple necessary and sufficient conditions for a positive graphic sequence $\pi $ to be potentially $K_5$-graphic, where $K_r$ is a complete graph on $r$ vertices and $K_r-e$ is a graph obtained from $K_r$ by deleting one edge. Moreover, we also give a simple necessary and sufficient condition for a positive graphic sequence $\pi $ to be potentially $K_6$-graphic.
