GUJARAT, India E-mail: [email protected] Received: March 10, 2011 Accepted: March 28, 2011 doi:10.5539/jmr.v3n3p83 Abstract For the graph G1 and G2 the tensor product is denoted by G1(T p)G2 which is the graph with vertex set V(G1(T p)G2) = V(G1) × V(G2) and edge set E(G1(T p)G2) = {(u1, v1), (u2, v2)/u1u2E(G1) and v1v2E(G2)}. The graph Pm(T p)Pn is disconnected for ∀m, n while the graphs Cm(T p)Cn and Cm(T p)Pn are disconnected for both m and n even. We prove that these graphs are product cordial graphs. In addition to this we show that the graphs obtained by joining the connected components of respective graphs by a path of arbitrary length also admit product cordial labeling.

For standard terminology and notations we follow (West, D. B, 2001).

  • Graph Operations and Upper Bounds on Graph Homomorphism Counts
    Graph Operations and Upper Bounds on Graph Homomorphism Counts Luke Sernau March 9, 2017 Abstract We construct a family of countexamples to a conjecture of Galvin [5], which stated that for any n-vertex, d-regular graph G and any graph H (possibly with loops), n n d d hom(G, H) ≤ max hom(Kd,d,H) 2 , hom(Kd+1,H) +1 , n o where hom(G, H) is the number of homomorphisms from G to H. By exploiting properties of the graph tensor product and graph exponentiation, we also find new infinite families of H for which the bound stated above on hom(G, H) holds for all n-vertex, d-regular G. In particular we show that if HWR is the complete looped path on three vertices, also known as the Widom-Rowlinson graph, then n d hom(G, HWR) ≤ hom(Kd+1,HWR) +1 for all n-vertex, d-regular G. This verifies a conjecture of Galvin. arXiv:1510.01833v3 [math.CO] 8 Mar 2017 1 Introduction Graph homomorphisms are an important concept in many areas of graph theory. A graph homomorphism is simply an adjacency-preserving map be- tween a graph G and a graph H. That is, for given graphs G and H, a function φ : V (G) → V (H) is said to be a homomorphism from G to H if for every edge uv ∈ E(G), we have φ(u)φ(v) ∈ E(H) (Here, as throughout, all graphs are simple, meaning without multi-edges, but they are permitted 1 to have loops).

  • Efficient Quantum Circuits for Szegedy Quantum Walks
    Efficient quantum circuits for Szegedy quantum walks T. Loke and J.B. Wang∗ School of Physics, The University of Western Australia, Perth WA 6009, Australia Abstract A major advantage in using Szegedy's formalism over discrete-time and continuous-time quantum walks lies in its ability to define a unitary quantum walk on directed and weighted graphs. In this paper, we present a general scheme to construct efficient quantum circuits for Szegedy quantum walks that correspond to classical Markov chains possessing transforma- tional symmetry in the columns of the transition matrix. In particular, the transformational symmetry criteria do not necessarily depend on the sparsity of the transition matrix, so this scheme can be applied to non-sparse Markov chains. Two classes of Markov chains that are amenable to this construction are cyclic permutations and complete bipartite graphs, for which we provide explicit efficient quantum circuit implementations. We also prove that our scheme can be applied to Markov chains formed by a tensor product. We also briefly discuss the implementation of Markov chains based on weighted interdependent net- works. In addition, we apply this scheme to construct efficient quantum circuits simulating the Szegedy walks used in the quantum Pagerank algorithm for some classes of non-trivial graphs, providing a necessary tool for experimental demonstration of the quantum Pagerank algorithm. 1. Introduction In the last two decades, quantum walks have produced a wide variety of quantum algo- rithms to address different problems, such as the graph isomorphism problem [1{3], ranking nodes in a network [4{6], and quantum simulation [7{11].

  • Expander Graphs
    Basic Facts about Expander Graphs Oded Goldreich Abstract. In this survey we review basic facts regarding expander graphs that are most relevant to the theory of computation. Keywords: Expander Graphs, Random Walks on Graphs. This text has been revised based on [8, Apdx. E.2]. 1 Introduction Expander graphs found numerous applications in the theory of computation, ranging from the design of sorting networks [1] to the proof that undirected connectivity is decidable in determinstic log-space [15]. In this survey we review basic facts regarding expander graphs that are most relevant to the theory of computation. For a wider perspective, the interested reader is referred to [10]. Loosely speaking, expander graphs are regular graphs of small degree that exhibit various properties of cliques.1 In particular, we refer to properties such as the relative sizes of cuts in the graph (i.e., relative to the number of edges), and the rate at which a random walk converges to the uniform distribution (relative to the logarithm of the graph size to the base of its degree). Some technicalities. Typical presentations of expander graphs refer to one of several variants. For example, in some sources, expanders are presented as bi- partite graphs, whereas in others they are presented as ordinary graphs (and are in fact very far from being bipartite). We shall follow the latter convention. Furthermore, at times we implicitly consider an augmentation of these graphs where self-loops are added to each vertex. For simplicity, we also allow parallel edges. We often talk of expander graphs while we actually mean an infinite collection of graphs such that each graph in this collection satisfies the same property (which is informally attributed to the collection).

  • On the Generalized Θ-Number and Related Problems for Highly Symmetric Graphs
    On the generalized #-number and related problems for highly symmetric graphs Lennart Sinjorgo ∗ Renata Sotirov y Abstract This paper is an in-depth analysis of the generalized #-number of a graph. The generalized #-number, #k(G), serves as a bound for both the k-multichromatic number of a graph and the maximum k-colorable subgraph problem. We present various properties of #k(G), such as that the series (#k(G))k is increasing and bounded above by the order of the graph G. We study #k(G) when G is the graph strong, disjunction and Cartesian product of two graphs. We provide closed form expressions for the generalized #-number on several classes of graphs including the Kneser graphs, cycle graphs, strongly regular graphs and orthogonality graphs. Our paper provides bounds on the product and sum of the k-multichromatic number of a graph and its complement graph, as well as lower bounds for the k-multichromatic number on several graph classes including the Hamming and Johnson graphs. Keywords k{multicoloring, k-colorable subgraph problem, generalized #-number, Johnson graphs, Hamming graphs, strongly regular graphs. AMS subject classifications. 90C22, 05C15, 90C35 1 Introduction The k{multicoloring of a graph is to assign k distinct colors to each vertex in the graph such that two adjacent vertices are assigned disjoint sets of colors. The k-multicoloring is also known as k-fold coloring, n-tuple coloring or simply multicoloring. We denote by χk(G) the minimum number of colors needed for a valid k{multicoloring of a graph G, and refer to it as the k-th chromatic number of G or the multichromatic number of G.

  • Strongly Distance-Balanced Graphs and Graph Products1 1 Introduction
    Strongly distance-balanced graphs and graph products1 Kannan Balakrishnana, Manoj Changatb, Iztok Peterinc, Simon Spacapan· d, Primo·z Sparl· e, Ajitha R. Subhamathib aDepartment of Computer Applications, Cochin University of Science and Technology, Cochin-22, India bDepartment of Futures Studies, University of Kerala, Trivandrum-695034, India cUniversity of Maribor, FEECS, Smetanova 17, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia dUniversity of Maribor, FME, Smetanova 17, 2000 Maribor, Slovenia eFaculty of Mathematics and Physics, University of Ljubljana, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia Abstract A graph G is strongly distance-balanced if for every edge uv of G and every i ¸ 0 the number of vertices x with d(x; u) = d(x; v)¡1 = i equals the number of vertices y with d(y; v) = d(y; u) ¡ 1 = i. It is proved that the strong product of graphs is strongly distance-balanced if and only if both factors are strongly distance- balanced. It is also proved that connected components of the direct product of two bipartite graphs are strongly distance-balanced if and only if both factors are strongly distance-balanced. Additionally, a new characterization of distance- balanced graphs and an algorithm of time complexity O(mn) for their recognition, where m is the number of edges and n the number of vertices of the graph in question, are given. 1 Introduction Let G be a simple undirected graph. The distance dG(u; v) between vertices u; v 2 V (G) is the length of a shortest path between u and v in G. (If the graph G is clear from the context, we simply write d(u; v).) For a pair of adjacent vertices a; b 2 V (G) let Wab denote the set of all vertices of G closer to a than to b and let aWb denote the set of all ab a b vertices of G that are at the same distance to a and b.

  • On the Connectivity of the Direct Product of Graphs∗
    AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF COMBINATORICS Volume 41 (2008), Pages 45–56 On the connectivity of the direct product of graphs∗ Boˇstjan Breˇsar University of Maribor, FEECS Smetanova 17, 2000 Maribor Slovenia [email protected] Simon Spacapanˇ University of Maribor, FME Smetanova 17, 2000 Maribor Slovenia [email protected] Abstract In this note we show that the edge-connectivity λ(G × H) of the di- rect product of graphs G and H is bounded below by min{λ(G)|E(H)|, λ(H)|E(G)|,δ(G × H)} and above by min{2λ(G)|E(H)|, 2λ(H)|E(G)|, δ(G × H)} except in some special cases when G is a relatively small bi- partite graph, or both graphs are bipartite. Several upper bounds on the vertex-connectivity of the direct product of graphs are also obtained. 1 Introduction Let G and H be undirected graphs without loops or multiple edges. The direct product G × H of graphs G and H is the graph with the vertex set V (G) × V (H), two vertices (x, y) and (v,w) being adjacent in G × H if and only if xv ∈ E(G) and yw ∈ E(H). The direct product is clearly commutative and associative. Weichsel observed almost half a century ago that the direct product of two graphs G and H is connected if and only if both G and H are connected and not both are bipartite graphs [15]. Many different properties of direct product of graphs have been studied since (unfortunately it appears under various different names, such as cardinal product, tensor product, Kronecker product, categorical product, conjunction etc.).

    When is a Tensor Product of Circulant Graphs Circulant? J.C. George R.S. Sanders Department of Mathematics Department of Mathematics Tougaloo College Buffalo State College Tougaloo, MS 39174 Buffalo, NY 14222 Abstract The tensor product, also called direct, categorical, or Kronecker product of graphs, is one of the least-understood graph products. In this paper we determine partial answers to the question given in the title, thereby significantly extending results of Broere and Hattingh (see [2]). We characterize completely those pairs of complete graphs whose tensor products are circulant. We establish that if the orders of these circulant graphs have greatest common divisor of 2, the product is circulant whenever both graphs are bipartite. We also establish that it is possible for one of the two graphs not to be circulant and the product still to be circulant. Throughout this paper, we will assume graphs to be connected unless oth- erwise stated, and without multiple edges. However, we will permit graphs to have loops at some vertices. arXiv:math/9907119v1 [math.CO] 20 Jul 1999 The tensor product G ⊗ H of two graphs G and H is the graph with vertex set V (G) × V (H) and edge set consisting of those pairs of vertices (g, h), (g′, h′) where g is adjacent to g′ and h is adjacent to h′. This product, also called the Kronecker product, weak product, direct product, categorical product, and conjunction, has been studied for decades. Basic properties of the tensor product may be found, for example, in [11, 6, 9, 10]. Despite this study, many basic properties of the product are unknown or only partly understood.
