  • Distance Labelings of Möbius Ladders
    Distance Labelings of M¨obiusLadders A Major Qualifying Project Report: Submitted to the Faculty of WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by Anthony Rojas Kyle Diaz Date: March 12th; 2013 Approved: Professor Peter R. Christopher Abstract A distance-two labeling of a graph G is a function f : V (G) ! f0; 1; 2; : : : ; kg such that jf(u) − f(v)j ≥ 1 if d(u; v) = 2 and jf(u) − f(v)j ≥ 2 if d(u; v) = 1 for all u; v 2 V (G). A labeling is optimal if k is the least possible integer such that G admits a k-labeling. The λ2;1 number is the largest integer assigned to some vertex in an optimally labeled network. In this paper, we examine the λ2;1 number for M¨obiusladders, a class of graphs originally defined by Richard Guy and Frank Harary [9]. We completely determine the λ2;1 number for M¨obius ladders of even order, and for a specific class of M¨obiusladders with odd order. A general upper bound for λ2;1(G) is known [6], and for the remaining cases of M¨obiusladders we improve this bound from 18 to 7. We also provide some results for radio labelings and extensions to other labelings of these graphs. Executive Summary A graph is a pair G = (V; E), such that V (G) is the vertex set, and E(G) is the set of edges. For simple graphs (i.e., undirected, loopless, and finite), the concept of a radio labeling was first introduced in 1980 by Hale [8].

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A graceful labeling of a graph G with q edges is an injection f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2,...,q} with the property that the resulting edge labels are distinct where the edge incident with the vertices u and v is assigned the label |f (u) − f (v) |. A graph which admits a graceful labeling is called a graceful graph. In this paper, we prove that the series of isomorphic copies of Star graph connected between two Ladders are graceful.

  • Total Coloring Conjecture for Certain Classes of Graphs
    algorithms Article Total Coloring Conjecture for Certain Classes of Graphs R. Vignesh∗ , J. Geetha and K. Somasundaram Department of Mathematics, Amrita School of Engineering, Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, Coimbatore 641112, India; [email protected] (J.G.); [email protected] (K.S.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 30 August 2018; Accepted: 17 October 2018; Published: 19 October 2018 Abstract: A total coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the elements of the graph G such that no two adjacent or incident elements receive the same color. The total chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by c00(G), is the minimum number of colors that suffice in a total coloring. Behzad and Vizing conjectured that for any graph G, D(G) + 1 ≤ c00(G) ≤ D(G) + 2, where D(G) is the maximum degree of G. In this paper, we prove the total coloring conjecture for certain classes of graphs of deleted lexicographic product, line graph and double graph. Keywords: total coloring; lexicographic product; deleted lexicographic product; line graph; double graph MSC: 05C15 1. Introduction All the graphs in this paper are finite, simple and connected. The edge chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by c0(G) , is the smallest number of colors needed to color the edges of G so that no two adjacent edges share the same color. For any graph G, it clear that from the Vizing’s theorem that the edge chromatic number c0(G) ≤ D(G) + 1, where D(G) is the maximum degree of G. If c0(G) = D(G) then G is called class-I graph and if c0(G) = D(G) + 1 then G is called class-II graph.

  • On the Euclidean Dimension of Graphs
    ON THE EUCLIDEAN DIMENSION OF GRAPHS JIN HYUP HONG GREAT NECK SOUTH HIGH SCHOOL, GREAT NECK, NY AND DAN ISMAILESCU MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENT, HOFSTRA UNIVERSITY, NY arXiv:1501.00204v1 [math.MG] 31 Dec 2014 1 Abstract. The Euclidean dimension a graph G is defined to be the smallest integer d such that the vertices of G can be located in Rd in such a way that two vertices are unit distance apart if and only if they are adjacent in G. In this paper we determine the Euclidean dimension for twelve well known graphs. Five of these graphs, D¨urer, Franklin, Desargues, Heawood and Tietze can be embedded in the plane, while the remaining graphs, Chv´atal, Goldner-Harrary, Herschel, Fritsch, Gr¨otzsch, Hoffman and Soifer have Euclidean dimension 3. We also present explicit embeddings for all these graphs. 1. History and previous work The Euclidean dimension of a graph G = (V, E), denoted dim(G) is the least integer n such that there exists a 1 : 1 embedding f : V Rn for which f(u) f(v) = 1 if and only → | − | if uv E. ∈ The concept was introduced by Erd˝os, Harary and Tutte in their seminal paper [7], where the authors determine the Euclidean dimension for several classes of graphs. For instance, they show that dim(K ) = n 1, where K is the complete graph on n n − n vertices. Using a construction due to Lenz, they also compute the Euclidean dimension of Km,n, the complete bipartite graph with m vertices in one class and n vertices in the other.

    ALGORITHMIC TECHNIQUES FOR FINDING RESISTANCE DISTANCES ON STRUCTURED GRAPHS E. J. EVANS AND A. E. FRANCIS Abstract. In this paper we give a survey of methods used to calculate values of resistance distance (also known as effective resistance) in graphs. Resistance distance has played a prominent role not only in circuit theory and chemistry, but also in combinatorial matrix theory and spectral graph theory. Moreover resistance distance has applications ranging from quantifying biological struc- tures, distributed control systems, network analysis, and power grid systems. In this paper we discuss both exact techniques and approximate techniques and for each method discussed we provide an illustrative example of the technique. We also present some open questions and conjectures. 1. Introduction The resistance distance (occasionally referred to as the effective resistance) of a graph is a measure that quantifies its structural properties. Resistance distance has its origin in electrical circuit theory and its first known application to graph structure occurred in the analysis of chemical structure [22]. Resistance distance in graphs has played a prominent role not only in circuit theory and chemistry [18, 22, 30], but also in combinatorial matrix theory [4, 36] and spectral graph theory [2, 10, 13, 29]. A few specific examples of the use of resistance distance are: Spielman and Srivastava [29] have used resistance distance between nodes • of graphs to develop an algorithm to rapidly sparsify a given graph while maintaining spectral properties. Ghosh, Boyd, and Saberi [21] considered the problem of minimizing the • total resistance distance by allocating edge weights on a given graph.

Then, G is said to be r-EKR if no intersecting subfamily of J (r)(G) is larger than the largest star in J (r)(G). In this paper, we prove that if G is a disjoint union of chordal graphs, including at least one singleton, then is -EKR if µ(G) , where G r r ≤ 2 µ(G) is the minimum size of a maximal independent set. We will also prove Erdös-Ko-Rado results for chains of complete graphs, which are a class of chordal graphs obtained by blowing up edges of a path into complete graphs. We also consider similar problems for ladder graphs and trees, and prove preliminary results for these graphs.

Three composite graphs Ladder graph (Ln), Tadpole graph (Tn,k) and Wheel graph (Wn) are graceful graphs, which have different applications in electrical, electronics, wireless communication etc. In this report, we first determine M-polynomial of the Line graph of those three graphs using subdi- vision idea and then compute some degree based indices of the same. 1. Introduction Throughout this article we use molecular graph, a connected graph having no loops and no parallel edges where vertices and edges are correspond to atoms and chemical bonds of the compound. Consider a molecular graph G having V (G) and E(G) as vertex set and edge set respectively. The degree of a vertex v V (G) of 2 a graph G, denoted by dv, is the total number of edges incident with v. Mathematical modelling play significant role to analyze important concepts in chemistry. Mathematical chemistry has excellent tools such as polynomials, func- tions which can predict properties of chemical compounds successfully. Topological indices are functions T : R+ with the property T (G) = T (H) for every graph G isomorphic to H, where! is the class of all graphs. These numerical quantity corresponding toP a molecular graph are effective in correlating the struc- ture with different physicochemicalP properties, chemical reactivity, and biological activities.

The skew chromatic index s(G) is the minimum number of colors required for a skew edge coloring of G. In this paper, an algorithm is determined for skew edge coloring of comb, ladder and Mobius ladder graphs. Also the skew chromatic index of these graphs is solved in polynomial time. AMS Subject Classification: 05C15 Key Words: skew edge coloring; skew chromatic index; comb graph; ladder graph; Mobius ladder graph 1. Introduction Let G = (V, E) be a simple, connected undirected graph with vertex set V and edge set E. An edge coloring of a graph G is an assignment of colors to the edges of G so that no two adjacent edges are assigned the same color. The minimum number of colors required for an edge coloring of G is the edge chromatic number denoted by χ′(G). By Vizing’s theorem, ∆(G) ≤ χ′(G) ≤ ∆(G) + 1, where ∆(G) is the maximum degree of vertices in G.

  • Proper Diameter of 2-Connected Bipartite Graphs
    Proper Diameter of 2-connected Bipartite Graphs Grant Fickes1, Dylan Green2, Jonelle Hook3, Karen McCready4, Kathleen Ryan5, Nathaniel Sauerberg6, and Jill Stifano7 1Department of Mathematics, University of South Carolina 2Department of Mathematics, Dartmouth College 3Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Mount St. Mary's University 4Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, King's College 5Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, DeSales University 6Department of Computer Science, University of Texas{Austin 7Department of Mathematics, Brandeis University July 20, 2021 Abstract A properly colored path is a path in which no two consecutive edges have the same color. A properly connected coloring of a graph is one in which there exists a properly colored path between every pair of vertices. Given a graph G with a properly connected coloring c, the proper distance between any two vertices is the length of a shortest properly colored path between them. Furthermore, the proper diameter of G is the largest proper distance between any pair of vertices in G under the given coloring c. Since there can be many properly connected colorings of G, there are possibly many different values for the proper diameter of G. Here we explore 2-colorings and the associated proper diameter for bipartite graphs, classifying 2-connected bipartite graphs with maximum proper diameter. 1 Introduction The work of Vizing popularized the idea of proper edge-colorings of graphs [8]. Since then some researchers have shifted their focus and studied edge-colorings in which certain sub- graphs, rather than the entire graph, are properly colored [1], [5], [9]. In a similar fashion, we are interested in graphs which have been colored so that between every pair of vertices there exists a properly colored path, that is, a path in which no two consecutive edges have 1 the same color.
