Edge-coloring Vertex-weightings of Graphs

Let $G=(V(G),E(G))$ be a simple, finite and undirected graph of order $n$. A $k$-vertex weightings of a graph $G$ is a mapping $w: V(G) to {1, ldots, k}$. A $k$-vertex weighting induces an edge labeling $f_w: E(G) to N$ such that $f_w(uv)=w(u)+w(v)$. Such a labeling is called an {it edge-coloring k-vertex weightings} if $f_{w}(e)not= f_{w}(echr(chr(chr('39')39chr('39'))39chr(chr('39')39chr('39'...

Coloring random graphs and maximizing local diversity.

We study a variation of the graph coloring problem on random graphs of finite average connectivity. Given the number of colors, we aim to maximize the number of different colors at neighboring vertices (i.e., one edge distance) of any vertex. Two efficient algorithms, belief propagation and Walksat, are adapted to carry out this task. We present experimental results based on two types of random...

Self-Complementary Vertex-Transitive Graphs

A graph Γ is self-complementary if its complement is isomorphic to the graph itself. An isomorphism that maps Γ to its complement Γ is called a complementing isomorphism. The majority of this dissertation is intended to present my research results on the study of self-complementary vertex-transitive graphs. I will provide an introductory mini-course for the backgrounds, and then discuss four pr...

Homogeneously almost self-complementary graphs

A graph is called almost self-complementary if it is isomorphic to the graph obtained from its complement by removing a 1-factor. In this paper, we study a special class of vertex-transitive almost self-complementary graphs called homogeneously almost selfcomplementary. These graphs occur as factors of symmetric index-2 homogeneous factorizations of the “cocktail party graphs” K2n − nK2. We con...
