Intersection of Longest Paths in a Graph
In 1966, Gallai asked whether every connected graph has a vertex that is common to all its longest paths. The answer to this question is negative. We prove that the answer is positive for outerplanar graphs. Another related question was raised in 1995 at the British Combinatorial Conference: Do any three longest paths in a connected graph have a vertex in common? We prove that, in a connected g...
متن کاملNonempty intersection of longest paths in series-parallel graphs
In 1966 Gallai asked whether all longest paths in a connected graph have nonempty intersection. This is not true in general and various counterexamples have been found. However, the answer to Gallai’s question is positive for several well-known classes of graphs, as for instance connected outerplanar graphs, connected split graphs, and 2-trees. A graph is series-parallel if it does not contain ...
متن کاملOn Computing Longest Paths in Small Graph Classes
The longest path problem is to find a longest path in a given graph. While the graph classes in which the Hamiltonian path problem can be solved efficiently are widely investigated, few graph classes are known to be solved efficiently for the longest path problem. For a tree, a simple linear time algorithm for the longest path problem is known. We first generalize the algorithm, and show that t...
متن کاملUniform Number of a Graph
We introduce the notion of uniform number of a graph. The uniform number of a connected graph $G$ is the least cardinality of a nonempty subset $M$ of the vertex set of $G$ for which the function $f_M: M^crightarrow mathcal{P}(X) - {emptyset}$ defined as $f_M(x) = {D(x, y): y in M}$ is a constant function, where $D(x, y)$ is the detour distance between $x$ and $y$ in $G$ and $mathcal{P}(X)$ ...
متن کاملA note on longest paths in circular arc graph
As observed by Rautenbach and Sereni [SIAM J. Discrete Math. 28 (2014) 335–341] there is a gap in the proof of the theorem of Balister et al. [Combin. Probab. Comput. 13 (2004) 311–317], which states that the intersection of all longest paths in a connected circular arc graph is nonempty. In this paper we close this gap.
