Packing cycles in undirected group-labelled graphs

چکیده

We prove a refinement of the flat wall theorem Robertson and Seymour to undirected group-labelled graphs (G,γ) where γ assigns each edge an graph G element abelian group Γ. As consequence, we that Γ-nonzero cycles (cycles whose labels sum non-identity Γ) satisfy half-integral Erdős-Pósa property, also recover result Wollan if Γ has no order two, then property. another application, m is odd prime power, length ℓmodm property for all integers ℓ. This partially answers question Dejter Neumann-Lara from 1987 on characterizing such integer pairs (ℓ,m).

Packing Non-Zero A-Paths In Group-Labelled Graphs

Let G=(V,E) be an oriented graph whose edges are labelled by the elements of a group Γ and let A⊆V . An A-path is a path whose ends are both in A. The weight of a path P in G is the sum of the group values on forward oriented arcs minus the sum of the backward oriented arcs in P . (If Γ is not abelian, we sum the labels in their order along the path.) We are interested in the maximum number of ...

Packing Cycles in Graphs

A graph G is called cycle Mengerian (CM) if for any nonnegative integral function w de ned on V (G), the maximum number of cycles in G such that each vertex v is used at most w(v) times is equal to the minimum of Pfw(v) : v 2 Sg, where the minimum is taken over all S V (G) such that deleting S from G results a forest. The purpose of this paper is to characterize all CM graphs in terms of forbid...

Non-zero disjoint cycles in highly connected group labelled graphs

Let G = (V, E) be an oriented graph whose edges are labelled by the elements of a group Γ. A cycle C in G has non-zero weight if for a given orientation of the cycle, when we add the labels of the forward directed edges and subtract the labels of the reverse directed edges, the total is non-zero. We are specifically interested in the maximum number of vertex disjoint non-zero cycles. We prove t...

Packing cycles in graphs, II

A graph G packs if for every induced subgraph H of G, the maximum number of vertexdisjoint cycles in H is equal to the minimum number of vertices whose deletion from H results in a forest. The purpose of this paper is to characterize all graphs that pack.

Packing non-zero A-paths in an undirected model of group labeled graphs

Let Γ be an abelian group, and let γ : E(G) → Γ be be a function assigning values in Γ to every edge of a graph G. For a subgraph H of G, let γ(H) = ∑ e∈E(H) γ(e). In this article, we show that there exists a function f(k) such that the following holds. For a set A of vertices of G, an A-path is a path with both endpoints in A and otherwise disjoint from A. Then either there exist k vertex disj...
