Spanning trees with leaf distance at least four

For a graph G, we denote by i(G) the number of isolated vertices of G. We prove that for a connected graph G of order at least five, if i(G − S) < |S| for all ∅ = S ⊆ V (G), then G has a spanning tree T such that the distance in T between any two leaves of T is at least four. This result was conjectured by Kaneko in ”Spanning trees with constrains on the leaf degree”, Discrete Applied Math., 11...

Distance defined by spanning trees in graphs

For a spanning tree T in a nontrivial connected graph G and for vertices u and v inG, there exists a unique u−v path u = u0, u1, u2, . . ., uk = v in T . A u− v T -path in G is a u− v path u = v0, v1, . . . , vl = v in G that is a subsequence of the sequence u = u0, u1, u2, . . . , uk = v. A u− v T -path of minimum length is a u− v T -geodesic in G. The T distance dG|T (u, v) from u to v in G i...

Spanning Trees with Many Leaves and Average Distance

In this paper we prove several new lower bounds on the maximum number of leaves of a spanning tree of a graph related to its order, independence number, local independence number, and the maximum order of a bipartite subgraph. These new lower bounds were conjectured by the program Graffiti.pc, a variant of the program Graffiti. We use two of these results to give two partial resolutions of conj...

Approximating Maximum Leaf Spanning Trees in Almost Linear Time

Given an undirected graph nding a spanning tree of the graph with maximum number of leaves is MAX SNP complete In this paper we give a new greedy approximation algorithm for maximum leaf spanning trees The running time O m n m n required by our algorithm where m is the number of edges and n is the number of nodes is almost linear in the size of the graph We also demonstrate that our analysis of...

A Note on Leaf-constrained Spanning Trees in a Graph

An independent set S of a connected graph G is called a frame if G − S is connected. If |S| = k, then S is called a k-frame. We prove the following theorem. Let k ≥ 2 be an integer, G be a connected graph with V (G) = {v1, v2, . . . , vn}, and degG(u) denote the degree of a vertex u. Suppose that for every 3-frame S = {va, vb, vc} such that 1 ≤ a < b < c ≤ n, degG(va) ≤ a, degG(vb) ≤ b − 1 and ...
