The degree sequences of self-complementary graphs

Degree sequences of monocore graphs

A k-monocore graph is a graph which has its minimum degree and degeneracy both equal to k. Integer sequences that can be the degree sequence of some k-monocore graph are characterized as follows. A nonincreasing sequence of integers d1, . . . , dn is the degree sequence of some k-monocore graph G, 0 ≤ k ≤ n− 1, if and only if k ≤ di ≤ min {n− 1, k + n− i} and

On the structure of self-complementary graphs

A graph G is self complementary if it is isomorphic to its complement G. In this paper we define bipartite self-complementary graphs, and show how they can be used to understand the structure of self-complementary graphs. For G a selfcomplementary graph of odd order, we describe a decomposition of G into edge disjoint subgraphs, one of which is a bipartite self-complementary graph of order |G|−...

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...
