The Maximum Genus of Graph Bundles

Matchings, Cycle Bases, and the Maximum Genus of a Graph

We study the interplay between the maximum genus of a graph and bases of its cycle space via the corresponding intersection graph. Our main results show that the matching number of the intersection graph is independent of the basis precisely when the graph is upper-embeddable, and completely describe the range of matching numbers when the graph is not upper-embeddable. Particular attention is p...

On the Maximum Number of Dominating Classes in Graph Coloring

In this paper we investigate the dominating- -color number،  of a graph G. That is the maximum number of color classes that are also dominating when G is colored using colors. We show that where is the join of G and H. This result allows us to construct classes of graphs such that and thus provide some information regarding two questions raised in [1] and [2].  

The Maximum Number of Edges in a Strongly Multiplicative Graph

The Heegaard Genus of Bundles over S

This is a largely expository paper exploring theorems of Rubinstein and Lackenby. Rubinstein’s Theorem studies the Heegaard genus of certain hyperbolic 3-manifolds that fiber over S and Lackenby’s Theorem studies the Heegaard genus of certain Haken manifolds. Our target audience are 3-manifold theorists with good understanding of Heegaard splittings but perhaps little experience with minimal su...

dynamic coloring of graph

در این پایان نامه رنگ آمیزی دینامیکی یک گراف را بیان و مطالعه می کنیم. یک –kرنگ آمیزی سره ی رأسی گراف g را رنگ آمیزی دینامیکی می نامند اگر در همسایه های هر رأس v?v(g) با درجه ی حداقل 2، حداقل 2 رنگ متفاوت ظاهر شوند. کوچکترین عدد صحیح k، به طوری که g دارای –kرنگ آمیزی دینامیکی باشد را عدد رنگی دینامیکی g می نامند و آنرا با نماد ?_2 (g) نمایش می دهند. مونت گمری حدس زده است که تمام گراف های منتظم ...
