Upper bounds on the signed edge domination number of a graph

چکیده
A signed edge domination function (or SEDF) of a simple graph $G=(V,E)$ is $f: E\rightarrow \{1,-1\}$ such that $\sum_{e'\in N[e]}f(e')\ge 1$ holds for each $e\in E$, where $N[e]$ the set edges in $G$ share at least one endpoint with $e$. Let $\gamma_s'(G)$ denote minimum value $f(G)$ among all SEDFs $f$, $f(G)=\sum_{e\in E}f(e)$.In 2005, Xu conjectured $\gamma_s'(G)\le n-1$, $n$ order $G$. This conjecture has been proved two cases $v_{odd}(G)=0$ and $v_{even}(G)=0$, $v_{odd}(G)$ (resp. $v_{even}(G)$) number odd even) vertices article proves Xu's $v_{even}(G)\in \{1, 2\}$. We also show any $n$, n+v_{odd}(G)/2$ n-2+v_{even}(G)$ when $v_{even}(G)>0$, thus (4n-2)/3$. Our result improves best current upper bound \lceil 3n/2\rceil$.

متن کاملBounds on the signed domination number of a graph
Let G = (V , E) be a simple graph on vertex set V and define a function f : V → {−1,1}. The function f is a signed dominating function if for every vertex x ∈ V , the closed neighborhood of x contains more vertices with function value 1 than with −1. The signed domination number of G, γs(G), is the minimum weight of a signed dominating function on G. We give a sharp lower bound on the signed do...

متن کاملSome bounds for the signed edge domination number of a graph
The closed neighbourhood NG[e] of an edge e in a graph G is the set consisting of e and of all edges having a common end vertex with e. Let f be a function on the edges of G into the set {−1, 1}. If e∈NG[x] f(e) ≥ 1 for every x ∈ E(G), then f is called a signed edge domination function of G. The minimum value of ∑ x∈E(G) f(x), taken over every signed edge domination function f of G, is called s...
