Nordhaus-Gaddum-type Theorems for decompositions into many parts
نویسندگان
چکیده
A k-decomposition (G1, . . . , Gk) of a graph G is a partition of its edge set to form k spanning subgraphs G1, . . . , Gk. The classical theorem of Nordhaus and Gaddum bounds χ(G1) + χ(G2) and χ(G1)χ(G2) over all 2-decompositions of Kn. For a graph parameter p, let p(k;G) denote the maximum of ∑k i=1 p(Gi) over all k-decompositions of the graph G. The clique number ω, chromatic number χ, list chromatic number χ`, and Szekeres–Wilf number σ satisfy ω(2;Kn) = χ(2;Kn) = χ`(2;Kn) = σ(2;Kn) = n + 1. We obtain lower and upper bounds for ω(k;Kn), χ(k;Kn), χ`(k;Kn), and σ(k;Kn). The last three behave differently for large k. We also obtain lower and upper bounds for the maximum of χ(k;G) over all graphs embedded on a given surface.

متن کاملNordhaus-Gaddum Problems for Colin de Verdière Type Parameters, Variants of Tree-width, and Related Parameters
A Nordhaus-Gaddum problem for a graph parameter is to determine a tight lower or upper bound for the sum or product of the parameter evaluated on a graph and on its complement. This article surveys Nordhaus-Gaddum results for the Colin de Verdière type parameters μ,ν , and ξ ; tree-width and its variants largeur d’arborescence, path-width, and proper path-width; and minor monotone ceilings of v...
متن کاملNordhaus-gaddum-type Relations for the Energy and Laplacian Energy of Graphs
A b s t r a c t. Let G denote the complement of the graph G . If I(G) is some invariant of G , then relations (identities, bounds, and similar) pertaining to I(G) + I(G) are said to be of Nordhaus-Gaddum type. A number of lower and upper bounds of Nordhaus-Gaddum type are obtained for the energy and Laplacian energy of graphs. Also some new relations for the Laplacian graph energy are established.
متن کاملNordhaus-Gaddum Type Results for Total Domination
A Nordhaus-Gaddum-type result is a (tight) lower or upper bound on the sum or product of a parameter of a graph and its complement. In this paper we study Nordhaus-Gaddum-type results for total domination. We examine the sum and product of γt(G1) and γt(G2) where G1 ⊕G2 = K(s, s), and γt is the total domination number. We show that the maximum value of the sum of the total domination numbers of...
