A degree bound on decomposable trees

چکیده
A n-vertex graph is said to be decomposable if for any partition (λ1, . . . , λp) of the integer n, there exists a sequence (V1, . . . , Vp) of connected vertex-disjoint subgraphs with |Vi| = λi. In this paper, we focus on decomposable trees. We show that a decomposable tree has degree at most 4. Moreover, each degree-4 vertex of a decomposable tree is adjacent to a leaf. This leads to a polynomial time algorithm to decide if a multipode (a tree with only one vertex of degree greater than 2) is decomposable. We also exhibit two families of decomposable trees: arbitrary large trees with one vertex of degree 4, and trees with an arbitrary number of degree-3 vertices.

On the shape of decomposable trees
A n-vertex graph is said to be decomposable if for any partition (λ1, . . . , λp) of the integer n, there exists a sequence (V1, . . . , Vp) of connected vertex-disjoint subgraphs with |Vi| = λi. The aim of the paper is to study the homeomorphism classes of decomposable trees. More precisely, we show that homeomorphism classes containing decomposable trees with an arbitrarily large minimal dist...
متن کاملThe second geometric-arithmetic index for trees and unicyclic graphs
Let $G$ be a finite and simple graph with edge set $E(G)$. The second geometric-arithmetic index is defined as $GA_2(G)=sum_{uvin E(G)}frac{2sqrt{n_un_v}}{n_u+n_v}$, where $n_u$ denotes the number of vertices in $G$ lying closer to $u$ than to $v$. In this paper we find a sharp upper bound for $GA_2(T)$, where $T$ is tree, in terms of the order and maximum degree o...
متن کاملOn the decomposable numerical range of operators
Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional complex inner product space. Suppose $H$ is a subgroup of the symmetric group of degree $m$, and $chi :Hrightarrow mathbb{C} $ is an irreducible character (not necessarily linear). Denote by $V_{chi}(H)$ the symmetry class of tensors associated with $H$ and $chi$. Let $K(T)in (V_{chi}(H))$ be the operator induced by $Tin text{End}(V)$. Th...
متن کاملAn Upper Bound on the First Zagreb Index in Trees
In this paper we give sharp upper bounds on the Zagreb indices and characterize all trees achieving equality in these bounds. Also, we give lower bound on first Zagreb coindex of trees.
متن کاملOn the number of decomposable trees
A tree is called k-decomposable if it has a spanning forest whose components are all of size k. Analogously, a tree is called T -decomposable for a fixed tree T if it has a spanning forest whose components are all isomorphic to T . In this paper, we use a generating functions approach to derive exact and asymptotic results on the number of k-decomposable and T -decomposable trees from a so-call...
