2-Vertex Connectivity in Directed Graphs

چکیده
We complement our study of 2-connectivity in directed graphs [7], by considering the computation of the following 2-vertex-connectivity relations: We say that two vertices v and w are 2-vertex-connected if there are two internally vertex-disjoint paths from v to w and two internally vertex-disjoint paths from w to v. We also say that v and w are vertex-resilient if the removal of any vertex different from v and w leaves v and w in the same strongly connected component. We show how to compute the above relations in linear time so that we can report in constant time if two vertices are 2-vertex-connected or if they are vertex-resilient. We also show how to compute in linear time a sparse certificate for these relations, i.e., a subgraph of the input graph that has O(n) edges and maintains the same 2-vertex-connectivity and vertex-resilience relations as the input graph, where n is the number of vertices.

The augmented Zagreb index, vertex connectivity and matching number of graphs
Let $Gamma_{n,kappa}$ be the class of all graphs with $ngeq3$ vertices and $kappageq2$ vertex connectivity. Denote by $Upsilon_{n,beta}$ the family of all connected graphs with $ngeq4$ vertices and matching number $beta$ where $2leqbetaleqlfloorfrac{n}{2}rfloor$. In the classes of graphs $Gamma_{n,kappa}$ and $Upsilon_{n,beta}$, the elements having maximum augmented Zagreb index are determined.
متن کاملDirected prime graph of non-commutative ring
Prime graph of a ring R is a graph whose vertex set is the whole set R any any two elements $x$ and $y$ of $R$ are adjacent in the graph if and only if $xRy = 0$ or $yRx = 0$. Prime graph of a ring is denoted by $PG(R)$. Directed prime graphs for non-commutative rings and connectivity in the graph are studied in the present paper. The diameter and girth of this graph are also studied in the pa...
متن کاملCentric connectivity index by shell matrices
Relative centricity RC values of vertices/atoms are calculated within the Distance Detour and Cluj-Distance criteria on their corresponding Shell transforms. The vertex RC distribution in a molecular graph gives atom equivalence classes, useful in interpretation of NMR spectra. Timed by vertex valences, RC provides a new index, called Centric Connectivity CC, which can be useful in the topologi...
متن کاملEccentric Connectivity Index of Some Dendrimer Graphs
The eccentricity connectivity index of a molecular graph G is defined as (G) = aV(G) deg(a)ε(a), where ε(a) is defined as the length of a maximal path connecting a to other vertices of G and deg(a) is degree of vertex a. Here, we compute this topological index for some infinite classes of dendrimer graphs.
متن کاملFaster Algorithms for Computing Maximal 2-Connected Subgraphs in Sparse Directed Graphs
Connectivity related concepts are of fundamental interest in graph theory. The area has received extensive attention over four decades, but many problems remain unsolved, especially for directed graphs. A directed graph is 2-edge-connected (resp., 2-vertex-connected) if the removal of any edge (resp., vertex) leaves the graph strongly connected. In this paper we present improved algorithms for ...
