Revolutionaries and spies on trees and unicyclic graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A team of r revolutionaries and a team of s spies play a game on a graph G. Initially, revolutionaries and then spies take positions at vertices. In each subsequent round, each revolutionary may move to an adjacent vertex or not move, and then each spy has the same option. The revolutionaries want to hold an unguarded meeting, meaning m revolutionaries at some vertex having no spy at the end of a round. To prevent this forever, trivially at least min{|V (G)|, ⌊r/m⌋} spies are needed. When G is a tree, this many spies suffices. When G is a unicyclic graph, min{|V (G)|, ⌈r/m⌉} spies suffice, and we characterize those unicyclic graphs where ⌊r/m⌋ + 1 spies are needed.

The 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 کاملLeap Zagreb indices of trees and unicyclic graphs
By d(v|G) and d_2(v|G) are denoted the number of first and second neighborsof the vertex v of the graph G. The first, second, and third leap Zagreb indicesof G are defined asLM_1(G) = sum_{v in V(G)} d_2(v|G)^2, LM_2(G) = sum_{uv in E(G)} d_2(u|G) d_2(v|G),and LM_3(G) = sum_{v in V(G)} d(v|G) d_2(v|G), respectively. In this paper, we generalizethe results of Naji et al. [Commun. Combin. Optim. ...
متن کاملRevolutionaries and Spies on Random Graphs
Pursuit-evasion games, such as the game of Revolutionaries and Spies, are a simplified model for network security. In the game we consider in this paper, a team of r revolutionaries tries to hold an unguarded meeting consisting of m revolutionaries. A team of s spies wants to prevent this forever. For given r and m, the minimum number of spies required to win on a graph G is the spy number σ(G,...
متن کاملThe Hyper-Zagreb Index of Trees and Unicyclic Graphs
Topological indices are widely used as mathematical tools to analyze different types of graphs emerged in a broad range of applications. The Hyper-Zagreb index (HM) is an important tool because it integrates the first two Zagreb indices. In this paper, we characterize the trees and unicyclic graphs with the first four and first eight greatest HM-value, respectively.
متن کاملOn the Eccentric Connectivity Index of Unicyclic Graphs
In this paper, we obtain the upper and lower bounds on the eccen- tricity connectivity index of unicyclic graphs with perfect matchings. Also we give some lower bounds on the eccentric connectivity index of unicyclic graphs with given matching numbers.
