چکیده

In previous papers, Catlin introduced four functions, denoted S, S, S , and S , between sets of nite graphs. These functions proved to be very useful in establishing properties of several classes of graphs, including supereulerian graphs and graphs with nowhere zero kows for a xed integer k¿ 3. Unfortunately, a subtle error caused several theorems previously published in Catlin (Discrete Math. 160 (1996) 67–80) to be incorrect. In this paper we correct those errors and further explore the relations between these functions, showing that there is a sort of duality between them and that they act as inverses of one another on certain sets of graphs. c © 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Some New Results On the Hosoya Polynomial of Graph Operations

The Wiener index is a graph invariant that has found extensive application in chemistry. In addition to that a generating function, which was called the Wiener polynomial, who’s derivate is a q-analog of the Wiener index was defined. In an article, Sagan, Yeh and Zhang in [The Wiener Polynomial of a graph, Int. J. Quantun Chem., 60 (1996), 959969] attained what graph operations do to the Wiene...

Characteristics of Common Neighborhood Graph under Graph Operations and on Cayley Graphs

Let G(V;E) be a graph. The common neighborhood graph (congraph) of G is a graph with vertex set V , in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they have a common neighbor in G. In this paper, we obtain characteristics of congraphs under graph operations; Graph :::::union:::::, Graph cartesian product, Graph tensor product, and Graph join, and relations between Cayley graphs and its c...

On exponential domination and graph operations

An exponential dominating set of graph $G = (V,E )$ is a subset $Ssubseteq V(G)$ such that $sum_{uin S}(1/2)^{overline{d}{(u,v)-1}}geq 1$ for every vertex $v$ in $V(G)-S$, where $overline{d}(u,v)$ is the distance between vertices $u in S$ and $v  in V(G)-S$ in the graph $G -(S-{u})$. The exponential domination number, $gamma_{e}(G)$, is the smallest cardinality of an exponential dominating set....
