چکیده

Given a graph F , a graph G is uniquely F -saturated if F is not a subgraph of G and adding any edge of the complement to G completes exactly one copy of F . In this paper we study uniquely Ct-saturated graphs. We prove the following: (1) a graph is uniquely C5-saturated if and only if it is a friendship graph. (2) There are no uniquely C6-saturated graphs or uniquely C7-saturated graphs. (3) For t ≥ 6, there are only finitely many uniquely Ct-saturated graphs (we conjecture that in fact there are none).

Uniquely Kr-Saturated Graphs

A graph G is uniquely Kr-saturated if it contains no clique with r vertices and if for all edges e in the complement, G + e has a unique clique with r vertices. Previously, few examples of uniquely Kr-saturated graphs were known, and little was known about their properties. We search for these graphs by adapting orbital branching, a technique originally developed for symmetric integer linear pr...

Uniquely C 4-Saturated Graphs

For a fixed graph H, a graph G is uniquely H-saturated if G does not contain H, but the addition of any edge from G to G completes exactly one copy of H. Using a combination of algebraic methods and counting arguments, we determine all the uniquely C4-saturated graphs; there are only ten of them.

Solis Graphs and Uniquely Metric Basis Graphs

A set $Wsubset V (G)$ is called a resolving set, if for every two distinct vertices $u, v in V (G)$ there exists $win W$ such that $d(u,w) not = d(v,w)$, where $d(x, y)$ is the distance between the vertices $x$ and $y$. A resolving set for $G$ with minimum cardinality is called a metric basis. A graph with a unique metric basis is called a uniquely dimensional graph. In this paper, we establish...

Isomorph-free generation of 2-connected graphs with applications

Many interesting graph families contain only 2-connected graphs, which have ear decompositions. We develop a technique to generate families of unlabeled 2-connected graphs using ear augmentations and apply this technique to two problems. In the first application, we search for uniquely Kr-saturated graphs and find the list of uniquely K4-saturated graphs on at most 12 vertices, supporting curre...

A note on uniquely pancyclic graphs

In this paper we consider uniquely pancyclic graphs, i.e. n vertex graphs with exactly one cycle of each length from 3 to n. The first result of the paper gives new upper and lower bounds on the number of edges in a uniquely pancyclic graph. Next we report on a computer search for new uniquely pancyclic graphs. We found that there are no new such graphs on n ≤ 59 vertices and that there are no ...
