Existence of spanning and dominating trails and circuits
نویسنده
چکیده
Let T be a trail of a graph G. T is a spanning trail (S-trail) if T contains all vertices of G. Tis a dominating trail (D-trail) if every edge of G is incident with a t least one vertex of T. A circuit is a nontrivial closed trail. Sufficient conditions involving lower bounds on the degree-sum of vertices or edges are derived for graphs to have an S-trail, S-circuit, D-trail, or D-circuit. Thereby a result of Brualdi and Shanny and one mentioned by Lesniak-Foster and Williamson are improved.

On dominating and spanning circuits in graphs
An eulerian subgraph of a graph is called a circuit. As shown by Harary and Nash-Williams, the existence of a Hamilton cycle in the line graph L(G) of a graph G is equivalent to the existence of a dominating circuit in G, i.e., a circuit such that every edge of G is incident with a vertex of the circuit. Important progress in the study of the existence of spanning and dominating circuits was ma...
متن کاملNew Bounds on Zagreb Indices
The Zagreb indices are among the oldest and the most famous topological molecular structure-descriptors. The first Zagreb index is equal to the sum of the squares of the degrees of the vertices, and the second Zagreb index is equal to the sum of the products of the degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices of the respective graph. In this paper, we characterize the extremal graphs with maximal, sec...
متن کاملSpanning trails in essentially 4-edge-connected graphs
A connected graphG is essentially 4-edge-connected if for any edge cut X ofGwith |X | < 4, either G − X is connected or at most one component of G − X has edges. In this paper, we introduce a reductionmethod and investigate the existence of spanning trails in essentially 4-edge-connected graphs. As an application, we prove that if G is 4-edge-connected, then for any edge subset X0 ⊆ E(G) with |...
متن کاملDominating sets whose closed stars form spanning trees
For a subset W of vertices of an undirected graph G, let S(W ) be the subgraph consisting of W , all edges incident to at least one vertex in W , and all vertices adjacent to at least one vertex in W . If there exists a W such that S(W ) is a tree containing all the vertices of G, then S(W ) is a spanning star tree of G. These and associated notions are related to connected and/or acyclic domin...
متن کاملIndependent domination in directed graphs
In this paper we initialize the study of independent domination in directed graphs. We show that an independent dominating set of an orientation of a graph is also an independent dominating set of the underlying graph, but that the converse is not true in general. We then prove existence and uniqueness theorems for several classes of digraphs including orientations of complete graphs, paths, tr...
