Products of geodesic graphs and the geodetic number of products
نویسندگان
چکیده
Given a connected graph and a vertex x ∈ V (G), the geodesic graph Px(G) has the same vertex set as G with edges uv iff either v is on an x − u geodesic path or u is on an x − v geodesic path. A characterization is given of those graphs all of whose geodesic graphs are complete bipartite. It is also shown that the geodetic number of the Cartesian product of Km,n with itself, where m,n ≥ 4, is equal to the minimum of m, n and eight.

Distinct edge geodetic decomposition in graphs
Let G=(V,E) be a simple connected graph of order p and size q. A decomposition of a graph G is a collection π of edge-disjoint subgraphs G_1,G_2,…,G_n of G such that every edge of G belongs to exactly one G_i,(1≤i ≤n). The decomposition 〖π={G〗_1,G_2,…,G_n} of a connected graph G is said to be a distinct edge geodetic decomposition if g_1 (G_i )≠g_1 (G_j ),(1≤i≠j≤n). The maximum cardinality of π...
متن کاملGeodetic and hull numbers of strong products of graphs
Classic convexity can be extended to graphs in a natural way by considering shortest paths, also called geodesics: a set S of vertices of a graph is convex if it contains all the vertices lying in some geodesic with endpoints in S and the convex hull of a set S of vertices is the minimum convex set containing S. Farber and Jamison [9] characterized the graphs such that every convex set is the c...
متن کاملGeodesic Convexity and Cartesian Products in Graphs
In this work we investigate the behavior of various geodesic convexity parameters with respect to the Cartesian product operation for graphs. First, we show that the convex sets arising from geodesic convexity in a Cartesian product of graphs are exactly the same as the convex sets arising from the usual binary operation ⊕ for making a convexity space out of the Cartesian product of any two con...
متن کاملAlgorithms to Find Linear Geodetic Numbers and Linear Edge Geodetic Numbers in Graphs
-Given two vertices u and v of a connected graph G=(V, E), the closed interval I[u, v] is that set of all vertices lying in some u-v geodesic in G. A subset of V(G) S={v1,v2,v3,....,vk} is a linear geodetic set or sequential geodetic set if each vertex x of G lies on a vi – vi+1 geodesic where 1 ≤ i < k . A linear geodetic set of minimum cardinality in G is called as linear geodetic number lgn(...
متن کاملGeodetic Sets in Graphs
Geodetic sets in graphs are briefly surveyed. After an overview of earlier results, we concentrate on recent studies of the geodetic number and related invariants in graphs. Geodetic sets in Cartesian products of graphs and in median graphs are considered in more detail. Algorithmic issues and relations with several other concepts, arising from various convex and interval structures in graphs, ...
