The cop density of a graph
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the game of Cops and Robber played with infinitely many cops on countable graphs. We give a sufficient condition— the strongly 1-e.c. property—for the cop number to be infinite. The cop density of a finite graph, defined as the ratio of the cop number and the number of vertices, is investigated. In the infinite case, the limits of the cop densities of chains of finite graphs are studied. For a strongly 1-e.c. graph, any real number in [0, 1] may be realized as a cop density of the graph. We prove that if the cop number is infinite, then there is a chain with cop density 1; however, we give an example with cop number 1 and cop density 1. We consider the cop density of finite connected graphs, and prove that for the G(n, p) random graph, almost surely the cop density is around approximately (lnn)/n.

The capture time of a graph
We consider the game of Cops and Robbers played on finite and countably infinite connected graphs. The length of games is considered on cop-win graphs, leading to a new parameter, the capture time of a graph. While the capture time of a cop-win graph on n vertices is bounded above by n−3, half the number of vertices is sufficient for a large class of graphs including chordal graphs. Examples ar...
متن کاملمقایسه شاخصهای پایداری ایستا در زنان سالم، استئوپنیک و استئوپروتیک با استفاده از نوسان مرکز فشار(Center Of Pressure)
Objective: Change of control strategy in osteoporotic people and their focus on the hip strategy, also the occurred postural changes, result in the displacement of center of pressure (COP). This study was carried out to compare the static stability parameters in healthy, osteopenic and osteoporotic women. Methods: Seventy-one volunteer postmenopausal women aged 48-65 years were divided into th...
متن کاملHyperopic Cops and Robbers
We introduce a new variant of the game of Cops and Robbers played on graphs, where the robber is invisible unless outside the neighbor set of a cop. The hyperopic cop number is the corresponding analogue of the cop number, and we investigate bounds and other properties of this parameter. We characterize the cop-win graphs for this variant, along with graphs with the largest possible hyperopic c...
متن کاملA note on vague graphs
In this paper, we introduce the notions of product vague graph, balanced product vague graph, irregularity and total irregularity of any irregular vague graphs and some results are presented. Also, density and balanced irregular vague graphs are discussed and some of their properties are established. Finally we give an application of vague digraphs.
متن کاملOn the minimum order of $k$-cop win graphs
We consider the minimum order graphs with a given cop number k, and we focus especially on the cases k = 2, 3. We prove that the minimum order of a connected graph with cop number 3 is 10, and show that the Petersen graph is the unique isomorphism type of graph with this property. We provide the results of a computational search on the cop number of all graphs up to and including order 10. A re...
