Connectivity of Matching Graph of Hypercube

چکیده

The matching graph M(G) of a graph G has a vertex set of all perfect matchings of G, with two vertices being adjacent whenever the union of the corresponding perfect matchings forms a Hamiltonian cycle. We prove that the matching graph M(Qd) of the d-dimensional hypercube is bipartite and connected for d ≥ 4. This proves Kreweras’ conjecture [2] that the graph Md is connected, where Md is obtained from M(Qd) by contracting all vertices of M(Qd) which correspond to isomorphic perfect matchings.

On the Eccentric Connectivity Index of Unicyclic Graphs

In this paper, we obtain the upper and lower bounds on the eccen- tricity connectivity index of unicyclic graphs with perfect matchings. Also we give some lower bounds on the eccentric connectivity index of unicyclic graphs with given matching numbers.

Perfect Matchings in Edge-Transitive Graphs

We find recursive formulae for the number of perfect matchings in a graph G by splitting G into subgraphs H and Q. We use these formulas to count perfect matching of P hypercube Qn. We also apply our formulas to prove that the number of perfect matching in an edge-transitive graph is , where denotes the number of perfect matchings in G, is the graph constructed from by deleting edges with an en...

On the Szeged and Eccentric connectivity indices of non-commutative graph of finite groups

Let $G$ be a non-abelian group. The non-commuting graph $Gamma_G$ of $G$ is defined as the graph whose vertex set is the non-central elements of $G$ and two vertices are joined if and only if they do not commute.In this paper we study some properties of $Gamma_G$ and introduce $n$-regular $AC$-groups. Also we then obtain a formula for Szeged index of $Gamma_G$ in terms of $n$, $|Z(G)|$ and $|G|...

On Super and Restricted Connectivity of Some Interconnection Networks

The super (resp., edge-) connectivity of a connected graph is the minimum cardinality of a vertex-cut (resp., an edge-cut) whose removal does not isolate a vertex. In this paper, we consider the two parameters for a special class of graphs G(G0, G1; M), proposed by Chen et al [Applied Math. and Computation, 140 (2003), 245-254], obtained from two k-regular k-connected graphs G0 and G1 with the ...

The augmented Zagreb index, vertex connectivity and matching number of graphs

Let $Gamma_{n,kappa}$ be the class of all graphs with $ngeq3$ vertices and $kappageq2$ vertex connectivity. Denote by $Upsilon_{n,beta}$ the family of all connected graphs with $ngeq4$ vertices and matching number $beta$ where $2leqbetaleqlfloorfrac{n}{2}rfloor$. In the classes of graphs $Gamma_{n,kappa}$ and $Upsilon_{n,beta}$, the elements having maximum augmented Zagreb index are determined.
