A characterization of bipartite graphs with independence number half their order
نویسنده
چکیده
Let n(G) and α(G) be the order and the independence number of a graph G, repsectively. If G is bipartite graph, then it is well-known and easy to see that α(G) ≥ n(G) 2 . In this paper we present a constructive characterization of bipartite graphs G for which

The distinguishing chromatic number of bipartite graphs of girth at least six
The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has a vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The distinguishing chromatic number $chi_{D}(G)$ of $G$ is defined similarly, where, in addition, $f$ is assumed to be a proper labeling. We prove that if $G$ is a bipartite graph of girth at least six with the maximum ...
متن کاملA note on the independence number in bipartite graphs
The independence number of a graph G, denoted by α(G), is the maximum cardinality of an independent set of vertices in G. The transversal number of G is the minimum cardinality of a set of vertices that covers all the edges of G. If G is a bipartite graph of order n, then it is easy to see that n 2 ≤ α(G) ≤ n − 1. If G has no edges, then α(G) = n = n(G). Volkmann [Australas. J. Combin. 41 (2008...
متن کاملMETA-HEURISTIC ALGORITHMS FOR MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF CROSSING OF COMPLETE GRAPHS AND COMPLETE BIPARTITE GRAPHS
The minimum crossing number problem is among the oldest and most fundamental problems arising in the area of automatic graph drawing. In this paper, eight population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are utilized to tackle the minimum crossing number problem for two special types of graphs, namely complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. A 2-page book drawing representation is employed for ...
متن کاملCoverings, matchings and paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs
The concepts of covering and matching in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs are introduced and obtained the relationship between them analogous to Gallai’s results in graphs. The notion of paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs is also studied. The strong paired domination number γspr of complete fuzzy graph and complete bipartite fuzzy graph is determined and obtained bounds for the s...
متن کاملOn Tensor Product of Graphs, Girth and Triangles
The purpose of this paper is to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the tensor product of two or more graphs to be connected, bipartite or eulerian. Also, we present a characterization of the duplicate graph $G 1 K_2$ to be unicyclic. Finally, the girth and the formula for computing the number of triangles in the tensor product of graphs are worked out.
