چکیده

Let G be a graph with order n, and let k be an integer with 1 ≤ k ≤ n/3. In this article, we show that if σ2(G) ≥ n+ k− 1, then for any stable set S ⊆ V (G) with |S| = k, there exists a 2-factor with precisely k cycles C1, . . . , Ck such that |V (Ci) ∩ S| = 1 for all 1 ≤ i ≤ k and at most one of the cycles Ci has length strictly greater than three. The lower bound on σ2 is best possible.

On list vertex 2-arboricity of toroidal graphs without cycles of specific length

The vertex arboricity $rho(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of subsets into which the vertex set $V(G)$ can be partitioned so that each subset induces an acyclic graph‎. ‎A graph $G$ is called list vertex $k$-arborable if for any set $L(v)$ of cardinality at least $k$ at each vertex $v$ of $G$‎, ‎one can choose a color for each $v$ from its list $L(v)$ so that the subgraph induced by ev...

Paired-Domination Game Played in Graphs

In this paper, we continue the study of the domination game in graphs introduced by Bre{v{s}}ar, Klav{v{z}}ar, and Rall. We study the paired-domination version of the domination game which adds a matching dimension to the game. This game is played on a graph $G$ by two players, named Dominator and Pairer. They alternately take turns choosing vertices of $G$ such that each vertex chosen by Domin...

k-Efficient partitions of graphs

A set $S = {u_1,u_2, ldots, u_t}$ of vertices of $G$ is an efficientdominating set if every vertex of $G$ is dominated exactly once by thevertices of $S$. Letting $U_i$ denote the set of vertices dominated by $u_i$%, we note that ${U_1, U_2, ldots U_t}$ is a partition of the vertex setof $G$ and that each $U_i$ contains the vertex $u_i$ and all the vertices atdistance~1 from it in $G$. In this ...

Packing directed cycles through a specified vertex set

A seminal result of Reed et al. [15] in 1996 states that the Erdős-Pósa property holds for directed cycles, i.e. for every integer n there is an integer t such that every directed graph G has n pairwise vertex disjoint directed cycles or contains a set T ⊆ V (G) of at most t vertices such that G−T contains no directed cycle. In this paper, we consider the Erdős-Pósa property for directed cycles...

Claw-free graphs and 2-factors that separate independent vertices

In this article, we prove that a line graph with minimum degree δ ≥ 7 has a spanning subgraph in which every component is a clique of order at least three. This implies that if G is a line graph with δ ≥ 7, then for any independent set S there is a 2-factor of G such that each cycle contains at most one vertex of S. This supports the conjecture that δ ≥ 5 is sufficient to imply the existence of...
