The Mycielskian of a Graph 1

چکیده
Let ω(G) and χ(G) be the clique number and the chromatic number of a graph G. Mycielski [11] presented a construction that for any n creates a graph Mn which is triangle-free (ω(G) = 2) with χ(G) > n. The starting point is the complete graph of two vertices (K2). M(n+1) is obtained from Mn through the operation μ(G) called the Mycielskian of a graph G. We first define the operation μ(G) and then show that ω(μ(G)) = ω(G) and χ(μ(G)) = χ(G) + 1. This is done for arbitrary graph G, see also [10]. Then we define the sequence of graphs Mn each of exponential size in n and give their clique and chromatic numbers.

The energy of the Mycielskian of a regular graph
Let G be a finite connected simple graph and μ(G) be the Mycielskian of G. We show that for connected graphs G and H, μ(G) is isomorphic to μ(H) if and only if G is isomorphic to H. Furthermore, we determine the energy of the Mycielskian of a connected regular graph G in terms of the energy E(G) of G, where the energy of G is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of G. The energy of...
متن کاملSimple Graphs as Simplicial Complexes: the Mycielskian of a Graph
Harary [10, p. 7] claims that Veblen [20, p. 2] first suggested to formalize simple graphs using simplicial complexes. We have developed basic terminology for simple graphs as at most 1-dimensional complexes. We formalize this new setting and then reprove Mycielski’s [12] construction resulting in a triangle-free graph with arbitrarily large chromatic number. A different formalization of simila...
متن کاملThe circular chromatic number of the Mycielskian of G
In a search for triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic numbers, Mycielski developed a graph transformation that transforms a graph G into a new graph μ(G), we now call the Mycielskian of G, which has the same clique number as G and whose chromatic number equals χ(G)+1. Chang, Huang, and Zhu [G. J. Chang, L. Huang, & X. Zhu, Discrete Math, to appear] have investigated circular chr...
متن کاملSuper Connectivity and Super Edge Connectivity of the Mycielskian of a Graph
Mycielski introduced a new graph transformation μ(G) for graph G, which is called the Mycielskian of G. A graph G is super connected or simply super-κ (resp. super edge connected or super-λ), if every minimum vertex cut (resp. minimum edge cut) isolates a vertex of G. In this paper, we show that for a connected graph G with |V (G)| ≥ 2, μ(G) is super-κ if and only if δ(G) < 2κ(G), and μ(G) is s...
متن کاملDegree distance index of the Mycielskian and its complement
In this paper, we determine the degree distance of the complement of arbitrary Mycielskian graphs. It is well known that almost all graphs have diameter two. We determine this graphical invariant for the Mycielskian of graphs with diameter two.
