چکیده

Edwards showed that every graph of size m ≥ 1 has a bipartite subgraph of size at least m/2 + √ m/8 + 1/64− 1/8. We show that every graph of size m ≥ 1 has a bipartition in which the Edwards bound holds, and in addition each vertex class contains at most m/4 + √ m/32 + 1/256 − 1/16 edges. This is exact for complete graphs of odd order, which we show are the only extremal graphs without isolated vertices. We also give results for partitions into more than two classes.

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 ...

Judicious partitions of bounded-degree graphs

We prove results on partitioning graphs G with bounded maximum degree. In particular, we provide optimal bounds for bipartitions V (G) = V1 ∪ V2 in which we minimize max{e(V1), e(V2)}.

On Bandwidth, Cutwidth, and Quotient Graphs

The bandwidth and the cutwidth are fundamental parameters which can give indications on the complexity of many problems described in terms of graphs. In this paper, we present a method for nding general upper bounds for the bandwidth and the cutwidth of a given graph from those of any of its quotient graphs. Moreover, general lower bounds are obtained by using vertex-and edge-bisection notions....

Sharp Upper bounds for Multiplicative Version of Degree Distance and Multiplicative Version of Gutman Index of Some Products of Graphs

In $1994,$ degree distance  of a graph was introduced by Dobrynin, Kochetova and Gutman. And Gutman proposed the Gutman index of a graph in $1994.$ In this paper, we introduce the concepts of  multiplicative version of degree distance and the multiplicative version of Gutman index of a graph. We find the sharp upper bound for the  multiplicative version of degree distance and multiplicative ver...

Judicious partitions of graphs

The problem of finding good lower bounds on the size of the largest bipartite subgraph of a given graph has received a fair amount of attention. In particular, improving a result of Erdős ([10]; see also [11] for related problems), Edwards [9] proved the essentially best possible assertion that every graph with n vertices and m edges has a bipartite subgraph with at least m/2 + (n − 1)/4 edges....
