چکیده

A closed walk in a connected graph G that contains every edge of G exactly once is an Eulerian circuit. A graph is Eulerian if it contains an Eulerian circuit. It is well known that a connected graph G is Eulerian if and only if every vertex of G is even. An Eulerian walk in a connected graph G is a closed walk that contains every edge of G at least once, while an irregular Eulerian walk in G is an Eulerian walk that encounters no two edges of G the same number of times. The minimum length of an irregular Eulerian walk in G is called the Eulerian irregularity of G and is denoted by EI(G). It is known that if G is a nontrivial connected graph of size m, then ( m+1 2 ) ≤ EI(G) ≤ 2 ( m+1 2 ) . A necessary and sufficient condition has been established for all pairs k,m of positive integers for which there is a nontrivial connected graph G of size m with EI(G) = k. A subgraph F in a graph G is an even subgraph of G if every vertex of F is even. We present a formula for the Eulerian irregularity of a graph in terms of the size of certain even subgraph of the graph. Furthermore, Eulerian irregularities are determined for all graphs of cycle rank 2 and all complete bipartite graphs.

The irregularity and total irregularity of Eulerian graphs

For a graph G, the irregularity and total irregularity of G are defined as irr(G)=∑_(uv∈E(G))〖|d_G (u)-d_G (v)|〗 and irr_t (G)=1/2 ∑_(u,v∈V(G))〖|d_G (u)-d_G (v)|〗, respectively, where d_G (u) is the degree of vertex u. In this paper, we characterize all ‎connected Eulerian graphs with the second minimum irregularity, the second and third minimum total irregularity value, respectively.

On Total Edge Irregularity Strength of Staircase Graphs and Related Graphs

Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a connected simple undirected graph with non empty vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). For a positive integer k, by an edge irregular total k-labeling we mean a function f : V(G)UE(G) --> {1,2,...,k} such that for each two edges ab and cd, it follows that f(a)+f(ab)+f(b) is different from f(c)+f(cd)+f(d), i.e. every two edges have distinct weights. The minimum k for which G ...

0n removable cycles in graphs and digraphs

In this paper we define the removable cycle that, if $Im$ is a class of graphs, $Gin Im$, the cycle $C$ in $G$ is called removable if $G-E(C)in Im$. The removable cycles in Eulerian graphs have been studied. We characterize Eulerian graphs which contain two edge-disjoint removable cycles, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for Eulerian graph to have removable cycles h...

The maximal total irregularity of some connected graphs

The total irregularity of a graph G is defined as 〖irr〗_t (G)=1/2 ∑_(u,v∈V(G))▒〖|d_u-d_v |〗, where d_u denotes the degree of a vertex u∈V(G). In this paper by using the Gini index, we obtain the ordering of the total irregularity index for some classes of connected graphs, with the same number of vertices.
