On the rainbow connection of Cartesian products and their subgraphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rainbow connection number of Cartesian products and their subgraphs are considered. Previously known bounds are compared and non-existence of such bounds for subgraphs of products are discussed. It is shown that the rainbow connection number of an isometric subgraph of a hypercube is bounded above by the rainbow connection number of the hypercube. Isometric subgraphs of hypercubes with the rainbow connection number as small as possible compared to the rainbow connection of the hypercube are constructed. The concept of c-strong rainbow connected coloring is introduced. In particular, it is proved that the so-called Θ-coloring of an isometric subgraph of a hypercube is its unique optimal c-strong rainbow connected coloring.

On the outer independent 2-rainbow domination number of Cartesian products of paths and cycles
Let G be a graph. A 2-rainbow dominating function (or 2-RDF) of G is a function f from V(G) to the set of all subsets of the set {1,2} such that for a vertex v ∈ V (G) with f(v) = ∅, thecondition $bigcup_{uin N_{G}(v)}f(u)={1,2}$ is fulfilled, wher NG(v) is the open neighborhoodof v. The weight of 2-RDF f of G is the value$omega (f):=sum _{vin V(G)}|f(v)|$. The 2-rainbowd...
متن کاملRainbow Connection Number of Graph Power and Graph Products
The minimum number of colors required to color the edges of a graph so that any two distinct vertices are connected by at least one path in which no two edges are colored the same is called its rainbow connection number. This graph parameter was introduced by Chartrand et al. in 2008. The problem has garnered considerable interest and several variants of the initial version have since been intr...
متن کاملOn density of subgraphs of Cartesian products
In this paper, we extend two classical results about the density of subgraphs of hypercubes to subgraphs G of Cartesian products G1 × · · · × Gm of arbitrary connected graphs. Namely, we show that |E(G)| |V (G)| ≤ d2 max{dens(G1), . . . , dens(Gm)}e log |V (G)|, where dens(H) is the maximum ratio |E(H′)| |V (H′)| over all subgraphs H ′ of H. We introduce the notions of VC-dimension VC-dim(G) an...
متن کاملCharacterizing subgraphs of Hamming graphs
Cartesian products of complete graphs are known as Hamming graphs. Using embeddings into Cartesian products of quotient graphs we characterize subgraphs, induced subgraphs, and isometric subgraphs of Hamming graphs. For instance, a graph G is an induced subgraph of a Hamming graph if and only if there exists a labeling of E(G) fulfilling the following two conditions: (i) incident edges receive ...
متن کاملWeak k-reconstruction of Cartesian products
By Ulam’s conjecture every finite graph G can be reconstructed from its deck of vertex deleted subgraphs. The conjecture is still open, but many special cases have been settled. In particular, one can reconstruct Cartesian products. We consider the case of k-vertex deleted subgraphs of Cartesian products, and prove that one can decide whether a graph H is a kvertex deleted subgraph of a Cartesi...
