Thickness-two graphs part one: New nine-critical graphs, permuted layer graphs, and Catlin's graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this paper is to offer new insight and tools toward the pursuit of the largest chromatic number in the class of thickness-two graphs. At present, the highest chromatic number known for a thickness-two graph is 9, and there is only one known color-critical 1 such graph. We introduce 40 small 9-critical thickness-two graphs, and then use a new construction, the permuted layer graphs, together with a construction of Hajós to create an infinite family of 9-critical thickness-two graphs. Finally, a non-trivial infinite subfamily of Catlin's graphs, with directly computable chromatic numbers, is shown to have thickness two.

The spectrum of the hyper-star graphs and their line graphs
Let n 1 be an integer. The hypercube Qn is the graph whose vertex set isf0;1gn, where two n-tuples are adjacent if they differ in precisely one coordinate. This graph has many applications in Computer sciences and other area of sciences. Inthe graph Qn, the layer Lk is the set of vertices with exactly k 1’s, namely, vertices ofweight k, 1 k n. The hyper-star graph B(n;k) is...
متن کاملON NEW CLASSES OF MULTICONE GRAPHS DETERMINED BY THEIR SPECTRUMS
A multicone graph is defined to be join of a clique and a regular graph. A graph $ G $ is cospectral with graph $ H $ if their adjacency matrices have the same eigenvalues. A graph $ G $ is said to be determined by its spectrum or DS for short, if for any graph $ H $ with $ Spec(G)=Spec(H)$, we conclude that $ G $ is isomorphic to $ H $. In this paper, we present new classes of multicone graphs...
متن کاملOn the Graphs Related to Green Relations of Finite Semigroups
In this paper we develop an analog of the notion of the con- jugacy graph of nite groups for the nite semigroups by considering the Green relations of a nite semigroup. More precisely, by de ning the new graphs $Gamma_{L}(S)$, $Gamma_{H}(S)$, $Gamma_{J}(S)$ and $Gamma_{D}(S)$ (we name them the Green graphs) related to the Green relations L R J H and D of a nite semigroup S , we first atte...
متن کاملSpectra of Some New Graph Operations and Some New Class of Integral Graphs
In this paper, we define duplication corona, duplication neighborhood corona and duplication edge corona of two graphs. We compute their adjacency spectrum, Laplacian spectrum and signless Laplacian. As an application, our results enable us to construct infinitely many pairs of cospectral graphs and also integral graphs.
متن کاملOn zero-divisor graphs of quotient rings and complemented zero-divisor graphs
For an arbitrary ring $R$, the zero-divisor graph of $R$, denoted by $Gamma (R)$, is an undirected simple graph that its vertices are all nonzero zero-divisors of $R$ in which any two vertices $x$ and $y$ are adjacent if and only if either $xy=0$ or $yx=0$. It is well-known that for any commutative ring $R$, $Gamma (R) cong Gamma (T(R))$ where $T(R)$ is the (total) quotient ring of $R$. In this...
