چکیده

For any two graphs F and G, let hom(F,G) denote the number of homomorphisms F → G, that is, adjacency preserving maps V (F ) → V (G) (graphs may have loops but no multiple edges).

Contractors and connectors of graph algebras

We study generalizations of the “contraction-deletion” relation of the Tutte polynomial, and other similar simple operations, to other graph parameters. The question can be set in the framework of graph algebras introduced by Freedman, Lovász and Schrijver in [2], and it relates to their behavior under basic graph operations like contraction and subdivision. Graph algebras were introduced in [2...

On maximal finite antichains in the homomorphism order of directed graphs

We show that the pairs {T, DT } where T is a tree and DT its dual are the only maximal antichains of size 2 in the category of directed graphs endowed with its natural homomorphism ordering.

Integer Functions on the Cycle Space and Edges of a Graph

A directed graph has a natural Z-module homomorphism from the underlying graph’s cycle space to Z where the image of an oriented cycle is the number of forward edges minus the number of backward edges. Such a homomorphism preserves the parity of the length of a cycle and the image of a cycle is bounded by the length of that cycle. Pretzel and Youngs [1] showed that any Z-module homomorphism of ...

The oriented chromatic number of some grids

We define some infinite subfamily of hexagonal grids with the oriented chromatic number 5. We present an algorithm for oriented colouring of some hexagonal planar oriented grids. The algorithm uses BFS spanning tree of a subgraph of the dual graph of the grid and a homomorphism to some tournament of order 6. In general the difference between the number of colours given by the algorithm and the ...
