Distance independence in graphs

چکیده
For a set D of positive integers, we define a vertex set S ⊆ V (G) to be D-independent if u, v ∈ S implies the distance d(u, v) 6∈ D. The D-independence number βD(G) is the maximum cardinality of a D-independent set. In particular, the independence number β(G) = β{1}(G). Along with general results we consider, in particular, the odd-independence number βODD(G) where ODD = {1, 3, 5, . . .}.

On the independence ratio of distance graphs
A distance graph is an undirected graph on the integers where two integers are adjacent if their difference is in a prescribed distance set. The independence ratio of a distance graph G is the maximum density of an independent set in G. Lih, Liu, and Zhu [31] showed that the independence ratio is equal to the inverse of the fractional chromatic number, thus relating the concept to the well stud...
متن کاملRemarks on Distance-Balanced Graphs
Distance-balanced graphs are introduced as graphs in which every edge uv has the following property: the number of vertices closer to u than to v is equal to the number of vertices closer to v than to u. Basic properties of these graphs are obtained. In this paper, we study the conditions under which some graph operations produce a distance-balanced graph.
متن کاملINDEPENDENT SETS OF SOME GRAPHS ASSOCIATED TO COMMUTATIVE RINGS
Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A set $Ssubseteq V$ isindependent set of $G$, if no two vertices of $S$ are adjacent.The independence number $alpha(G)$ is the size of a maximumindependent set in the graph. In this paper we study and characterize the independent sets ofthe zero-divisor graph $Gamma(R)$ and ideal-based zero-divisor graph $Gamma_I(R)$of a commutative ring $R$.
متن کاملOn distance local connectivity and the hamiltonian index
In this paper, the concept of distance local connectivity of a graph is presented. Several results involving the independence number of graphs and degree conditions for distance local connectivity of graphs are proved. The relations between distance local connectivity of graphs and the hamiltonian index of graphs are given.
متن کاملApplication of n-distance balanced graphs in distributing management and finding optimal logistical hubs
Optimization and reduction of costs in management of distribution and transportation of commodity are one of the main goals of many organizations. Using suitable models in supply chain in order to increase efficiency and appropriate location for support centers in logistical networks is highly important for planners and managers. Graph modeling can be used to analyze these problems and many oth...
متن کاملProduct version of reciprocal degree distance of composite graphs
A {it topological index} of a graph is a real number related to the graph; it does not depend on labeling or pictorial representation of a graph. In this paper, we present the upper bounds for the product version of reciprocal degree distance of the tensor product, join and strong product of two graphs in terms of other graph invariants including the Harary index and Zagreb indices.
