چکیده

An odd neighborhood transversal of a graph is a set of its vertices that intersects the set of neighbors of each of its vertices in an odd number of elements. In the case of grid graphs this odd number will be either one or three. We characterize those grid graphs that have odd neighborhood transversals.

Further results on odd mean labeling of some subdivision graphs

Let G(V,E) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. A graph G is said to have an odd mean labeling if there exists a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2,...,2q - 1} satisfying f is 1 - 1 and the induced map f* : E(G) → {1, 3, 5,...,2q - 1} defined by f*(uv) = (f(u) + f(v))/2 if f(u) + f(v) is evenf*(uv) = (f(u) + f(v) + 1)/2 if f(u) + f(v) is odd is a bijection. A graph that admits an odd mean labelin...

Minimum connected transversals in graphs: New hardness results and tractable cases using the price of connectivity

We perform a systematic study in the computational complexity of the connected variant of three related transversal problems: Vertex Cover, Feedback Vertex Set, and Odd Cycle Transversal. Just like their original counterparts, these variants are NP-complete for general graphs. A graph G is H-free for some graph H if G contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to H . It is known that Connected Ver...

Odd Cycle Transversals and Independent Sets in Fullerene Graphs

A fullerene graph is a cubic bridgeless plane graph with all faces of size 5 and 6. We show that every fullerene graph on n vertices can be made bipartite by deleting at most √ 12n/5 edges, and has an independent set with at least n/2 − √ 3n/5 vertices. Both bounds are sharp, and we characterise the extremal graphs. This proves conjectures of Došlić and Vukičević, and of Daugherty. We deduce tw...

Bounded transversals in multipartite graphs

Transversals in r-partite graphs with various properties are known to have many applications in graph theory and theoretical computer science. We investigate f -bounded transversals (or f -BT), that is, transversals whose connected components have order at most f . In some sense we search for the the sparsest f -BT-free graphs. We obtain estimates on the smallest maximum degree that 3-partite a...

Blockers and transversals

Given G = (V,E) an undirected graph with matching number ν(G), we define d-blockers as subsets of edges B such that ν(G′ = (V,E \B)) ≤ ν(G)−d. We define d-transversals T as subsets of edges such that every maximum matchingM has |M ∩T | ≥ d. We explore connections between d-blockers and d-transversals. Special classes of graphs are examined which include complete graphs, regular bipartite graphs...
