The Linear 4-arboricity of Balanced Complete Bipartite Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A linear k-forest is a graph whose components are paths of length at most k. The linear k-arboricity of a graph G, denoted by lak(G), is the least number of linear k-forests needed to decompose G. In this paper, it is obtained that la4(Kn,n) = d5n/8e for n ≡ 0( mod 5).

Balanced Degree-Magic Labelings of Complete Bipartite Graphs under Binary Operations
A graph is called supermagic if there is a labeling of edges where the edges are labeled with consecutive distinct positive integers such that the sum of the labels of all edges incident with any vertex is constant. A graph G is called degree-magic if there is a labeling of the edges by integers 1, 2, ..., |E(G)| such that the sum of the labels of the edges incident with any vertex v is equal t...
متن کاملArboricity and Bipartite Subgraph Listing Algorithms
In graphs of bounded arboricity, the total complexity of all maximal complete bipartite subgraphs is O(n). We describe a linear time algorithm to list such subgraphs. The arboricity bound is necessary: for any constant k and any n there exists an n-vertex graph with O(n) edges and (n/ log n) maximal complete bipartite subgraphs Kk,`. ∗Work supported in part by NSF grant CCR-9258355.
متن کاملThe linear 3-arboricity of Kn, n and Kn
A linear k-forest is a forest whose components are paths of length at most k. The linear k-arboricity of a graph G, denoted by lak(G), is the least number of linear k-forests needed to decompose G. In this paper, we completely determine lak(G) when G is a balanced complete bipartite graph Kn,n or a complete graph Kn, and k = 3. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
متن کاملMETA-HEURISTIC ALGORITHMS FOR MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF CROSSING OF COMPLETE GRAPHS AND COMPLETE BIPARTITE GRAPHS
The minimum crossing number problem is among the oldest and most fundamental problems arising in the area of automatic graph drawing. In this paper, eight population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are utilized to tackle the minimum crossing number problem for two special types of graphs, namely complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. A 2-page book drawing representation is employed for ...
متن کاملDrawing Graphs on Few Circles and Few Spheres
Given a drawing of a graph, its visual complexity is defined as the number of geometrical entities in the drawing, for example, the number of segments in a straight-line drawing or the number of arcs in a circular-arc drawing (in 2D). Recently, Chaplick et al. [4] introduced a different measure for the visual complexity, the affine cover number, which is the minimum number of lines (or planes) ...
