چکیده

Let k be a natural number. We introduce k-threshold graphs. We show that there exists anO(n) algorithm for the recognition of k-threshold graphs for each natural number k. k-Threshold graphs are characterized by a finite collection of forbidden induced subgraphs. For the case k = 2 we characterize the partitioned 2threshold graphs by forbidden induced subgraphs. We introduce restricted, and special 2-threshold graphs. We characterize both classes by forbidden induced subgraphs. The restricted 2-threshold graphs coincide with the switching class of threshold graphs. This provides a decomposition theorem for the switching class of threshold graphs.

Irreversible k-threshold and majority conversion processes on complete multipartite graphs and graph products

In graph theoretical models of the spread of disease through populations, the spread of opinion through social networks, and the spread of faults through distributed computer networks, vertices are in two states, either black or white, and these states are dynamically updated at discrete time steps according to the rules of the particular conversion process used in the model. This paper conside...

Irreversible 2-conversion set in graphs of bounded degree

An irreversible k-threshold process (also a k-neighbor bootstrap percolation) is a dynamic process on a graph where vertices change color from white to black if they have at least k black neighbors. An irreversible k-conversion set of a graph G is a subset S of vertices of G such that the irreversible k-threshold process starting with S black eventually changes all vertices of G to black. We sh...

On the zero forcing number of some Cayley graphs

‎Let Γa be a graph whose each vertex is colored either white or black‎. ‎If u is a black vertex of Γ such that exactly one neighbor‎ ‎v of u is white‎, ‎then u changes the color of v to black‎. ‎A zero forcing set for a Γ graph is a subset of vertices Zsubseteq V(Γ) such that‎ if initially the vertices in Z are colored black and the remaining vertices are colored white‎, ‎then Z changes the col...

Target set selection problem for honeycomb networks

Let G be a graph with a threshold function θ : V (G) → N such that 1 ≤ θ(v) ≤ dG(v) for every vertex v of G, where dG(v) is the degree of v in G. Suppose we are given a target set S ⊆ V (G). The paper considers the following repetitive process on G. At time step 0 the vertices of S are colored black and the other vertices are colored white. After that, at each time step t > 0, the colors of whi...

The Dependency of Colorimetric Characteristics of Black Fabrics to the Whiteness Attribute of Substrate

In this paper the effect of whiteness attribute of white substrates on blackness property of black coated fabrics is investigated. To this aim, four cotton fabrics with different whiteness and tint attributes are used as white substrates. To prepare a set of black samples, various concentrations of four color pigments, i.e., red, green, blue and yellow, were mixed with the black one and applied...
