The travelling preacher, projection, and a lower bound for the stability number of a graph
نویسندگان
چکیده
The coflow min–max equality is given a travelling preacher interpretation, and is applied to give a lower bound on the maximum size of a set of vertices, no two of which are joined by an edge. c © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The lower bound for the number of 1-factors in generalized Petersen graphs
In this paper, we investigate the number of 1-factors of a generalized Petersen graph $P(N,k)$ and get a lower bound for the number of 1-factors of $P(N,k)$ as $k$ is odd, which shows that the number of 1-factors of $P(N,k)$ is exponential in this case and confirms a conjecture due to Lovász and Plummer (Ann. New York Acad. Sci. 576(2006), no. 1, 389-398).
متن کاملCommon Neighborhood Graph
Let G be a simple graph with vertex set {v1, v2, … , vn}. The common neighborhood graph of G, denoted by con(G), is a graph with vertex set {v1, v2, … , vn}, in which two vertices are adjacent if and only if they have at least one common neighbor in the graph G. In this paper, we compute the common neighborhood of some composite graphs. In continue, we investigate the relation between hamiltoni...
متن کاملMinimum Tenacity of Toroidal graphs
The tenacity of a graph G, T(G), is dened by T(G) = min{[|S|+τ(G-S)]/[ω(G-S)]}, where the minimum is taken over all vertex cutsets S of G. We dene τ(G - S) to be the number of the vertices in the largest component of the graph G - S, and ω(G - S) be the number of components of G - S.In this paper a lower bound for the tenacity T(G) of a graph with genus γ(G) is obtained using the graph's connec...
متن کاملOn the fixed number of graphs
A set of vertices $S$ of a graph $G$ is called a fixing set of $G$, if only the trivial automorphism of $G$ fixes every vertex in $S$. The fixing number of a graph is the smallest cardinality of a fixing set. The fixed number of a graph $G$ is the minimum $k$, such that every $k$-set of vertices of $G$ is a fixing set of $G$. A graph $G$ is called a $k$-fixed graph, if its fix...
متن کاملMAXIMAL INDEPENDENT SETS FOR THE PIXEL EXPANSION OF GRAPH ACCESS STRUCTURE
Given a graph G, a visual cryptography scheme based on the graph G is a method to distribute a secret image among the vertices of G, the participants, so that a subset of participants can recover the secret image if they contain an edge of G, by stacking their shares, otherwise they can obtain no information regarding the secret image. In this paper we apply maximal independent sets of the grap...
