چکیده

We give some new bounds for the clique and independence numbers of a graph in terms of its eigenvalues. In particular we prove the following results. Let G be a graph of order n, average degree d, independence number α (G) , and clique number ω (G) . (i) If μn is the smallest eigenvalue of G, then ω (G) ≥ 1 + dn (n− d) (d− μn) . Equality holds if and only if G is a complete regular ω-partite graph. (ii) if μn is the smallest eigenvalue of the complement of G, and 2 ≤ d < n− 1, then α (G) > (

Computing Multiplicative Zagreb Indices with Respect to Chromatic and Clique Numbers

The chromatic number of a graph G, denoted by χ(G), is the minimum number of colors such that G can be colored with these colors in such a way that no two adjacent vertices have the same color. A clique in a graph is a set of mutually adjacent vertices. The maximum size of a clique in a graph G is called the clique number of G. The Turán graph Tn(k) is a complete k-partite graph whose partition...

Spectral bounds for the clique and independence numbers of graphs

We obtain a sequence k,(G) Q k,(G) < *. . < k,(G) of lower bounds for the clique number (size of the largest clique) of a graph G of n vertices. The bounds involve the spectrum of the adjacency matrix of G. The bound k,(G) is explicit and improves earlier known theorems. The bound k,(G) is also explicit, and is shown to improve on the bound from Brooks’ theorem even for regular graphs. The boun...

Lower bounds on the signed (total) $k$-domination number

Let $G$ be a graph with vertex set $V(G)$. For any integer $kge 1$, a signed (total) $k$-dominating functionis a function $f: V(G) rightarrow { -1, 1}$ satisfying $sum_{xin N[v]}f(x)ge k$ ($sum_{xin N(v)}f(x)ge k$)for every $vin V(G)$, where $N(v)$ is the neighborhood of $v$ and $N[v]=N(v)cup{v}$. The minimum of the values$sum_{vin V(G)}f(v)$, taken over all signed (total) $k$-dominating functi...

Graph powers, Delsarte, . . .

The k-th p-power of a graph G is the graph on the vertex set V (G), where two k-tuples are adjacent iff the number of their coordinates which are adjacent in G is not congruent to 0 modulo p. The clique number of powers of G is poly-logarithmic in the number of vertices, thus graphs with small independence numbers in their p-powers do not contain large homogenous subsets. We provide algebraic u...
