چکیده

We prove that, for integers n ≥ 2 and k ≥ 2, every tree with n vertices contains an induced subgraph of order at least 2b(n + 2k− 3)/(2k− 1)c with all degrees congruent to 1 modulo k. This extends a result of Radcliffe and Scott, and answers a question of Caro, Krasikov and Roditty. † Supported in part by NSF 9401351

Induced subgraphs of graphs with large chromatic number. XII. Distant stars

The Gyárfás-Sumner conjecture asserts that if H is a tree then every graph with bounded clique number and very large chromatic number contains H as an induced subgraph. This is still open, although it has been proved for a few simple families of trees, including trees of radius 2, some special trees of radius 3, and subdivided stars. These trees all have the property that their vertices of degr...

Every tree contains a large induced subgraph with all degrees odd

Caro, Krasikov and Roditty [3] proved that every tree of order n contains an induced subgraph of order at least n 2 with all degrees odd, and conjectured a better bound. In this note we prove that every tree of order n contains an induced subgraph of order at least 2 n+1 3 with all degrees odd; this bound is best possible for every value of n.

Graphs Having the Local Decomposition Property

Let H be a fixed graph without isolated vertices, and let G be a graph on n vertices. Let 2 ≤ k ≤ n− 1 be an integer. We prove that if k ≤ n− 2 and every k-vertex induced subgraph of G is H-decomposable then G or its complement is either a complete graph or a complete bipartite graph. This also holds for k = n − 1 if all the degrees of the vertices of H have a common factor. On the other hand, ...

Parameterized Complexity of Connected Even/Odd Subgraph Problems

Cai and Yang initiated the systematic parameterized complexity study of the following set of problems around Eulerian graphs. For a given graph G and integer k, the task is to decide if G contains a (connected) subgraph with k vertices (edges) with all vertices of even (odd) degrees. They succeed to establish the parameterized complexity of all cases except two, when we ask about a connected k-...
