Unique square property, equitable partitions, and product-like graphs

چکیده
Equivalence relations on the edge set of a graph G that satisfy restrictive conditions on chordless squares play a crucial role in the theory of Cartesian graph products and graph bundles. We show here that such relations in a natural way induce equitable partitions on the vertex set of G, which in turn give rise to quotient graphs that can have a rich product structure even if G itself is prime.

(Relaxed) Product Structures of Graphs and Hypergraphs
We investigate graphs and hypergraphs that have (relaxed) product structures. In the class of graphs, we discuss in detail RSP-relations, a relaxation of relations fulfilling the square property and therefore of the product relation σ, that identifies the copies of the prime factors of a graph w.r.t. the Cartesian product. For K2,3-free graphs finest RSP-relations can be computed in polynomial-...
متن کاملThe Grid Property and Product-Like Hypergraphs
Equivalence relations on the edge set of a hypergraph that satisfy the “grid-property” (a certain restrictive condition on diagonal-free grids that can be seen as a generalization of the more familiar “square property” on graphs) play a crucial role in the theory of Cartesian hypergraph products. In particular, every convex relation with the grid property induces a factorization w.r.t. the Cart...
متن کاملAlgebraic Combinatorics in Mathematical Chemistry
This paper deals with graph invariants and stabilization procedures. We consider colored graphs and their automorphisms and we discuss the isomorphism problem for such graphs. Various global and local isomorphism invariants are introduced. We study canonical numberings, invariant partitions, stable and equitable partitions and algorithms for stabilizing partitions.
متن کاملPerfect State Transfer, Graph Products and Equitable Partitions
We describe new constructions of graphs which exhibit perfect state transfer on continuous-time quantum walks. Our constructions are based on generalizations of the double cones and variants of the Cartesian graph products (which include the hypercube). We also describe a generalization of the path collapsing argument (which reduces questions about perfect state transfer to simpler weighted mul...
متن کاملEquitable Partitions and Orbit Partitions
We consider two kinds of partition of a graph, namely orbit partitions and equitable partitions. Although an orbit partition is always an equitable partition, the converse is not true in general. We look at some classes of graphs for which the converse is true.
