Well-covered circulant graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A graph is well-covered if every independent set can be extended to a maximum independent set. We show that it is co-NP-complete to determine whether an arbitrary graph is well-covered, even when restricted to the family of circulant graphs. Despite the intractability of characterizing the complete set of well-covered circulant graphs, we apply the theory of independence polynomials to show that several families of circulants are indeed well-covered. Since the lexicographic product of two well-covered circulants is also a well-covered circulant, our partial characterization theorems enable us to generate infinitely many families of well-covered circulants previously unknown in the literature. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

On CIS circulants
A circulant is a Cayley graph over a cyclic group. A well-covered graph is a graph in which all maximal stable sets are of the same size α = α(G), or in other words, they are all maximum. A CIS graph is a graph in which every maximal stable set and every maximal clique intersect. It is not difficult to show that a circulant G is a CIS graph if and only if G and its complement G are both well-co...

متن کاملWell-Covered Vector Spaces of Graphs
For any field F, the set of all functions f : V (G) → F whose sum on each maximal independent set is constant forms a vector space over F. In this paper, we show that the dimension can vary depending on the characteristic of the field. We also investigate the dimensions of these vector spaces and show that while some families, such as chordal graphs, have unbounded dimension, other families, su...
متن کاملCounting Spanning Trees and Other Structures in Non-constant-jump Circulant Graphs
Circulant graphs are an extremely well-studied subclass of regular graphs, partially because they model many practical computer network topologies. It has long been known that the number of spanning trees in n-node circulant graphs with constant jumps satisfies a recurrence relation in n. For the non-constant-jump case, i.e., where some jump sizes can be functions of the graph size, only a few ...
متن کاملAutomorphism Groups and Spectra of Circulant Graphs
We explore ways to concisely describe circulant graphs, highly symmetric graphs with properties that are easier to generalize than other graphs. We introduce connection sets as a way to describe isomorphism among some circulant graphs and discuss Ádám’s conjecture that attempts to generalize this idea to all circulant graphs, exploring cases in which the conjecture holds and cases in which it f...
