چکیده

In this paper we study the following problem of Bollobás and Scott: What is the smallest f(k,m) such that for any integer k ≥ 2 and any graph G with m edges, there is a partition V (G) = ⋃k i=1 Vi such that for 1 ≤ i 6= j ≤ k, e(Vi ∪Vj) ≤ f(k,m)? We show that f(k,m) < 1.6m/k + o(m), and f(k,m) < 1.5m/k + o(m) for k ≥ 23. (While the graph K1,n shows that f(k,m) ≥ m/(k − 1), which is 1.5m/k when k = 3.) We also show that f(4,m) ≤ m/3+ o(m) and f(5,m) ≤ 4m/15+ o(m), providing evidence to a conjecture of Bollobás and Scott. For dense graphs, we improve the bound to 4m/k + o(m), which, for large graphs, answers in the affirmative a related question of Bollobás and Scott. AMS Subject Classification: 05C35, 05D40

k-Efficient partitions of graphs

A set $S = {u_1,u_2, ldots, u_t}$ of vertices of $G$ is an efficientdominating set if every vertex of $G$ is dominated exactly once by thevertices of $S$. Letting $U_i$ denote the set of vertices dominated by $u_i$%, we note that ${U_1, U_2, ldots U_t}$ is a partition of the vertex setof $G$ and that each $U_i$ contains the vertex $u_i$ and all the vertices atdistance~1 from it in $G$. In this ...

New bounds on proximity and remoteness in graphs

The average distance of a vertex $v$ of a connected graph $G$is the arithmetic mean of the distances from $v$ to allother vertices of $G$. The proximity $pi(G)$ and the remoteness $rho(G)$of $G$ are defined as the minimum and maximum averagedistance of the vertices of $G$. In this paper we investigate the difference between proximity or remoteness and the classical distanceparameters diameter a...

Some lower bounds for the $L$-intersection number of graphs

‎For a set of non-negative integers~$L$‎, ‎the $L$-intersection number of a graph is the smallest number~$l$ for which there is an assignment of subsets $A_v subseteq {1,dots‎, ‎l}$ to vertices $v$‎, ‎such that every two vertices $u,v$ are adjacent if and only if $|A_u cap A_v|in L$‎. ‎The bipartite $L$-intersection number is defined similarly when the conditions are considered only for the ver...

Sharp Upper bounds for Multiplicative Version of Degree Distance and Multiplicative Version of Gutman Index of Some Products of Graphs

In $1994,$ degree distance  of a graph was introduced by Dobrynin, Kochetova and Gutman. And Gutman proposed the Gutman index of a graph in $1994.$ In this paper, we introduce the concepts of  multiplicative version of degree distance and the multiplicative version of Gutman index of a graph. We find the sharp upper bound for the  multiplicative version of degree distance and multiplicative ver...

Tverberg's theorem with constraints

We extend the topological Tverberg theorem in the following way: Pairs of points are forced to end up in different partition blocks. This leads to the concept of constraint graphs. In Tverberg’s theorem with constraints, we come up with a list of constraints graphs for the topological Tverberg theorem. The proof is based on connectivity results of chessboard-type complexes. Tverberg’s theorem w...
