The Gram Dimension of a Graph

چکیده
The Gram dimension gd(G) of a graph is the smallest integer k ≥ 1 such that, for every assignment of unit vectors to the nodes of the graph, there exists another assignment of unit vectors lying in R, having the same inner products on the edges of the graph. The class of graphs satisfying gd(G) ≤ k is minor closed for fixed k, so it can characterized by a finite list of forbidden minors. For k ≤ 3, the only forbidden minor is Kk+1. We show that a graph has Gram dimension at most 4 if and only if it does not have K5 and K2,2,2 as minors. We also show some close connections to the notion of d-realizability of graphs. In particular, our result implies the characterization of 3-realizable graphs of Belk and Connelly [5, 6].

Introduction: Graph theoretical analysis of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data has provided new measures of mapping human brain in vivo. Of all methods to measure the functional connectivity between regions, Linear Correlation (LC) calculation of activity time series of the brain regions as a linear measure is considered the most ubiquitous one. The strength of the dependence obl...
متن کاملAdjacency metric dimension of the 2-absorbing ideals graph
Let Γ=(V,E) be a graph and W_(a)={w_1,…,w_k } be a subset of the vertices of Γ and v be a vertex of it. The k-vector r_2 (v∣ W_a)=(a_Γ (v,w_1),… ,a_Γ (v,w_k)) is the adjacency representation of v with respect to W in which a_Γ (v,w_i )=min{2,d_Γ (v,w_i )} and d_Γ (v,w_i ) is the distance between v and w_i in Γ. W_a is called as an adjacency resolving set for Γ if distinct vertices of ...
متن کاملSzeged Dimension and $PI_v$ Dimension of Composite Graphs
Let $G$ be a simple connected graph. In this paper, Szeged dimension and PI$_v$ dimension of graph $G$ are introduced. It is proved that if $G$ is a graph of Szeged dimension $1$ then line graph of $G$ is 2-connected. The dimensions of five composite graphs: sum, corona, composition, disjunction and symmetric difference with strongly regular components is computed. Also explicit formulas of Sze...

A set $Wsubseteq V(G)$ is called a resolving set for $G$, if for each two distinct vertices $u,vin V(G)$ there exists $win W$ such that $d(u,w)neq d(v,w)$, where $d(x,y)$ is the distance between the vertices $x$ and $y$. The minimum cardinality of a resolving set for $G$ is called the metric dimension of $G$, and denoted by $dim(G)$. In this paper, it is proved that in a connected graph $...

A subset W of the vertices of a graph G is a resolving set for G when for each pair of distinct vertices u,v in V (G) there exists w in W such that d(u,w)≠d(v,w). The cardinality of a minimum resolving set for G is the metric dimension of G. This concept has applications in many diverse areas including network discovery, robot navigation, image processing, combinatorial search and optimization....
