Unfriendly partitions of a graph

چکیده
It has been conjectured by Cowan and Emerson [3] that every graph has an unfriendly partition; i.e., there is a partition of the vertex set V= V, v V, such that every vertex of V, is joined to at least as many vertices in V, _, as to vertices in V,. It is easily seen that every rinite graph has such a partition, and hence by compactness so does any locally finite graph. We show that the conjecture is also true for graphs which satisfy one of the following two conditions: (i) there are only finitely many vertices having infinite degrees; (ii) there are a finite number of infinite cardinals “to < ntI < cm, such that m, is regular for 1 < i 6 X-, there are fewer than m,, vertices having finite degrees, and every vertex having infinite degree has degree m, for some i < k. 1’ 1990 Academx Press.

Stirling number of the fourth kind and lucky partitions of a finite set
The concept of Lucky k-polynomials and in particular Lucky χ-polynomials was recently introduced. This paper introduces Stirling number of the fourth kind and Lucky partitions of a finite set in order to determine either the Lucky k- or Lucky χ-polynomial of a graph. The integer partitions influence Stirling partitions of the second kind.
متن کاملk-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 ...

متن کاملMeasure-theoretic unfriendly colorings
We consider the problem of finding a measurable unfriendly partition of the vertex set of a locally finite Borel graph on standard probability space. After isolating a sufficient condition for the existence of such a partition, we show how it settles the dynamical analog of the problem (up to weak equivalence) for graphs induced by free, measurepreserving actions of groups with designated finit...
متن کاملTsallis Entropy and Conditional Tsallis Entropy of Fuzzy Partitions
The purpose of this study is to define the concepts of Tsallis entropy and conditional Tsallis entropy of fuzzy partitions and to obtain some results concerning this kind entropy. We show that the Tsallis entropy of fuzzy partitions has the subadditivity and concavity properties. We study this information measure under the refinement and zero mode subset relations. We check the chain rules for ...
