Extremal Parameters in Sub-Critical Graph Classes
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze several extremal parameters like the diameter or the maximum degree in sub-critial graph classes. Sub-critical graph classes cover several well-known classes of graphs like trees, outerplanar graph or series-parallel graphs which have been intensively studied during the last few years. However, this paper is the first one, where these kind of parameters are studied from a general point of view.

Critical Sets for Sudoku and General Graphs
We discuss the problem of finding critical sets in graphs, a concept which has appeared in a number of guises in the combinatorics and graph theory literature. The case of the Sudoku graph receives particular attention, because critical sets correspond to minimal fair puzzles. We define four parameters associated with the sizes of extremal critical sets and (a) prove several general results abo...

متن کاملEccentric Connectivity Index: Extremal Graphs and Values
Eccentric connectivity index has been found to have a low degeneracy and hence a significant potential of predicting biological activity of certain classes of chemical compounds. We present here explicit formulas for eccentric connectivity index of various families of graphs. We also show that the eccentric connectivity index grows at most polynomially with the number of vertices and determine ...
متن کاملOn generalized atom-bond connectivity index of cacti
The generalized atom-bond connectivity index of a graph G is denoted by ABCa(G) and defined as the sum of weights ((d(u)+d(v)-2)/d(u)d(v))aa$ over all edges uv∊G. A cactus is a graph in which any two cycles have at most one common vertex. In this paper, we compute sharp bounds for ABCa index for cacti of order $n$ ...
متن کاملExtremal Optimization: Methods derived from Co-Evolution
We describe a general-purpose method for finding high-quality solutions to hard optimization problems, inspired by self-organized critical models of co-evolution such as the Bak-Sneppen model. The method, called Extremal Optimization, successively eliminates extremely undesirable components of sub-optimal solutions, rather than “breeding” better components. In contrast to Genetic Algorithms whi...
