Orphan complexes of neighborhood anti-Sperner graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce and study a class of simplicial complexes, the orphan complexes, associated to simple graphs whose family of (open or closed) vertex-neighborhoods are anti-Sperner. Under suitable restrictions, we show that orphan complexes of such graphs are always shellable and provide a characterization of graphs in terms of induced forbidden subgraphs contained in this restricted subfamily.

Constructing and classifying neighborhood anti-Sperner graphs
For a simple graph G let NG(u) be the (open) neighborhood of vertex u ∈ V (G). Then G is neighborhood anti-Sperner (NAS) if for every u there is a v ∈ V (G)\{u} with NG(u) ⊆ NG(v). And a graph H is neighborhood distinct (ND) if every neighborhood is distinct, i.e., if NH(u) 6= NH(v) when u 6= v, for all u and v ∈ V (H). In Porter and Yucas [3] a characterization of regular NAS graphs was given:...
متن کاملEnumerating Labelled Graphs with Certain Neighborhood Properties
Properties of (connected) graphs whose closed or open neighborhood families are Sperner, anti-Sperner, distinct or none of the proceeding have been extensively examined. In this paper we examine 24 properties of the neighborhood family of a graph. We give asymptotic formulas for the number of (connected) labelled graphs for 12 of these properties. For the other 12 properties, we give bounds for...
متن کاملSperner capacities
We determine the asymptotics of the largest family of qualitatively 2{independent k{ partitions of an n{set, for every k > 2. We generalize a Sperner-type theorem for 2{partite sets of KK orner and Simonyi to the k{partite case. Both results have the feature that the corresponding trivial information-theoretic upper bound is tight. The results follow from a more general Sperner capacity theorem...
متن کاملConvex hulls of more-part Sperner families
The convex hulls of more-part Sperner families is defined and studied. Corollaries of the results are some well-known theorems on 2 or 3-part Sperner families. Some methods are presented giving new theorems.
