چکیده

A graph is claw-free if it does not contain K I ,3 as an induced subgraph. A graph is KI,r-free if it does not contain KI,r as an induced subgraph. In this paper, we find bounds on the minimum number of edges needed to ensure a KI,.,.-free contains k vertex disjoint cycles. The bound on claw-free graphs is sharp.

Vertex Removable Cycles of Graphs and Digraphs

‎In this paper we defined the vertex removable cycle in respect of the following‎, ‎if $F$ is a class of graphs(digraphs)‎ ‎satisfying certain property‎, ‎$G in F $‎, ‎the cycle $C$ in $G$ is called vertex removable if $G-V(C)in in F $.‎ ‎The vertex removable cycles of eulerian graphs are studied‎. ‎We also characterize the edge removable cycles of regular‎ ‎graphs(digraphs).‎

On the tenacity of cycle permutation graph

A special class of cubic graphs are the cycle permutation graphs. A cycle permutation graph Pn(α) is defined by taking two vertex-disjoint cycles on n vertices and adding a matching between the vertices of the two cycles.In this paper we determine a good upper bound for tenacity of cycle permutation graphs.

Splice Graphs and their Vertex-Degree-Based Invariants

Let G_1 and G_2 be simple connected graphs with disjoint vertex sets V(G_1) and V(G_2), respectively. For given vertices a_1in V(G_1) and a_2in V(G_2), a splice of G_1 and G_2 by vertices a_1 and a_2 is defined by identifying the vertices a_1 and a_2 in the union of G_1 and G_2. In this paper, we present exact formulas for computing some vertex-degree-based graph invariants of splice of graphs.

Disjoint Cycles of Different Lengths in Graphs and Digraphs

In this paper, we study the question of finding a set of k vertex-disjoint cycles (resp. directed cycles) of distinct lengths in a given graph (resp. digraph). In the context of undirected graphs, we prove that, for every k > 1, every graph with minimum degree at least k 2+5k−2 2 has k vertex-disjoint cycles of different lengths, where the degree bound is best possible. We also consider other c...

A simpler proof for the two disjoint odd cycles theorem

We give a short proof of the two disjoint odd cycles theorem which characterizes graphs without two vertex-disjoint odd cycles. Our proof does not depend on any matroid result. It only uses the two paths theorem, which characterizes graphs without two disjoint paths with specified ends (i.e, 2-linked graphs).
