چکیده

The complete multipartite graph with d partite sets, each containing m vertices, will be denoted by K(d; m). If all of the partite sets are not of the same cardinality, the graph K(mi, m2, . . . . md) is the complete d-partite graph with m, vertices in each partite sets, 1 <i<d. The special case where mi= 1 for every i, yields the complete graph on d vertices and is denoted by Kd. The join of graphs G1 and G2, denoted by G1+G2, has V(G,+G2)= V(G,)uV(G,) and E(G1+G2)=E(G1)uE(G2)u{~u~~ is an element of V(G,), v is an element of V(G,)}. Thus, for example, if G=K,+K(3; m),

A Multipartite Version of the Turan Problem - Density Conditions and Eigenvalues

In this paper we propose a multipartite version of the classical Turán problem of determining the minimum number of edges needed for an arbitrary graph to contain a given subgraph. As it turns out, here the non-trivial problem is the determination of the minimal edge density between two classes that implies the existence of a given subgraph. We determine the critical edge density for trees and ...

On vertex neighborhood in minimal imperfect graphs

Lubiw [11] conjectures that in a minimal imperfect Berge graph, the neighborhood graph N (v) of any vertex v must be connected; this conjecture implies a well known Chvátal’s Conjecture [6] which states that N (v) must contain a P4. In this note we will prove an intermediary conjecture for some classes of minimal imperfect graphs. It is well known that a graph is P4-free if, and only if, every ...

A linear programming formulation for the maximum complete multipartite subgraph problem

Let G be a simple undirected graph with node set V (G) and edge set E(G). We call a subset F ⊆ E(G) independent if F is contained in the edge set of a complete multipartite (not necessarily induced) subgraph of G, F is dependent otherwise. In this paper we characterize the independents and the minimal dependents of G. We note that every minimal dependent of G has size two if and only if G is fa...

Fair holey hamiltonian decompositions of complete multipartite graphs and long cycle frames

A k-factor of a graph G = (V (G), E(G)) is a k-regular spanning subgraph of G. A k-factorization is a partition of E(G) into k-factors. If V 1 , ..., V p are the p parts of V (K(n, p)) (the complete multipartite graph with p parts, each of size n), then a holey k-factor of deficiency V i of K(n, p) is a k-factor of K(n, p) − V i for some i satisfying 1 ≤ i ≤ p. Hence a holey k-factorization is ...

Longest paths in strong spanning oriented subgraphs of strong semicomplete multipartite digraphs

A digraph obtained by replacing each edge of a complete multipartite graph by an arc or a pair of mutually opposite arcs with the same end vertices is called a semicomplete multipartite digraph. L. Volkmann (1998) raised the following question: Let D be a strong semicomplete multipartite digraph with a longest path of length l. Does there exist a strong spanning oriented subgraph of D with a lo...
