چکیده

Let D be a subset of the positive integers. The distance graph G(Z,D) has all integers as its vertices and two vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if |x − y| ∈ D, where the set D is called distance set. The vertex arboricity va(G) of a graph G is the minimum number of subsets into which vertex set V(G) can be partitioned so that each subset induces an acyclic subgraph. In this paper, the vertex arboricity of graphs G(Z,Dm,k) are studied, where Dm,k = {1, 2, . . . ,m} \ {k}. In particular, va(G(Dm,1)) = dm+3 4 e for any integer m ≥ 5; va(G(Dm,2)) = d m+1 4 e+1 for m = 8l+ j ≥ 6 and j 6= 7, and d m 4 e+1 ≤ va(G(Dm,2)) ≤ d m 4 e+2 for m = 8l+ 7. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.

The Vertex Linear Arboricity of Integer Distance Graph G(Dm,1,4)

An integer distance graph is a graph G(D) with the set Z of all integers as vertex set and two vertices u, v ∈ Z are adjacent if and only if |u− v| ∈ D, where the distance set D is a subset of positive integers. A k-vertex coloring of a graph G is a mapping f from V (G) to [0, k − 1]. A path k-vertex coloring of a graph G is a k-vertex coloring such that every connected component is a path in t...

On list vertex 2-arboricity of toroidal graphs without cycles of specific length

The vertex arboricity $rho(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of subsets into which the vertex set $V(G)$ can be partitioned so that each subset induces an acyclic graph‎. ‎A graph $G$ is called list vertex $k$-arborable if for any set $L(v)$ of cardinality at least $k$ at each vertex $v$ of $G$‎, ‎one can choose a color for each $v$ from its list $L(v)$ so that the subgraph induced by ev...

k-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 ...

A note on the vertex arboricity of signed graphs

A signed tree-coloring of a signed graph (G, σ) is a vertex coloring c so that G(i,±) is a forest for every i ∈ c(u) and u ∈ V(G), where G(i,±) is the subgraph of (G, σ) whose vertex set is the set of vertices colored by i or −i and edge set is the set of positive edges with two end-vertices colored both by i or both by −i, along with the set of negative edges with one end-vertex colored by i a...

Girth, minimum degree, independence, and broadcast independence

An independent broadcast on a connected graph $G$is a function $f:V(G)to mathbb{N}_0$such that, for every vertex $x$ of $G$, the value $f(x)$ is at most the eccentricity of $x$ in $G$,and $f(x)>0$ implies that $f(y)=0$ for every vertex $y$ of $G$ within distance at most $f(x)$ from $x$.The broadcast independence number $alpha_b(G)$ of $G$is the largest weight $sumlimits_{xin V(G)}f(x)$of an ind...
