Vertex fusion under distance constraints
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we analyze parameter improvement under vertex fusion in a graph G. This is a setting in which a new graph G is obtained after identifying a subset of vertices of G in a single vertex. We are interested in distance parameters, in particular diameter, radius and eccentricity of a vertex v. We show that the corresponding problem is NP-Complete for the three parameters. We also find graph classes in which the problem can be solved in polynomial time.

Distance-based topological indices of tensor product of graphs
Let G and H be connected graphs. The tensor product G + H is a graph with vertex set V(G+H) = V (G) X V(H) and edge set E(G + H) ={(a , b)(x , y)| ax ∈ E(G) & by ∈ E(H)}. The graph H is called the strongly triangular if for every vertex u and v there exists a vertex w adjacent to both of them. In this article the tensor product of G + H under some distancebased topological indices are investiga...
متن کاملOn reverse degree distance of unicyclic graphs
The reverse degree distance of a connected graph $G$ is defined in discrete mathematical chemistry as [ r (G)=2(n-1)md-sum_{uin V(G)}d_G(u)D_G(u), ] where $n$, $m$ and $d$ are the number of vertices, the number of edges and the diameter of $G$, respectively, $d_G(u)$ is the degree of vertex $u$, $D_G(u)$ is the sum of distance between vertex $u$ and all other vertices of $G$, and $V(G)$ is the...
متن کاملVertex fusion under diameter constraints
Given a graph G=(V ,E), a positive integer k and a positive integer d, we want find a subset Vk with k vertices such the graph obtained by identifying the vertices from Vk in G has diameter at most d. We prove that for every d ≥ 2 the problem is NP-complete. For the case of trees we provide a polynomial time algorithm that exploits the relationship with the r-dominating set problem.
متن کاملCodes and their decoding March 2010
In this lecture, we shall look at Expander Codes, Tanner Codes which are a generalization of Expander Codes and Distance amplification codes. These codes visualize the code as a graph where the value of the ith bit of a codeword corresponds to, for example, the value associated with the ith vertex or the ith edge of the graph. The properties of the graph determine the properties such as distanc...
متن کاملPeripheral Wiener Index of a Graph
The eccentricity of a vertex $v$ is the maximum distance between $v$ and anyother vertex. A vertex with maximum eccentricity is called a peripheral vertex.The peripheral Wiener index $ PW(G)$ of a graph $G$ is defined as the sum ofthe distances between all pairs of peripheral vertices of $G.$ In this paper, weinitiate the study of the peripheral Wiener index and we investigate its basicproperti...
