On Closed Modular Colorings of Trees

100%
EN
Two vertices u and v in a nontrivial connected graph G are twins if u and v have the same neighbors in V (G) − {u, v}. If u and v are adjacent, they are referred to as true twins; while if u and v are nonadjacent, they are false twins. For a positive integer k, let c : V (G) → Zk be a vertex coloring where adjacent vertices may be assigned the same color. The coloring c induces another vertex coloring c′ : V (G) → Zk defined by c′(v) = P u∈N[v] c(u) for each v ∈ V (G), where N[v] is the closed neighborhood of v. Then c is called a closed modular k-coloring if c′(u) 6= c′(v) in Zk for all pairs u, v of adjacent vertices that are not true twins. The minimum k for which G has a closed modular k-coloring is the closed modular chromatic number mc(G) of G. The closed modular chromatic number is investigated for trees and determined for several classes of trees. For each tree T in these classes, it is shown that mc(T) = 2 or mc(T) = 3. A closed modular k-coloring c of a tree T is called nowhere-zero if c(x) 6= 0 for each vertex x of T. It is shown that every tree of order 3 or more has a nowhere-zero closed modular 4-coloring.

On graphs with a unique minimum hull set

100%
EN
We show that for every integer k ≥ 2 and every k graphs G₁,G₂,...,Gₖ, there exists a hull graph with k hull vertices v₁,v₂,...,vₖ such that link $L(v_i) = G_i$ for 1 ≤ i ≤ k. Moreover, every pair a, b of integers with 2 ≤ a ≤ b is realizable as the hull number and geodetic number (or upper geodetic number) of a hull graph. We also show that every pair a,b of integers with a ≥ 2 and b ≥ 0 is realizable as the hull number and forcing geodetic number of a hull graph.

Connected partition dimensions of graphs

100%
EN
For a vertex v of a connected graph G and a subset S of V(G), the distance between v and S is d(v,S) = min{d(v,x)|x ∈ S}. For an ordered k-partition Π = {S₁,S₂,...,Sₖ} of V(G), the representation of v with respect to Π is the k-vector r(v|Π) = (d(v,S₁), d(v,S₂),..., d(v,Sₖ)). The k-partition Π is a resolving partition if the k-vectors r(v|Π), v ∈ V(G), are distinct. The minimum k for which there is a resolving k-partition of V(G) is the partition dimension pd(G) of G. A resolving partition Π = {S₁,S₂,...,Sₖ} of V(G) is connected if each subgraph $⟨S_i⟩$ induced by $S_i$ (1 ≤ i ≤ k) is connected in G. The minimum k for which there is a connected resolving k-partition of V(G) is the connected partition dimension cpd(G) of G. Thus 2 ≤ pd (G) ≤ cpd(G) ≤ n for every connected graph G of order n ≥ 2. The connected partition dimensions of several classes of well-known graphs are determined. It is shown that for every pair a, b of integers with 3 ≤ a ≤ b ≤ 2a-1, there is a connected graph G having pd(G) = a and cpd(G) = b. Connected graphs of order n ≥ 3 having connected partition dimension 2, n, or n-1 are characterized.

The forcing geodetic number of a graph

100%
EN
For two vertices u and v of a graph G, the set I(u, v) consists of all vertices lying on some u-v geodesic in G. If S is a set of vertices of G, then I(S) is the union of all sets I(u,v) for u, v ∈ S. A set S is a geodetic set if I(S) = V(G). A minimum geodetic set is a geodetic set of minimum cardinality and this cardinality is the geodetic number g(G). A subset T of a minimum geodetic set S is called a forcing subset for S if S is the unique minimum geodetic set containing T. The forcing geodetic number $f_G(S)$ of S is the minimum cardinality among the forcing subsets of S, and the forcing geodetic number f(G) of G is the minimum forcing geodetic number among all minimum geodetic sets of G. The forcing geodetic numbers of several classes of graphs are determined. For every graph G, f(G) ≤ g(G). It is shown that for all integers a, b with 0 ≤ a ≤ b, a connected graph G such that f(G) = a and g(G) = b exists if and only if (a,b) ∉ {(1,1),(2,2)}.

100%
EN
For integers k and n with 2 ≤ k ≤ n − 1, a graph G of order n is k-path pancyclic if every path P of order k in G lies on a cycle of every length from k + 1 to n. Thus a 2-path pancyclic graph is edge-pancyclic. In this paper, we present sufficient conditions for graphs to be k-path pancyclic. For a graph G of order n ≥ 3, we establish sharp lower bounds in terms of n and k for (a) the minimum degree of G, (b) the minimum degree-sum of nonadjacent vertices of G and (c) the size of G such that G is k-path pancyclic

Nowhere-zero modular edge-graceful graphs

100%
EN
For a connected graph G of order n ≥ 3, let f: E(G) → ℤₙ be an edge labeling of G. The vertex labeling f': V(G) → ℤₙ induced by f is defined as $f'(u) = ∑_{v ∈ N(u)} f(uv)$, where the sum is computed in ℤₙ. If f' is one-to-one, then f is called a modular edge-graceful labeling and G is a modular edge-graceful graph. A modular edge-graceful labeling f of G is nowhere-zero if f(e) ≠ 0 for all e ∈ E(G) and in this case, G is a nowhere-zero modular edge-graceful graph. It is shown that a connected graph G of order n ≥ 3 is nowhere-zero modular edge-graceful if and only if n ≢ 2 mod 4, G ≠ K₃ and G is not a star of even order. For a connected graph G of order n ≥ 3, the smallest integer k ≥ n for which there exists an edge labeling f: E(G) → ℤₖ - {0} such that the induced vertex labeling f' is one-to-one is referred to as the nowhere-zero modular edge-gracefulness of G and this number is determined for every connected graph of order at least 3.

On stratification and domination in graphs

100%
EN
A graph G is 2-stratified if its vertex set is partitioned into two classes (each of which is a stratum or a color class), where the vertices in one class are colored red and those in the other class are colored blue. Let F be a 2-stratified graph rooted at some blue vertex v. An F-coloring of a graph is a red-blue coloring of the vertices of G in which every blue vertex v belongs to a copy of F rooted at v. The F-domination number $γ_F(G)$ is the minimum number of red vertices in an F-coloring of G. In this paper, we study F-domination, where F is a 2-stratified red-blue-blue path of order 3 rooted at a blue end-vertex. We present characterizations of connected graphs of order n with F-domination number n or 1 and establish several realization results on F-domination number and other domination parameters.

Geodetic sets in graphs

81%
EN
For two vertices u and v of a graph G, the closed interval I[u,v] consists of u, v, and all vertices lying in some u-v geodesic in G. If S is a set of vertices of G, then I[S] is the union of all sets I[u,v] for u, v ∈ S. If I[S] = V(G), then S is a geodetic set for G. The geodetic number g(G) is the minimum cardinality of a geodetic set. A set S of vertices in a graph G is uniform if the distance between every two distinct vertices of S is the same fixed number. A geodetic set is essential if for every two distinct vertices u,v ∈ S, there exists a third vertex w of G that lies in some u-v geodesic but in no x-y geodesic for x, y ∈ S and {x,y} ≠ {u,v}. It is shown that for every integer k ≥ 2, there exists a connected graph G with g(G) = k which contains a uniform, essential minimum geodetic set. A minimal geodetic set S has no proper subset which is a geodetic set. The maximum cardinality of a minimal geodetic set is the upper geodetic number g⁺(G). It is shown that every two integers a and b with 2 ≤ a ≤ b are realizable as the geodetic and upper geodetic numbers, respectively, of some graph and when a < b the minimum order of such a graph is b+2.

Full domination in graphs

81%
EN
For each vertex v in a graph G, let there be associated a subgraph $H_v$ of G. The vertex v is said to dominate $H_v$ as well as dominate each vertex and edge of $H_v$. A set S of vertices of G is called a full dominating set if every vertex of G is dominated by some vertex of S, as is every edge of G. The minimum cardinality of a full dominating set of G is its full domination number $γ_{FH}(G)$. A full dominating set of G of cardinality $γ_{FH}(G)$ is called a $γ_{FH}$-set of G. We study three types of full domination in graphs: full star domination, where $H_v$ is the maximum star centered at v, full closed domination, where $H_v$ is the subgraph induced by the closed neighborhood of v, and full open domination, where $H_v$ is the subgraph induced by the open neighborhood of v.

Radio k-colorings of paths

81%
EN
For a connected graph G of diameter d and an integer k with 1 ≤ k ≤ d, a radio k-coloring of G is an assignment c of colors (positive integers) to the vertices of G such that d(u,v) + |c(u)- c(v)| ≥ 1 + k for every two distinct vertices u and v of G, where d(u,v) is the distance between u and v. The value rcₖ(c) of a radio k-coloring c of G is the maximum color assigned to a vertex of G. The radio k-chromatic number rcₖ(G) of G is the minimum value of rcₖ(c) taken over all radio k-colorings c of G. In this paper, radio k-colorings of paths are studied. For the path Pₙ of order n ≥ 9 and n odd, a new improved bound for $rc_{n- 2}(Pₙ)$ is presented. For n ≥ 4, it is shown that $rc_{n-3}(Pₙ) ≤ \binom{n-2} {2}$ Upper and lower bounds are also presented for rcₖ(Pₙ) in terms of k when 1 ≤ k ≤ n- 1. The upper bound is shown to be sharp when 1 ≤ k ≤ 4 and n is sufficiently large.

Kaleidoscopic Colorings of Graphs

81%
EN
For an r-regular graph G, let c : E(G) → [k] = {1, 2, . . . , k}, k ≥ 3, be an edge coloring of G, where every vertex of G is incident with at least one edge of each color. For a vertex v of G, the multiset-color cm(v) of v is defined as the ordered k-tuple (a1, a2, . . . , ak) or a1a2 … ak, where ai (1 ≤ i ≤ k) is the number of edges in G colored i that are incident with v. The edge coloring c is called k-kaleidoscopic if cm(u) ≠ cm(v) for every two distinct vertices u and v of G. A regular graph G is called a k-kaleidoscope if G has a k-kaleidoscopic coloring. It is shown that for each integer k ≥ 3, the complete graph Kk+3 is a k-kaleidoscope and the complete graph Kn is a 3-kaleidoscope for each integer n ≥ 6. The largest order of an r-regular 3-kaleidoscope is [...] (r−12) $\left( {\matrix{{r - 1} \cr 2 } } \right)$ . It is shown that for each integer r ≥ 5 such that r ≢ 3 (mod 4), there exists an r-regular 3-kaleidoscope of order [...] (r−12) $\left( {{{r - 1} \over 2}} \right)$ .

On eulerian irregularity in graphs

81%
EN
A closed walk in a connected graph G that contains every edge of G exactly once is an Eulerian circuit. A graph is Eulerian if it contains an Eulerian circuit. It is well known that a connected graph G is Eulerian if and only if every vertex of G is even. An Eulerian walk in a connected graph G is a closed walk that contains every edge of G at least once, while an irregular Eulerian walk in G is an Eulerian walk that encounters no two edges of G the same number of times. The minimum length of an irregular Eulerian walk in G is called the Eulerian irregularity of G and is denoted by EI(G). It is known that if G is a nontrivial connected graph of size m, then [...] . A necessary and sufficient condition has been established for all pairs k,m of positive integers for which there is a nontrivial connected graph G of size m with EI(G) = k. A subgraph F in a graph G is an even subgraph of G if every vertex of F is even. We present a formula for the Eulerian irregularity of a graph in terms of the size of certain even subgraph of the graph. Furthermore, Eulerian irregularities are determined for all graphs of cycle rank 2 and all complete bipartite graphs

Characterizations of Graphs Having Large Proper Connection Numbers

81%
EN
Let G be an edge-colored connected graph. A path P is a proper path in G if no two adjacent edges of P are colored the same. If P is a proper u − v path of length d(u, v), then P is a proper u − v geodesic. An edge coloring c is a proper-path coloring of a connected graph G if every pair u, v of distinct vertices of G are connected by a proper u − v path in G, and c is a strong proper-path coloring if every two vertices u and v are connected by a proper u− v geodesic in G. The minimum number of colors required for a proper-path coloring or strong proper-path coloring of G is called the proper connection number pc(G) or strong proper connection number spc(G) of G, respectively. If G is a nontrivial connected graph of size m, then pc(G) ≤ spc(G) ≤ m and pc(G) = m or spc(G) = m if and only if G is the star of size m. In this paper, we determine all connected graphs G of size m for which pc(G) or spc(G) is m − 1,m − 2 or m − 3.

Distance defined by spanning trees in graphs

81%
EN
For a spanning tree T in a nontrivial connected graph G and for vertices u and v in G, there exists a unique u-v path u = u₀, u₁, u₂,..., uₖ = v in T. A u-v T-path in G is a u- v path u = v₀, v₁,...,vₗ = v in G that is a subsequence of the sequence u = u₀, u₁, u₂,..., uₖ = v. A u-v T-path of minimum length is a u-v T-geodesic in G. The T-distance $d_{G|T}(u,v)$ from u to v in G is the length of a u-v T-geodesic. Let geo(G) and geo(G|T) be the set of geodesics and the set of T-geodesics respectively in G. Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for (1) geo(G) = geo(G|T) and (2) geo(G|T) = geo(G|T*), where T and T* are two spanning trees of G. It is shown for a connected graph G that geo(G|T) = geo(G) for every spanning tree T of G if and only if G is a block graph. For a spanning tree T of a connected graph G, it is also shown that geo(G|T) satisfies seven of the eight axioms of the characterization of geo(G). Furthermore, we study the relationship between the distance d and T-distance $d_{G|T}$ in graphs and present several realization results on parameters and subgraphs defined by these two distances.

Recognizable colorings of graphs

81%
EN
Let G be a connected graph and let c:V(G) → {1,2,...,k} be a coloring of the vertices of G for some positive integer k (where adjacent vertices may be colored the same). The color code of a vertex v of G (with respect to c) is the ordered (k+1)-tuple code(v) = (a₀,a₁,...,aₖ) where a₀ is the color assigned to v and for 1 ≤ i ≤ k, $a_i$ is the number of vertices adjacent to v that are colored i. The coloring c is called recognizable if distinct vertices have distinct color codes and the recognition number rn(G) of G is the minimum positive integer k for which G has a recognizable k-coloring. Recognition numbers of complete multipartite graphs are determined and characterizations of connected graphs of order n having recognition numbers n or n-1 are established. It is shown that for each pair k,n of integers with 2 ≤ k ≤ n, there exists a connected graph of order n having recognition number k. Recognition numbers of cycles, paths, and trees are investigated.

On γ-labelings of trees

81%
EN
Let G be a graph of order n and size m. A γ-labeling of G is a one-to-one function f:V(G) → {0,1,2,...,m} that induces a labeling f': E(G) → {1,2,...,m} of the edges of G defined by f'(e) = |f(u)-f(v)| for each edge e = uv of G. The value of a γ-labeling f is $val(f) = Σ_{e ∈ E(G)}f'K(e)$. The maximum value of a γ-labeling of G is defined as $val_{max}(G) = max {val(f) : f is a γ- labeling of G}$; while the minimum value of a γ-labeling of G is $val_{min}(G) = min {val(f) : f is a γ- labeling of G}$; The values $val_{max}(S_{p,q})$ and $val_{min}(S_{p,q})$ are determined for double stars $S_{p,q}$. We present characterizations of connected graphs G of order n for which $val_{min}(G) = n$ or $val_{min}(G) = n+1$.

Vertex rainbow colorings of graphs

81%
EN
In a properly vertex-colored graph G, a path P is a rainbow path if no two vertices of P have the same color, except possibly the two end-vertices of P. If every two vertices of G are connected by a rainbow path, then G is vertex rainbow-connected. A proper vertex coloring of a connected graph G that results in a vertex rainbow-connected graph is a vertex rainbow coloring of G. The minimum number of colors needed in a vertex rainbow coloring of G is the vertex rainbow connection number vrc(G) of G. Thus if G is a connected graph of order n ≥ 2, then 2 ≤ vrc(G) ≤ n. We present characterizations of all connected graphs G of order n for which vrc(G) ∈ {2,n-1,n} and study the relationship between vrc(G) and the chromatic number χ(G) of G. For a connected graph G of order n and size m, the number m-n+1 is the cycle rank of G. Vertex rainbow connection numbers are determined for all connected graphs of cycle rank 0 or 1 and these numbers are investigated for connected graphs of cycle rank 2.

On multiset colorings of graphs

81%
EN
A vertex coloring of a graph G is a multiset coloring if the multisets of colors of the neighbors of every two adjacent vertices are different. The minimum k for which G has a multiset k-coloring is the multiset chromatic number χₘ(G) of G. For every graph G, χₘ(G) is bounded above by its chromatic number χ(G). The multiset chromatic numbers of regular graphs are investigated. It is shown that for every pair k, r of integers with 2 ≤ k ≤ r - 1, there exists an r-regular graph with multiset chromatic number k. It is also shown that for every positive integer N, there is an r-regular graph G such that χ(G) - χₘ(G) = N. In particular, it is shown that χₘ(Kₙ × K₂) is asymptotically √n. In fact, $χₘ(Kₙ × K₂) = χₘ(cor(K_{n+1}))$. The corona cor(G) of a graph G is the graph obtained from G by adding, for each vertex v in G, a new vertex v' and the edge vv'. It is shown that χₘ(cor(G)) ≤ χₘ(G) for every nontrivial connected graph G. The multiset chromatic numbers of the corona of all complete graphs are determined. On Multiset Colorings of Graphs From this, it follows that for every positive integer N, there exists a graph G such that χₘ(G) - χₘ(cor(G)) ≥ N. The result obtained on the multiset chromatic number of the corona of complete graphs is then extended to the corona of all regular complete multipartite graphs.

The set chromatic number of a graph

81%
EN
For a nontrivial connected graph G, let c: V(G)→ N be a vertex coloring of G where adjacent vertices may be colored the same. For a vertex v of G, the neighborhood color set NC(v) is the set of colors of the neighbors of v. The coloring c is called a set coloring if NC(u) ≠ NC(v) for every pair u,v of adjacent vertices of G. The minimum number of colors required of such a coloring is called the set chromatic number χₛ(G) of G. The set chromatic numbers of some well-known classes of graphs are determined and several bounds are established for the set chromatic number of a graph in terms of other graphical parameters.

Hamiltonian-colored powers of strong digraphs

81%
EN
For a strong oriented graph D of order n and diameter d and an integer k with 1 ≤ k ≤ d, the kth power $D^k$ of D is that digraph having vertex set V(D) with the property that (u, v) is an arc of $D^k$ if the directed distance $^{→}d_D(u,v)$ from u to v in D is at most k. For every strong digraph D of order n ≥ 2 and every integer k ≥ ⌈n/2⌉, the digraph $D^k$ is Hamiltonian and the lower bound ⌈n/2⌉ is sharp. The digraph $D^k$ is distance-colored if each arc (u, v) of $D^k$ is assigned the color i where $i = ^{→}d_D(u,v)$. The digraph $D^k$ is Hamiltonian-colored if $D^k$ contains a properly arc-colored Hamiltonian cycle. The smallest positive integer k for which $D^k$ is Hamiltonian-colored is the Hamiltonian coloring exponent hce(D) of D. For each integer n ≥ 3, the Hamiltonian coloring exponent of the directed cycle $^{→}Cₙ$ of order n is determined whenever this number exists. It is shown for each integer k ≥ 2 that there exists a strong oriented graph Dₖ such that hce(Dₖ) = k with the added property that every properly colored Hamiltonian cycle in the kth power of Dₖ must use all k colors. It is shown for every positive integer p there exists a a connected graph G with two different strong orientations D and D' such that hce(D) - hce(D') ≥ p.
