Vertex Disjoint

Abstract Magnant and Martin conjectured that the vertex set of any d-regular graph G on n vertices can be partitioned into $n / (d+1)$ paths (there exists a simple construction showing that this bound would be best possible). We prove this conjecture when $d = \Omega(n)$ , improving a result of Han, who showed that in this range almost all vertices of G can be covered by $n / (d+1) + 1$ vertex-disjoint paths. In fact our proof gives a partition of V(G) into cycles. We also show that, if $d = \Omega(n)$ and G is bipartite, then V(G) can be partitioned into n/(2d) paths (this bound is tight for bipartite graphs).

Let G = (V(G), E(G)) be a graph. The complement of G is denoted by Gc. The forgotten topological index of G, denoted F(G), is defined as the sum of the cubes of the degrees of all the vertices in G. The second Zagreb index of G, denoted M2(G), is defined as the sum of the products of the degrees of pairs of adjacent vertices in G. A graph Gisk-Hamiltonian if for all X ⊂V(G) with|X| ≤ k, the subgraph induced byV(G) - Xis Hamiltonian. Clearly, G is 0-Hamiltonian if and only if G is Hamiltonian. A graph Gisk-path-coverableifV(G) can be covered bykor fewer vertex-disjoint paths. Using F(Gc) and M2(Gc), Li obtained several sufficient conditions for Hamiltonian and traceable graphs (Rao Li, Topological Indexes and Some Hamiltonian Properties of Graphs). In this chapter, the author presents sufficient conditions based upon F(Gc) and M2(Gc)for k-Hamiltonian, k-edge-Hamiltonian, k-path-coverable, k-connected, and k-edge-connected graphs.

Vertex Disjoint

The construction of vertex-disjoint paths (disjoint paths) is an important research topic in various kinds of interconnection networks, which can improve the transmission rate and reliability. The k-ary n-cube is a family of popular networks. In this paper, we determine that there are m2≤m≤n disjoint paths in 3-ary n-cube covering Qn3−F from S to T (many-to-many) with F≤2n−2m and from s to T (one-to-many) with F≤2n−m−1 where s is in a fault-free cycle of length three.

AbstractThe theta graph ${\Theta _{\ell ,t}}$ consists of two vertices joined by t vertex-disjoint paths, each of length $\ell $ . For fixed odd $\ell $ and large t, we show that the largest graph not containing ${\Theta _{\ell ,t}}$ has at most ${c_\ell }{t^{1 - 1/\ell }}{n^{1 + 1/\ell }}$ edges and that this is tight apart from the value of ${c_\ell }$ .
