Let G be a connected graph with minimum degree δ G and vertex-connectivity κ G . The graph G is k -connected if κ G ≥ k , maximally connected if κ G = δ G , and super-connected if every minimum vertex-cut isolates a vertex of minimum degree. In this paper, we present sufficient conditions for a graph with given minimum degree to be k -connected, maximally connected, or super-connected in terms of the number of edges, the spectral radius of the graph, and its complement, respectively. Analogous results for triangle-free graphs with given minimum degree to be k -connected, maximally connected, or super-connected are also presented.

Rainbow Connection

An edge-colored graph $G$ is rainbow connected if any two vertices are connected by a path whose edges have distinct colors. The rainbow connection number of a connected graph $G$, denoted $rc(G)$, is the smallest number of colors that are needed in order to make $G$ rainbow connected. In this paper we prove several non-trivial upper bounds for $rc(G)$, as well as determine sufficient conditions that guarantee $rc(G)=2$. Among our results we prove that if $G$ is a connected graph with $n$ vertices and with minimum degree $3$ then $rc(G) < 5n/6$, and if the minimum degree is $\delta$ then $rc(G) \le {\ln \delta\over\delta}n(1+o_\delta(1))$. We also determine the threshold function for a random graph to have $rc(G)=2$ and make several conjectures concerning the computational complexity of rainbow connection.

The Matrix

Abstract The distance matrix 𝒟(G) of a connected graph G is the matrix containing the pairwise distances between vertices. The transmission of a vertex vi in G is the sum of the distances from vi to all other vertices and T(G) is the diagonal matrix of transmissions of the vertices of the graph. The normalized distance Laplacian, 𝒟𝒧(G) = I−T(G)−1/2 𝒟(G)T(G)−1/2, is introduced. This is analogous to the normalized Laplacian matrix, 𝒧(G) = I − D(G)−1/2 A(G)D(G)−1/2, where D(G) is the diagonal matrix of degrees of the vertices of the graph and A(G) is the adjacency matrix. Bounds on the spectral radius of 𝒟 𝒧 and connections with the normalized Laplacian matrix are presented. Twin vertices are used to determine eigenvalues of the normalized distance Laplacian. The distance generalized characteristic polynomial is defined and its properties established. Finally, 𝒟𝒧-cospectrality and lack thereof are determined for all graphs on 10 and fewer vertices, providing evidence that the normalized distance Laplacian has fewer cospectral pairs than other matrices.

Abstract Let $G=(V(G), E(G))$ be a connected graph. A subset $T \subseteq V(G)$ is called an $R^{k}$-vertex-cut, if $G-T$ is disconnected and each vertex in $V(G)-T$ has at least $k$ neighbors in $G-T$. The cardinality of a minimum $R^{k}$-vertex-cut is the $R^{k}$-vertex-connectivity of $G$ and is denoted by $\kappa ^{k}(G)$. $R^{k}$-vertex-connectivity is a new measure to study the fault tolerance of network structures beyond connectivity. In this paper, we study $R^{1}$-vertex-connectivity and $R^{2}$-vertex-connectivity of Cayley graphs generated by wheel graphs, which are denoted by $AW_{n}$, and show that $\kappa ^{1}(AW_{n})=4n-7$ for $n\geq 6$; $\kappa ^{2}(AW_{n})=6n-12$ for $n\geq 6$.

For a graph $G$, let $\gamma(G)$ denote the domination number of $G$ and let $\delta(G)$ denote the minimum degree among the vertices of $G$. A vertex $x$ is called a bad-cut-vertex of $G$ if $G-x$ contains a component, $C_x$, which is an induced $4$-cycle and $x$ is adjacent to at least one but at most three vertices on $C_x$. A cycle $C$ is called a special-cycle if $C$ is a $5$-cycle in $G$ such that if $u$ and $v$ are consecutive vertices on $C$, then at least one of $u$ and $v$ has degree $2$ in $G$. We let ${\rm bc}(G)$ denote the number of bad-cut-vertices in $G$, and ${\rm sc}(G)$ the maximum number of vertex disjoint special-cycles in $G$ that contain no bad-cut-vertices. We say that a graph is $(C_4,C_5)$-free if it has no induced $4$-cycle or $5$-cycle. Bruce Reed [Paths, stars and the number three. Combin. Probab. Comput. 5 (1996), 277–295] showed that if $G$ is a graph of order $n$ with $\delta(G) \ge 3$, then $\gamma(G) \le 3n/8$. In this paper, we relax the minimum degree condition from three to two. Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n \ge 14$ with $\delta(G) \ge 2$. As an application of Reed's result, we show that $\gamma(G) \le \frac{1}{8} ( 3n + {\rm sc}(G) + {\rm bc}(G))$. As a consequence of this result, we have that (i) $\gamma(G) \le 2n/5$; (ii) if $G$ contains no special-cycle and no bad-cut-vertex, then $\gamma(G) \le 3n/8$; (iii) if $G$ is $(C_4,C_5)$-free, then $\gamma(G) \le 3n/8$; (iv) if $G$ is $2$-connected and $d_G(u) + d_G(v) \ge 5$ for every two adjacent vertices $u$ and $v$, then $\gamma(G) \le 3n/8$. All bounds are sharp.

A locally irregular graph is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees. We say that a graph G can be decomposed into k locally irregular subgraphs if its edge set may be partitioned into k subsets each of which induces a locally irregular subgraph in G. It has been conjectured that apart from the family of exceptions which admit no such decompositions, i.e., odd paths, odd cycles and a special class of graphs of maximum degree 3, every connected graph can be decomposed into 3 locally irregular subgraphs. Using a combination of a probabilistic approach and some known theorems on degree constrained subgraphs of a given graph, we prove this to hold for graphs of minimum degree at least $10^{10}$. This problem is strongly related to edge colourings distinguishing neighbours by the pallets of their incident colours and to the 1-2-3 Conjecture. In particular, the contribution of this paper constitutes a strengthening of a result of Addario-Berry, Aldred, Dalal and Reed [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 94 (2005) 237-244].
