This paper considers an infection spreading in a graph; a vertex gets infected if at least two of its neighbors are infected. The $P_3$-hull number is the minimum size of a vertex set that eventually infects the whole graph. In the specific case of the Kneser graph $K(n,k)$, with $n\ge 2k+1$, an infection spreading on the family of $k$-sets of an $n$-set is considered. A set is infected whenever two sets disjoint from it are infected. We compute the exact value of the $P_3$-hull number of $K(n,k)$ for $n>2k+1$. For $n = 2k+1$, using graph homomorphisms from the Knesser graph to the Hypercube, we give lower and upper bounds.

The First Zagreb Index

AbstractFor a (molecular) graph G with vertex set V (G) and edge set E(G), the first Zagreb index of G is defined as, where dG(vi) is the degree of vertex vi in G. Recently Xu et al. introduced two graphical invariantsandnamed as first multiplicative Zagreb coindex and second multiplicative Zagreb coindex, respectively. The Narumi-Katayama index of a graph G, denoted by NK(G), is equal to the product of the degrees of the vertices of G, that is, NK(G) =. The irregularity index t(G) of G is defined as the number of distinct terms in the degree sequence of G. In this paper, we give some lower and upper bounds on the first Zagreb index M1(G) of graphs and trees in terms of number of vertices, irregularity index, maxi- mum degree, and characterize the extremal graphs. Moreover, we obtain some lower and upper bounds on the (first and second) multiplicative Zagreb coindices of graphs and characterize the extremal graphs. Finally, we present some relations between first Zagreb index and Narumi-Katayama index, and (first and second) multiplicative Zagreb index and coindices of graphs.

A hypergraph H = ( V , ε ) is a pair consisting of a vertex set V , and a set ε of subsets (the hyperedges of H ) of V . A hypergraph H is r -uniform if all the hyperedges of H have the same cardinality r . Let H be an r -uniform hypergraph, we generalize the concept of trees for r -uniform hypergraphs. We say that an r -uniform hypergraph H is a generalized hypertree ( G H T ) if H is disconnected after removing any hyperedge E , and the number of components of G H T − E is a fixed value k   ( 2 ≤ k ≤ r ) . We focus on the case that G H T − E has exactly two components. An edge-minimal G H T is a G H T whose edge set is minimal with respect to inclusion. After considering these definitions, we show that an r -uniform G H T on n vertices has at least 2 n / ( r + 1 ) edges and it has at most n − r + 1 edges if r ≥ 3   and   n ≥ 3 , and the lower and upper bounds on the edge number are sharp. We then discuss the case that G H T − E has exactly k   ( 2 ≤ k ≤ r − 1 ) components.

The purpose of the paper is to investigate the signed domination number of this hypercube graphs. In this paper, signed domination number [Formula: see text]-cube graph for odd [Formula: see text] is found and the lower and upper bounds of hypercube for even [Formula: see text] are found.

Determining vertex subsets are known tools to provide information about automorphism groups of graphs and, consequently about symmetries of graphs. In this paper, we provide both lower and upper bounds of the minimum size of such vertex subsets, called the determining number of the graph. These bounds, which are performed for arbitrary graphs, allow us to compute the determining number in two different graph families such are cographs and unit interval graphs.

In this paper, we obtain a combinatorial formula for computing the Betti numbers in the linear strand of edge ideals of bipartite Kneser graphs. We deduce lower and upper bounds for regularity of powers of edge ideals of these graphs in terms of associated combinatorial data and show that the lower bound is attained in some cases. Also, we obtain bounds on the projective dimension of edge ideals of these graphs in terms of combinatorial data.

Identifying Code

If $G$ be a graph or a digraph, let $\mathrm{id}(G)$ be the minimum size of an identifying code of $G$ if one exists, and $\mathrm{id}(G)=+\infty$ otherwise. For a graph $G$, let $\mathrm{idor}(G)$ be the minimum of $\mathrm{id}(D)$ overall orientations $D$ of $G$. We give some lower and upper bounds on $\mathrm{idor}(G)$. In particular, we show that $\mathrm{idor}(G)\leqslant \frac{3}{2} \mathrm{id}(G)$ for every graph $G$. We also show that computing $\mathrm{idor}(G)$ is NP-hard, while deciding whether $\mathrm{idor}(G)\leqslant |V(G)|-k$ is polynomial-time solvable for every fixed integer $k$.

A labeling $f: V(G) \rightarrow \{1, 2, \ldots, d\}$ of the vertex set of a graph $G$ is said to be proper $d$-distinguishing if it is a proper coloring of $G$ and any nontrivial automorphism of $G$ maps at least one vertex to a vertex with a different label. The distinguishing chromatic number of $G$, denoted by $\chi_D(G)$, is the minimum $d$ such that $G$ has a proper $d$-distinguishing labeling. Let $\chi(G)$ be the chromatic number of $G$ and $D(G)$ be the distinguishing number of $G$. Clearly, $\chi_D(G) \ge \chi(G)$ and $\chi_D(G) \ge D(G)$. Collins, Hovey and Trenk have given a tight upper bound on $\chi_D(G)-\chi(G)$ in terms of the order of the automorphism group of $G$, improved when the automorphism group of $G$ is a finite abelian group. The Kneser graph $K(n,r)$ is a graph whose vertices are the $r$-subsets of an $n$ element set, and two vertices of $K(n,r)$ are adjacent if their corresponding two $r$-subsets are disjoint. In this paper, we provide a class of graphs $G$, namely Kneser graphs $K(n,r)$, whose automorphism group is the symmetric group, $S_n$, such that $\chi_D(G) - \chi(G) \le 1$. In particular, we prove that $\chi_D(K(n,2))=\chi(K(n,2))+1$ for $n\ge 5$. In addition, we show that $\chi_D(K(n,r))=\chi(K(n,r))$ for $n \ge 2r+1$ and $r\ge 3$.

Let G 1 and G 2 be disjoint copies of a graph G and g : V ( G 1 ) → V ( G 2 ) be a function. A functigraph F G consists of the vertex set V ( G 1 ) ∪ V ( G 2 ) and the edge set E ( G 1 ) ∪ E ( G 2 ) ∪ { u v : g ( u ) = v } . In this paper, we extend the study of distinguishing numbers of a graph to its functigraph. We discuss the behavior of distinguishing number in passing from G to F G and find its sharp lower and upper bounds. We also discuss the distinguishing number of functigraphs of complete graphs and join graphs.

AbstractIn an earlier paper, the present authors (2015) introduced the altermatic number of graphs and used Tucker’s lemma, an equivalent combinatorial version of the Borsuk–Ulam theorem, to prove that the altermatic number is a lower bound for chromatic number. A matching Kneser graph is a graph whose vertex set consists of all matchings of a specified size in a host graph and two vertices are adjacent if their corresponding matchings are edge-disjoint. Some well-known families of graphs such as Kneser graphs, Schrijver graphs and permutation graphs can be represented by matching Kneser graphs. In this paper, unifying and generalizing some earlier works by Lovász (1978) and Schrijver (1978), we determine the chromatic number of a large family of matching Kneser graphs by specifying their altermatic number. In particular, we determine the chromatic number of these matching Kneser graphs in terms of the generalized Turán number of matchings.

Dominating Function

Let k ≥ 1 be an integer and G be a simple and finite graph with vertex set V(G). A signed double Roman k-dominating function (SDRkDF) on a graph G is a function f:V(G) → {−1,1,2,3} such that (i) every vertex v with f(v) = −1 is adjacent to at least two vertices assigned a 2 or to at least one vertex w with f(w) = 3, (ii) every vertex v with f(v) = 1 is adjacent to at least one vertex w with f(w) ≥ 2 and (iii) ∑u∈N[v]f(u) ≥ k holds for any vertex v. The weight of a SDRkDF f is ∑u∈V(G) f(u), and the minimum weight of a SDRkDF is the signed double Roman k-domination number γksdR(G) of G. In this paper, we investigate the signed double Roman k-domination number of trees. In particular, we present lower and upper bounds on γksdR(T) for 2 ≤ k ≤ 6 and classify all extremal trees.
