Random induced subgraphs of Cayley graphs induced by transpositions
In this paper we study random induced subgraphs of Cayley graphs of the
symmetric group induced by an arbitrary minimal generating set of
transpositions. A random induced subgraph of this Cayley graph is obtained by
selecting permutations with independent probability, . Our main
result is that for any minimal generating set of transpositions, for
probabilities where , a random induced subgraph has a.s. a unique
largest component of size , where
is the survival probability of a specific branching process.Comment: 18 pages, 1 figur
Identifying codes in vertex-transitive graphs and strongly regular graphs
We consider the problem of computing identifying codes of graphs and its fractional relaxation. The ratio between the size of optimal integer and fractional solutions is between 1 and 2ln(vertical bar V vertical bar) + 1 where V is the set of vertices of the graph. We focus on vertex-transitive graphs for which we can compute the exact fractional solution. There are known examples of vertex-transitive graphs that reach both bounds. We exhibit infinite families of vertex-transitive graphs with integer and fractional identifying codes of order vertical bar V vertical bar(alpha) with alpha is an element of{1/4, 1/3, 2/5}These families are generalized quadrangles (strongly regular graphs based on finite geometries). They also provide examples for metric dimension of graphs
On the size of identifying codes in triangle-free graphs
In an undirected graph , a subset such that is a
dominating set of , and each vertex in is dominated by a distinct
subset of vertices from , is called an identifying code of . The concept
of identifying codes was introduced by Karpovsky, Chakrabarty and Levitin in
1998. For a given identifiable graph , let \M(G) be the minimum
cardinality of an identifying code in . In this paper, we show that for any
connected identifiable triangle-free graph on vertices having maximum
degree , \M(G)\le n-\tfrac{n}{\Delta+o(\Delta)}. This bound is
asymptotically tight up to constants due to various classes of graphs including
-ary trees, which are known to have their minimum identifying code
of size . We also provide improved bounds for
restricted subfamilies of triangle-free graphs, and conjecture that there
exists some constant such that the bound \M(G)\le n-\tfrac{n}{\Delta}+c
holds for any nontrivial connected identifiable graph
Local majorities, coalitions and monopolies in graphs: a review
AbstractThis paper provides an overview of recent developments concerning the process of local majority voting in graphs, and its basic properties, from graph theoretic and algorithmic standpoints
Identifying Codes and Domination in the Product of Graphs
An identifying code in a graph is a dominating set that also has the property that the closed neighborhood of each vertex in the graph has a distinct intersection with the set. The minimum cardinality of an identifying code in a graph is denoted \gid(G). We consider identifying codes of the direct product . In particular, we answer a question of Klav\v{z}ar and show the exact value of \gid(K_n \times K_m). It was recently shown by Gravier, Moncel and Semri that for the Cartesian product of two same-sized cliques \gid(K_n \Box K_n) = \lfloor{\frac{3n}{2}\rfloor}. Letting be any integers, we show that \IDCODE(K_n \cartprod K_m) = \max\{2m-n, m + \lfloor n/2 \rfloor\}. Furthermore, we improve upon the bounds for \IDCODE(G \cartprod K_m) and explore the specific case when is the Cartesian product of multiple cliques. Given two disjoint copies of a graph , denoted and , and a permutation of , the permutation graph is constructed by joining to for all . The graph is said to be a universal fixer if the domination number of is equal to the domination number of for all of . In 1999 it was conjectured that the only universal fixers are the edgeless graphs. We prove the conjecture
