On the p-Connectedness of Graphs – a Survey
A graph is said to be p-connected if for every partition of its vertices into two non-empty, disjoint, sets some chordless path with three edges contains vertices from both sets in the partition. As it turns out, p-connectedness generalizes the usual connectedness of graphs and leads, in a natural way, to a unique tree representation for arbitrary graphs.
This paper reviews old and new results, both structural and algorithmic, about p-connectedness along with applications to various graph decompositions
A Survey of Best Monotone Degree Conditions for Graph Properties
We survey sufficient degree conditions, for a variety of graph properties,
that are best possible in the same sense that Chvatal's well-known degree
condition for hamiltonicity is best possible.Comment: 25 page
Some local--global phenomena in locally finite graphs
In this paper we present some results for a connected infinite graph with
finite degrees where the properties of balls of small radii guarantee the
existence of some Hamiltonian and connectivity properties of . (For a vertex
of a graph the ball of radius centered at is the subgraph of
induced by the set of vertices whose distance from does not
exceed ). In particular, we prove that if every ball of radius 2 in is
2-connected and satisfies the condition for
each path in , where and are non-adjacent vertices, then
has a Hamiltonian curve, introduced by K\"undgen, Li and Thomassen (2017).
Furthermore, we prove that if every ball of radius 1 in satisfies Ore's
condition (1960) then all balls of any radius in are Hamiltonian.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figures; journal accepted versio
Connectedness of graphs and its application to connected matroids through covering-based rough sets
Graph theoretical ideas are highly utilized by computer science fields
especially data mining. In this field, a data structure can be designed in the
form of tree. Covering is a widely used form of data representation in data
mining and covering-based rough sets provide a systematic approach to this type
of representation. In this paper, we study the connectedness of graphs through
covering-based rough sets and apply it to connected matroids. First, we present
an approach to inducing a covering by a graph, and then study the connectedness
of the graph from the viewpoint of the covering approximation operators.
Second, we construct a graph from a matroid, and find the matroid and the graph
have the same connectedness, which makes us to use covering-based rough sets to
study connected matroids. In summary, this paper provides a new approach to
studying graph theory and matroid theory
On certain families of planar patterns and fractals
This survey article is dedicated to some families of fractals that were
introduced and studied during the last decade, more precisely, families of
Sierpi\'nski carpets: limit net sets, generalised Sierpi\'nski carpets and
labyrinth fractals. We give a unifying approach of these fractals and several
of their topological and geometrical properties, by using the framework of
planar patterns.Comment: survey article, 10 pages, 7 figure
Forbidden subgraphs that imply Hamiltonian-connectedness
It is proven that if is a -connected claw-free graph which is also -free (where is a triangle with a path of length attached), -free (where is a path with vertices) or -free (where consists of two disjoint triangles connected by an edge), then is Hamiltonian-connected. Also, examples will be described that determine a finite family of graphs such that if a 3-connected graph being claw-free and -free implies is Hamiltonian-connected, then . \u
