On Murty-Simon Conjecture II
A graph is diameter two edge-critical if its diameter is two and the deletion
of any edge increases the diameter. Murty and Simon conjectured that the number
of edges in a diameter two edge-critical graph on vertices is at most
and the extremal graph is the complete
bipartite graph .
In the series papers [7-9], the Murty-Simon Conjecture stated by Haynes et al.
is not the original conjecture, indeed, it is only for the diameter two
edge-critical graphs of even order. In this paper, we completely prove the
Murty-Simon Conjecture for the graphs whose complements have vertex
connectivity , where ; and for the graphs whose
complements have an independent vertex cut of cardinality at least three.Comment: 9 pages, submitted for publication on May 10, 201
Partitioning the vertex set of to make an efficient open domination graph
A graph is an efficient open domination graph if there exists a subset of
vertices whose open neighborhoods partition its vertex set. We characterize
those graphs for which the Cartesian product is an efficient
open domination graph when is a complete graph of order at least 3 or a
complete bipartite graph. The characterization is based on the existence of a
certain type of weak partition of . For the class of trees when is
complete of order at least 3, the characterization is constructive. In
addition, a special type of efficient open domination graph is characterized
among Cartesian products when is a 5-cycle or a 4-cycle.Comment: 16 pages, 2 figure
Domination Cover Pebbling: Structural Results
This paper continues the results of "Domination Cover Pebbling: Graph
Families." An almost sharp bound for the domination cover pebbling (DCP) number
for graphs G with specified diameter has been computed. For graphs of diameter
two, a bound for the ratio between the cover pebbling number of G and the DCP
number of G has been computed. A variant of domination cover pebbling, called
subversion DCP is introducted, and preliminary results are discussed.Comment: 15 page
