Characteristic Flows on Signed Graphs and Short Circuit Covers
We generalise to signed graphs a classical result of Tutte [Canad. J. Math. 8 (1956), 13–28] stating that every integer flow can be expressed as a sum of characteristic flows of circuits. In our generalisation, the rôle of circuits is taken over by signed circuits of a signed graph which are known to occur in two types – either balanced circuits or pairs of disjoint unbalanced circuits connecte...
متن کاملSigned B-edge Covers of Graphs
We study a signed variant of edge covers of graphs. Let b be a positive integer, and let G be a graph with minimum degree at least b. A signed b-edge cover of G is a function f : E(G) → {−1, 1} satisfying e∈EG(v) f(e) ≥ b for every v ∈ V (G). The minimum of the values of e∈E(G) f(e), taken over all signed b-edge covers f of G, is called the signed b-edge cover number and is denoted by ρb(G). Fo...
متن کاملVector Flows in Graphs and Integer Flows in Signed Graphs
My research focuses on the flow problems consisting of two parts, vector flows in graphs and integer flows in signed graphs. The concept of integer flows was first introduced by Tutte (1949) as a refinement of map coloring. In fact, integer flows is the dual concept of map coloring for planar graphs. This is often referred as duality theorem. Tutte proposed three celebrated flow conjectures whi...

Let be a simple graph with vertex set and edge set . Let have at least vertices of degree at least , where and b are positive integers. A function is said to be a signed -edge cover of G if G ( ) V G ( ) e E v ( ) E G G : ( f E k b k ) { 1,1} G ( , ) b k ( ) f e b for at least vertices of , where . The value k v G ( ) = {uv E( ( ) E v G u N v ) | } ( ) min ( ) G e E f e , taki...
متن کاملNowhere-zero flows on signed regular graphs
We study the flow spectrum S(G) and the integer flow spectrum S(G) of odd regular graphs. We show that there are signed graphs where the difference between the integer flow number and the flow number is greater than or equal to 1, disproving a conjecture of Raspaud and Zhu [7]. Let G be a (2t + 1)-regular graph. We show that if r ∈ S(G), then r = 2 + 1t or r ≥ 2 + 2 2t−1 . This result generaliz...
