Constructions of cospectral graphs with different zero forcing numbers

چکیده

Several researchers have recently explored various graph parameters that can or cannot be characterized by the spectrum of a matrix associated with graph. In this paper, we show several NP-hard zero forcing numbers are not spectra types matrices particular, consider standard forcing, positive semidefinite and skew provide constructions infinite families pairs cospectral graphs, which different values for these numbers. We explore methods obtaining graphs including using products, joins, switching. Among these, construction involving regular adjacency graphs; regularity also implies cospectrality respect to other Laplacian, signless normalized Laplacian. where an arbitrarily large difference between their

On the zero forcing number of some Cayley graphs

‎Let Γa be a graph whose each vertex is colored either white or black‎. ‎If u is a black vertex of Γ such that exactly one neighbor‎ ‎v of u is white‎, ‎then u changes the color of v to black‎. ‎A zero forcing set for a Γ graph is a subset of vertices Zsubseteq V(Γ) such that‎ if initially the vertices in Z are colored black and the remaining vertices are colored white‎, ‎then Z changes the col...

Zero forcing number of graphs

A subset S of initially infected vertices of a graph G is called forcing if we can infect the entire graph by iteratively applying the following process. At each step, any infected vertex which has a unique uninfected neighbour, infects this neighbour. The forcing number of G is the minimum cardinality of a forcing set in G. In the present paper, we study the forcing number of various classes o...

Graphs with Extremal Connected Forcing Numbers

Zero forcing is an iterative graph coloring process where at each discrete time step, a colored vertex with a single uncolored neighbor forces that neighbor to become colored. The zero forcing number of a graph is the cardinality of the smallest set of initially colored vertices which forces the entire graph to eventually become colored. Connected forcing is a variant of zero forcing in which t...

Graphs cospectral with starlike trees

A tree which has exactly one vertex of degree greater than two is said to be starlike. In spite of seemingly simple structure of these trees, not much is known about their spectral properties. In this paper, we introduce a generalization of the notion of cospectrality called m-cospectrality which turns out to be useful in constructing cospectral graphs. Based on this, we construct cospectral ma...

Complete forcing numbers of polyphenyl systems

The idea of “forcing” has long been used in many research fields, such as colorings, orientations, geodetics and dominating sets in graph theory, as well as Latin squares, block designs and Steiner systems in combinatorics (see [1] and the references therein). Recently, the forcing on perfect matchings has been attracting more researchers attention. A forcing set of M is a subset of M contained...
