Informational Entropy of B-ary Trees after a Vertex Cut

Informational Entropy of B-ary Trees after a Vertex Cut

Together with stars and paths, b-ary trees are one of the most studied acyclic graph structures. As any other structure, a b-ary tree can be seen as containing information. The aim of the present research was to assess through informational entropy the structural information changes in b-ary trees after removal of an arbitrary vertex.

ON VERTEX b-CRITICAL TREES

A b-coloring is a proper coloring of the vertices of a graph such that each color class has a vertex that has neighbors of all other colors. The b-chromatic number of a graph G is the largest k such that G admits a b-coloring with k colors. A graph G is b-critical if the removal of any vertex of G decreases the b-chromatic number. We prove various properties of b-critical trees. In particular, ...

Parallel Generation of t-ary Trees

A parallel algorithm for generating t-ary tree sequences in reverse B-order is presented. The algorithm generates t-ary trees by 0-1 sequences, and each 0-1 sequences is generated in constant average time O(1). The algorithm is executed on a CREW SM SIMD model, and is adaptive and cost-optimal. Prior to the discussion of the parallel algorithm a new sequential generation with O(1) average time ...

Vertex Equitable Labelings of Transformed Trees

A lower bound for the vertex boundary-width of complete k-ary trees

The vertex boundary-width problem (for short VBWP) is to determine the value of vbw(G)=max1 |V |minS⊆V,|S|= |N(S)| for a given graph G= (V ,E), where N(S)= {v / ∈ S|v is a neighbor of u for some u ∈ S}. In this paper, we give a lower bound for vertex boundary-width of complete k-ary trees. © 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
