Separation Dimension of Bounded Degree Graphs

Separation dimension of bounded degree graphs

The separation dimension of a graph G is the smallest natural number k for which the vertices of G can be embedded in Rk such that any pair of disjoint edges in G can be separated by a hyperplane normal to one of the axes. Equivalently, it is the smallest possible cardinality of a family F of total orders of the vertices of G such that for any two disjoint edges of G, there exists at least one ...

k-forested choosability of graphs with bounded maximum average degree

A proper vertex coloring of a simple graph is $k$-forested if the graph induced by the vertices of any two color classes is a forest with maximum degree less than $k$. A graph is $k$-forested $q$-choosable if for a given list of $q$ colors associated with each vertex $v$, there exists a $k$-forested coloring of $G$ such that each vertex receives a color from its own list. In this paper, we prov...

Separation dimension of sparse graphs

The separation dimension of a graph G is the smallest natural number k for whichthe vertices of G can be embedded in Rk such that any pair of disjoint edges in G canbe separated by a hyperplane normal to one of the axes. Equivalently, it is the smallestpossible cardinality of a family F of permutations of the vertices of G such that for anytwo disjoint edges of G, there exists a...

Sparse universal graphs for bounded-degree graphs

Let H be a family of graphs. A graph T is H-universal if it contains a copy of each H ∈ H as a subgraph. Let H(k, n) denote the family of graphs on n vertices with maximum degree at most k. For all positive integers k and n, we construct an H(k, n)-universal graph T with Ok(n 2 k log 4 k n) edges and exactly n vertices. The number of edges is almost as small as possible, as Ω(n2−2/k) is a lower...
