Triangle-free planar graphs with small independence number
Since planar triangle-free graphs are 3-colourable, such a graph with n vertices has an independent set of size at least n/3. We prove that unless the graph contains a certain obstruction, its independence number is at least n/(3−ε) for some fixed ε > 0. We also provide a reduction rule for this obstruction, which enables us to transform any plane triangle-free graph G into a plane triangle-fre...
متن کاملEdge number critical triangle free graphs with low independence numbers
The structure of all triangle free graphs G = (V,E) with |E|−6|V |+α(G) = 0 is determined, yielding an affirmative answer to a question of Stanis law Radziszowsky and Donald Kreher.
متن کاملMaximum number of edges in claw-free graphs whose maximum degree and matching number are bounded
We determine the maximum number of edges that a claw-free graph can have, when its maximum degree and matching number are bounded. This is a famous problem that has been studied on general graphs, and for which there is a tight bound. The graphs achieving this bound contain in most cases an induced copy of K1,3, the claw, which motivates studying the question on claw-free graphs. Note that on g...
متن کاملOn the Independence Number of Graphs with Maximum Degree 3
Let G be an undirected graph with maximum degree at most 3 such that G does not contain any of the three graphs shown in Figure 1 as a subgraph. We prove that the independence number of G is at least n(G)/3 + nt(G)/42, where n(G) is the number of vertices in G and nt(G) is the number of nontriangle vertices in G. This bound is tight as implied by the wellknown tight lower bound of 5n(G)/14 on t...
متن کاملMORE GRAPHS WHOSE ENERGY EXCEEDS THE NUMBER OF VERTICES
The energy E(G) of a graph G is equal to the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of G. Several classes of graphs are known that satisfy the condition E(G) > n , where n is the number of vertices. We now show that the same property holds for (i) biregular graphs of degree a b , with q quadrangles, if q<= abn/4 and 5<=a < b = 0 (iii) triregular graphs of degree 1, a, b that are quadran...
