The Colin de Verdi

  • Hein van der Holst
چکیده

In 1990, Y. Colin de Verdi ere introduced a new graph parameter (G), based on spectral properties of matrices associated with G. He showed that (G) is monotone under taking minors and that planarity of G is characterized by the inequality (G) 3. Recently Lovv asz and Schrijver showed that linkless embeddability of G is characterized by the inequality (G) 4. In this paper we give an overview of results on (G) and of techniques to handle it.

On the behaviour of Colin

For any connected undirected graph G, let (G) be the graph invariant introduced by Colin de Verdi ere. In this paper we study the behaviour of (G) under clique sums of graphs. In particular, we give a forbidden minor characterization of those clique sums G of G 1 and G 2 for which (G) = maxf(G 1); (G 2)g.

On the Relation Between Two Minor-Monotone Graph Parameters

We prove that for each graph (G) (G) + 2, where and are minor-monotone graph invariants introduced by Colin de Verdi ere 3] and van der Holst, Laurent and Schrijver 5]. It is also shown that a graph G exists with (G) < (G). The graphs G with maximal planar complement and (G) = jV (G)j ? 4, characterised by Kotlov, Lovv asz and Vempala, are shown to be forbidden minors for fH j (H) < jV (G)j ? 4g.

The Colin de Verdière Number and Sphere Representations of a Graph

Colin de Verdi ere introduced an interesting linear algebraic invariant (G) of graphs. He proved that (G) 2 if and only if G is outerplanar, and (G) 3 if and only if G is planar. We prove that if the complement of a graph G on n nodes is outerplanar, then (G) n ? 4, and if it is planar, then (G) n ? 5. We give a full characterization of maximal planar graphs with (G) = n ? 5. In the opposite di...

Recognizing Golddsh? or Local Scale Selection for Recognition Techniques

This paper addresses the problem of the local scale parameter selection for recognition techniques based on Gaussian derivatives. Patterns are represented in a local subspace or feature space of which each dimension is a scale normalized receptive eld (a unit composed of normalized Gaussian derivativessLin98]). Data are structurally represented in a feature space for the recognition of static d...
