Jacobsthal numbers in generalised Petersen graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove that the number of 1-factorisations of a generalised Petersen graph of the type GP (3k, k) is equal to the kth Jacobsthal number J(k) if k is odd, and equal to 4J(k), when k is even. Moreover, we verify the list colouring conjecture for GP (3k, k).

Graceful labelings of the generalized Petersen graphs
A graceful labeling of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $m$ edges is aninjection $f: V(G) rightarrow {0,1,ldots,m}$ such that the resulting edge labelsobtained by $|f(u)-f(v)|$ on every edge $uv$ are pairwise distinct. For natural numbers $n$ and $k$, where $n > 2k$, a generalized Petersengraph $P(n, k)$ is the graph whose vertex set is ${u_1, u_2, cdots, u_n} cup {v_1, v_2, cdots, v_n}$ and its edge set...
متن کاملA new infinite family of graceful generalised Petersen graphs, via graceful collages again
By strengthening an edge-decomposition technique for gracefully labelling a generalised Petersen graph, we provide graceful labellings for a new infinite family of such graphs. The method seems flexible enough to provide graceful labellings for many other classes of graphs in the future.
متن کاملOn Integer Sequences Associated With the Cyclic and Complete Graphs
We study integer sequences associated with the cyclic graph Cr and the complete graph Kr. Fourier techniques are used to characterize the sequences that count walks of length n on both these families of graphs. In the case of the cyclic graph, we show that these sequences are associated with an induced colouring of Pascal’s triangle. This extends previous results concerning the Jacobsthal numbers.
متن کاملGraceful labellings for an infinite class of generalised Petersen graphs
We exhibit a graceful labelling for each generalised Petersen graph P8t,3 with t ≥ 1. As an easy consequence, we obtain that for any fixed t the corresponding graph is the unique starter graph for a cyclic edgedecomposition of the complete graph K2t+1. Due to its extreme versatility, the technique employed looks promising for finding new graceful labellings, not necessarily involving generalise...
متن کاملSome Generalizations of the Jacobsthal Numbers
The main object of this paper is to introduce and investigate some properties and relations involving sequences of numbers Fn,m(r), for m = 2, 3, 4, and r is some real number. These sequences are generalizations of the Jacobsthal and Jacobsthal Lucas numbers.
