Distinguishing geometric graphs

چکیده
We begin the study of distinguishing geometric graphs. Let G be a geometric graph. An automorphism of the underlying graph that preserves both crossings and noncrossings is called a geometric automorphism. A labelling, f : V (G) → {1, 2, . . . , r}, is said to be rdistinguishing if no nontrivial geometric automorphism preserves the labels. The distinguishing number of G is the minimum r such that G has an r-distinguishing labelling. We show that when Kn is not the nonconvex K4, it can be 3-distinguished. Furthermore when n ≥ 6, there is a Kn that can be 1-distinguished. For n ≥ 4, K2,n can realize any distinguishing number between 1 and n inclusive. Finally we show that every K3,3 can be 2-distinguished. We also offer several open questions.

The distinguishing chromatic number of bipartite graphs of girth at least six
The distinguishing number $D(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has a vertex labeling with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. The distinguishing chromatic number $chi_{D}(G)$ of $G$ is defined similarly, where, in addition, $f$ is assumed to be a proper labeling. We prove that if $G$ is a bipartite graph of girth at least six with the maximum ...
متن کاملComparing efficiency of traditional and geometric morphometics in distinguishing populations of Alburnus doriae in the central and western basins of Iran
The present study aimed to compare traditional and geometric morphometrics to distinguish populations of Alburnus doriae in some Iranian basins. 132 specimens were collected and photographed. To remove effects of size, the general procrustes analysis was performed. Multivariate analysis of variance and procrustes analysis of variance were performed for traditional and geometric analyses. Both m...
متن کاملOn Third Geometric-Arithmetic Index of Graphs
Continuing the work K. C. Das, I. Gutman, B. Furtula, On second geometric-arithmetic index of graphs, Iran. J. Math Chem., 1(2) (2010) 17-28, in this paper we present lower and upper bounds on the third geometric-arithmetic index GA3 and characterize the extremal graphs. Moreover, we give Nordhaus-Gaddum-type result for GA3.
متن کاملDistinguishing number and distinguishing index of natural and fractional powers of graphs
The distinguishing number (resp. index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (resp. edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. For any $n in mathbb{N}$, the $n$-subdivision of $G$ is a simple graph $G^{frac{1}{n}}$ which is constructed by replacing each edge of $G$ with a path of length $n$...
متن کاملThe second geometric-arithmetic index for trees and unicyclic graphs
Let $G$ be a finite and simple graph with edge set $E(G)$. The second geometric-arithmetic index is defined as $GA_2(G)=sum_{uvin E(G)}frac{2sqrt{n_un_v}}{n_u+n_v}$, where $n_u$ denotes the number of vertices in $G$ lying closer to $u$ than to $v$. In this paper we find a sharp upper bound for $GA_2(T)$, where $T$ is tree, in terms of the order and maximum degree o...
