چکیده

A graph G is said to be distance-balanced if for any edge uv of G, the number of vertices closer to u than to v is equal to the number of vertices closer to v than to u. Let GP (n, k) be a generalized Petersen graph. Jerebic, Klavžar, and Rall [Distance-balanced graphs, Ann. Comb. 12 (2008) 71–79] conjectured that: For any integer k > 2, there exists a positive integer n0 such that the GP (n, k) is not distance-balanced for every integer n > n0. In this note, we give a proof of this conjecture.

Remarks on Distance-Balanced Graphs

Distance-balanced graphs are introduced as graphs in which every edge uv has the following property: the number of vertices closer to u than to v is equal to the number of vertices closer to v than to u. Basic properties of these graphs are obtained. In this paper, we study the conditions under which some graph operations produce a distance-balanced graph.

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...

The lower bound for the number of 1-factors in generalized Petersen graphs

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate the number of 1-factors of a‎ ‎generalized Petersen graph $P(N,k)$ and get a lower bound for the‎ ‎number of 1-factors of $P(N,k)$ as $k$ is odd‎, ‎which shows that the‎ ‎number of 1-factors of $P(N,k)$ is exponential in this case and‎ ‎confirms a conjecture due to Lovász and Plummer (Ann‎. ‎New York Acad‎. ‎Sci‎. ‎576(2006)‎, ‎no‎. ‎1‎, ‎389-398).

Distance-balanced graphs: Symmetry conditions

A graph X is said to be distance–balanced if for any edge uv of X , the number of vertices closer to u than to v is equal to the number of vertices closer to v than to u. A graph X is said to be strongly distance–balanced if for any edge uv of X and any integer k, the number of vertices at distance k from u and at distance k+1 from v is equal to the number of vertices at distance k + 1 from u a...

A note on vague graphs

In this paper, we introduce the notions of product vague graph, balanced product vague graph, irregularity and total irregularity of any irregular vague graphs and some results are presented. Also, density and balanced irregular vague graphs are discussed and some of their properties are established. Finally we give an application of vague digraphs.
