چکیده

Nash-Williams proved that the edges of a k-edge connected (undirected) graph can be oriented such that the resulting directed graph is ⌊ 2 ⌋-edge connected. A long-standing goal in the area is to obtain analogous results for other types of connectivity, such as node connectivity, element connectivity, and hypergraph edge connectivity. We focus on two special classes of graphs, namely, incidence graphs of projective planes and (generalized) Halin graphs, and we prove some analogs of Nash-Williams’ result for these classes.

The locating-chromatic number for Halin graphs

Let G be a connected graph. Let f be a proper k -coloring of G and Π = (R_1, R_2, . . . , R_k) bean ordered partition of V (G) into color classes. For any vertex v of G, define the color code c_Π(v) of v with respect to Π to be a k -tuple (d(v, R_1), d(v, R_2), . . . , d(v, R_k)), where d(v, R_i) is the min{d(v, x)|x ∈ R_i}. If distinct vertices have distinct color codes, then we call f a locat...

Lovász-Plummer conjecture on Halin graphs

A Halin graph, defined by Halin [3], is a plane graph H = T ∪ C such that T is a spanning tree of H with no vertices of degree 2 where |T | ≥ 4 and C is a cycle whose vertex set is the set of leaves of T . In his work, as an example of a class of edge-minimal 3-connected plane graphs, Halin constructed this family of plane graphs, which have many interesting properties. Lovász and Plummer [5] n...

On the Eccentric Connectivity Index of Unicyclic Graphs

In this paper, we obtain the upper and lower bounds on the eccen- tricity connectivity index of unicyclic graphs with perfect matchings. Also we give some lower bounds on the eccentric connectivity index of unicyclic graphs with given matching numbers.

Incidence cuts and connectivity in fuzzy incidence graphs

Fuzzy incidence graphs can be used as models for nondeterministic interconnection networks having extra node-edgerelationships. For example, ramps in a highway system may be modeled as a fuzzy incidence graph so that unexpectedflow between cities and highways can be effectively studied and controlled. Like node and edge connectivity in graphs,node connectivity and arc connectivity in fuzzy inci...

On the edge-connectivity of C_4-free graphs

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $delta(G)$.The edge-connectivity $lambda(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum numberof edges whose removal renders $G$ disconnected. It is well-known that$lambda(G) leq delta(G)$,and if $lambda(G)=delta(G)$, then$G$ is said to be maximally edge-connected. A classical resultby Chartrand gives the sufficient condition $delta(G) geq frac{n-1}{2}$fo...
