چکیده

Let G be a simple graph having a maximum matching M. The deficiency def(G) of G is the number of M-unsaturated vertices in G. A problem that arises is that of determining the set of possible values of def(G). In this paper we present a solution for the case of r-regular k-edge-connected graphs. 1. INTRODUCTION In this paper the graphs are finite, loopless and have no multiple edges. For the most part our notation and terminology follow Bondy and Murty [3]. Thus G is a graph with vertex set V(G), edge set E(G), v(G) vertices and e(G) edges. However we denote the complement of G by G.

On Total Edge Irregularity Strength of Staircase Graphs and Related Graphs

Let G=(V(G),E(G)) be a connected simple undirected graph with non empty vertex set V(G) and edge set E(G). For a positive integer k, by an edge irregular total k-labeling we mean a function f : V(G)UE(G) --> {1,2,...,k} such that for each two edges ab and cd, it follows that f(a)+f(ab)+f(b) is different from f(c)+f(cd)+f(d), i.e. every two edges have distinct weights. The minimum k for which G ...

Sufficient conditions for maximally edge-connected and super-edge-connected

Let $G$ be a connected graph with minimum degree $delta$ and edge-connectivity $lambda$. A graph ismaximally edge-connected if $lambda=delta$, and it is super-edge-connected if every minimum edge-cut istrivial; that is, if every minimum edge-cut consists of edges incident with a vertex of minimum degree.In this paper, we show that a connected graph or a connected triangle-free graph is maximall...

On the Minimum Number of Spanning Trees in k-Edge-Connected Graphs

We show that a k-edge-connected graph on n vertices has at least n(k/2)n−1 spanning trees. This bound is tight if k is even and the extremal graph is the n-cycle with edge-multiplicities k/2. For k odd, however, there is a lower bound cn−1 k where ck > k/2. Specifically, c3 > 1.77 and c5 > 2.75. Not surprisingly, c3 is smaller than the corresponding number for 4-edge-connected graphs. Examples ...
