چکیده

A circuit cover of an edge-weighted graph (G, p) is a multiset of circuits in G such that every edge e is contained in exactly p(e) circuits in the multiset. A nonnegative integer valued weight vector p is admissible if the total weight of any edge-cut is even, and no edge has more than half the total weight of any edge-cut containing it. A graph G has the circuit cover property if (G, p) has a circuit cover for every admissible weight vector p . We prove that a graph has the circuit cover property if and only if it contains no subgraph homeomorphic to Petersen's graph. In particular, every 2-edge-connected graph with no subgraph homeomorphic to Petersen's graph has a cycle double cover.

Cohen-Macaulay $r$-partite graphs with minimal clique cover

‎In this paper‎, ‎we give some necessary conditions for an $r$-partite graph such that the edge ring of the graph is Cohen-Macaulay‎. ‎It is proved that if there exists a cover of an $r$-partite Cohen-Macaulay graph by disjoint cliques of size $r$‎, ‎then such a cover is unique‎.

ON THE EDGE COVER POLYNOMIAL OF CERTAIN GRAPHS

Let $G$ be a simple graph of order $n$ and size $m$.The edge covering of $G$ is a set of edges such that every vertex of $G$ is incident to at least one edge of the set. The edge cover polynomial of $G$ is the polynomial$E(G,x)=sum_{i=rho(G)}^{m} e(G,i) x^{i}$,where $e(G,i)$ is the number of edge coverings of $G$ of size $i$, and$rho(G)$ is the edge covering number of $G$. In this paper we stud...

Detour Monophonic Graphoidal Covering Number of Corona Product Graph of Some Standard Graphs with the Wheel

A chord of a path $P$ is an edge joining two non-adjacent vertices of $P$. A path  $P$ is called a monophonic path if it is a chordless path. A longest $x-y$ monophonic path is called an $x-y$ detour monophonic path. A  detour monophonic graphoidal cover of a graph $G$ is a collection $psi_{dm}$ of detour monophonic paths in $G$ such that every vertex of $G$ is an internal vertex  of at most on...

Bounding cochordal cover number of graphs via vertex stretching

It is shown that when a special vertex stretching is applied to a graph, the cochordal cover number of the graph increases exactly by one, as it happens to its induced matching number and (Castelnuovo-Mumford) regularity. As a consequence, it is shown that the induced matching number and cochordal cover number of a special vertex stretching of a graph G are equal provided G is well-covered bipa...

Sparsity and dimension

We prove that posets of bounded height whose cover graphs belong to a fixed class with bounded expansion have bounded dimension. Bounded expansion, introduced by Nešetřil and Ossona de Mendez as a model for sparsity in graphs, is a property that is naturally satisfied by a wide range of graph classes, from graph structure theory (graphs excluding a minor or a topological minor) to graph drawing...
