Feedback vertex sets in star graphs

چکیده
In a graph G= (V ,E), a subset F ⊂ V (G) is a feedback vertex set of G if the subgraph induced by V (G) \ F is acyclic. In this paper, we propose an algorithm for finding a small feedback vertex set of a star graph. Indeed, our algorithm can derive an upper bound to the size of the feedback vertex set for star graphs. Also by applying the properties of regular graphs, a lower bound can easily be achieved for star graphs. 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Strength of strongest dominating sets in fuzzy graphs
A set S of vertices in a graph G=(V,E) is a dominating set ofG if every vertex of V-S is adjacent to some vertex of S.For an integer k≥1, a set S of vertices is a k-step dominating set if any vertex of $G$ is at distance k from somevertex of S. In this paper, using membership values of vertices and edges in fuzzy graphs, we introduce the concepts of strength of strongestdominating set as well a...
متن کاملJust chromatic exellence in fuzzy graphs
A fuzzy graph is a symmetric binary fuzzy relation on a fuzzy subset. The concept of fuzzy sets and fuzzy relations was introduced by L.A.Zadeh in 1965cite{zl} and further studiedcite{ka}. It was Rosenfeldcite{ra} who considered fuzzy relations on fuzzy sets and developed the theory of fuzzy graphs in 1975. The concepts of fuzzy trees, blocks, bridges and cut nodes in fuzzy graph has been studi...
متن کاملSplice Graphs and their Vertex-Degree-Based Invariants
Let G_1 and G_2 be simple connected graphs with disjoint vertex sets V(G_1) and V(G_2), respectively. For given vertices a_1in V(G_1) and a_2in V(G_2), a splice of G_1 and G_2 by vertices a_1 and a_2 is defined by identifying the vertices a_1 and a_2 in the union of G_1 and G_2. In this paper, we present exact formulas for computing some vertex-degree-based graph invariants of splice of graphs.
متن کاملThe spectrum of the hyper-star graphs and their line graphs
Let n 1 be an integer. The hypercube Qn is the graph whose vertex set isf0;1gn, where two n-tuples are adjacent if they differ in precisely one coordinate. This graph has many applications in Computer sciences and other area of sciences. Inthe graph Qn, the layer Lk is the set of vertices with exactly k 1’s, namely, vertices ofweight k, 1 k n. The hyper-star graph B(n;k) is...
متن کاملMaximum Number of Minimal Feedback Vertex Sets in Chordal Graphs and Cographs
A feedback vertex set in a graph is a set of vertices whose removal leaves the remaining graph acyclic. Given the vast number of published results concerning feedback vertex sets, it is surprising that the related combinatorics appears to be so poorly understood. The maximum number of minimal feedback vertex sets in a graph on n vertices is known to be at most 1.864. However, no examples of gra...
