چکیده

Let graph G = (V,E) and integer b ≥ 1 be given. A set S ⊆ V is said to be b-independent if u, v ∈ S implies dG(u, v) > b where dG(u, v) is the shortest distance between u and v in G. The b-independence number αb(G) is the size of the largest b-independent subset of G. When b = 1 this reduces to the standard definition of independence number. We study this parameter in relation to the random graph Gn,p, p = d/n. In particular, when d is a large constant. We show that whp that if d ≥ dǫ,b,

Largest sparse subgraphs of random graphs

For the Erdős-Rényi random graph Gn,p, we give a precise asymptotic formula for the size α̂t(Gn,p) of a largest vertex subset inGn,p that induces a subgraph with average degree at most t, provided that p = p(n) is not too small and t = t(n) is not too large. In the case of fixed t and p, we find that this value is asymptotically almost surely concentrated on at most two explicitly given points. ...

Upper Tails and Independence Polynomials in Random Graphs

The upper tail problem in the Erdős–Rényi random graph G ∼ Gn,p asks to estimate the probability that the number of copies of a graph H in G exceeds its expectation by a factor 1 + δ. Chatterjee and Dembo showed that in the sparse regime of p→ 0 as n→∞ with p ≥ n−α for an explicit α = αH > 0, this problem reduces to a natural variational problem on weighted graphs, which was thereafter asymptot...

INDEPENDENT SETS OF SOME GRAPHS ASSOCIATED TO COMMUTATIVE RINGS

Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. A set $Ssubseteq V$ isindependent set of $G$,  if no two vertices of $S$ are adjacent.The  independence number $alpha(G)$ is the size of a maximumindependent set in the graph. In this paper we study and characterize the independent sets ofthe zero-divisor graph $Gamma(R)$ and ideal-based zero-divisor graph $Gamma_I(R)$of a commutative ring $R$.

Independence numbers of locally sparse graphs and a Ramsey type problem

Let G = (V,E) be a graph on n vertices with average degree t ≥ 1 in which for every vertex v ∈ V the induced subgraph on the set of all neighbors of v is r-colorable. We show that the independence number of G is at least c log (r+1) n t log t, for some absolute positive constant c. This strengthens a well known result of Ajtai, Komlós and Szemerédi. Combining their result with some probabilisti...

Coverings, matchings and paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs

The concepts of covering and matching in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs are introduced and obtained the relationship between them analogous to Gallai’s results in graphs. The notion of paired domination in fuzzy graphs using strong arcs is also studied. The strong paired domination number γspr of complete fuzzy graph and complete bipartite fuzzy graph is determined and obtained bounds for the s...
