The saturation number for the length of degree monotone paths
نویسندگان
چکیده
A degree monotone path in a graph G is a path P such that the sequence of degrees of the vertices in the order in which they appear on P is monotonic. The length (number of vertices) of the longest degree monotone path in G is denoted by mp(G). This parameter, inspired by the well-known ErdősSzekeres theorem, has been studied by the authors in two earlier papers. Here we consider a saturation problem for the parameter mp(G). We call G saturated if, for every edge e added to G, mp(G + e) > mp(G), and we define h(n, k) to be the least possible number of edges in a saturated graph G on n vertices with mp(G) < k, while mp(G+ e) ≥ k for every new edge e. We obtain linear lower and upper bounds for h(n, k), we determine exactly the values of h(n, k) for k = 3 and 4, and we present constructions of saturated graphs.

When the degree of saturation at intersection approaches one, Webster’s optimum cycle length equation becomes inapplicable, because the cycle length will becomes very big when the degree of saturation approaches one and will be fully unrealistic when the degree of saturation becomes greater than one. This is not a problem for HCM2000 method. But optimum cycle length calculation in this method h...
متن کاملRamsey numbers for degree monotone paths
A path v1, v2, . . . , vm in a graph G is degree-monotone if deg(v1) ≤ deg(v2) ≤ · · · ≤ deg(vm) where deg(vi) is the degree of vi in G. Longest degree-monotone paths have been studied in several recent papers. Here we consider the Ramsey type problem for degree monotone paths. Denote by Mk(m) the minimum number M such that for all n ≥ M , in any k-edge coloring of Kn there is some 1 ≤ j ≤ k su...
متن کاملMonotone Paths in Line Arrangements with a Small Number of Directions
We give subquadratic bounds on the maximum length of an x-monotone path in an arrangement of n lines with at most C log logn directions, where C is a suitable constant. For instance, the maximum length of an x-monotone path in an arrangement of n lines having at most ten slopes is O(n67=34). In particular, we get tight estimates for the case of lines having at most five directions, by showing t...

متن کاملPath Schematization for Route Sketches
Motivated from drawing route sketches, we consider the following path schematization problem. We are given a simple embedded polygonal path P = (v1, . . . , vn) and a set C of admissible edge orientations including the coordinate axes. The problem is to redraw P schematically such that all edges are drawn as line segments that are parallel to one of the specified orientations. We also require t...
