چکیده

Let Cm and Sm denote a cycle and a star on m edges, respectively. We investigate the decomposition of the complete graphs, Kn, into cycles and stars on the same number of edges. We give an algorithm that determines values of n, for a given value of m, where Kn is {Cm, Sm}-decomposable. We show that the obvious necessary condition is sufficient for such decompositions to exist for different values of m.

On the reliability wiener number

One of the generalizations of the Wiener number to weighted graphs is to assign probabilities to edges, meaning that in nonstatic conditions the edge is present only with some probability. The Reliability Wiener number is defined as the sum of reliabilities among pairs of vertices, where the reliability of a pair is the reliability of the most reliable path. Closed expressions are derived for t...

A Fast Algorithm for Covering Rectangular Orthogonal Polygons with a Minimum Number of r-Stars

Introduction This paper presents an algorithm for covering orthogonal polygons with minimal number of guards. This idea examines the minimum number of guards for orthogonal simple polygons (without holes) for all scenarios and can also find a rectangular area for each guards. We consider the problem of covering orthogonal polygons with a minimum number of r-stars. In each orthogonal polygon P,...

A note on uniformly resolvable decompositions of Kv and Kv-I into 2-stars and 4-cycles

In this paper we consider the uniformly resolvable decomposition of the complete graph Kv, or the complete graph minus a 1-factor Kv − I, into two graphs such that each resolution class contains only blocks isomorphic to the same graph. We completely solve the case in which the resolution classes are either all 2-stars or 4-cycles.

On the Wiener Index of Some Edge Deleted Graphs

The sum of distances between all the pairs of vertices in a connected graph is known as the {it Wiener index} of the graph. In this paper, we obtain the Wiener index of edge complements of stars, complete subgraphs and cycles in $K_n$.
