چکیده

A biclique of a graph G is a maximal induced complete bipartite subgraph of G. The biclique graph of G denoted by KB(G), is the intersection graph of all the bicliques of G. The biclique graph can be thought as an operator between the class of all graphs. The iterated biclique graph of G denoted by KBk(G), is the graph obtained by applying the biclique operator k successive times to G. The associated problem is deciding whether an input graph converges, diverges or is periodic under the biclique operator when k grows to infinity. All possible behaviors were characterized recently and an O(n4) algorithm for deciding the behavior of any graph under the biclique operator was also given. In this work we prove new structural results of biclique graphs. In particular, we prove that every false-twin-free graph with at least 13 vertices is divergent. These results lead to a linear time algorithm to solve the same problem.

The number of convergent graphs under the biclique operator with no twin vertices is finite

The biclique graph of G, KB(G), is the intersection graph of the bicliques of G. Given a graph G, the iterated biclique graph of G, KBk(G), is the graph defined iteratively as follows: KBk+1(G) = KB(KBk(G)). Say that a graph G diverges (resp. converges) under the operator KB whenever limk→∞ |V (KBk(G))| = ∞ (resp. limk→∞KB(G) = KBm(G) for some m). Each of these behaviours were recently characte...

Star and Biclique Coloring and Choosability

A biclique of a graph G is an induced complete bipartite graph. A star of G is a biclique contained in the closed neighborhood of a vertex. A star (biclique) k-coloring of G is a k-coloring of G that contains no monochromatic maximal stars (bicliques). Similarly, for a list assignment L of G, a star (biclique) L-coloring is an L-coloring of G in which no maximal star (biclique) is monochromatic...

Recognition by prime graph of the almost simple group PGL(2, 25)

Throughout this paper, every groups are finite. The prime graph of a group $G$ is denoted by $Gamma(G)$. Also $G$ is called recognizable by prime graph if for every finite group $H$ with $Gamma(H) = Gamma(G)$, we conclude that $Gcong H$. Until now, it is proved that if $k$ is an odd number and $p$ is an odd prime number, then $PGL(2,p^k)$ is recognizable by prime graph. So if $k$ is even, the r...

Biclique Covers and Partitions

The biclique cover number (resp. biclique partition number) of a graph G, bc(G) (resp. bp(G)), is the least number of bicliques—complete bipartite subgraphs—that are needed to cover (resp. partition) the edges of G. The local biclique cover number (resp. local biclique partition number) of a graph G, lbc(G) (resp. lbp(G)), is the least r such that there is a cover (resp. partition) of the edges...

Hereditary biclique-Helly graphs: recognition and maximal biclique enumeration

A biclique is a set of vertices that induce a bipartite complete graph. A graph G is biclique-Helly when its family of maximal bicliques satisfies the Helly property. If every induced subgraph of G is also biclique-Helly, then G is hereditary biclique-Helly. A graph is C4-dominated when every cycle of length 4 contains a vertex that is dominated by the vertex of the cycle that is not adjacent t...
