چکیده

Let P1, ..., Pk be a collection of disjoint point sets in < 2 in general position. We prove that for each 1 ≤ i ≤ k we can find a plane spanning tree Ti of Pi such that the edges of T1, ..., Tk intersect at most (k − 1)(n− k) + (k)(k−1) 2 , where n is the number of points in P1 ∪ ...∪Pk. If the intersection of the convex hulls of P1, ..., Pk is non empty, we can find k spanning cycles such that their edges intersect at most (k − 1)n times, this bound is tight. We also prove that if P and Q are disjoint point sets in general position, then the minimum weight spanning trees of P and Q intersect at most 8n times, where |P ∪ Q| = n (the weight of an edge is its length).

Optimal Self-healing of Smart Distribution Grids Based on Spanning Trees to Improve System Reliability

In this paper, a self-healing approach for smart distribution network is presented based on Graph theory and cut sets. In the proposed Graph theory based approach, the upstream grid and all the existing microgrids are modeled as a common node after fault occurrence. Thereafter, the maneuvering lines which are in the cut sets are selected as the recovery path for alternatives networks by making ...

Spanning Trees of Multicoloured Point Sets with Few Intersections

Kano et al. proved that if P0, P1, . . . , Pk−1 are pairwise disjoint collections of points in general position, then there exist spanning trees T0, T1, . . . , Tk−1, of P0, P1, . . . , Pk−1, respectively, such that the edges of T0 ∪ T1 ∪ · · · ∪ Tk−1 intersect in at most (k − 1)n − k(k − 1)/2 points. In this paper we show that this result is asymptotically tight within a factor of 3/2. To prov...

Multicolored Isomorphic Spanning Trees in Complete Graphs

In this paper, we first prove that if the edges of K2m are properly colored by 2m− 1 colors in such a way that any two colors induce a 2-factor of which each component is a 4-cycle, then K2m can be decomposed into m isomorphic multicolored spanning trees. Consequently, we show that there exist three disjoint isomorphic multicolored spanning trees in any properly (2m−1)-edge-colored K2m for m ≥ 14.

Multicolored Parallelisms of Isomorphic Spanning Trees

A subgraph in an edge-colored graph is multicolored if all its edges receive distinct colors. In this paper, we prove that a complete graph on 2m (m = 2) vertices K2m can be properly edge-colored with 2m − 1 colors in such a way that the edges of K2m can be partitioned into m multicolored isomorphic spanning trees.

On relation between the Kirchhoff index and number of spanning trees of graph

Let $G=(V,E)$, $V={1,2,ldots,n}$, $E={e_1,e_2,ldots,e_m}$,be a simple connected graph, with sequence of vertex degrees$Delta =d_1geq d_2geqcdotsgeq d_n=delta >0$ and Laplacian eigenvalues$mu_1geq mu_2geqcdotsgeqmu_{n-1}>mu_n=0$. Denote by $Kf(G)=nsum_{i=1}^{n-1}frac{1}{mu_i}$ and $t=t(G)=frac 1n prod_{i=1}^{n-1} mu_i$ the Kirchhoff index and number of spanning tree...
