Graph Powers

چکیده
The investigation of the asymptotic behaviour of various parameters of powers of a fixed graph leads to many fascinating problems, some of which are motivated by questions in information theory, communication complexity, geometry and Ramsey theory. In this survey we discuss these problems and describe the techniques used in their study which combine combinatorial, geometric, probabilistic and linear-algebra tools.

Domination number of graph fractional powers
For any $k in mathbb{N}$, the $k$-subdivision of graph $G$ is a simple graph $G^{frac{1}{k}}$, which is constructed by replacing each edge of $G$ with a path of length $k$. In [Moharram N. Iradmusa, On colorings of graph fractional powers, Discrete Math., (310) 2010, No. 10-11, 1551-1556] the $m$th power of the $n$-subdivision of $G$ has been introduced as a fractional power of $G$, denoted by ...
متن کاملThe upper domatic number of powers of graphs
Let $A$ and $B$ be two disjoint subsets of the vertex set $V$ of a graph $G$. The set $A$ is said to dominate $B$, denoted by $A rightarrow B$, if for every vertex $u in B$ there exists a vertex $v in A$ such that $uv in E(G)$. For any graph $G$, a partition $pi = {V_1,$ $V_2,$ $ldots,$ $V_p}$ of the vertex set $V$ is an textit{upper domatic partition} if $V_i rightarrow V_j$ or $V_j rightarrow...
متن کاملOn Powers of Some Graph Operations
Let $G*H$ be the product $*$ of $G$ and $H$. In this paper we determine the rth power of the graph $G*H$ in terms of $G^r, H^r$ and $G^r*H^r$, when $*$ is the join, Cartesian, symmetric difference, disjunctive, composition, skew and corona product. Then we solve the equation $(G*H)^r=G^r*H^r$. We also compute the Wiener index and Wiener polarity index of the skew product.
متن کاملDistinguishing number and distinguishing index of natural and fractional powers of graphs
The distinguishing number (resp. index) $D(G)$ ($D'(G)$) of a graph $G$ is the least integer $d$ such that $G$ has an vertex labeling (resp. edge labeling) with $d$ labels that is preserved only by a trivial automorphism. For any $n in mathbb{N}$, the $n$-subdivision of $G$ is a simple graph $G^{frac{1}{n}}$ which is constructed by replacing each edge of $G$ with a path of length $n$...
متن کاملAn upper bound for the regularity of powers of edge ideals
A recent result due to Ha and Van Tuyl proved that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the quotient ring $R/I(G)$ is at most matching number of $G$, denoted by match$(G)$. In this paper, we provide a generalization of this result for powers of edge ideals. More precisely, we show that for every graph $G$ and every $sgeq 1$, $${rm reg}( R/ I(G)^{s})leq (2s-1) |E(G)|^{s-1} {rm ma...
متن کاملOn bipartite powers of bigraphs
The notion of graph powers is a well-studied topic in graph theory and its applications. In this paper, we investigate a bipartite analogue of graph powers, which we call bipartite powers of bigraphs. We show that the classes of bipartite permutation graphs and interval bigraphs are closed under taking bipartite power. We also show that the problem of recognizing bipartite powers is NP-complete...
