A Note on Mixed Graphs and Matroids
نویسنده
چکیده
A mixed graph is a graph with some directed edges and some undirected edges. We introduce the notion of mixed matroids as a generalization of mixed graphs. A mixed matroid can be viewed as an oriented matroid in which the signs over a fixed subset of the ground set have been forgotten. We extend to mixed matroids standard definitions from oriented matroids, establish basic properties, and study questions regarding the reorientations of the unsigned elements. In particular we address in the context of mixed matroids the P -connectivity and P -orientability issues which have been recently introduced for mixed graphs.

Structural properties of fuzzy graphs
Matroids are important combinatorial structures and connect close-lywith graphs. Matroids and graphs were all generalized to fuzzysetting respectively. This paper tries to study connections betweenfuzzy matroids and fuzzy graphs. For a given fuzzy graph, we firstinduce a sequence of matroids from a sequence of crisp graph, i.e.,cuts of the fuzzy graph. A fuzzy matroid, named graph fuzzy matro...
متن کاملEnergy of Graphs, Matroids and Fibonacci Numbers
The energy E(G) of a graph G is the sum of the absolute values of the eigenvalues of G. In this article we consider the problem whether generalized Fibonacci constants $varphi_n$ $(ngeq 2)$ can be the energy of graphs. We show that $varphi_n$ cannot be the energy of graphs. Also we prove that all natural powers of $varphi_{2n}$ cannot be the energy of a matroid.
متن کاملA note on packing spanning trees in graphs and bases in matroids
We consider the class of graphs for which the edge connectivity is equal to the maximum number of edge-disjoint spanning trees, and the natural generalization to matroids, where the cogirth is equal to the number of disjoint bases. We provide descriptions of such graphs and matroids, showing that such a graph (or matroid) has a unique decomposition. In the case of graphs, our results are releva...
متن کاملA note on vague graphs
In this paper, we introduce the notions of product vague graph, balanced product vague graph, irregularity and total irregularity of any irregular vague graphs and some results are presented. Also, density and balanced irregular vague graphs are discussed and some of their properties are established. Finally we give an application of vague digraphs.
متن کاملA Note on Tensor Product of Graphs
Let $G$ and $H$ be graphs. The tensor product $Gotimes H$ of $G$ and $H$ has vertex set $V(Gotimes H)=V(G)times V(H)$ and edge set $E(Gotimes H)={(a,b)(c,d)| acin E(G):: and:: bdin E(H)}$. In this paper, some results on this product are obtained by which it is possible to compute the Wiener and Hyper Wiener indices of $K_n otimes G$.
