چکیده

A graph is normal if there exists a cross-intersecting pair of set families one of which consists of cliques while the other one consists of stable sets, and furthermore every vertex is obtained as one of these intersections. It is known that perfect graphs are normal while Cs, CT. and (_: are not. We conjecture that these three graphs are the only minimally not normal graphs. We give sufficient conditions for a graph to be normal and WC characterize those normal graphs that are triangle-free.

0n removable cycles in graphs and digraphs

In this paper we define the removable cycle that, if $Im$ is a class of graphs, $Gin Im$, the cycle $C$ in $G$ is called removable if $G-E(C)in Im$. The removable cycles in Eulerian graphs have been studied. We characterize Eulerian graphs which contain two edge-disjoint removable cycles, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for Eulerian graph to have removable cycles h...

Further results on odd mean labeling of some subdivision graphs

Let G(V,E) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. A graph G is said to have an odd mean labeling if there exists a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2,...,2q - 1} satisfying f is 1 - 1 and the induced map f* : E(G) → {1, 3, 5,...,2q - 1} defined by f*(uv) = (f(u) + f(v))/2 if f(u) + f(v) is evenf*(uv) = (f(u) + f(v) + 1)/2 if f(u) + f(v) is odd is a bijection. A graph that admits an odd mean labelin...

Skolem Odd Difference Mean Graphs

In this paper we define a new labeling called skolem odd difference mean labeling and investigate skolem odd difference meanness of some standard graphs. Let G = (V,E) be a graph with p vertices and q edges. G is said be skolem odd difference mean if there exists a function f : V (G) → {0, 1, 2, 3, . . . , p + 3q − 3} satisfying f is 1−1 and the induced map f : E(G) → {1, 3, 5, . . . , 2q−1} de...

On list vertex 2-arboricity of toroidal graphs without cycles of specific length

The vertex arboricity $rho(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the minimum number of subsets into which the vertex set $V(G)$ can be partitioned so that each subset induces an acyclic graph‎. ‎A graph $G$ is called list vertex $k$-arborable if for any set $L(v)$ of cardinality at least $k$ at each vertex $v$ of $G$‎, ‎one can choose a color for each $v$ from its list $L(v)$ so that the subgraph induced by ev...

A simpler proof for the two disjoint odd cycles theorem

We give a short proof of the two disjoint odd cycles theorem which characterizes graphs without two vertex-disjoint odd cycles. Our proof does not depend on any matroid result. It only uses the two paths theorem, which characterizes graphs without two disjoint paths with specified ends (i.e, 2-linked graphs).

Families of strongly projective graphs

We give several characterisations of strongly projective graphs which generalise in many respects odd cycles and complete graphs [7]. We prove that all known families of projective graphs contain only strongly projective graphs, including complete graphs, odd cycles, Kneser graphs and non-bipartite distance-transitive graphs of diameter d ≥ 3.
