چکیده

How small can a graph be that contains as subgraphs all trees on n vertices with maximum degree d? In this paper, this question is answered by constructing such universal graphs that have n vertices and bounded degree (depending only on d). Universal graphs with n vertices and O(n log n) edges are also constructed that contain all bounded-degree planar graphs on n vertices as subgraphs. In general, it is shown that the minimum universal graph containing all bounded-degree graphs on n vertices with separators of size n has O(n) edges if a < 1/2; O(n log n) edges if a 1/2; O(n2.) edges if a > 1/2.

Labeling Schemes for Bounded Degree Graphs

We investigate adjacency labeling schemes for graphs of bounded degree ∆ = O(1). In particular, we present an optimal (up to an additive constant) log n+ O(1) adjacency labeling scheme for bounded degree trees. The latter scheme is derived from a labeling scheme for bounded degree outerplanar graphs. Our results complement a similar bound recently obtained for bounded depth trees [Fraigniaud an...

Covering planar graphs with forests

We study the problem of covering graphs with trees and a graph of bounded maximum degree. By a classical theorem of Nash-Williams, every planar graph can be covered by three trees. We show that every planar graph can be covered by two trees and a forest, and the maximum degree of the forest is at most 8. Stronger results are obtained for some special classes of planar graphs.

On the M-polynomial of planar chemical graphs

Let $G$ be a graph and let $m_{i,j}(G)$, $i,jge 1$, be the number of edges $uv$ of $G$ such that ${d_v(G), d_u(G)} = {i,j}$. The $M$-polynomial of $G$ is $M(G;x,y) = sum_{ile j} m_{i,j}(G)x^iy^j$. With $M(G;x,y)$ in hands, numerous degree-based topological indices of $G$ can be routinely computed. In this note a formula for the $M$-polynomial of planar (chemical) graphs which have only vertices...

On the Structure of Graphs with Large Minimum Bisection

Bounded degree trees and bounded degree planar graphs on n vertices are known to admit bisections of width O(logn) and O( √ n), respectively. We investigate the structure of graphs that meet this bound. In particular, we show that such a tree must have diameter O(n/ logn) and such a planar graph must have tree width Ω( √ n). To show the result for trees, we derive an inequality that relates the...
