An Implicit Degree Condition for Cyclability in Graphs

چکیده
A vertex subset X of a graph G is said to be cyclable in G if there is a cycle in G containing all vertices of X. Ore [6] showed that the vertex set of G with cardinality n ≥ 3 is cyclable (i.e. G is hamiltonian) if the degree sum of any pair of nonadjacent vertices in G is at least n. Shi [8] and Ota [7] respectively generalized Ore’s result by considering the cyclability of any vertex subset X of G under Ore type condition. Flandrin et al. [4] in 2005 extended Shi’s conclusion under the condition called regional Ore′s condition. Zhu, Li and Deng [10] introduced the definition of implicit degrees of vertices. In this work, we generalize the result of Flandrin et al. under their type condition with implicit degree sums. More precisely, we obtain that X is cyclable in a k-connected graph G if the implicit degree sum of any pair of nonadjacent vertices u, v ∈ Xi is at least the order of G, where each Xi, i = 1, 2, · · · , k is a vertex subset of G and X = ⋃k i=1 Xi. In [10], the authors demonstrated that the implicit degree of a vertex is at least the degree of the vertex. Hence our result is better than the result of Flandrin et al. in some way.

Set-orderedness as a generalization of k-orderedness and cyclability
A graph G is called k-ordered if for any sequence of k distinct vertices of G, there exists a cycle in G through these vertices in the order. A vertex set S is called cyclable in G if there exists a cycle passing through all vertices of S. We will define “set-orderedness” which is a natural generalization of k-orderedness and cyclability. We also give a degree sum condition for graphs to satisf...
متن کاملCyclability in Bipartite Graphs
Let G = (X, Y ; E) be a balanced 2-connected bipartite graph and S ⊂ V(G). We will say that S is cyclable in G if all vertices of S belong to a common cycle in G. We give sufficient degree conditions in a balanced bipartite graph G and a subset S ⊂ V(G) for the cyclability of the set S.
متن کاملOn the edge-connectivity of C_4-free graphs
Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $delta(G)$.The edge-connectivity $lambda(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum numberof edges whose removal renders $G$ disconnected. It is well-known that$lambda(G) leq delta(G)$,and if $lambda(G)=delta(G)$, then$G$ is said to be maximally edge-connected. A classical resultby Chartrand gives the sufficient condition $delta(G) geq frac{n-1}{2}$fo...
متن کاملTenacity and rupture degree parameters for trapezoid graphs
Reliability of networks is an important issue in the field of graph and network. Computation of network vulnerability parameters is NP-complete for popular network topologies such as tree, Mesh, Cube, etc.In this paper, we will show that the tenacity and rupture degree parameters for trapezoid graphs can be computed in polynomial time.
