چکیده

Let H = {A1, . . . , An, B1, . . . , Bn} be a collection of 2n subgraphs of the complete bipartite graph Kn,n. The collection H is called an orthogonal double cover (ODC) of Kn,n if each edge of Kn,n occurs in exactly two of the graphs in H; E(Ai) ∩ E(Aj) = φ = E(Bi) ∩ E(Bj) for every i, j ∈ {1, . . . , n} with i = j, and for any i, j ∈ {1, . . . , n}, |E(Ai)∩E(Bj)| = 1. If Ai ∼= G ∼= Bi for all i ∈ {1, . . . , n}, then H is called an ODC of Kn,n by G. In this paper, we establish a product construction for ODCs of complete bipartite graphs.

On Cartesian Products of Orthogonal Double Covers

Let H be a graph on n vertices and G a collection of n subgraphs of H, one for each vertex, where G is an orthogonal double cover (ODC) of H if every edge of H occurs in exactly two members of G and any two members share an edge whenever the corresponding vertices are adjacent in H and share no edges whenever the corresponding vertices are nonadjacent in H. In this paper, we are concerned with ...

A note on orthogonal double covers of complete bipartite graphs by a special class of six caterpillars

We construct orthogonal double covers of Kn,n by Pm+1 ∪∗ Sn−m, where n and m are integers, 2 ≤ m ≤ 10, m ≤ n and Pm+1 ∪∗ Sn−m is a tree obtained from the path Pm+1 with m edges and a star Sn−m with n − m edges by identifying an end-vertex of Pm+1 with the center of Sn−m.

General Symmetric Starter of Orthogonal Double Covers of Complete Bipartite Graph

An orthogonal double cover (ODC) of the complete graph is a collection of graphs such that every two of them share exactly one edge and every edge of the complete graph belongs to exactly two of the graphs. In this paper, we consider the case where the graph to be covered twice is the complete bipartite graph Kmn,mn (for any values ofm,n) and all graphs in the collection are isomorphic to certa...

General Cyclic Orthogonal Double Covers of Finite Regular Circulant Graphs

An orthogonal double cover (ODC) of a graph H is a collection ( ) { } v G v V H : = ∈  of ( ) V H subgraphs (pages) of H, so that they cover every edge of H twice and the intersection of any two of them contains exactly one edge. An ODC  of H is cyclic (CODC) if the cyclic group of order ( ) V H is a subgroup of the automorphism group of  . In this paper, we introduce a general orthogonal la...

META-HEURISTIC ALGORITHMS FOR MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF CROSSING OF COMPLETE GRAPHS AND COMPLETE BIPARTITE GRAPHS

The minimum crossing number problem is among the oldest and most fundamental problems arising in the area of automatic graph drawing. In this paper, eight population-based meta-heuristic algorithms are utilized to tackle the minimum crossing number problem for two special types of graphs, namely complete graphs and complete bipartite graphs. A 2-page book drawing representation is employed for ...
