Cycles in graphs with large independence ratio

چکیده
where α(X) is the independence number of the subgraph of G induced by X. The independence ratio is a relaxation of the chromatic number χ(G) in the sense that χ(G) ≥ ι(G) for every graph G, while for many natural classes of graphs these quantities are almost equal. In this paper, we address two old conjectures of Erdős on cycles in graphs with large chromatic number and a conjecture of Erdős and Hajnal on graphs with infinite chromatic number.

Asteroidal number for some product graphs
The notion of Asteroidal triples was introduced by Lekkerkerker and Boland [6]. D.G.Corneil and others [2], Ekkehard Kohler [3] further investigated asteroidal triples. Walter generalized the concept of asteroidal triples to asteroidal sets [8]. Further study was carried out by Haiko Muller [4]. In this paper we find asteroidal numbers for Direct product of cycles, Direct product of path and cy...
متن کاملGraphs with large chromatic number induce $3k$-cycles
Answering a question of Kalai and Meshulam, we prove that graphs without induced cycles of length 3k have bounded chromatic number. This implies the very first case of a much broader question asserting that every graph with large chromatic number induces a graph H such that the sum of the Betti numbers of the independence complex of H is also large.
متن کاملIndependence Number and Disjoint Theta Graphs
The goal of this paper is to find vertex disjoint even cycles in graphs. For this purpose, define a θ-graph to be a pair of vertices u, v with three internally disjoint paths joining u to v. Given an independence number α and a fixed integer k, the results contained in this paper provide sharp bounds on the order f(k, α) of a graph with independence number α(G) ≤ α which contains no k disjoint ...
متن کامل0n 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...
متن کاملVertex Removable Cycles of Graphs and Digraphs
In this paper we defined the vertex removable cycle in respect of the following, if $F$ is a class of graphs(digraphs) satisfying certain property, $G in F $, the cycle $C$ in $G$ is called vertex removable if $G-V(C)in in F $. The vertex removable cycles of eulerian graphs are studied. We also characterize the edge removable cycles of regular graphs(digraphs).
