The reduction of graph families closed under contraction
نویسنده
چکیده
Let S be a family of graphs. Suppose there is a nontrivial graph H such that for any supergraph G of H, G is in S if and only if the contraction G/H is in S. Examples of such an S: graphs with a spanning closed trail; graphs with at least k edge-disjoint spanning trees; and k-edge-connected graphs (k fixed). We give a reduction method using contractions to find when a given graph is in S and to study its structure if it is not in S. This reduction method generalizes known special cases.

$Z_k$-Magic Labeling of Some Families of Graphs
For any non-trivial abelian group A under addition a graph $G$ is said to be $A$-textit{magic} if there exists a labeling $f:E(G) rightarrow A-{0}$ such that, the vertex labeling $f^+$ defined as $f^+(v) = sum f(uv)$ taken over all edges $uv$ incident at $v$ is a constant. An $A$-textit{magic} graph $G$ is said to be $Z_k$-magic graph if the group $A$ is $Z_k$ the group of integers modulo $k...
متن کاملBest Proximity Point Result for New Type of Contractions in Metric Spaces with a Graph
In this paper, we introduce a new type of graph contraction using a special class of functions and give a best proximity point theorem for this contraction in complete metric spaces endowed with a graph under two different conditions. We then support our main theorem by a non-trivial example and give some consequences of best proximity point of it for usual graphs.
متن کاملCharacterising subclasses of perfect graphs with respect to partial orders related to edge contraction
Characterising graph classes by forbidding a set of graphs has been a common feature in graph theory for many years. Up to date many classes have been char-acterised with respect to the induced subgraph relation and there are a plethora of results regarding graph classes closed under the minor relation. We consider the characterisation of graph classes closed under partial orders including edge...
متن کاملCommon fixed point of multivalued graph contraction in metric spaces
In this paper, we introduce the (G-$psi$) contraction in a metric space by using a graph. Let $F,T$ be two multivalued mappings on $X.$ Among other things, we obtain a common fixed point of the mappings $F,T$ in the metric space $X$ endowed with a graph $G.$
متن کاملSome Fixed Point Theorems for Generalized Contractions in Metric Spaces with a Graph
Jachymski [ Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 136 (2008), 1359-1373] gave modified version of a Banach fixed point theorem on a metric space endowed with a graph. In the present paper, (G, Φ)-graphic contractions have been de ned by using a comparison function and studied the existence of fixed points. Also, Hardy-Rogers G-contraction have been introduced and some fixed point theorems have been proved. S...
