We prove that a graph has an r-bounded subdivision of wheel if and only it does not have graph-decomposition locality r width at most two.

The aim of this work is to investigate the F-index and F-coindex of the line graphs of the cycle graphs, star graphs, tadpole graphs, wheel graphs and ladder graphs using the subdivision concepts. F-index of the line graph of subdivision graph of square grid graph, 2D-lattice, nanotube and nanotorus of TUC4C8[p, q] are also investigated here.

Mader conjectured that every C4-free graph has a subdivision of a clique of order linear in its average degree. We show that every C6-free graph has such a subdivision of a large clique. We also prove the dense case of Mader’s conjecture in a stronger sense, i.e. for every c, there is a c′ such that every C4-free graph with average degree cn 1/2 has a subdivision of a clique K` with ` = bc′n1/2...

This is best possible in the sense that we cannot additionally require the entire bipartite subgraph of G between S and T to have large minimum degree. Applying the result of Mader that every graph of sufficiently large average degree contains a subdivision of a given graph H to the graph G[S] obtained by the above theorem, it immediately follows that every highly connected graph G contains a “...

A k-stack layout (respectively, k-queue layout) of a graph consists of a total order of the vertices, and a partition of the edges into k sets of non-crossing (non-nested) edges with respect to the vertex ordering. A k-track layout of a graph consists of a vertex k-colouring, and a total order of each vertex colour class, such that between each pair of colour classes no two edges cross. The sta...

The rainbow game domination subdivision number of a graph G is defined by the following game. Two players D and A, D playing first, alternately mark or subdivide an edge of G which is not yet marked nor subdivided. The game ends when all the edges of G are marked or subdivided and results in a new graph G′. The purpose of D is to minimize the 2-rainbow dominating number γr2(G ′) of G′ while A t...
