Graph homomorphism has been studied intensively. Given an m ×m symmetric matrix A, the graph homomorphism function is defined as

In this talk we will discuss some examples of graph homomorphisms. More precisely, the graph parameters which can be represented by counting the graph homomorphisms. The main reference is Section 2 in [2].

For a graph G, let     max : is an edge cut of b G D D G  . For graphs G and H, a map     :V G V H   is a graph homomorphism if for each   e uv E G   ,       u v E H    . In 1979, Erdös proved by probabilistic methods that for p ≥ 2 with

We show that if a graph H is k-colorable, then (k−1)-branching walks on H exhibit long range action, in the sense that the position of a token at time 0 constrains the configuration of its descendents arbitrarily far into the future. This long range action property is one of several investigated herein; all are similar in some respects to chromatic number but based on viewing H as the range, in...

We show that for every binary matroid $N$ there is a graph $H_*$ such the graphic $M_G$ of $G$, matroid-homomorphism from to if and only graph-homomorphism $G$ $H_*$. With this we prove complexity dichotomy problem $\rm{Hom}_\mathbb{M}(N)$ deciding $M$ admits homomorphism $N$. The polynomial time solvable has loop or no circuits odd length, otherwise $\rm{NP}$-complete. also get dichotomies lis...

For every pair of nite connected graphs F and H, and every integer k, we construct a universal graph U with the following properties: 1. There is a homomorphism : U ! H, but no homomorphism from F to U . 2. For every graph G with maximal degree no more than k having a homomorphism h : G! H, but no homomorphism from F to G, there is a homomorphism : G! U , such that h = . Particularly, this solv...

For any two graphs F and G, let hom(F,G) denote the number of homomorphisms F → G, that is, adjacency preserving maps V (F ) → V (G) (graphs may have loops but no multiple edges).

Following the last talk on graph homomorphisms, we continue to discuss some examples of graph homomorphisms. But this time we will focus on some models, that is, the homomorphism G → H for the graph H with fixed weights. The main reference is Section 1 in [2].

Let Gn,k denote the Kneser graph whose vertices are the n-element subsets of a (2n + k)-element set and whose edges are the disjoint pairs. In this paper we prove that for any non-negative integer s there is no graph homomorphism from G4,2 to G4s+1,2s+1. This confirms a conjecture of Stahl in a special case.
