  1. PDF Contributions to Graph Theory

    This thesis is the result of research between January 2002 and February 2005 in three topics of graph theory, namely: spanning 2-connected subgraphs of some classes of grid graphs, Ramsey numbers for paths versus other graphs, and λ-backbone colorings. The papers that together underlay this thesis are listed below. Publications in refereed ...

  5. PDF Two Problems in Graph Theory

    In the thesis we study two topics in graph theory. The first one is concerned with the famous conjecture of Hadwiger that every graph G without a minor of a complete graph on t +1 vertices can be coloured with t colours. We investigate how large an induced subgraph of G can be, so that the subgraph can be coloured with t colours.

  7. PDF Graph Structure and Coloring

    The major part of the thesis will be about with structural graph theory. Structural graph theory tries to understand families of graphs. When someone studies a particular problem, it is generally possible to characterize some properties of the underlying family of graphs. One of our main goals is to understand what are the basic graphs in a

  8. PDF The Graph Reconstruction Conjecture: Some New Results and Observations

    A vertex-deleted subgraph (or simply a card) of graph G is an induced sub-graph of G containing all but one of its vertices. The deck of G is the multiset of its cards. One of the best-known unanswered questions of graph theory asks whether G can be reconstructed in a unique way (up to isomorphism) from its deck.

  9. On the Reconstruction Problem in Graph Theory

    The thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter introduces the basic notions of graph theory and defines vertex-reconstruction and edge-reconstruction problem. The second chapter and third chapter are devoted to the edge-reconstruction of bi-degreed graphs and bipartite graphs respectively. A bi-degreed graph G is a graph with two degrees d > δ.

  15. Domination in Graphs

    1.3 Domination in Graphs. We now introduce the concept of dominating sets in graphs. A set S ⊆ V of vertices in a graph. G = (V, E) is a dominating set if every vertex v ∈ V is an element of S or adjacent to an element of S. Alternatively, we can say that S ⊆ V is a dominating set of G if N[S] = V (G).

    an example. A complete graph, denoted Kn, is a simple graph with n vertices such that any two distinct vertices are adjacent. A complete bipartite graph is a bipartite graph, G[X,Y], in which each x in X is adjacent to every y in Y. As noted in [6], since the usual graph colorings are special cases of list colorings, we have

    Considering this, the Ising network model was selected as an ideal candidate to computationally encode the main components of our verbal theory. With a behavioural preference to align, the Ising network model can capture alignment behaviour and output an informative Hamiltonian value which states the degree of (mis)alignment in a system.
