In this paper we study the problem of the existence of (2-d)-kernels in the cartesian product of graphs. We give sufficient conditions for the existence of (2-d)-kernels in the cartesian product and also we consider the number of (2-d)-kernels.

Graph Theory International audience A k-edge-weighting of a graph G is a function w:E(G)→{1,…,k}. An edge-weighting naturally induces a vertex coloring c, where for every vertex v∈V(G), c(v)=∑e∼vw(e). If the induced coloring c is a proper vertex coloring, then w is called a vertex-coloring k-edge-weighting (VC k-EW). Karoński et al. (J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, 91 (2004) 151 13;157) conjectured that every graph admits a VC 3-EW. This conjecture is known as the 1-2-3-conjecture. In this paper, first, we study the vertex-coloring edge-weighting of the Cartesian product of graphs. We prove that if the 1-2-3-conjecture holds for two graphs G and H, then it also holds for G□H. Also we prove that the Cartesian product of connected bipartite graphs admits a VC 2-EW. Moreover, we present several sufficient conditions for a graph to admit a VC 2-EW. Finally, we explore some bipartite graphs which do not admit a VC 2-EW.

<abstract><p>Let $ G_1 \square G_2 $ be the Cartesian product of simple, connected and finite graphs $ G_1 $ and $ G_2 $. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the Cartesian product of graphs to be very strongly perfect. Further, we introduce and characterize the co-strongly perfect graph. The very strongly perfect graph is implemented in the real-time application of a wireless sensor network to optimize the set of master nodes to communicate and control nodes placed in the field.</p></abstract>

The diameter of a graph can be affected by the addition or deletion of edges. In this paper, we examine the Cartesian product of graphs whose diameter increases (decreases) by the deletion (addition) of a single edge. The problems of minimality and maximality of the Cartesian product of graphs with respect to its diameter are also solved. These problems are motivated by the fact that most of the interconnection networks are graph products and a good network must be hard to disrupt and the transmissions must remain connected even if some vertices or edges fail.

Let G = (V (G),E(G)) be any simple undirected graph. The open hop neighborhood of v ϵ V(G) is the set 𝑁_𝐺^2(𝑣) = {u ϵ V(G):  𝑑_𝐺 (u,v) = 2}. Then G induces a topology τ_G on V (G) with base consisting of sets of the form F_G^2[A] = V(G) \ N_G^2 [A] where N_G^2 [A] = A ∪ {v ϵ V(G):  𝑁_𝐺^2(𝑣) ∩ A ≠ ∅ } and A ranges over all subsets of V (G). In this paper, we describe the topologies induced by the complement of a graph, the join, the corona, the composition and the Cartesian product of graphs.

A dominating set $D$ for a graph $G$ is a subset of $V(G)$ such that any vertex not in $D$ has at least one neighbor in $D$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ is the size of a minimum dominating set in G. Vizing's conjecture from 1968 states that for the Cartesian product of graphs $G$ and $H$, $\gamma(G)\gamma(H) \leq \gamma(G \Box H)$, and Clark and Suen (2000) proved that $\gamma(G)\gamma(H) \leq 2 \gamma(G \Box H)$. In this paper, we modify the approach of Clark and Suen to prove a variety of similar bounds related to total and paired domination, and also extend these bounds to the $n$-Cartesian product of graphs $A^1$ through $A^n$.
