Connectivity Augmentation

For a connected non-complete graph, a vertex separator is a subset of vertices whose deletion increases the number of connected components and the vertex connectivity of the graph refers to the size of a minimum vertex separator. A graph with the vertex connectivity k is said to be k-vertex connected. Given a k-vertex connected graph G, vertex connectivity augmentation determines a smallest set of edges whose augmentation to G makes it (k + 1)-vertex connected. In this paper, we report our study on connectivity augmentation in 1-connected graphs, 2-connected graphs, and k-connected chordal graphs. We first represent the graph under consideration using a "tree-like" graph. This tree is unique and explicitly captures the connectivity information of the graph. Using this tree, our proposed data structure maintains the set of equivalence classes based on an equivalence relation on the set of leaves of the tree. This partition determines a set of edges to be augmented to increase the connectivity of the graph by one. Based on our data structure, we present a new combinatorial analysis and an elegant proof of correctness of our linear-time algorithm for an optimum connectivity augmentation. The novelty is in the data structure which is a unified framework for all three augmentations. As far as the run-time analysis is concerned, given the associated tree, our approach yields an augmentation set in linear time.

Abstract The second smallest eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix of a graph (network) is called its algebraic connectivity which is used to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, distinguish the group differences, measure the robustness, construct multiplex model, synchronize the stability, analyze the diffusion processes and find the connectivity of the graphs (networks). A connected graph containing two or three cycles is called a bicyclic graph if its number of edges is equal to its number of vertices plus one. In this paper, firstly the unique graph with a minimum algebraic connectivity is characterized in the class of connected graphs whose complements are bicyclic with exactly three cycles. Then, we find the unique graph of minimum algebraic connectivity in the class of connected graphs $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{n}={\it\Omega}^c_{1,n}\cup{\it\Omega}^c_{2,n}, \end{array}$ where $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{1,n} \end{array}$ and $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_{2,n} \end{array}$ are classes of the connected graphs in which the complement of each graph of order n is a bicyclic graph with exactly two and three cycles, respectively.

Cartesian Products Of Graphs

AbstractIn 2011, Beeler and Hoilman generalized the game of peg solitaire to arbitrary connected graphs. In the same article, the authors proved some results on the solvability of Cartesian products, given solvable or distance 2-solvable graphs. We extend these results to Cartesian products of certain unsolvable graphs. In particular, we prove that ladders and grid graphs are solvable and, further, even the Cartesian product of two stars, which in a sense are the “most” unsolvable graphs.

Abstract Suppose that Γ is a graph of order n and A(Γ) = [ai,j] is its adjacency matrix such that ai,j is equal to 1 if vi is adjacent to vj and ai,j is zero otherwise, where 1 ≤ i, j ≤ n. In a family of graphs, a graph is called minimizing if the least eigenvalue of its adjacency matrix is minimum in the set of the least eigenvalues of all the graphs. Petrović et al. [On the least eigenvalue of cacti, Linear Algebra Appl., 2011, 435, 2357-2364] characterized a minimizing graph in the family of all cacti such that the complement of this minimizing graph is disconnected. In this paper, we characterize the minimizing graphs G ∈ $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_n \end{array}$, i.e. $$\begin{array}{} \displaystyle \lambda_{min}(G)\leq\lambda_{min}(C^c) \end{array}$$ for each Cc ∈ $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_n \end{array}$, where $\begin{array}{} {\it\Omega}^c_n \end{array}$ is a collection of connected graphs such that the complement of each graph of order n is a cactus with the condition that either its each block is only an edge or it has at least one block which is an edge and at least one block which is a cycle.
