Sharp Estimates

An identifying code is a subset of vertices of a graph such that each vertex is uniquely determined by its neighbourhood within the identifying code. If $\gamma^{\text{ID}}(G)$ denotes the minimum size of an identifying code of a graph $G$, it was conjectured by F. Foucaud, R. Klasing, A. Kosowski and A. Raspaud that there exists a constant $c$ such that if a connected graph $G$ with $n$ vertices and maximum degree $d$ admits an identifying code, then $\gamma^{\text{ID}}(G)\leq n-\tfrac{n}{d}+c$. We use probabilistic tools to show that for any $d\geq 3$, $\gamma^{\text{ID}}(G)\leq n-\tfrac{n}{\Theta(d)}$ holds for a large class of graphs containing, among others, all regular graphs and all graphs of bounded clique number. This settles the conjecture (up to constants) for these classes of graphs. In the general case, we prove $\gamma^{\text{ID}}(G)\leq n-\tfrac{n}{\Theta(d^{3})}$. In a second part, we prove that in any graph $G$ of minimum degree $\delta$ and girth at least 5, $\gamma^{\text{ID}}(G)\leq(1+o_\delta(1))\tfrac{3\log\delta}{2\delta}n$. Using the former result, we give sharp estimates for the size of the minimum identifying code of random $d$-regular graphs, which is about $\tfrac{\log d}{d}n$.

Locating-dominating sets and identifying codes are two closely related notions in the area of separating systems. Roughly speaking, they consist in a dominating set of a graph such that every vertex is uniquely identified by its neighbourhood within the dominating set. In this paper, we study the size of a smallest locating-dominating set or identifying code for graphs of girth at least 5 and of given minimum degree. We use the technique of vertex-disjoint paths to provide upper bounds on the minimum size of such sets, and construct graphs who come close to meeting these bounds.

Identifying Code

Consider a connected undirected graph $G=(V,E)$ and a subset of vertices $C$. If for all vertices $v \in V$, the sets $B_r(v) \cap C$ are all nonempty and pairwise distinct, where $B_r(v)$ denotes the set of all points within distance $r$ from $v$, then we call $C$ an $r$-identifying code. We give general lower and upper bounds on the best possible density of $r$-identifying codes in three infinite regular graphs.

A locally irregular graph is a graph whose adjacent vertices have distinct degrees. We say that a graph G can be decomposed into k locally irregular subgraphs if its edge set may be partitioned into k subsets each of which induces a locally irregular subgraph in G. It has been conjectured that apart from the family of exceptions which admit no such decompositions, i.e., odd paths, odd cycles and a special class of graphs of maximum degree 3, every connected graph can be decomposed into 3 locally irregular subgraphs. Using a combination of a probabilistic approach and some known theorems on degree constrained subgraphs of a given graph, we prove this to hold for graphs of minimum degree at least $10^{10}$. This problem is strongly related to edge colourings distinguishing neighbours by the pallets of their incident colours and to the 1-2-3 Conjecture. In particular, the contribution of this paper constitutes a strengthening of a result of Addario-Berry, Aldred, Dalal and Reed [J. Combin. Theory Ser. B 94 (2005) 237-244].

Simple Connected Graph

LetG = (V,E) be a simple connected graph of order n (?2) and size m, where V(G) = {1, 2,..., n}. Also let ? = d1 ? d2 ?... ? dn = ? > 0, di = d(i), be a sequence of its vertex degrees with maximum degree ? and minimum degree ?. The symmetric division deg index, SDD, was defined in [D. Vukicevic, Bond additive modeling 2. Mathematical properties of max-min rodeg index, Croat. Chem. Acta 83 (2010) 261- 273] as SDD = SDD(G) = ?i~j d2i+d2j/didj, where i~j means that vertices i and j are adjacent. In this paper we give some new bounds for this topological index. Moreover, we present a relation between topological indices of graph.

The concept of monogenic semigroup graphs Γ S M is firstly introduced by Das et al. (2013) based on zero divisor graphs. In this study, we mainly discuss the some graph properties over the line graph L Γ S M of Γ S M . In detail, we prove the existence of graph parameters, namely, radius, diameter, girth, maximum degree, minimum degree, chromatic number, clique number, and domination number over L Γ S M .

The Relationship

The relationship between the lengths of cycles in a graph and the degrees of its vertices was first studied in a general context by G. A. Dirac. In [5], he proved that every 2-connected simple graph on n vertices with minimum degree d contains a cycle of length at least min{2d, n};. Dirac's theorem was subsequently strengthened in various directions in [7], [6], [13], [12], [2], [1], [11], [8], [14], [15] and [16].Our aim here is to investigate another aspect of this relationship, namely how the lengths of the cycles in a 2-connected graph depend on the maximum degree. Let us denote by ƒ(n, d) the largest integer k such that every 2-connected simple graph on n vertices with maximum degree d contains a cycle of length at least k. We prove in Section 2 that, for d ≧ 3 and n ≧ d + 2,

Let $G$ be a connected graph of order $n$.The Wiener index $W(G)$ of $G$ is the sum of the distances between all unordered pairs of vertices of $G$. In this paper we show that the well-known upper bound $\big( \frac{n}{\delta+1}+2\big) {n \choose 2}$ on the Wiener index of a graph of order $n$ and minimum degree $\delta$ [M. Kouider, P. Winkler, Mean distance and minimum degree. J. Graph Theory 25 no. 1 (1997)] can be improved significantly if the graph contains also a vertex of large degree. Specifically, we give the asymptotically sharp bound $W(G) \leq {n-\Delta+\delta \choose 2} \frac{n+2\Delta}{\delta+1}+ 2n(n-1)$ on the Wiener index of a graph $G$ of order $n$, minimum degree $\delta$ and maximum degree $\Delta$. We prove a similar result for triangle-free graphs, and we determine a bound on the Wiener index of $C_4$-free graphs of given order, minimum and maximum degree and show that it is, in some sense, best possible.

The Total Colouring Conjecture suggests that $\Delta+3$ colours ought to suffice in order to provide a proper total colouring of every graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. Thus far this has been confirmed up to an additive constant factor, and the same holds even if one additionally requires every pair of neighbours in $G$ to differ with respect to the sets of their incident colours, so called pallets. Within this paper we conjecture that an upper bound of the form $\Delta+C$, for a constant $C>0$ still remains valid even after extending the distinction requirement to pallets associated with vertices at distance at most $r$, if only $G$ has minimum degree $\delta$ larger than a constant dependent on $r$. We prove that such assumption on $\delta$ is then unavoidable and exploit the probabilistic method in order to provide two supporting results for the conjecture. Namely, we prove the upper bound $(1+o(1))\Delta$ for every $r$, and show that for any fixed $\epsilon\in(0,1]$ and $r$, the conjecture holds if $\delta\geq \varepsilon\Delta$, i.e., in particular for regular graphs.

An identifying vertex cover in a graph $G$ is a subset $T$ of vertices in $G$ that has a nonempty intersection with every edge of $G$ such that $T$ distinguishes the edges, that is, $e \cap T \ne \emptyset$ for every edge $e$ in $G$ and $e \cap T \ne f \cap T$ for every two distinct edges $e$ and $f$ in $G$. The identifying vertex cover number $\tau_D(G)$ of $G$ is the minimum size of an identifying vertex cover in $G$. We observe that $\tau_D(G) + \rho(G) = |V(G)|$, where $\rho(G)$ denotes the packing number of $G$. We conjecture that if $G$ is a graph of order $n$ and size $m$ with maximum degree $\Delta$, then $\tau_D(G) \le \left( \frac{\Delta(\Delta - 1)}{\Delta^2 + 1} \right) n + \left( \frac{2}{\Delta^2 + 1} \right) m$. If the conjecture is true, then the bound is best possible for all $\Delta \ge 1$. We prove this conjecture when $\Delta \ge 1$ and $G$ is a $\Delta$-regular graph. The three known Moore graphs of diameter two, namely the $5$-cycle, the Petersen graph and the Hoffman-Singleton graph, are examples of regular graphs that achieves equality in the upper bound. We also prove this conjecture when $\Delta \in \{2,3\}$.

We model a problem about networks built from wireless devices using identifying and locating–dominating codes in unit disk graphs. It is known that minimizing the size of an identifying code is -complete even for bipartite graphs. First, we improve this result by showing that the problem remains -complete for bipartite planar unit disk graphs. Then, we address the question of the existence of an identifying code for random unit disk graphs. We derive the probability that there exists an identifying code as a function of the radius of the disks, and we find that for all interesting ranges of r this probability is bounded away from one. The results obtained are in sharp contrast to those concerning random graphs in the Erdős–Rényi model. Another well-studied class of codes is that of locating–dominating codes, which are less demanding than identifying codes. A locating–dominating code always exists, but minimizing its size is still -complete in general. We extend this result to our setting by showing that this question remains -complete for arbitrary planar unit disk graphs. Finally, we study the minimum size of such a code in random unit disk graphs, and we prove that with probability tending to one, it is of size (n/r)2/3+o(1) if r ≤ /2−ϵ is chosen such that nr2 → ∞, and of size n1+o(1) if nr2 ≪ lnn.
