Number Of Spanning Trees

International audience The K_n-complement of a graph G, denoted by K_n-G, is defined as the graph obtained from the complete graph K_n by removing a set of edges that span G; if G has n vertices, then K_n-G coincides with the complement øverlineG of the graph G. In this paper we extend the previous notion and derive determinant based formulas for the number of spanning trees of graphs of the form K_n^m #x00b1 G, where K_n^m is the complete multigraph on n vertices with exactly m edges joining every pair of vertices and G is a multigraph spanned by a set of edges of K_n^m; the graph K_n^m + G (resp. K_n^m - G) is obtained from K_n^m by adding (resp. removing) the edges of G. Moreover, we derive determinant based formulas for graphs that result from K_n^m by adding and removing edges of multigraphs spanned by sets of edges of the graph K_n^m. We also prove closed formulas for the number of spanning tree of graphs of the form K_n^m #x00b1 G, where G is (i) a complete multipartite graph, and (ii) a multi-star graph. Our results generalize previous results and extend the family of graphs admitting formulas for the number of their spanning trees.

And Function

If $G=K_n$ is the complete graph, the classical Prüffer correspondence gives a natural bijection between all spanning trees of $G$ (i.e., all Cayley trees) and all functions from a set of $n-2$ elements to a set of $n$ elements. If $G$ is a complete multipartite graph, then such bijections have been studied by Eğecioğlu and Remmel. In this paper, we define a class of directed graphs, called filtered digraphs, and describe a natural class of bijections between oriented spanning forests of these digraphs and associated classes of functions. We derive multivariate generating functions for the oriented spanning forests which arise in this context, and we link basic properties of these spanning forests to properties of the functions to which they correspond. This approach yields a number of new results for directed graphs. Moreover, in the undirected case, various specializations of our multivariate generating function not only include various known results but also give a number of new results.

Monochromatic Copy

For given graphs G1,G2,…,Gn and any integer j, the size of the multipartite Ramsey number mj(G1,G2,…,Gn) is the smallest positive integer t such that any n-coloring of the edges of Kj×t contains a monochromatic copy of Gi in color i for some i, 1≤i≤n, where Kj×t denotes the complete multipartite graph having j classes with t vertices per each class. In this paper, we computed the size of the multipartite Ramsey numbers mj(K1,2,P4,nK2) for any j,n≥2 and mj(nK2,C7), for any j≤4 and n≥2.

Complete Multipartite

Permutation decoding method developed by MacWilliams and described in [Permutation decoding of systematic codes, Bell Syst. Tech. J. 43 (1964) 485–505] is a decoding technique that uses a subset of the automorphism group of the code called a PD-set. The complexity of the permutation decoding algorithm depends on the size of the PD-set and finding a minimal PD-set for an error correcting code is a hard problem. In this paper we examine binary codes from the complete-multipartite graph [Formula: see text] and find PD-sets for all values of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. Further we show that these PD-sets are minimal when [Formula: see text] is odd and [Formula: see text].

Edge Addition

The energy of a graph is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of the graph. Akbari et al. [S. Akbari, E. Ghorbani, and M. Oboudi. Edge addition, singular values, and energy of graphs and matrices. {\em Linear Algebra Appl.}, 430:2192--2199, 2009.] proved that for a complete multipartite graph $K_{t_1 ,\ldots,t_k}$, if $t_i\geq 2 \ (i=1,\ldots,k)$, then deleting any edge will increase the energy. A natural question is how the energy changes when $\min\{t_1 ,\ldots,t_k\}=1$. In this paper, a new method to study the energy of graph is explored. As an application of this new method, the above natural question is answered and it is completely determined how the energy of a complete multipartite graph changes when one edge is removed.
