Sharp Upper Bounds on the Clar Number of Fullerene Graphs

open access: yesDiscussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2018
The Clar number of a fullerene graph with n vertices is bounded above by ⌊n/6⌋ − 2 and this bound has been improved to ⌊n/6⌋ − 3 when n is congruent to 2 modulo 6.

Path separation by short cycles

open access: yes, 2016
Two Hamilton paths in $K_n$ are separated by a cycle of length $k$ if their union contains such a cycle. For small fixed values of $k$ we bound the asymptotics of the maximum cardinality of a family of Hamilton paths in $K_n$ such that any pair of paths ...

Splitting cubic circle graphs

open access: yes, 2015
We show that every 3-regular circle graph has at least two pairs of twin vertices; consequently no such graph is prime with respect to the split decomposition.

Voting for Committees in Agreeable Societies

open access: yes, 2014
We examine the following voting situation. A committee of $k$ people is to be formed from a pool of n candidates. The voters selecting the committee will submit a list of $j$ candidates that they would prefer to be on the committee.

The classification of partially symmetric 3-braid links

open access: yesOpen Mathematics, 2015
We classify 3-braid links which are amphicheiral as unoriented links, including a new proof of Birman- Menasco’s result for the (orientedly) amphicheiral 3-braid links. Then we classify the partially invertible 3-braid links.

Graph connectivity and universal rigidity of bar frameworks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ nodes. In this note, we prove that if $G$ is $(r+1)$-vertex connected, $1 \leq r \leq n-2$, then there exists a configuration $p$ in general position in $R^r$ such that the bar framework $(G,p)$ is universally rigid.

Archimedean tiling graphs with Gallai’s property

open access: yesAnalele Stiintifice ale Universitatii Ovidius Constanta: Seria Matematica, 2017
Gallai in 1966 raised the question about the existence of graphs with the property that every vertex is missed by some longest path. This property will be called Gallai’s property.

Induced Subgraphs of Johnson Graphs

open access: yes, 2012
The Johnson graph J(n,N) is defined as the graph whose vertices are the n-subsets of the set {1,2,...,N}, where two vertices are adjacent if they share exactly n - 1 elements.

Improved bounds for the crossing numbers of K_m,n and K_n

open access: yes, 2004
It has been long--conjectured that the crossing number cr(K_m,n) of the complete bipartite graph K_m,n equals the Zarankiewicz Number Z(m,n):= floor((m-1)/2) floor(m/2) floor((n-1)/2) floor(n/2). Another long--standing conjecture states that the crossing

A polynomial algorithm for the k-cluster problem on interval graphs

open access: yes, 2008
This paper deals with the problem of finding, for a given graph and a given natural number k, a subgraph of k nodes with a maximum number of edges. This problem is known as the k-cluster problem and it is NP-hard on general graphs as well as on chordal ...
