Independence Number, Connectivity and All Fractional (a, b, k)-Critical Graphs
Let G be a graph and a, b and k be nonnegative integers with 1 ≤ a ≤ b. A graph G is defined as all fractional (a, b, k)-critical if after deleting any k vertices of G, the remaining graph has all fractional [a, b]-factors.

Covering the Edges of a Random Hypergraph by Cliques
We determine the order of magnitude of the minimum clique cover of the edges of a binomial, r-uniform, random hypergraph G(r)(n, p), p fixed. In doing so, we combine the ideas from the proofs of the graph case (r = 2) in Frieze and Reed [Covering the ...

Alliance free and alliance cover sets
A \emph{defensive} (\emph{offensive}) $k$-\emph{alliance} in $\Gamma=(V,E)$ is a set $S\subseteq V$ such that every $v$ in $S$ (in the boundary of $S$) has at least $k$ more neighbors in $S$ than it has in $V\setminus S$.

A polynomial-time approximation algorithm for the number of k-matchings in bipartite graphs [PDF]
We show that the number of $k$-matching in a given undirected graph $G$ is equal to the number of perfect matching of the corresponding graph $G_k$ on an even number of vertices divided by a suitable factor.

Gregarious Kite Factorization of Tensor Product of Complete Graphs
A kite factorization of a multipartite graph is said to be gregarious if every kite in the factorization has all its vertices in different partite sets. In this paper, we show that there exists a gregarious kite factorization of Km × Kn if and only if mn

The Cartesian product of graphs with loops [PDF]
We extend the definition of the Cartesian product to graphs with loops and show that the Sabidussi-Vizing unique factorization theorem for connected finite simple graphs still holds in this context for all connected finite graphs with at least one ...

Strong Tutte Type Conditions and Factors of Graphs
Let odd(G) denote the number of odd components of a graph G and k ≥ 2 be an integer. We give sufficient conditions using odd(G − S) for a graph G to have an even factor.

Arbitrarily Partitionable {2K2, C4}-Free Graphs
A graph G = (V, E) of order n is said to be arbitrarily partitionable if for each sequence λ = (λ1, λ2, …, λp) of positive integers with λ1 +·…·+λp = n, there exists a partition (V1, V2, …, Vp) of the vertex set V such that Vi induces a connected ...

Sharp Upper Bounds on the Clar Number of Fullerene Graphs
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.
