Independence numbers of product graphs

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 1974
AbstractThis paper deals with the problem of determining the independence number for the strong graph-product, especially for odd cycles. Using the concepts of a point-symmetric graph and the clique-number and introducing the notion of an independence graph, we extend and generalize some results of Hales [3] for cycle-products of power three.

On the 2-token graph of a graph

open access: yesAKCE International Journal of Graphs and Combinatorics, 2020
Let be a graph and let be a positive integer. Let = and . The -token graph is the graph with vertex set and two vertices and are adjacent if and , where denotes the symmetric difference. In this paper we present several basic results on 2-token graphs.

On The Independence Number Of Some Strong Products Of Cycle-Powers

open access: yesFoundations of Computing and Decision Sciences, 2015
In the paper we give some theoretical and computational results on the third strong power of cycle-powers, for example, we have found the independence numbers α((C102)√3) = 30 and α((C144)√3) = 14.

Bounds on the Clique and the Independence Number for Certain Classes of Graphs

open access: yesMathematics
In this paper, we study the class of graphs Gm,n that have the same degree sequence as two disjoint cliques Km and Kn, as well as the class G¯m,n of the complements of such graphs.

Hamiltonicity, independence number, and pancyclicity

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Combinatorics, 2012
A graph on n vertices is called pancyclic if it contains a cycle of length l for all 3 \le l \le n. In 1972, Erdos proved that if G is a Hamiltonian graph on n > 4k^4 vertices with independence number k, then G is pancyclic. He then suggested that n = (k^2) should already be enough to guarantee pancyclicity.

On the number of maximum independent sets of graphs [PDF]

open access: yesTransactions on Combinatorics, 2014
Let $G$ be a simple graph. An independent set is a set of pairwise non-adjacent vertices. The number of vertices in a maximum independent set of $G$ is denoted by $alpha(G)$. In this paper, we characterize graphs $G$ with $n$ vertices and with maximum

Chromatic number, independence ratio, and crossing number

open access: yesArs Mathematica Contemporanea, 2008
Given a drawing of a graph G, two crossings are said to be dependent if they are incident with the same vertex. A set of crossings is independent if no two are dependent. We conjecture that if G is a graph that has a drawing all of whose crossings are independent, then the chromatic number of G is at most 5.
