Approximating Vizing's independence number conjecture

open access: yes, 2019
In 1965, Vizing conjectured that the independence ratio of edge-chromatic critical graphs is at most $\frac{1}{2}$. We prove that for every $\epsilon > 0$ this conjecture is equivalent to its restriction on a specific set of edge-chromatic critical ...

Vizing's edge-recoloring conjecture holds.

open access: yesProceedings of the 12th European Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory and Applications, 2023
In 1964 Vizing proved that starting from any $k$-edge-coloring of a graph $G$ one can reach, using only Kempe swaps, a $(\Delta+1)$-edge-coloring of $G$ where $\Delta$ is the maximum degree of $G$. One year later he conjectured that one can also reach a $\Delta$-edge-coloring of $G$ if there exists one. Bonamy \textit{et. al} proved that the conjecture

Inequality Related to Vizing's Conjecture [PDF]

open access: yesThe Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2000
Let $\gamma(G)$ denote the domination number of a graph $G$ and let $G\square H$ denote the Cartesian product of graphs $G$ and $H$. We prove that $\gamma(G)\gamma(H) \le 2 \gamma(G\square H)$ for all simple graphs $G$ and $H$.

An Improved Inequality Related to Vizing's Conjecture [PDF]

open access: yesThe Electronic Journal of Combinatorics, 2012
Vizing conjectured in 1963 that $\gamma(G \Box H) \geq \gamma(G)\gamma(H)$ for any graphs $G$ and $H$. A graph $G$ is said to satisfy Vizing's conjecture if the conjectured inequality holds for $G$ and any graph $H$.  Vizing's conjecture has been proved for $\gamma(G) \le 3$, and it is known to hold for other classes of graphs.

Vizing's 2‐Factor Conjecture Involving Large Maximum Degree [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, 2017
AbstractLet G be an n‐vertex simple graph, and let and denote the maximum degree and chromatic index of G, respectively. Vizing proved that or . Define G to be Δ‐critical if and for every proper subgraph H of G. In 1965, Vizing conjectured that if G is an n‐vertex Δ‐critical graph, then G has a 2‐factor.

A Note on Vizing's Conjecture

open access: yes, 2023
Let $γ(G)$ denote the domination number of graph $G$. Let $G$ and $H$ be graphs and $G\Box H$ their Cartesian product. For $h\in V(H)$ define $G_h=\{(g,h)\,|\,g\in V(G)\}$ and call this set a $G$-layer of $G\Box H$. We prove the following special case of Vizing's conjecture. Let $D$ be a dominating set of $G\Box H$.

An Improved Bound in Vizing’s Conjecture [PDF]

open access: yesGraphs and Combinatorics, 2019
A well-known conjecture of Vizing is that $ (G \square H) \ge (G) (H)$ for any pair of graphs $G, H$, where $ $ is the domination number and $G \square H$ is the Cartesian product of $G$ and $H$. Suen and Tarr, improving a result of Clark and Suen, showed $ (G \square H) \ge \frac{1}{2} (G) (H) + \frac{1}{2}\min( (G), (H))$.

Fair reception and Vizing's conjecture

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, 2009
AbstractIn this paper we introduce the concept of fair reception of a graph which is related to its domination number. We prove that all graphs G with a fair reception of size γ(G) satisfy Vizing's conjecture on the domination number of Cartesian product graphs, by which we extend the well‐known result of Barcalkin and German concerning decomposable ...

Edge-colourings of graphs [PDF]

open access: yes, 1984
All the results in this thesis are concerned with the classification of graphs by their chromatic class. We first extend earlier results of Fiorini and others to give a complete list of critical graphs of order at most ten.
