In this paper, we prove that cyclic hamiltonian cycle systems of the complete graph minus a 1-factor, Kn - I, exist if and only if n 2, 4( mod 8) and n = 2p with p
Let G be a minimally k-connected graph with n nodes and m edges. Mader proved that if n 3k - 2 then m k(n - k), and for n 3k - 1 an equality is possible if, and only if, G is t...
In this paper we study recurrences concerning the combinatorial sum n r m = kr (mod m) n k and the alternate sum kr (mod m)(-1)(k-r)/m n k , where m > 0, n 0 and r are integers....
Let G = (V, E) be a graph. A set S V is a restrained dominating set if every vertex not in S is adjacent to a vertex in S and to a vertex in V - S. The restrained domination numb...
The coefficient of fragmentability of a class of graphs measures the proportion of vertices that need to be removed from the graphs in the class in order to leave behind bounded s...
For a simple path Pr on r vertices, the square of Pr is the graph P2 r on the same set of vertices of Pr , and where every pair of vertices of distance two or less in Pr is connec...
We prove that the number of minimal transversals (and also the number of maximal independent sets) in a 3-uniform hypergraph with n vertices is at most cn , where c
