The maximum number of edges in 2K2-free graphs of bounded degree
1990
Discrete Mathematics
We show that if G is 2K,-free and has maximum degree A(G) = D, then G has at most 5D2/4 edges if D is even. If D is odd, this bound can be improved to (5D* -20 + 1)/4. The extremal graphs are unique. ...
A graph is 2K,-free if it does not contain an independent pair of edges as an induced subgraph. ...
The extremal result The main result of this section is the determination of the maximum number of edges in a 2K,-free graph with a given maximum degree. ...

Let ex * (D; H ) denote the maximum number of edges in a connected graph with maximum degree D and no induced subgraph isomorphic to H. ...
Since any large clique is H-free if H is not a clique, and since disjoint copies of a graph introduce no new connected subgraphs, we define ex*(D; H ) to be the maximum number of edges in a connected H-free ...

For H = 2P3 (and D ~> 8), the maximum number of edges is ½ [D 4 + D 3 + D 2 + 6D] if D is even and ½ [D 4 + 0 3 + 2D 2 + 3D + 1 ] if D is odd, achieved by a unique extremal graph. ...

Boundary classes of graphs for the dominating set problem

Discrete Mathematics
The notion of a boundary class has been recently introduced as a tool for classiÿcation of hereditary classes of graphs according to the time complexity of NP-hard graph problems. ...
In the present paper we concentrate on the dominating set problem and obtain three boundary classes for it. ...

Acknowledgement We would like to thank both the anonymous referees who gave valuable suggestions for the improvement of the presentation. ...
The size of a G-shuttle cover is the number of shuttles. The rail width of a set of G-shuttles is the maximum over all edges of G of the number of shuttles containing an edge. ...
Moreover each edge contributes Jo n/2 to the sum. If n ~0 (mod 4) in a cover meeting the bound in (2) then the number of edges in the excess multigraph is not uniquely determined. ...
