Minimum degree and disjoint cycles in generalized claw-free graphs
2013
European journal of combinatorics (Print)
In this paper we extend results on disjoint cycles in claw-free graphs satisfying certain minimum degree conditions to K 1,s -free graphs, normally called generalized claw-free graphs. ...
Also, the existence of 2-factors for K 1,s -free graphs with minimum degree conditions will be shown. ...
If G is a K 1,4 -free graph of order n with minimum degree δ(G) ≥ n/3 then G contains at least n/3 − 4 disjoint triangles, and if the minimum degree δ(G) ≥ n/2 then G contains at least n/3 − 3 disjoint ...

Our main result is as follows: For any integer k > 2, if G is a claw-free graph of order at least 6(k — 1) and with minimum degree at least 3, then G contains k vertex-disjoint triangles unless G is of ...
Planarization and Acyclic Colorings of Subcubic Claw-Free Graphs
[chapter]
2011
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
We show that this bound is tight by proving that the problem is NP-hard for cubic line graphs (and therefore, claw-free graphs) of maximum degree d ≥ 4. ...
Regarding acyclic colorings, we give a polynomial-time algorithm that finds an optimal acyclic vertex coloring of a subcubic claw-free graph. ...
Introduction A simple, finite graph G is said to be claw-free if no vertex of G has three pairwise nonadjacent neighbors. It is subcubic if every vertex of G has degree at most three. ...

Packing 3-vertex paths in claw-free graphs and related topics
2011
Discrete Applied Mathematics
A claw is a graph with four vertices and three edges incident to the same vertex. A graph is claw-free if it has no induced subgraph isomorphic to a claw. Our results include the following. ...
Let G be a 3-connected claw-free graph, x a vertex in G, e = xy an edge in G, and P a 3-vertex path in G. ...

Let G be a claw-free graph on n vertices with clique number ω, and consider the chromatic number χ(G^2) of the square G^2 of G. ...
Writing χ'_s(d) for the supremum of χ(L^2) over the line graphs L of simple graphs of maximum degree at most d, we prove that χ(G^2)<χ'_s(ω) for ω∈{3,4}. ...

Discrete Mathematics
This enables us to prove Jones' Conjecture for claw-free graphs with maximum degree 4. ...
As an immediate consequence, we have that any subcubic triangle-free graph G, with n i vertices of degree i, has a matching of size at least 3n 1 /20 + 3n 2 /10 + 9n 3 /20. ...
In this paper, we concentrate on the subclass of line graphs of subcubic triangle-free graphs (a subcubic graph is a graph with maximum degree at most 3). ...

We prove that every claw-free cubic n-vertex graph with no cutedge has more than 2^(n/12) perfect matchings, thus verifying the conjecture for claw-free graphs. ...
Lovasz and Plummer conjectured that there exists a fixed positive constant c such that every cubic n-vertex graph with no cutedge has at least 2^(cn) perfect matchings. ...

Computational geometry
We consider the problem of guarding triangles in the plane and show that (5n + 2)/4 guards can monitor the boundaries and the free space of n disjoint triangles. ...
We also consider the analogous problem for n disjoint claws in the plane and show that 3n/2 + O(1) guards are always sufficient and 3n/2 − O(1) are sometimes necessary. ...
This theorem states that the maximum matching of a graph on n nodes covers at least 2 (n + 4)/3 nodes if the graph is simple, planar, 2connected, and the minimal degree is at least 3.
Proof. ...

Disjoint Paired-Dominating sets in Cubic Graphs
2019
Graphs and Combinatorics
We prove that the vertex set of every claw-free cubic graph can be partitioned into two paired-dominating sets. ...
A paired-dominating set of a graph G is a dominating set D with the additional requirement that the induced subgraph G[D] contains a perfect matching. ...
The graph invariant asked for in Problem 3(1) is always positive because every nonextendable matching induces a paired-dominating set whenever isolates are excluded. ...
