大多数围长为8的广义Petersen图的cop数为4

Most Generalized Petersen graphs of girth 8 have cop number 4

Joy Morris, Tigana Runte, Adrian Skelton

摘要:

广义Petersen图$GP(n,k)$是在$2n$顶点上的正则三次图(参数$k$用于定义一些边)。先前显示(Ball等人,2015),对于$n$和$k$的所有允许值,$GP(n,k)$的cop编号至多为$4$。本文证明了“大多数”广义Petersen图的copn数恰为$4$。更准确地说,我们表明,除非$n$和$k$属于某些特定的类别,那么的COP编号$GP(n,k)$是$4$。我们的结果适用的图都有围长$8$。事实上,我们的论点是稍微更一般:我们表明,在任何三次图的周长至少$8$,除非存在两个周期的长度$8$的交叉是一个路径的长度$2$,那么图的copnumber至少是$4$。甚至更一般地,在周长至少为$9$和最小价数$δ$的图中,cop数至少为$δ+1$。

英文摘要:

A generalized Petersen graph $GP(n,k)$ is a regular cubic graph on $2n$ vertices (the parameter $k$ is used to define some of the edges). It was previously shown (Ball et al., 2015) that the cop number of $GP(n,k)$ is at most $4$, for all permissible values of $n$ and $k$. In this paper we prove that the cop number of "most" generalized Petersen graphs is exactly $4$. More precisely, we show that unless $n$ and $k$ fall into certain specified categories, then the cop number of $GP(n,k)$ is $4$. The graphs to which our result applies all have girth $8$. In fact, our argument is slightly more general: we show that in any cubic graph of girth at least $8$, unless there exist two cycles of length $8$ whose intersection is a path of length $2$, then the cop number of the graph is at least $4$. Even more generally, in a graph of girth at least $9$ and minimum valency $δ$, the cop number is at least $δ+1$.
