关于Wang极值树定理的一个逆结果

An inverse result for Wang's theorem on extremal trees

Ivan Damnjanović, Žarko Ranđelović

AI总结:

本文解决了Wang关于极值树定理的逆问题,精确刻画了在给定度序列下最大化或最小化满足单调性条件的对称函数相邻顶点和的所有极值树。

摘要:

在所有具有给定度序列的n个顶点树中,我们如何最大化或最小化所有相邻顶点对x和y上f(deg x, deg y)的和?这里f是一个固定的对称函数,满足“单调性”条件:对于任意x > y和a > b,有f(x, a) + f(y, b) > f(y, a) + f(x, b)。这些函数在图论的若干领域,特别是化学图论中自然出现。Wang证明了所谓的“贪心”树最大化该量,而“交替贪心”树最小化该量。本文的目标是解决逆问题:我们精确刻画哪些树对于这两个问题是极值的。

英文摘要:

Among all trees on $n$ vertices with a given degree sequence, how do we maximise or minimise the sum over all adjacent pairs of vertices $x$ and $y$ of $f(\mathrm{deg} x, \mathrm{deg} y)$? Here $f$ is a fixed symmetric function satisfying a 'monotonicity' condition that \[ f(x, a) + f(y, b) > f(y, a) + f(x, b) \quad \mbox{for any $x > y$ and $a > b$} . \] These functions arise naturally in several areas of graph theory, particularly chemical graph theory. Wang showed that the so-called 'greedy' tree maximises this quantity, while an 'alternating greedy' tree minimises it. Our aim in this paper is to solve the inverse problem: we characterise precisely which trees are extremal for these two problems.
