关于正则图与棱柱图的坚韧度

On the Toughness of Regular Graphs and Prisms

Geoffrey Boyer, Wayne Goddard

AI总结:

本文研究正则图及棱柱图的坚韧度,证明不存在18阶坚韧度为5/2的5-正则图,构造含爪的4-正则坚韧度为2的图族,并给出棱柱图坚韧度的若干界与充分条件。

摘要:

我们对具有和不具有最大可能坚韧度(即 $r/2$)的 $r$-正则图给出了若干结果。Doty 和 Ferland 证明了对于除 $n=18$ 以外的所有偶数阶,存在坚韧度为 $5/2$ 的 $5$-正则图。通过计算机搜索,我们证明当 $n=18$ 时不存在这样的图。此外,我们给出了第一个包含爪的坚韧度为 $2$ 的 $4$-正则图族。对于图 $G$ 的棱柱图 $G \Box K_2$,我们提供了若干界,包括棱柱图与 $G$ 具有相同坚韧度的一个充分条件。特别地,我们证明如果 $G$ 的坚韧度为 $t\le \frac{1}{2}$,则其棱柱图的坚韧度为 $2t$;进一步地,任何 $r$-正则 $r$-连通膨胀图的棱柱图具有坚韧度 $r/2$(尽管它是 $(r+1)$-正则的),并且一般地,任何 $3$-正则图的棱柱图的坚韧度至多为 $3/2$。

英文摘要:

We contribute results on $r$-regular graphs that do and don't have the maximum possible toughness, namely $r/2$. Doty and Ferland showed the existence of a $5$-regular graph with toughness $5/2$ for all even orders except $n= 18$. Using a computer search we show that there does not exist such a graph for $n=18$. Also, we provide the first family of $4$-regular graphs with toughness $2$ that contains claws. For the prism $G \Box K_2$ of a graph~$G$, we provide several bounds including a sufficient condition for the prism to have the same toughness as~$G$. In particular, we show that if $G$ has toughness $t\le \frac{1}{2}$ then its prism has toughness $2t$; further, the prism of any $r$-regular $r$-connected inflation has toughness~$r/2$ (despite being $(r+1)$-regular) and in general the prism of any $3$-regular graph has toughness at most~$3/2$.
