Aida Abiad, Wieb Bosma, Thijs van Veluw

AI总结:

本文研究非正则图的Hoffman界紧性,提出分解定理与组合定理以刻画Hoffman着色结构,完全分类锥图和线图的Hoffman可着色性,并导出计算连通Hoffman可着色图的算法。

摘要:

Hoffman界是图的色数的一个著名谱界,已知在例如二部图等情况下是紧的。虽然Hoffman着色(达到该界的着色)此前已在正则图中被研究过,但对于一般图所知甚少。我们研究了Hoffman界的紧性,特别关注非正则图,得出了关于Hoffman着色图结构的若干结果。特别地,我们证明了分解定理,刻画了Hoffman着色的结构,并利用它完全分类了锥图和线图的Hoffman可着色性。我们还证明了一个部分逆命题,即组合定理,由此导出了一种算法,用于计算给定顶点数和颜色数的所有连通Hoffman可着色图。由于已知若干图着色参数被夹在Hoffman界和色数之间,作为我们结果的副产品,我们获得了这些色参数的值。

英文摘要:

Hoffman's bound is a well-known spectral bound on the chromatic number of a graph, known to be tight for instance for bipartite graphs. While Hoffman colorings (colorings attaining the bound) were studied before for regular graphs, for general graphs not much is known. We investigate tightness of the Hoffman bound, with a particular focus on irregular graphs, obtaining several results on the graph structure of Hoffman colorings. In particular, we prove a Decomposition Theorem, which characterizes the structure of Hoffman colorings, and we use it to completely classify Hoffman colorability of cone graphs and line graphs. We also prove a partial converse, the Composition Theorem, leading to an algorithm for computing all connected Hoffman colorable graphs for some given number of vertices and colors. Since several graph coloring parameters are known to be sandwiched between the Hoffman bound and the chromatic number, as a byproduct of our results, we obtain the values of these chromatic parameters.
