Abstract
Abstract A packing of a graph G is a subset P of the vertex set of G such that the closed neighborhoods of any two distinct vertices of P do not intersect. We study graphs with a unique packing of the maximum cardinality. We present several general properties for such graphs. These properties are used to characterize the trees with a unique maximum packing. Two characterizations are presented where one of them is inductive based on five operations.
期刊介绍:
The Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory publishes high-quality refereed original papers. Occasionally, very authoritative expository survey articles and notes of exceptional value can be published. The journal is mainly devoted to the following topics in Graph Theory: colourings, partitions (general colourings), hereditary properties, independence and domination, structures in graphs (sets, paths, cycles, etc.), local properties, products of graphs as well as graph algorithms related to these topics.
