So we can define the distance between two points on G as the length of a shortest curve joining them along G . The beans function B G ( x ) of a connected graph G is defined as the maximum number of points on G such that any pair of points have distance at least x > 0. We shall show a recursive formula for B G ( x ) which enables us to determine the value of B G ( x ) for all x ≤ 1 by evaluating it only for 1 / 2 < x ≤ 1. As applications of this recursive formula, we shall propose an algorithm for computing B G ( x ) for a given value of x ≤ 1, and determine the beans functions of the complete graphs K n .","PeriodicalId":37096,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of Graphs","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67545680","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A graph is an α-graph if it admits an α-labeling. In this work, we study a new alternative to construct α-graphs using, the well-known, series-parallel operations on smaller α-graphs. As an application of the series operation, we show that all members of a subfamily of all trees with maximum degree 4, obtained using vertex amalgamation of copies of the path P11, are α-graphs. We also show that the one-point union of up to four copies of Kn,n is an α-graph. In addition we prove that any α-graph of order m and size n is an induced subgraph of a graph of order m+ 2 and size m+ n. Furthermore, we prove that the Cartesian product of the bipartite graph K2,n and the path Pm is an α-graph.","PeriodicalId":37096,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of Graphs","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43418374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also adapt the classic algorithm of Ruskey et al. and that of Barnes and Savage to obtain some enumerative results about forcibly biconnected graphical degree sequences of given length n and forcibly biconnected graphical partitions of given even integer n . Based on these enumerative results we make some conjectures such as: when n is large, (1) the proportion of forcibly biconnected graphical degree sequences of length n among all zero-free graphical degree sequences of length n is asymptotically a constant C (0 < C < 1); (2) the proportion of forcibly biconnected graphical partitions of even n among all forcibly connected graphical partitions of n is asymptotically 0.","PeriodicalId":37096,"journal":{"name":"Theory and Applications of Graphs","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67545606","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
