The motivation to study representable graphs came from algebra, but this subject is interesting from graph theoretical, computer science, and combinatorics on words points of view. In this paper, we prove that for n greater than 3, the line graph of an n-wheel is non-representable. This not only provides a new construction of non-repre- sentable graphs, but also answers an open question on representability of the line graph of the 5-wheel, the minimal non-representable graph. Moreover, we show that for n greater than 4, the line graph of the complete graph is also non-representable. We then use these facts to prove that given a graph G which is not a cycle, a path or a claw graph, the graph obtained by taking the line graph of G k-times is guaranteed to be non-representable for k greater than 3.展开更多

A clique-transversal set S of G is a set of vertices of G such that S meets all cliques of G. The clique-transversal number, denoted as τC(G), is the minimum cardinality of a clique-transversal set in G. The clique-graph of G, denoted as K(G), is the graph obtained by taking the cliques of G as vertices, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding cliques in G have nonempty intersection. Let F be a class of graphs G such that F = {G| K(G) is a tree}. In this paper the graphs in F having independent clique-transversal sets are shown and thus τC(G)/|G| ≤ 1/2 for all G ∈F.展开更多

In its base, such model is nonlinear with distributed parameters. Since general solution in closed-form for such model in time-domain is not available, certain simplifications have to be introduced. The pipeline in the paper has been divided to a cascaded network of n segments so that a model with lumped parameters could be reached. For segment modeling, a standard library of bond graphs element has been used. On the basis of models with lumped parameters, the effect of the number of segments, pipeline length and effective bulk modulus on the dynamics of long transmission line have been analyzed.展开更多

文摘Given a graph G, a subgraph C is called a clique of G if C is a complete subgraph of G maximal under inclusion and |C| ≥2. A clique-transversal set S of G is a set of vertices of G such that S meets all cliques of G. The clique-transversal number, denoted as τC(G), is the minimum cardinality of a clique-transversal set in G. The clique-graph of G, denoted as K(G), is the graph obtained by taking the cliques of G as vertices, and two vertices are adjacent if and only if the corresponding cliques in G have nonempty intersection. Let F be a class of graphs G such that F = {G| K(G) is a tree}. In this paper the graphs in F having independent clique-transversal sets are shown and thus τC(G)/|G| ≤ 1/2 for all G ∈F.
