Symbolic powers of cover ideal of very well-covered and bipartite graphs

Abstract

Let $G$ be a graph with $n$ vertices and $S=\mathbb{K}[x_1,\dots ,x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $\mathbb{K}$. Assume that $J(G)$ is the cover ideal of $G$ and $J(G{)}^{(k)}$ is its $k$-th symbolic power. We prove that if $G$ is a very well-covered graph such that $J(G)$ has linear resolution, then $J(G{)}^{(k)}$ has linear resolution, for every integer $k\ge 1$. We also prove that for a every very well-covered graph $G$, the depth of symbolic powers of $J(G)$ forms a non-increasing sequence. Finally, we determine a linear upper bound for the regularity of powers of cover ideal of bipartite graph.
