Isomorphisms and properties of TAR reconfiguration graphs for zero forcing and other -set parameters

Novi H. Bong, Joshua Carlson, Bryan Curtis +2

An -TAR (token addition/removal) reconfiguration graph has as its vertices sets that satisfy some property , with an edge between two sets if one is obtained from the other b…

The multi-robber damage number of a graph

Joshua Carlson, Meghan Halloran, Carolyn Reinhart

In many variants of the game of Cops and Robbers on graphs, multiple cops play against a single robber. In 2019, Cox and Sanaei introduced a variant of the game that gives the robb…

Minimal Zero Forcing Sets

Boris Brimkov, Joshua Carlson

In this paper, we study minimal (with respect to inclusion) zero forcing sets. We first investigate when a graph can have polynomially or exponentially many distinct minimal zero f…

Generalizing forbidden induced subgraph characterizations of high throttling numbers

Jurgen Kritschgau, Josh Carlson

Zero forcing is a process that models the spread of information throughout a graph as white vertices are forced to turn blue using a color change rule. The idea of throttling, intr…

The Hopping Forcing Rule

Joshua Carlson, John Petrucci

Zero forcing is a combinatorial game played on graphs that can be used to model the spread of information with repeated applications of a color change rule. In general, a zero forc…

The damage throttling number of a graph

Joshua Carlson, Robin Eagleton, Jesse Geneson +3

The cop throttling number of a graph, introduced in 2018 by Breen et al., optimizes the balance between the number of cops used and the number of rounds required to catch the robbe…
