Edge-chromatic -critical graphs and Overfull Conjecture for graphs with maximum degree
Chunhui Ge, Gregory Gutin, Xuli Qi
Let be a simple graph with maximum degree and chromatic index . A graph is called edge-chromatic -critical if and for every p…
On distance spectral radius of power hypertrees with given number of pendant paths of fixed length
Yanna Wang, Xuli Qi
The distance spectral radius of a connected hypergraph is the largest eigenvalue of the distance matrix of the hypergraph. A pendant path of length l with l greater than or equal t…
On the Hilton-Zhao vertex-splitting conjecture
Xuli Qi, Yanrui Feng
Let be a simple graph with order , maximum degree , and chromatic index , respectively. A graph is edge-chromatic critical if for every proper…
The average distance of spanning trees in terms of independence number
Zhibin Du, Xuli Qi
Let be a connected graph with vertex set , and denote by the distance from to in , for any . The average distance of an -vertex con…
A new improvement to the Overfull Conjecture
Xuli Qi, Chunhui Ge, Yanrui Feng
Let be a simple graph with order , maximum degree $\D(G)$, minimum degree and chromatic index , respectively. A graph is called {\em $\D$-critical} if $χ'(…
Bounds for eccentricity-based parameters of graphs
Yunfang Tang, Xuli Qi, Douglas B. West
The \emph{eccentricity} of a vertex in a graph , denoted by , is the maximum distance from to other vertices in . We study extremal problems for the average e…
Precoloring extension of Vizing's Theorem for multigraphs
Yan Cao, Guantao Chen, Guangming Jing +2
Let be a graph with maximum degree and maximum multiplicity . Vizing and Gupta, independently, proved in the 1960s that the chromatic index of is at most $Δ(G)…
The Kirchhoff indices and the matching numbers of unicyclic graphs
Xuli Qi, Bo Zhou, Zhibin Du
The Kirchhoff index of a connected graph is the sum of resistance distances between all unordered pairs of vertices in the graph. It found considerable applications in a variety of…
