Vertex Removal and Vertex-Edge Domination

Minhui Li, Shumin Zhang, Fengming Dong

A vertex of a graph -dominates every edge incident with a vertex in its closed neighborhood . A set of vertices is a vertex-edge dominating set (-dominati…

Sufficient conditions for -free graphs to be Hamilton-connected

Xiaoqiong Xu, Shujie Chen, Fengming Dong +1

The toughness of a non-complete graph , denoted , is defined as \[ τ(G) = \min\left\{ \frac{|S|}{ω(G-S)} : S \subseteq V(G),\ ω(G-S) \geq 2 \right\}, \] where is…

Every 3-connected -free split graph of order at least 13 is Hamilton-connected

Tao Tian, Fengming Dong

A graph is -free if contains no induced subgraph isomorphic to any . A connected graph is a split graph if its v…

A neighborhood union condition for the existence of a spanning tree without samll degree vertices

Yibo Li, Fengming Dong, Huiqing Liu

For an integer k\ge2, a [2,k]-ST of a connected graph G is a spanning tree of G in which there are no vertices of degree between 2 and k. A [2,k]-ST is a natural extension of a hom…

Causal inference in connected populations with contagion

Subhankar Bhadra, Michael Schweinberger

We address a gap in the literature on causal inference in connected populations: while there is a growing body of work on estimating causal effects in connected populations, little…

Partial domination of middle graphs

Shumin Zhang, Minhui Li, Fengming Dong

For any graph , a subset is called {\it an isolating set} of if is an independent set of , where , and {\it…

A neighborhood union condition for the existence of a spanning tree without degree vertices

Yibo Li, Fengming Dong, Xiaolan Hu +1

For a connected graph , a spanning tree of is called a homeomorphically irreducible spanning tree (HIST) if has no vertices of degree . In this paper, we show tha…
