Let [Formula: see text] be a family of connected graphs. A spanning subgraph [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] is called an [Formula: see text]-factor (component factor) of [Formula: see text] if each component of [Formula: see text] is in [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we study the component factors of the Cartesian product of graphs. Here, we take [Formula: see text] and show that every connected graph [Formula: see text] has a [Formula: see text]-factor where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is the maximum degree of an induced subgraph [Formula: see text] in [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text]. Also, we characterize graphs [Formula: see text] having a [Formula: see text]-factor.

Path Factor

For a set ℋ of connected graphs, a spanning subgraph H of a graph G is called an ℋ-factor of G if every component of H is isomorphic to a member ofℋ. An H-factor is also referred as a component factor. If each component of H is a star (resp. path), H is called a star (resp. path) factor. By a P≥ k-factor (k positive integer) we mean a path factor in which each component path has at least k vertices (i.e. it has length at least k − 1). A graph G is called a P≥ k-factor covered graph, if for each edge e of G, there is a P≥ k-factor covering e. In this paper, we prove that (1) a graph G has a {K1,1,K1,2, … ,K1,k}-factor if and only if bind(G) ≥ 1/k, where k ≥ 2 is an integer; (2) a connected graph G is a P≥ 2-factor covered graph if bind(G) > 2/3; (3) a connected graph G is a P≥ 3-factor covered graph if bind(G) ≥ 3/2. Furthermore, it is shown that the results in this paper are best possible in some sense.

The diameter of a graph can be affected by the addition or deletion of edges. In this paper, we examine the Cartesian product of graphs whose diameter increases (decreases) by the deletion (addition) of a single edge. The problems of minimality and maximality of the Cartesian product of graphs with respect to its diameter are also solved. These problems are motivated by the fact that most of the interconnection networks are graph products and a good network must be hard to disrupt and the transmissions must remain connected even if some vertices or edges fail.

Let G = (V (G),E(G)) be any simple undirected graph. The open hop neighborhood of v ϵ V(G) is the set 𝑁_𝐺^2(𝑣) = {u ϵ V(G):  𝑑_𝐺 (u,v) = 2}. Then G induces a topology τ_G on V (G) with base consisting of sets of the form F_G^2[A] = V(G) \ N_G^2 [A] where N_G^2 [A] = A ∪ {v ϵ V(G):  𝑁_𝐺^2(𝑣) ∩ A ≠ ∅ } and A ranges over all subsets of V (G). In this paper, we describe the topologies induced by the complement of a graph, the join, the corona, the composition and the Cartesian product of graphs.

Let G be a connected graph with n vertices and let k be an integer such that 2 ? k ? n. The generalized connectivity kk(G) of G is the greatest positive integer l for which G contains at least l internally disjoint trees connecting S for any set S ? V (G) of k vertices. We focus on the generalized connectivity of the strong product G1 _ G2 of connected graphs G1 and G2 with at least three vertices and girth at least five, and we prove the sharp bound k3(G1 _ G2) ? k3(G1)_3(G2) + k3(G1) + k3(G2)-1.

A dominating set $D$ for a graph $G$ is a subset of $V(G)$ such that any vertex not in $D$ has at least one neighbor in $D$. The domination number $\gamma(G)$ is the size of a minimum dominating set in G. Vizing's conjecture from 1968 states that for the Cartesian product of graphs $G$ and $H$, $\gamma(G)\gamma(H) \leq \gamma(G \Box H)$, and Clark and Suen (2000) proved that $\gamma(G)\gamma(H) \leq 2 \gamma(G \Box H)$. In this paper, we modify the approach of Clark and Suen to prove a variety of similar bounds related to total and paired domination, and also extend these bounds to the $n$-Cartesian product of graphs $A^1$ through $A^n$.

The Largest Eigenvalue

The distance spectral radius of a connected graph is the largest eigenvalue of its distance matrix. For integers [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text], we prove that among the connected graphs on [Formula: see text] vertices of given maximum degree [Formula: see text] with at least one cycle, the graph [Formula: see text] uniquely maximizes the distance spectral radius, where [Formula: see text] is the graph obtained from the disjoint star on [Formula: see text] vertices and path on [Formula: see text] vertices by adding two edges, one connecting the star center with a path end, and the other being a chord of the star.
