Fractional coloring with local demands and applications to degree-sequence bounds on the independence number

T Kelly, L Postle - Journal of Combinatorial Theory, Series B, 2024 - Elsevier
In a fractional coloring, vertices of a graph are assigned measurable subsets of the real line
and adjacent vertices receive disjoint subsets; the fractional chromatic number of a graph is …

Improving the Caro–Wei bound and applications to Turán stability

T Kelly, L Postle - Discrete Applied Mathematics, 2024 - Elsevier
We prove that if G is a graph and f (v)≤ 1/(d (v)+ 1/2) for each v∈ V (G), then either G has an
independent set of size at least∑ v∈ V (G) f (v) or G contains a clique K such that∑ v∈ K f …

[HTML][HTML] Bounds and extremal graphs for degenerate subsets, dynamic monopolies, and partial incentives

C Brause, S Ehard, D Rautenbach - Discrete Mathematics, 2019 - Elsevier
The famous lower bound α (G)≥∑ u∈ V (G) 1 d G (u)+ 1 on the independence number α
(G) of a graph G due to Caro and Wei is known to be satisfied with equality if and only if the …

Cliques, Degrees, and Coloring: Expanding the ω, Δ, χ paradigm

T Kelly - 2019 - uwspace.uwaterloo.ca
Many of the most celebrated and influential results in graph coloring, such as Brooks'
Theorem and Vizing's Theorem, relate a graph's chromatic number to its clique number or …

J Harant, S Mohr - Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory, 2023 - dmgt.uz.zgora.pl
We propose new bounds on the domination number and on the independence number of a
graph and show that our bounds compare favorably to recent ones. Our bounds are …
