1 1 Trees A graph is called a tree, if it is connected and has no cycles. A star is a tree with one vertex adjacent to all other vertices. Theorem 1 For every simple graph G with n 1 vertices, the following four properties are equivalent (A) G is connect (B) G is connected and has n 1 (C) G has n 1 (D) For every pair u,v of vertices in G, there is exactly one u,vpath. Proof. A B C D A Problem 1 Let T be a tree and let P and Q be two disjoint paths of the same length in T. Prove that T contains another path longer than P and longer than Q. Problem 2 Let d 1 d 2... d n & 0 be n integers. Prove that there is a tree T with degrees d 1,...,d n if and only if d 1 +d d n = 2n 2. 12 2 Graceful labeling of trees. Definition 1 AgraphGissaidtobedecomposableintosubgraphsH 1,...,H m, if no H i has an isolated vertex, and {E(H 1 ),E(H 2 ),...,E(H m )} is a partitioning of E(H). If all {H i } are isomorphic to a graph H, G is called H-decomposable. H H decomposition F F decomposition 23 H 34 HowtoconstructaT-decompositionofK 7 ;M-decompositionofK 7? K 7 T M 45 Given a labeling & of the vertices of a graph G, for every edge uv, the length of uv is defined as &(u) &(v). Definition 2 Given a labeling & of the vertices of a graph G, for every edge uv, the length of uv is defined as &(u) &(v). Given a tree T = (V,E) with n vertices, a labeling of its vertices with integers 0,1,...,n 1 is called graceful if 1. different vertices h and 2. the lengths of the edges are distinct integers 1,2,...,n 1. 56 Conjecture 1 (Ringel, 1964) For any tree T with m edges (m 0), graph K 2m+1 is T-decomposable. Theorem 2 If T is a tree with m edges which has a graceful labeling, then K 2m+1 is decomposable into 2m+1 copies of T. Proof. Label the vertices of K 2m+1 by 0,1,2,...,2m; view the vertices as placed around a circle. Let & : V(T) {0,1,...,m} be a graceful labeling of T. The 2m+1 copies of T are constructed by the following rule: Fork = 0,...,2m,theverticesofk th copyarek,k+1,...,k+ m, where the addition k+m is understood in the modular sense: 2m + 1 = 0. Vertices k + i and k + j, in the k th copy of T are adjacent iff i and j are adjacent in the graceful labeling of T Finish the proof. 67 Problem 3 Construct graceful labelings of the trees below. Problem 4 Construct an S-decomposition of K 13 for the tree S below: 78 Definition 3 A tree T is called uniform, if r V(T) such that all vertices on the same distance from r have the same vertex degrees. Let (a 0,a 1,...,a k ) denote the string(t), k is the largest distance from r to any vertex in T, and a i denotes the degree of the vertices on the distance i from r Examp the shaded vertex is the root. Problem 5 Given (a 0,a 1,...,a k ), construct a graceful labeling of the corresponding uniform tree. 89 3 Universal rooted trees Definition 4 Let S(V,E;x 0 ) and T(U,F;y 0 ) be two directed rooted trees with all edges directed from the root. Tree S is said to be embedable into T, if there is a one-to-one mapping f : V U, from V into U such that 1. f(x 0 ) = y 0 ; and 2. for every edge x x E of S, the pair f(x )f(x ) is an edge in T. Tree S Tree T 910 Definition 5 A rooted tree U is called n-universal if every rooted tree S with at most n vertices can be embedded into U. 3 universal tree 4 universal tree 1011 Symbolic representation of rooted trees. B 1 B 2 B 3 B 4 C 1 C 2 C 1 C 2 B 1 B 4 B 1,B 2,B 3,B 4 are the branches of S; all branches are also rooted trees. 1112 How to construct a (smallest) n-universal rooted tree? U n U n 1 n 1 U n 1 2 U n 1 3 U n 1 Theorem 3 Prove that for every n 1, U n is an n-universal rooted tree. Let &(n) denote the number of vertices in the tree U n. Then, &(n) = 1+&(n 1)+&( n 1 2 )+&( n 1 )+...+&( n 1 3 n 1 ). 1213 4 Uniform trees Definition 6 1. A tree with one vertex is uniform. 2. If S is a uniform tree and k 1 is an integer, then the following tree T is also uniform: the root of T has k branches, each isomorphic to S. 3. The set of uniform trees consists of those trees can be obtained by repeated applications of #2. Theorem 4 A tree T is uniform iff the vertex degree of any two vertices on the same distance from the root of T have the same vertex degree. Proof. Theorem 5 Let &(n) denote the number of uniform trees with at most n vertices. Then Proof. &(n) = 1+&(n 1)+&( n 1 2 )+&( n 1 )+...+&( n 1 3 n 1 ). Corollary 1 n 1, &(n) = &(n). 1314 Theorem 6 For an arbitrary tree T(V,E), let &(t) denote the number of non-isomorphic uniform trees that can be embedded into T. Then &(t) = V(T). Proof. By induction on the number n of vertices of T. For n = 1, the statement is straightforward. Let it be correct for all trees with n 1 vertices, and let T be a tree with n vertices. Denote B 1,B 2,...,B r the branches of the root of T. For each of these branches, B i & n, therefore i = 1,...,r, &(b i ) = V(B i ). For any uniform tree embedable in exactly s branches, we create s nonisomorphic uniform tree embedable into T, as shown on the Figure below. A uniform tree is embeddable into three branches of T Three distinct uniform trees are embeddable into T 14
