## Abstract The path number of a graph __G__, denoted __p(G)__, is the minimum number of edgeβdisjoint paths covering the edges of __G.__ LovΓ‘sz has proved that if __G__ has __u__ odd vertices and __g__ even vertices, then __p(G)__ β€ 1/2 __u__ + __g__ β 1 β€ __n__ β 1, where __n__ is the total numbe
## Abstract The upper bound for the harmonious chromatic number of a graph that has been given by SinβMin Lee and John Mitchem is improved.
An upper bound for the harmonious chromatic number of a graph G is given. Three corollaries of the theorem are theorems or improvements of the theorems of Miller and Pritikin. The assignment of colors to the vertices of a graph such that each vertex has exactly one color has been studied for well o
The kdomination number of a graph G, y k ( G ) , is the least cardinality of a set U of verticies such that any other vertex is adjacent to at least k vertices of U. We prove that if each vertex has degree at least k. then YAG) 5 kp/(k + 1).
Using a technique developed by A. Nilli (1991, Discrete Math. 91, 207 210), we estimate from above the Cheeger number of a finite connected graph G of small degree (2(G) 5) admitting sufficiently distant edges. ## 2001 Academic Press Let G=(V(G), E(G)) be a finite connected graph. The Cheeger numb
