Admissible Property of Graphs in Terms of Independence Number

For a positive integer k , a graph G is said to have the property I k if each component of G has independence number at most k . The I 1 - admission number of a graph G , denoted by η ( G , I 1 ) , is the cardinality of a smallest vertex subset D such that V ( G ) = N G [ D ] or each component of G...

Summary:For a positive integer k , a graph G is said to have the property I k if each component of G has independence number at most k . The I 1 - admission number of a graph G , denoted by η ( G , I 1 ) , is the cardinality of a smallest vertex subset D such that V ( G ) = N G [ D ] or each component of G - N G [ D ] is a clique. In this paper, we show that for a connected graph G of order n , if G ∉ { P 3 , C 6 } , then η ( G , I 1 ) ≤ 2 n 7 , and the bound is sharp.
