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
)
≤

, and the bound is sharp. |
