Title
A Note On Excellent Graphs
Abstract
A graph G is said to be excellent if given any vertex x of G, there is a gamma - set of G containing x. It is known that any non - excellent graph can be imbedded in an excellent graph. For example for every graph G, its corona G o K-1 is excellent, but the difference gamma(G o K-1) - gamma(G) may be high. In this paper we give a construction to imbed a non excellent graph G in an excellent graph H such that gamma(H) <= gamma(G) + 2. We also show that given a non - excellent graph G, there is subdivision of G which is excellent. The excellent subdivision number of a graph G, ESdn(G) is the minimum number of edges of G to be subdivided to get an excellent subdivision graph H. We obtain upper bounds for ESdn(G). If any one of these upper bounds for ESdn(G) is attained, then the set of all vertices of G which are not in any gamma - set of G is an independent set.
