Title
An Introduction to Closed/Open Neighborhood Sums: Minimax, Maximin, and Spread.
Abstract
For a graph G of order vertical bar V(G)vertical bar = n and a real-valued mapping f : V(G) -> R, if S subset of V(G) then f (S) = Sigma(w is an element of S) f (w) is called the weight of S under f. The closed (respectively, open) neighborhood sum of f is the maximum weight of a closed (respectively, open) neighborhood under f, that is, NS[f] = max{f (N[v])vertical bar v is an element of V(G)} and NS(f) = max{f (N(v))vertical bar v is an element of V(G)}. The closed (respectively, open) lower neighborhood sum of f is the minimum weight of a closed (respectively, open) neighborhood under f, that is, NS-[f] = min{f (N[v])vertical bar v is an element of V(G)} and NS-(f) = min{f (N(v))vertical bar v is an element of V(G)}. For W subset of R, the closed and open neighborhood sum parameters are NSW[G] = min{NS[f]vertical bar f : V(G) -> W is a bijection} and NSW(G) = min{NS(f)vertical bar f : V(G) -> W is a bijection}. The lower neighbor sum parameters are NSW-[G] = max{NS-[f]vertical bar f : V(G) -> W is a bijection} and NSW-(G) = max{NS-(f)vertical bar f : V(G) -> W is a bijection}. For bijections f : V(G) -> {1, 2,..., n} we consider the parameters NS[G], NS(G), NS-[G] and NS-(G), as well as two parameters minimizing the maximum difference in neighborhood sums.
