Using PageRank Algorithm in Analyzing Dictionary Graphs and PageRank in Dynamic Graphs

In this thesis we are going to analyze the dictionary graphs and some other kinds of graphs using the PagerRank algorithm. We calculated the correlation between the degree and PageRank of all nodes for a graph obtained from Merriam-Webster dictionary, a French dictionary and WordNet hypernym and synonym dictionaries. Our conclusion was that PageRank can be a good tool to compare the quality of dictionaries. We studied some artificial social and random graphs. We found that when we omitted some random nodes from each of the graphs, we have not noticed any significant changes in the ranking of the nodes according to their PageRank. We also discovered that some social graphs selected for our study were less resistant to the changes of PageRank.

Fixed point results for multivalued contractions on graphs and their applications

Nous présentons dans cette thèse des théorèmes de point fixe pour des contractions multivoques définies sur des espaces métriques, et, sur des espaces de jauges munis d’un graphe. Nous illustrons également les applications de ces résultats à des inclusions intégrales et à la théorie des fractales. Cette thèse est composée de quatre articles qui sont présentés dans quatre chapitres. Dans le chapitre 1, nous établissons des résultats de point fixe pour des fonctions multivoques, appelées G-contractions faibles. Celles-ci envoient des points connexes dans des points connexes et contractent la longueur des chemins. Les ensembles de points fixes sont étudiés. La propriété d’invariance homotopique d’existence d’un point fixe est également établie pour une famille de Gcontractions multivoques faibles. Dans le chapitre 2, nous établissons l’existence de solutions pour des systèmes d’inclusions intégrales de Hammerstein sous des conditions de type de monotonie mixte. L’existence de solutions pour des systèmes d’inclusions différentielles avec conditions initiales ou conditions aux limites périodiques est également obtenue. Nos résultats s’appuient sur nos théorèmes de point fixe pour des G-contractions multivoques faibles établis au chapitre 1. Dans le chapitre 3, nous appliquons ces mêmes résultats de point fixe aux systèmes de fonctions itérées assujettis à un graphe orienté. Plus précisément, nous construisons un espace métrique muni d’un graphe G et une G-contraction appropriés. En utilisant les points fixes de cette G-contraction, nous obtenons plus d’information sur les attracteurs de ces systèmes de fonctions itérées. Dans le chapitre 4, nous considérons des contractions multivoques définies sur un espace de jauges muni d’un graphe. Nous prouvons un résultat de point fixe pour des fonctions multivoques qui envoient des points connexes dans des points connexes et qui satisfont une condition de contraction généralisée. Ensuite, nous étudions des systèmes infinis de fonctions itérées assujettis à un graphe orienté (H-IIFS). Nous donnons des conditions assurant l’existence d’un attracteur unique à un H-IIFS. Enfin, nous appliquons notre résultat de point fixe pour des contractions multivoques définies sur un espace de jauges muni d’un graphe pour obtenir plus d’information sur l’attracteur d’un H-IIFS. Plus précisément, nous construisons un espace de jauges muni d’un graphe G et une G-contraction appropriés tels que ses points fixes sont des sous-attracteurs du H-IIFS.

Studies on Fuzzy Graphs

In this thesis an attempt to develop the properties of basic concepts in fuzzy graphs such as fuzzy bridges, fuzzy cutnodes, fuzzy trees and blocks in fuzzy graphs have been made. The notion of complement of a fuzzy graph is modified and some of its properties are studied. Since the notion of complement has just been initiated, several properties of G and G available for crisp graphs can be studied for fuzzy graphs also. Mainly focused on fuzzy trees defined by Rosenfeld in [10] , several other types of fuzzy trees are defined depending on the acyclicity level of a fuzzy graph. It is observed that there are selfcentered fuzzy trees. Some operations on fuzzy graphs and prove that complement of the union two fuzzy graphs is the join of their complements and complement of the join of two fuzzy graphs is union of their complements. The study of fuzzy graphs made in this thesis is far from being complete. The wide ranging applications of graph theory and the interdisciplinary nature of fuzzy set theory, if properly blended together could pave a way for a substantial growth of fuzzy graph theory.

On Distance Energy of Graphs

The D-eigenvalues of a graph G are the eigenvalues of its distance matrix D, and the D-energy ED(G) is the sum of the absolute values of its D-eigenvalues. Two graphs are said to be D-equienergetic if they have the same D-energy. In this note we obtain bounds for the distance spectral radius and D-energy of graphs of diameter 2. Pairs of equiregular D-equienergetic graphs of diameter 2, on p = 3t + 1 vertices are also constructed.

A Note on Energy of Some Graphs

ON DISTANCE ENERGY OF GRAPHS

The D-eigenvalues of a graph G are the eigenvalues of its distance matrix D, and the D-energy ED(G) is the sum of the absolute values of its D-eigenvalues. Two graphs are said to be D-equienergetic if they have the same D-energy. In this note we obtain bounds for the distance spectral radius and D-energy of graphs of diameter 2. Pairs of equiregular D-equienergetic graphs of diameter 2, on p = 3t + 1 vertices are also constructed.

GALLAI AND ANTI-GALLAI GRAPHS OF A GRAPH

Abstract. The paper deals with graph operators-the Gallai graphs and the anti-Gallai graphs. We prove the existence of a finite family of forbidden subgraphs for the Gallai graphs and the anti-Gallai graphs to be H-free for any finite graph H. The case of complement reducible graphs-cographs is discussed in detail. Some relations between the chromatic number, the radius and the diameter of a graph and its Gallai and anti-Gallai graphs are also obtained.

Antimedian graphs

Antimedian graphs are introduced as the graphs in which for every triple of vertices there exists a unique vertex x that maximizes the sum of the distances from x to the vertices of the triple. The Cartesian product of graphs is antimedian if and only if its factors are antimedian. It is proved that multiplying a non-antimedian vertex in an antimedian graph yields a larger antimedian graph. Thin even belts are introduced and proved to be antimedian. A characterization of antimedian trees is given that leads to a linear recognition algorithm.

Energies of some non-regular graphs

The energy of a graph G is the sum of the absolute values of its eigenvalues. In this paper, we study the energies of some classes of non-regular graphs. Also the spectrum of some non-regular graphs and their complements are discussed.
