Edge-to-vertex m-detour monophonic number of a graph

Abstract For a connected graph G = (V, E) of order at least three, the monophonic distance dm(u, v) is the length of a longest u − v monophonic path in G. A u − v path of length dm(u, v) is called a u − v detour monophonic. For subsets A and B of V, the m-monophonic dis...

Sumario:Abstract For a connected graph G = (V, E) of order at least three, the monophonic distance dm(u, v) is the length of a longest u &#8722; v monophonic path in G. A u &#8722; v path of length dm(u, v) is called a u &#8722; v detour monophonic. For subsets A and B of V, the m-monophonic distance Dm(A, B) is defined as Dm(A, B) = max{dm(x, y) : x &#8712; A, y &#8712; B}. A u &#8722; v path of length Dm(A, B) is called a A &#8722; B m-detour monophonic path joining the sets A, B &#8838; V, where u &#8712; A and v &#8712; B. A set S &#8838; E is called an edge-to-vertex m-detour monophonic set of G if every vertex of G is incident with an edge of S or lies on a m-detour monophonic path joining a pair of edges of S. The edge-to-vertex mdetour monophonic number Dmev(G) of G is the minimum order of its edge-to-vertex m-detour monophonic sets and any edge-to-vertex m-detour monophonic set of order Dmev(G) is an edge-to-vertex mdetour monophonic basis of G. Some general properties satisfied by this parameter are studied. The edge-to-vertex m-detour monophonic number of certain classes of graphs are determined. It is shown that for positive integers r, d and k &#8805; 4 with r < d, there exists a connected graph G such that radm(G) = r, diamm(G) = d and Dmev(G) = k.
