Bounding mean orders of sub-$k$-trees of $k$-trees

Combinatorics 2024-04-09 v1

Abstract

For a kk-tree TT, we prove that the maximum local mean order is attained in a kk-clique of degree 11 and that it is not more than twice the global mean order. We also bound the global mean order if TT has no kk-cliques of degree 22 and prove that for large order, the kk-star attains the minimum global mean order. These results solve the remaining problems of Stephens and Oellermann [J. Graph Theory 88 (2018), 61-79] concerning the mean order of sub-kk-trees of kk-trees.
