Determination of the prime bound of a graph
Abstract
Given a graph , a subset of is a module of if for each , is adjacent to all the elements of or to none of them. For instance, , and () are modules of called trivial. Given a graph , (respectively ) denotes the largest integer such that there is a module of which is a clique (respectively a stable) set in with . A graph is prime if and if all its modules are trivial. The prime bound of is the smallest integer such that there is a prime graph with , and . We establish the following. For every graph such that and is not an integer, . Then, we prove that for every graph such that where , or . Moreover if and only if or its complement admits isolated vertices. Lastly, we show that for every non prime graph such that and .
