On divisibility relation graphs

Combinatorics 2025-07-10 v1

Abstract

For each positive integer nn, we define the divisibility relation graph DnD_n whose vertex set is the set of divisors of nn, and in which two vertices are adjacent if one is a divisor of the other. This type of graph is a special case of graphs associated with a partial order, which have been widely studied in the literature. In this work, we determine various graph-theoretic invariants of divisibility relation graphs, such as their clique and independence numbers, and their planarity. We also discuss various spectral properties that are discovered by our numerical experiments.
