The edit distance function of some graphs

Combinatorics 2018-05-14 v2

Abstract

The edit distance function of a hereditary property H\mathscr{H} is the asymptotically largest edit distance between a graph of density p[0,1]p\in[0,1] and H\mathscr{H}. Denote by PnP_n and CnC_n the path graph of order nn and the cycle graph of order nn, respectively. Let C2nC_{2n}^* be the cycle graph C2nC_{2n} with a diagonal, and Cn~\widetilde{C_n} be the graph with vertex set {v0,v1,,vn1}\{v_0, v_1, \ldots, v_{n-1}\} and E(Cn~)=E(Cn){v0v2}E(\widetilde{C_n})=E(C_n)\cup \{v_0v_2\}. Marchant and Thomason determined the edit distance function of C6C_6^{*}. Peck studied the edit distance function of CnC_n, while Berikkyzy et al. studied the edit distance of powers of cycles. In this paper, by using the methods of Peck and Martin, we determine the edit distance function of C8C_8^{*}, Cn~\widetilde{C_n} and PnP_n, respectively.
