The Well-Covered Dimension of Products of Graphs

Combinatorics 2015-03-13 v3

Abstract

We discuss how to find the well-covered dimension of a graph that is the Cartesian product of paths, cycles, complete graphs, and other simple graphs. Also, a bound for the well-covered dimension of Kn×GK_n\times G is found, provided that GG has a largest greedy independent decomposition of length c<nc<n. Formulae to find the well-covered dimension of graphs obtained by vertex blowups on a known graph, and to the lexicographic product of two known graphs are also given.
