The burning number of a graph $G$ is the smallest positive integer $k$ such that the vertex set of $G$ can be covered with balls of radii $0, 1, \dots, k-1$. A well-known conjecture by Bonato, Janssen and Roshabin states that any connected…

We give lower and upper bounds on the burning number of Hamming graphs, Johnson graphs, and halved cube graphs. For the lower bounds, we use the fact that $1$-skeletons of the eigenpolytopes of these graphs are isomorphic to the original…

The burning number conjecture states that the burning number of a connected graph is at most $\lceil \sqrt{n} \rceil.$ While the conjecture is unresolved, Land and Lu proved that the burning number of a connected graph is at most $…

The burning number $b(G)$ of a graph $G$ is the smallest number of turns required to burn all vertices of a graph if at every turn a new fire is started and existing fires spread to all adjacent vertices. The Burning Number Conjecture of…

Graph burning studies how fast a contagion, modeled as a set of fires, spreads in a graph. The burning process takes place in synchronous, discrete rounds. In each round, a fire breaks out at a vertex, and the fire spreads to all vertices…

The Burning Number Conjecture claims that for every connected graph $G$ of order $n,$ its burning number satisfies $b(G) \le \lceil \sqrt{n} \rceil.$ While the conjecture remains open, we prove that it is asymptotically true when the order…

Motivated by a graph theoretic process intended to measure the speed of the spread of contagion in a graph, Bonato, Janssen, and Roshanbin [Burning a Graph as a Model of Social Contagion, Lecture Notes in Computer Science 8882 (2014) 13-22]…

The Burning Number Conjecture, that a graph on $n$ vertices can be burned in at most $\lceil \sqrt{n} \ \rceil$ rounds, has been of central interest for the past several years. Much of the literature toward its resolution focuses on two…

Graph burning is a discrete-time process that models the spread of social contagion. Initially, all vertices are unburned. In each round, one unburned vertex is selected and burned, while any unburned vertex that has a burned neighbour from…

$H_q(n,d)$ is defined as the graph with vertex set ${\mathbb Z}_q^n$ and where two vertices are adjacent if their Hamming distance is at least $d$. The chromatic number of these graphs is presented for various sets of parameters $(q,n,d)$.…

We introduce a new graph parameter called the burning number, inspired by contact processes on graphs such as graph bootstrap percolation, and graph searching paradigms such as Firefighter. The burning number measures the speed of the…

The concept of graph burning and burning number ($bn(G)$) of a graph G was introduced recently [1]. Graph burning models the spread of contagion (fire) in a graph in discrete time steps. $bn(G)$ is the minimum time needed to burn a graph…

The burning number $b(G)$ of a graph $G$ was introduced by Bonato, Janssen, and Roshanbin [Lecture Notes in Computer Science 8882 (2014)] for measuring the speed of the spread of contagion in a graph. They proved for any connected graph $G$…

In this paper we study the graph parameter of burning number, introduced by Bonato, Janssen, and Roshanbin (2014). We are particular interested in determining the burning number of Circulant graphs. In this paper, we find upper and lower…

The Hamming graph $H(n,q)$ is defined on the vertex set $\{1,2,\ldots,q\}^n$ and two vertices are adjacent if and only if they differ in precisely one coordinate. Alon (1992) proved that for any sequence $v_1,\ldots,v_b$ of $b=\lceil\frac…

Given a graph $G$, the burning number of $G$ is the smallest integer $k$ for which there are vertices $x_1, x_2,\ldots,x_k$ such that $(x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_k)$ is a burning sequence of $G$. It has been shown that the graph burning problem is…

Graph burning is a model for the spread of social contagion. The burning number is a graph parameter associated with graph burning that measures the speed of the spread of contagion in a graph; the lower the burning number, the faster the…

The burning number of a graph $G$ is the smallest number $b$ such that the vertices of $G$ can be covered by balls of radii $0, 1, \dots, b-1$. As computing the burning number of a graph is known to be NP-hard, even on trees, it is natural…

The burning process on a graph $G$ starts with a single burnt vertex, and at each subsequent step, burns the neighbors of the currently burnt vertices, as well as one other unburnt vertex. The burning number of $G$ is the smallest number of…

Let $\Omega$ be a $m$-set, where $m>1$, is an integer. The Hamming graph $H(n,m)$, has $\Omega ^{n}$ as its vertex-set, with two vertices are adjacent if and only if they differ in exactly one coordinate. In this paper, we provide a proof…
