On tensor product graphs

Abstract: The tensor product G ⊕ H of graphs G and H is the graph with point set V(G) × V(H) where (υ1, ν1) adj (υ2, ν2) if, and only if, u1 adj υ2 and ν1 adj ν2. We obtain a characterization of graphs of the form G ⊕ H where G or H is K2.

“…In the case of Markov chains on graphs described by adjacency matrices, the tensor product of transition matrices correspond to taking the graph tensor product [35] of the underlying graphs. One important class of graphs formed from a tensor product of graphs is the bipartite double cover of a given graph G. If the adjacency matrix of G is given by A, then the bipartite double cover of G is given by the adjacency matrix A ⊗ K 2 , where K 2 = 0 1 1 0 [36].…”

“…It is possible to show that performing a random walk on the tensor product graph G × is equivalent to performing a simultaneous random walk on G 1 and G 2 . There are many other important properties derived from the generalized product between graphs [7], [22], [23]. Therefore, the tensor product is a very interesting candidate in the inexact graph matching context, especially in the graph kernels family [2], [19], [24].…”

“…The symmetric digraph D ( A ( G ) ) is obtained from G by replacing each edge of G by a symmetric pairzf arcs (a loop by a directed loop) and is denoted by 6. The bigraph B(G) is readily seen to be the graph K, x G, the Kronecker product [24] (also called tensor product [20] and conjunction [13]) of the graphs K, and G. Given a digraph D the underlying graph G ( D ) of D is the graph (possibly a multigraph) obtained by disregarding the orientation of the arcs in D. Thus each arc (vi, u j ) of D becomes an edge vivj of G ( D ) . In Figure 3 we show Lhe graph C, [the (undirectei) cycle, of length 41, the syrnmuetric digraph C,, the underlying graph G(C,) of C,, and the bigraph B(C,).…”

“…permutation matrices P and Q such that PAQ is a symmetric matrix. Equivalently, D ( B ) is symmetric iff B can be represented in the form K , x G for some graph G. These graphs have been characterized by Sampathkumar [20]. An alternative characterization is the following: Theorem 2.1.…”
