Abstract

The central graph of a graph G is denoted as C(G) and is obtained from G by subdividing each edge of G exactly once and joining all other non adjacent vertices of G. In this paper, we prove that for any connected graph G, Y (C(G)≤p-1 and for any tree T, Y(C(T)≤p-l wherel is the number of pendant vertices of G and we characterise Connected Unicyclic graphs for which Y(C(G)=p-1.
