Unlike Johnson graphs, induced subgraphs of Johnson graphs (JIS for short) do not seem to have been studied before. We give some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions for a graph to be JIS, including: in a JIS graph, any two maximal cliques share at most two vertices; all trees, cycles, and complete graphs are JIS; disjoint unions and Cartesian products of JIS graphs are JIS; every JIS graph of order n is an induced subgraph of J(m,2n) for some m <= n. This last result gives an algorithm for deciding if a graph is JIS. We also show that all JIS graphs are edge move distance graphs, but not vice versa.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-05-22T02:47:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "induced subgraph", "jis graph", "edge move distance graphs", "maximal cliques share", "vice versa" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 12, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1008.0595N" } } }
