A vertex in a subgraph of $Q_k$ is {\\em full} if its degree is $k$. We apply the Kruskal-Katona Theorem to compute the maximum number of full vertices an induced subgraph on $n\\leq 2^k$ vertices of $Q_k$ can have, as a function of $k$ and $n$. This is then used to determine $\\min(\\max(|V(H_1)|, |V(H_2)|))$ where (i) $H_1$ and $H_2$ are induced subgraphs of $Q_k$, and (ii) together they cover all the edges of $Q_k$, that is $E(H_1)\\cup E(H_2) = E(Q_k)$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2011-12-13T20:14:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05A15", "05C35" ], "keywords": [ "induced subgraph", "dimensional hypercube", "full vertices", "kruskal-katona theorem", "maximum number" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 16, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1112.3015A" } } }
