Abstract

In a graph G, the distance d(u,v) between a pair of vertices u and v is the length of a shortest path joining them. A vertex v is a boundary vertex of a vertex u if for all The boundary graph B(G) based on a connected graph G is a simple graph which has the vertex set as in G. Two vertices u and v are adjacent in B(G) if either u is a boundary of v or v is a boundary of u. If G is disconnected, then each vertex in a component is adjacent to all other vertices in the other components and is adjacent to all of its boundary vertices within the component. Given a positive integer m, the mth iterated boundary graph of G is defined as A graph G is periodic if for some m. A graph G is said to be an eventually periodic graph if there exist positive integers m and k >0 such that We give the necessary and sufficient condition for a graph to be eventually periodic.
