Abstract

Let F be a forest of order n. It is well known that if F ≠ Sn, a star of order n, then there exists an embedding of F into its complement  ̄F. In this note we consider a problem concerning the uniqueness of such an embedding.

Keywords: packings of graphs, uniquely embeddable graphs

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C70.
