The v-number of t-closed neighborhood ideals
Abstract
We give a combinatorial characterization of the v-number of a t-closed neighborhood ideal associated to a graph G, and investigate its relation with other invariants such as the t-domination number and the smallest size of a ball of radius t in the graph G. We present several new cases where it is satisfied that the v-number is bounded above by the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity. We analyze the behavior of the v-number of a t-closed neighborhood ideal with respect to the parameter t. Lastly, we compute explicit formulas for the v-number in the case of paths, cycles, and caterpillars, and analyze the case of Hamming graphs.
