Graphs with large rank numbers and rank numbers of subdivided stars

A -ranking of a graph is a function such that if then every path contains a vertex such that . The rank number of , denoted , is the minimum such that a -ranking exists for . It is known that given a graph and a positive integer the question of whether is NP-complete. In this paper we characterize g...
