Tóm tắt

Let $$\mathcal G$$ be an infinite family of connected graphs and let k be a positive integer. We say that k is forcing for $$\mathcal G$$ if for all $$G \in \mathcal G$$ but finitely many, the following holds. Any $$\{-1,1\}$$ -weighing of the edges of G for which all connected subgraphs on k edges are positively weighted implies that G is positively weighted. Otherwise, we say that it is weakly forcing for $$\mathcal G$$ if any such weighing implies that the weight of G is bounded from below by a constant. Otherwise we say that k collapses for $$\mathcal G$$ . We classify k for some of the most prominent classes of graphs, such as all connected graphs, all connected graphs with a given maximum degree and all connected graphs with a given average degree.
