Abstract

We give a formula for the v-number of a graded ideal that can be used to compute this number. Then, we show that for the edge ideal I ( G ) of a graph G , the induced matching number of G is an upper bound for the v-number of I ( G ) when G is very well-covered, or G has a simplicial partition, or G is well-covered connected and contains neither four, nor five cycles. In all these cases, the v-number of I ( G ) is a lower bound for the regularity of the edge ring of G . We classify when the induced matching number of G is an upper bound for the v-number of I ( G ) when G is a cycle and classify when all vertices of a graph are shedding vertices to gain insight into the family of W 2 -graphs.
