Partially Square Graphs, Hamiltonicity and Circumference II
2000
Abstract Given a graph G, its partially square graph G∗ is a graph obtained by adding an edge uv for each pair u, v of vertices of G at distance 2 whenever the vertices u and v have a common neighbor x satisfying the condition NG(x) ⊆ NG[u] ∪ NG[v], where NG[x]= NG(x) ∪ {x}. In case G is a claw-free graph, G∗ is equal to G2, We define σ ∗ t = min{ ∑ x∈ d ∗ G (x): S is an independent set in G ∗ and ∣S∣ = t} , where d ∗ G (x) = ∣{y ∈ V∣ xy ∈ E(G∗)}∣ . We give for hamiltonicity and circumference new sufficient conditions depending on and we improve some known results.
Forbidden words in symbolic dynamics
2000
AbstractWe introduce an equivalence relation≃between functions from N to N. By describing a symbolic dynamical system in terms of forbidden words, we prove that the≃-equivalence class of the function that counts the minimal forbidden words of a system is a topological invariant of the system. We show that the new invariant is independent from previous ones, but it is not characteristic. In the case of sofic systems, we prove that the≃-equivalence of the corresponding functions is a decidable question. As a more special application, we show, by using the new invariant, that two systems associated to Sturmian words having “different slope” are not conjugate.
Generation of Valid Labeled Binary Trees
2003
International audience; Generating binary trees is a well-known problem. In this paper, we add some constraints to leaves of these trees. Such trees are used in the morphing of polygons, where a polygon P is represented by a binary tree T and each angle of P is a weight on a leaf of T. In the following, we give two algorithms to generate all binary trees, without repetitions, having the same weight distribution to their leaves and representing all parallel polygons to P.
Combinatorial aspects of L-convex polyominoes
2007
We consider the class of L-convex polyominoes, i.e. those polyominoes in which any two cells can be connected with an ''L'' shaped path in one of its four cyclic orientations. The paper proves bijectively that the number f"n of L-convex polyominoes with perimeter 2(n+2) satisfies the linear recurrence relation f"n"+"2=4f"n"+"1-2f"n, by first establishing a recurrence of the same form for the cardinality of the ''2-compositions'' of a natural number n, a simple generalization of the ordinary compositions of n. Then, such 2-compositions are studied and bijectively related to certain words of a regular language over four letters which is in turn bijectively related to L-convex polyominoes. In …
NP-completeness of the hamming salesman problem
1985
It is shown that the traveling salesman problem, where cities are bit strings with Hamming distances, is NP-complete.
Combinatorics of Finite Words and Suffix Automata
2009
The suffix automaton of a finite word is the minimal deterministic automaton accepting the language of its suffixes. The states of the suffix automaton are the classes of an equivalence relation defined on the set of factors. We explore the relationship between the combinatorial properties of a finite word and the structural properties of its suffix automaton. We give formulas for expressing the total number of states and the total number of edges of the suffix automaton in terms of special factors of the word.
Sturmian Graphs and a conjecture of Moser
2004
In this paper we define Sturmian graphs and we prove that all of them have a “counting” property. We show deep connections between this counting property and two conjectures, by Moser and by Zaremba, on the continued fraction expansion of real numbers. These graphs turn out to be the underlying graphs of CDAWGs of central Sturmian words. We show also that, analogously to the case of Sturmian words, these graphs converge to infinite ones.
Witness computation for solving geometric constraint systems
2014
International audience; In geometric constraint solving, the constraints are represented with an equation system F(U, X) = 0, where X denotes the unknowns and U denotes a set of parameters. The target solution for X is noted XT. A witness is a couple (U_W, X_W) such that F(U_W, X_W) = 0. The witness is not the target solution, but they share the same combinatorial features, even when the witness and the target lie on two distinct connected components of the solution set of F(U, X) = 0. Thus a witness enables the qualitative study of the system: the detection of over- and under-constrained systems, the decomposition into irreducible subsystems, the computation of subsystems boundaries. This …
Approximate convex hull of affine iterated function system attractors
2012
International audience; In this paper, we present an algorithm to construct an approximate convex hull of the attractors of an affine iterated function system (IFS). We construct a sequence of convex hull approximations for any required precision using the self-similarity property of the attractor in order to optimize calculations. Due to the affine properties of IFS transformations, the number of points considered in the construction is reduced. The time complexity of our algorithm is a linear function of the number of iterations and the number of points in the output convex hull. The number of iterations and the execution time increases logarithmically with increasing accuracy. In additio…
Complete, Exact and Efficient Implementation for Computing the Adjacency Graph of an Arrangement of Quadrics
2007
The original publication is available at www.springerlink.com ; ISBN 978-3-540-75519-7 ; ISSN 0302-9743 (Print) 1611-3349 (Online); International audience; We present a complete, exact and efficient implementation to compute the adjacency graph of an arrangement of quadrics, \ie surfaces of algebraic degree~2. This is a major step towards the computation of the full 3D arrangement. We enhanced an implementation for an exact parameterization of the intersection curves of two quadrics, such that we can compute the exact parameter value for intersection points and from that the adjacency graph of the arrangement. Our implementation is {\em complete} in the sense that it can handle all kinds of…
