Incomplete vertices in the prime graph on conjugacy class sizes of finite groups

2013

Abstract Given a finite group G, consider the prime graph built on the set of conjugacy class sizes of G. Denoting by π 0 the set of vertices of this graph that are not adjacent to at least one other vertex, we show that the Hall π 0 -subgroups of G (which do exist) are metabelian.

Markov Chains and Electrical Networks

2020

There is a natural connection between electrical networks and so called reversible Markov chains. An example for such a chain is the symmetric graph random walk which, in each step, jumps to a randomly chosen graph neighbor at equal probability. This connection is studied here in some detail. As an application, we prove the statement that if such a graph random walk is recurrent, then it is recurrent also on each subgraph. (Although this statement is rather plausible, it is hard to show by different means.) In particular, the graph random walk on a percolation cluster of the planar integer lattice is recurrent.

Two graphs with a common edge

2014

Let G = G1 ∪ G2 be the sum of two simple graphs G1,G2 having a common edge or G = G1 ∪ e1 ∪ e2 ∪ G2 be the sum of two simple disjoint graphs G1,G2 connected by two edges e1 and e2 which form a cycle C4 inside G. We give a method of computing the determinant det A(G) of the adjacency matrix of G by reducing the calculation of the determinant to certain subgraphs of G1 and G2. To show the scope and effectiveness of our method we give some examples

P-matrix completions under weak symmetry assumptions

2000

An n-by-n matrix is called a Π-matrix if it is one of (weakly) sign-symmetric, positive, nonnegative P-matrix, (weakly) sign-symmetric, positive, nonnegative P0,1-matrix, or Fischer, or Koteljanskii matrix. In this paper, we are interested in Π-matrix completion problems, that is, when a partial Π-matrix has a Π-matrix completion. Here, we prove that a combinatorially symmetric partial positive P-matrix has a positive P-matrix completion if the graph of its specified entries is an n-cycle. In general, a combinatorially symmetric partial Π-matrix has a Π-matrix completion if the graph of its specified entries is a 1-chordal graph. This condition is also necessary for (weakly) sign-symmetric …
