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
A bijection between words and multisets of necklaces
2012
Two of the present authors have given in 1993 a bijection Phi between words on a totally ordered alphabet and multisets of primitive necklaces. At the same time and independently, Burrows and Wheeler gave a data compression algorithm which turns out to be a particular case of the inverse of Phi. In the present article, we show that if one replaces in Phi the standard permutation of a word by the co-standard one (reading the word from right to left), then the inverse bijection is computed using the alternate lexicographic order (which is the order of real numbers given by continued fractions) on necklaces, instead of the lexicographic order as for Phi(-1). The image of the new bijection, ins…
Total and fractional total colourings of circulant graphs
2008
International audience; In this paper, the total chromatic number and the fractional total chromatic number of circulant graphs are studied. For cubic circulant graphs we give upper bounds on the fractional total chromatic number and for 4-regular circulant graphs we find the total chromatic number for some cases and we give the exact value of the fractional total chromatic number in most cases.
Fixed point theory for multivalued generalized nonexpansive mappings
2012
A very general class of multivalued generalized nonexpansive mappings is defined. We also give some fixed point results for these mappings, and finally we compare and separate this class from the other multivalued generalized nonexpansive mappings introduced in the recent literature.
Generalized Schröder permutations
2013
We give the generating function for the integer sequence enumerating a class of pattern avoiding permutations depending on two parameters: m and p. The avoided patterns are the permutations of length m with the largest element in the first position and the second largest in one of the last p positions. For particular instances of m and p we obtain pattern avoiding classes enumerated by Schroder, Catalan and central binomial coefficient numbers, and thus, the obtained two-parameter generating function gathers under one roof known generating functions and expresses new ones. This work generalizes some earlier results of Barcucci et al. (2000) [2], Kremer (2000) [5] and Kremer (2003) [6].
Unavoidable sets and circular splicing languages
2017
Circular splicing systems are a formal model of a generative mechanism of circular words, inspired by a recombinant behaviour of circular DNA. They are defined by a finite alphabet A, an initial set I of circular words, and a set R of rules. In this paper, we focus on the still unknown relations between regular languages and circular splicing systems with a finite initial set and a finite set R of rules represented by a pair of letters ( ( 1 , 3 ) -CSSH systems). When R = A × A , it is known that the set of all words corresponding to the splicing language belongs to the class of pure unitary languages, introduced by Ehrenfeucht, Haussler, Rozenberg in 1983. They also provided a characteriza…
Restricted 123-avoiding Baxter permutations and the Padovan numbers
2007
AbstractBaxter studied a particular class of permutations by considering fixed points of the composite of commuting functions. This class is called Baxter permutations. In this paper we investigate the number of 123-avoiding Baxter permutations of length n that also avoid (or contain a prescribed number of occurrences of) another certain pattern of length k. In several interesting cases the generating function depends only on k and is expressed via the generating function for the Padovan numbers.
The Natural Order-Generic Collapse for ω-Representable Databases over the Rational and the Real Ordered Group
2001
We consider order-generic queries, i.e., queries which commute with every order-preserving automorphism of a structure's universe. It is well-known that first-order logic has the natural order-generic collapse over the rational and the real ordered group for the class of dense order constraint databases (also known as finitely representable databases). I.e., on this class of databases over 〈Q, <〉 or 〈R, <〉, addition does not add to the expressive power of first-order logic for defining order-generic queries. In the present paper we develop a natural generalization of the notion of finitely representable databases, where an arbitrary (i.e. possibly infinite) number of regions is allowed. We …
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 …
Enumerable classes of total recursive functions: Complexity of inductive inference
1994
This paper includes some results on complexity of inductive inference for enumerable classes of total recursive functions, where enumeration is considered in more general meaning than usual recursive enumeration. The complexity is measured as the worst-case mindchange (error) number for the first n functions of the given class. Three generalizations are considered.
