Degree sequences of highly irregular graphs

1997

AbstractWe call a simple graph highly irregular if each of its vertices is adjacent only to vertices with distinct degrees. In this paper we examine the degree sequences of highly irregular graphs. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a sequence of positive integers to be the degree sequence of a highly irregular graph.

Codimension growth of two-dimensional non-associative algebras

2007

Let F be a field of characteristic zero and let A be a two-dimensional non-associative algebra over F. We prove that the sequence c n (A), n =1,2,..., of codimensions of A is either bounded by n + 1 or grows exponentially as 2 n . We also construct a family of two-dimensional algebras indexed by rational numbers with distinct T-ideals of polynomial identities and whose codimension sequence is n + 1, n > 2.

Symmetric units and group identities

1998

In this paper we study rings R with an involution whose symmetric units satisfy a group identity. An important example is given by FG, the group algebra of a group G over a field F; in fact FG has a natural involution induced by setting g?g −1 for all group elements g∈G. In case of group algebras if F is infinite, charF≠ 2 and G is a torsion group we give a characterization by proving the following: the symmetric units satisfy a group identity if and only if either the group of units satisfies a group identity (and a characterization is known in this case) or char F=p >0 and 1) FG satisfies a polynomial identity, 2) the p-elements of G form a (normal) subgroup P of G and G/P is a Hamiltonia…

Incremental termination proofs and the length of derivations

1991

Incremental termination proofs, a concept similar to termination proofs by quasi-commuting orderings, are investigated. In particular, we show how an incremental termination proof for a term rewriting system T can be used to derive upper bounds on the length of derivations in T. A number of examples show that our results can be applied to yield (sharp) low-degree polynomial complexity bounds.

Lower space bounds for randomized computation

1994

It is a fundamental problem in the randomized computation how to separate different randomized time or randomized space classes (c.f., e.g., [KV87, KV88]). We have separated randomized space classes below log n in [FK94]. Now we have succeeded to separate small randomized time classes for multi-tape 2-way Turing machines. Surprisingly, these “small” bounds are of type n+f(n) with f(n) not exceeding linear functions. This new approach to “sublinear” time complexity is a natural counterpart to sublinear space complexity. The latter was introduced by considering the input tape and the work tape as separate devices and distinguishing between the space used for processing information and the spa…

On the family ofr-regular graphs with Grundy numberr+1

2014

Abstract The Grundy number of a graph G , denoted by Γ ( G ) , is the largest k such that there exists a partition of V ( G ) , into k independent sets V 1 , … , V k and every vertex of V i is adjacent to at least one vertex in V j , for every j i . The objects which are studied in this article are families of r -regular graphs such that Γ ( G ) = r + 1 . Using the notion of independent module, a characterization of this family is given for r = 3 . Moreover, we determine classes of graphs in this family, in particular, the class of r -regular graphs without induced C 4 , for r ≤ 4 . Furthermore, our propositions imply results on the partial Grundy number.

An exact, complete and efficient implementation for computing planar maps of quadric intersection curves

2005

We present the first exact, complete and efficient implementation that computes for a given set P=p1,...,pn of quadric surfaces the planar map induced by all intersection curves p1∩ pi, 2 ≤ i ≤ n, running on the surface of p1. The vertices in this graph are the singular and x-extreme points of the curves as well as all intersection points of pairs of curves. Two vertices are connected by an edge if the underlying points are connected by a branch of one of the curves. Our work is based on and extends ideas developed in [20] and [9].Our implementation is complete in the sense that it can handle all kind of inputs including all degenerate ones where intersection curves have singularities or pa…

Enumerating the Walecki-Type Hamiltonian Cycle Systems

2017

Let Kv be the complete graph on v vertices. A Hamiltonian cycle system of odd order v (briefly HCS(v)) is a set of Hamiltonian cycles of Kv whose edges partition the edge set of Kv. By means of a slight modification of the famous HCS(4n+1) of Walecki, we obtain 2n pairwise distinct HCS(4n+1) and we enumerate them up to isomorphism proving that this is equivalent to count the number of binary bracelets of length n, i.e. the orbits of Dn, the dihedral group of order 2n, acting on binary n-tuples.

Padding and the expressive power of existential second-order logics

1998

Padding techniques are well-known from Computational Complexity Theory. Here, an analogous concept is considered in the context of existential second-order logics. Informally, a graph H is a padded version of a graph G, if H consists of an isomorphic copy of G and some isolated vertices. A set A of graphs is called weakly expressible by a formula ϕ in the presence of padding, if ϕ is able to distinguish between (sufficiently) padded versions of graphs from A and padded versions of graphs that are not in A.

Reordering Method and Hierarchies for Quantum and Classical Ordered Binary Decision Diagrams

2017

We consider Quantum OBDD model. It is restricted version of read-once Quantum Branching Programs, with respect to “width” complexity. It is known that maximal complexity gap between deterministic and quantum model is exponential. But there are few examples of such functions. We present method (called “reordering”), which allows to build Boolean function g from Boolean Function f, such that if for f we have gap between quantum and deterministic OBDD complexity for natural order of variables, then we have almost the same gap for function g, but for any order. Using it we construct the total function REQ which deterministic OBDD complexity is \(2^{\varOmega (n/log n)}\) and present quantum OBD…
