Abstract:

Let \( G \) be a graph and let \( 0 \leq p, q \) and \( p + q \leq 1 \). Suppose that each vertex of \( G \) gets a weight of \( 1 \) with probability \( p \), \( \frac{1}{2} \) with probability \( q \), and \( 0 \) with probability \( 1-p-q \), and vertex weight probabilities are independent. The \textit{fractional vertex cover reliability} of \( G \), denoted by \( \operatorname{FRel}(G;p,q) \), is the probability that the sum of weights at the end-vertices of every edge in \( G \) is at least \( 1 \). In this article, we first provide various computational formulas for \( \operatorname{FRel}(G;p,q) \) considering general graphs, basic graphs, and graph operations. Secondly, we determine the graphs which maximize \( \operatorname{FRel}(G;p,q) \) for all values of \( p \) and \( q \) in the classes of trees, connected unicyclic and bicyclic graphs with fixed order, and determine the graphs which minimize it in the classes of trees and connected unicyclic graphs with fixed order. Our results on optimal graphs extend some known results in the literature about independent sets, and the tools we developed in this paper have the potential to solve the optimality problem in other classes of graphs as well.

Abstract:

Let \( G \) be an undirected graph. A \textit{vertex tree cover} of \( G \) is a collection of trees such that every vertex of \( G \) is incident with at least one tree. Similarly, an edge tree cover is a collection of trees such that every edge of \( G \) is contained in at least one tree. The tree cover number is defined as the minimum number of trees required in such a cover. In this paper, we demonstrate that when considering specific types of tree covers, only vertex permutations act as linear operators that preserve the tree cover number of \( G \).

Abstract:

To fulfil the requirements of task scheduling for processing massive amounts of graph data in cloud computing environments, this thesis offers the LGPPSO method, which is based on Particle Swarm Optimisation. The LGPPSO algorithm considers the task’s overall structure when initialising numerous particles in order to broaden the search range and raise the likelihood of finding an approximation optimal solution. We evaluated it in large-scale simulation trials with 100 performance-heterogeneous virtual machines (VMs) using both randomly generated and real application graphs, and evaluated its effectiveness against the CCSH and HEFT algorithms. The experimental findings demonstrate that, in both randomly generated graphs and real graph structure applications, significantly reducing the scheduling duration of large-scale graph data is the LGPPSO algorithm. For randomly generated 200 and 400 node tasks, respectively, the scheduling length is shortened by approximately 8.3% and 9.7% on average when compared to the HEFT algorithm. The LGPPSO technique minimises the scheduling length for actual graphical structure applications by an average of 14.6% and 16.9% for the Gaussian 100 and 200 node examples, respectively.

Abstract:

The application of graph theory is instrumental in the construction of a practical teaching mode structure for an ideological and political theory (IPE) course rooted in fuzzy system theory. In recent years, IPE education has received more and more attention. System theory can well construct the IPE teaching mode, so we need to have a good grasp of system theory. This paper starts with the significance of system theory in the practical teaching of IPE, finds the IPE curriculum that conforms to system theory, and constructs the basic mode of practical teaching of IPE on this basis. Using the idea of a multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation to quantify teachers’ teaching quality, this paper establishes an algorithm model to quantitatively measure teachers’ teaching quality fuzzy.

Abstract:

The new curriculum standards have put forward new requirements for high school English vocabulary teaching, and the English vocabulary eco-classroom under the guidance of ecological linguistics theory can precisely make up for the shortcomings in the traditional vocabulary classroom and meet the challenges of the times. However, most of the existing researches on ecological classroom are combined with macro English subjects, and few of them are about English vocabulary teaching. This study takes the principles of ecological linguistics as the theoretical basis to support the conceptual construction and morphological reliance of the vocabulary ecological classroom, supplemented by modal theory as the process orientation of the four major stages in the teaching process, constructs a new vocabulary ecological classroom model based on Markov chain model, and applies the ecological classroom model to high school English vocabulary teaching to verify its teaching effects. The experimental results show that the Markov chain-based high school English vocabulary teaching under the “ecological linguistics” model can help students’ interest in vocabulary learning and promote their vocabulary learning level, accounting for 15% improvement in the learning effect.

Abstract:

The question on how to colour a graph \( G \) when the number of available colours to colour \( G \) is less than that of the chromatic number \(\chi(G)\), such that the resulting colouring gives a minimum number of edges whose end vertices have the same colour, has been a study of great interest. Such an edge whose end vertices receive the same colour is called a bad edge. In this paper, we use the concept of \(\delta^{(k)}\)-colouring, where \( 1 \leq k \leq \chi(G)-1 \), which is a near proper colouring that permits a single colour class to have adjacency between the vertices in it and restricts every other colour class to be an independent set, to find the minimum number of bad edges obtained from the same for some wheel-related graphs. The minimum number of bad edges obtained from \(\delta^{(k)}\)-colouring of any graph \( G \) is denoted by \( b_k(G) \).

Abstract:

Let \( G \) be a simple finite graph. A \( k \)-coloring of \( G \) is a partition \(\pi = \{ S_1, \cdots, S_k \}\) of \( V(G) \) so that each \( S_i \) is an independent set and any vertex in \( S_i \) takes color \( i \). A \( k \)-coloring \(\pi = \{ S_1, \cdots, S_k \}\) of \( V(G) \) is a neighbor locating coloring if for any two vertices \( u, v \in S_i \), there is a color class \( S_j \) for which one of them has a neighbor in \( S_j \) and the other does not. The minimum \( k \) with this property is said to be the neighbor locating chromatic number of \( G \), denoted by \(\chi_{NL}(G)\). We initiate the study of the neighbor locating coloring of graphs resulting from three types of product of two graphs. We investigate the neighbor locating chromatic number of Cartesian, lexicographic, and corona products of two graphs. Finally, we untangle the neighbor locating chromatic number of any of the aforementioned three products of cycles, paths, and complete graphs.

Abstract:

The significance of advancing socialist S&T legal system building with Chinese features is examined in this paper, along with the extensive effects it has on S&T innovation and economic growth. Against the backdrop of an increasingly competitive global scientific and technology landscape, China’s ability to innovate and achieve sustainable growth hinges on the establishment of an ideal science and technology legislative framework. This essay first examines the primary obstacles to China’s development of a science, technology, and innovation (S&T) legal system, including inadequate protection for intellectual property rights, a flawed process for transforming scientific and technological advancements, and an insufficient system for encouraging enterprise innovation. Then, this research presents a quantitative analysis model to optimize the path of science and technology legal building by applying the improved particle swarm optimization method (PSO). The model takes into account a wide range of variables, including the degree of intellectual property protection, the strength of legal backing, the pace at which scientific and technological advancements are transformed, etc. Through the analysis of simulation data, the model also confirms the promotion effect of the legal system construction on the quantity of patent applications, the success rate of innovation projects, the enterprise R&D expenditure, and the expansion of the local economy. The study’s findings demonstrate that bolstering the science and technology legal system can effectively encourage businesses to boost R&D investment and foster regional economic development in addition to greatly raising the quantity of patent applications and the success rate of innovation projects. The rigorous intellectual property protection laws and ideal legal framework for the conversion of accomplishments greatly boost the regional innovation vitality and economic efficiency, particularly in the case study of Zhongguancun in Beijing and East China. Moreover, adaptive weighting is used to enhance the PSO algorithm and optimize the development of science and technology legal system’s comprehensive performance index, thereby confirming the model’s viability and efficacy. The study’s findings offer theoretical justification and helpful advice for China’s development of a science and technology legal framework, which is crucial for fostering innovation in these fields and boosting the country’s competitiveness.

Abstract:

At present, there are few systematic researches on macro-scale heterogeneous modeling and numerical simulation of dynamic mechanical properties of 3-D braided composites. In this paper, the parametric virtual simulation model of 3D five-directional braided composites is realized in the way of “point-line-solid” based on the integrated design idea of process-structure-performance. And the impact compression numerical simulation of the material is carried out by using multi-scale analysis method. The effects of strain rate and braiding angle on transverse impact compression properties and fracture characteristics of composites is studies and verified by comparing the test results with the numerical simulation results systematically. The dynamic failure mechanism of the matrix and fiber bundles during the impact compression process is revealed. The results show that the macro-scale heterogeneous simulation model of 3D five-directional braided composites established is effective, and the numerical simulation results agree well with the test results. The matrix fracture and shear failure of fiber bundles are presented simultaneously under transverse impact compression. The failure of fiber bundles and matrix mainly concentrates on two main fracture shear planes. And the included angle between the fracture shear planes and the vertical direction is consistent with the corresponding internal braiding angle of specimens.

Abstract:

For a graph \(G\), two vertices \(x,y\in G\) are said to be resolved by a vertex \(s\in G\), if \(d(x|s)\neq d(y|s)\). The minimum cardinality of such a resolving set \(\textit{R}\) in \(G\) is called its metric dimension. A resolving set \(\textit{R}\) is said to be fault-tolerant, if for every \(p\in R\), \(R-p\) preserves the property of being a resolving set. A fault-tolerant metric dimension of \(G\) is a minimal possible order fault-tolerant resolving set. A wide variety of situations, in which connection, distance, and connectivity are important aspects, call for the utilisation of metric dimension. The structure and dynamics of complex networks, as well as difficulties connected to robotics network design, navigation, optimisation, and facility positioning, are easier to comprehend as a result of this. As a result of the relevant concept of metric dimension, robots are able to optimise their methods of localization and navigation by making use of a limited number of reference locations. As a consequence of this, numerous applications of robotics, including collaborative robotics, autonomous navigation, and environment mapping, have become more precise, efficient, and resilient. The arithmetic graph \(A_l\) is defined as the graph with its vertex set as the set of all divisors of \(l\), where \(l\) is a composite number and \(l = p^{\gamma_1}_{1} p^{\eta_2}_{2}, \dots, p^{n}_{n}\), where \(p_n \geq 2\) and the \(p_i\)’s are distinct primes. Two distinct divisors \(x, y\) of \(l\) are said to have the same parity if they have the same prime factors (i.e., \(x = p_{1}p_{2}\) and \(y = p^{2}_{1}p^{3}_{2}\) have the same parity). Further, two distinct vertices \(x, y \in A_l\) are adjacent if and only if they have different parity and \(\gcd(x, y) = p_i\) (greatest common divisor) for some \(i \in \{1, 2, \dots, t\}\). This article is dedicated to the investigation of the arithmetic graph of a composite number \(l\), which will be referred to throughout the text as \(A_{l}\). In this study, we compute the fault-tolerant resolving set and the fault-tolerant metric dimension of the arithmetic graph \(A_{l}\), where \(l\) is a composite number.

Abstract:

For a graph \( G \) and a subgraph \( H \) of a graph \( G \), an \( H \)-decomposition of the graph \( G \) is a partition of the edge set of \( G \) into subsets \( E_i \), \( 1 \leq i \leq k \), such that each \( E_i \) induces a graph isomorphic to \( H \). In this paper, it is proved that every simple connected unicyclic graph of order five decomposes the \( \lambda \)-fold complete equipartite graph whenever the necessary conditions are satisfied. This generalizes a result of Huang, *Utilitas Math.* 97 (2015), 109–117.

Abstract:

We classify the geometric hyperplanes of the Segre geometries, that is, direct products of two projective spaces. In order to do so, we use the concept of a generalised duality. We apply the classification to Segre varieties and determine precisely which geometric hyperplanes are induced by hyperplanes of the ambient projective space. As a consequence we find that all geometric hyperplanes are induced by hyperplanes of the ambient projective space if, and only if, the underlying field has order \(2\) or \(3\).

Abstract:

A modification of Merino-Mǐcka-Mütze’s solution to a combinatorial generation problem of Knuth is proposed in this survey. The resulting alternate form to such solution is compatible with a reinterpretation by the author of a proof of existence of Hamilton cycles in the middle-levels graphs. Such reinterpretation is given in terms of a dihedral quotient graph associated to each middle-levels graph. The vertices of such quotient graph represent Dyck words and their associated ordered trees. Those Dyck words are linearly ordered via a rooted tree that covers all their tight, or irreducible, forms, offering an universal reference point of view to express and integrate the periodic paths, or blocks, whose concatenation leads to Hamilton cycles resulting from the said solution.

Abstract:

The hub cover pebbling number, \(h^{*}(G)\), of a graph $G$, is the least non-negative integer such that from all distributions of \(h^{*}(G)\) pebbles over the vertices of \(G\), it is possible to place at least one pebble each on every vertex of a set of vertices of a hub set for \(G\) using a sequence of pebbling move operations, each pebbling move operation removes two pebbles from a vertex and places one pebble on an adjacent vertex. Here we compute the hub cover pebbling number for wheel related graphs.

Abstract:

An outer independent double Roman dominating function (OIDRDF) on a graph \( G \) is a function \( f : V(G) \to \{0, 1, 2, 3\} \) having the property that (i) if \( f(v) = 0 \), then the vertex \( v \) must have at least two neighbors assigned 2 under \( f \) or one neighbor \( w \) with \( f(w) = 3 \), and if \( f(v) = 1 \), then the vertex \( v \) must have at least one neighbor \( w \) with \( f(w) \ge 2 \) and (ii) the subgraph induced by the vertices assigned 0 under \( f \) is edgeless. The weight of an OIDRDF is the sum of its function values over all vertices, and the outer independent double Roman domination number \( \gamma_{oidR}(G) \) is the minimum weight of an OIDRDF on \( G \). The \( \gamma_{oidR} \)-stability (\( \gamma^-_{oidR} \)-stability, \( \gamma^+_{oidR} \)-stability) of \( G \), denoted by \( {\rm st}_{\gamma_{oidR}}(G) \) (\( {\rm st}^-_{\gamma_{oidR}}(G) \), \( {\rm st}^+_{\gamma_{oidR}}(G) \)), is defined as the minimum size of a set of vertices whose removal changes (decreases, increases) the outer independent double Roman domination number. In this paper, we determine the exact values on the \( \gamma_{oidR} \)-stability of some special classes of graphs, and present some bounds on \( {\rm st}_{\gamma_{oidR}}(G) \). In addition, for a tree \( T \) with maximum degree \( \Delta \), we show that \( {\rm st}_{\gamma_{oidR}}(T) = 1 \) and \( {\rm st}^-_{\gamma_{oidR}}(T) \le \Delta \), and characterize the trees that achieve the upper bound.

Abstract:

We introduce a two-player game where the goal is to illuminate all edges of a graph. At each step the first player, called Illuminator, taps a vertex. The second player, called Adversary, reveals the edges incident with that vertex (consistent with the edges incident with the already tapped vertices). Illuminator tries to minimize the taps needed, and the value of the game is the number of taps needed with optimal play. We provide bounds on the value in trees and general graphs. In particular, we show that the value for the path on \( n \) vertices is \( \frac{2}{3} n + O(1) \), and there is a constant \( \varepsilon > 0 \) such that for every caterpillar on \( n \) vertices, the value is at most \( (1 – \varepsilon) n + 1 \).

Abstract:

Let \(G\) be a group, and let \(c\in\mathbb{Z}^+\cup\{\infty\}\). We let \(\sigma_c(G)\) be the maximal size of a subset \(X\) of \(G\) such that, for any distinct \(x_1,x_2\in X\), the group \(\langle x_1,x_2\rangle\) is not \(c\)-nilpotent; similarly we let \(\Sigma_c(G)\) be the smallest number of \(c\)-nilpotent subgroups of \(G\) whose union is equal to \(G\). In this note we study \(D_{2k}\), the dihedral group of order \(2k\). We calculate \(\sigma_c(D_{2k})\) and \(\Sigma_c(D_{2k})\), and we show that these two numbers coincide for any given \(c\) and \(k\).

Abstract:

The promotion of industrial digital transformation is an important breakthrough in the change of economic structure and physical space layout, which can promote the entire industrial chain to the high-end value chain and win more profit space and voice for the integration of domestic and international industries into the international cycle. This study takes the cities in the Yangtze River Delta Economic Belt as an example to deeply explore the spatial effect of digital transformation on the healthy transformation of traditional industrial structure, and constructs relevant spatial coupling models to carry out empirical verification by taking the opportunity of putting forward relevant assumptions. The experimental results show that the model is significant at a significance level of more than 5%, which is suitable for the selection of spatial measurement model. The mean square error of its network simulation output is 0.1333, which verifies the expected hypothesis and proves that the digital transformation of the model has a significant spatial driving effect on industrial upgrading.

Abstract:

In the context of today’s big data and information age, blended learning has gradually entered people’s vision. At present, the number of business Japanese learners in China is increasing, and the breadth and depth of business Japanese education are expanding in all aspects. Therefore, people gradually pay attention to the practice and exploration mode of Internet, Japanese teaching and mixed learning, and learning evaluation is an important part of them. In this study, the construction of hybrid learning evaluation index is studied in the form of algorithm optimization and experimental verification. It takes blended learning as the evaluation object, aiming to build an evaluation index system of blended learning and help teachers implement high-quality blended learning. Based on the learning theory, this study also proposes the guiding strategies for senior high school students’ business Japanese learning from the perspective of schools, teachers and students themselves. Through empirical research and hypothesis verification, it provides reference for business Japanese education and learning in senior high schools in China. The experimental results show that the Nivre model after our calculation and optimization is based on the new education concept and the era development environment, and constantly improves the mixed learning mode, which improves the quality of business Japanese learning. Through correlation analysis and reliability and validity tests, the accuracy of the model in different test sets exceeded 92\%, which was in line with expected assumptions and empirical tests. The model has certain practical value.

Abstract:

With development of Internet of Things, big data and artificial intelligence, cell phone signaling data, point-of-interest data and machine learning methods have been widely used in research of various fields of transportation. The use of big data processing techniques and machine learning methods to mine intercity travel data collected by various types of traffic detectors provides a new way of thinking to study travel mode selection behavior. In this paper, we pre-processed cell phone signaling data, geospatial data and interest point data around three aspects: personal attributes, travel attributes and travel mode attributes, and designed intercity travel target group extraction, travel chain extraction, travel mode extraction and travel purpose extraction algorithms, which provide basis for travel feature analysis and travel mode choice behavior prediction modeling.

Let \( G=(V,E) \) be a simple connected graph with vertex set \( G \) and edge set \( E \). The harmonic index of graph \( G \) is the value \( H(G)=\sum_{uv\in E(G)} \frac{2}{d_u+d_v} \), where \( d_x \) refers to the degree of \( x \). We obtain an upper bound for the harmonic index of trees in terms of order and the total domination number, and we characterize the extremal trees for this bound.

Abstract:

A \((p, g)\)-graph \(G\) is Euclidean if there exists a bijection \(f: V \to \{1, 2, \ldots, p\}\) such that for any induced \(C_3\)-subgraph \(\{v_1, v_2, v_3\}\) in \(G\) with \(f(v_1) < f(v_2) < f(v_3)\), we have that \(f(v_1) + f(v_2) > f(v_3)\). The Euclidean Deficiency of a graph \(G\) is the smallest integer \(k\) such that \(G \cup N_k\) is Euclidean. We study the Euclidean Deficiency of one-point union and one-edge union of complete graphs.

Abstract:

The dominating set of a graph \(G\) is a set of vertices \(D\) such that for every \(v \in V(G)\) either \(v \in D\) or \(v\) is adjacent to a vertex in \(D\). The domination number, denoted \(\gamma(G)\), is the minimum number of vertices in a dominating set. In 1998, Haynes and Slater [1] introduced paired-domination. Building on paired-domination, we introduce 3-path domination. We define a 3-path dominating set of \(G\) to be \(D = \{ Q_1,Q_2,\dots , Q_k\, |\:Q_i \text{ is a 3-path}\}\) such that the vertex set \(V(D) = V(Q_1) \cup V(Q_2) \cup \dots \cup V(Q_k)\) is a dominating set. We define the 3-path domination number, denoted by \(\gamma_{P_3}(G)\), to be the minimum number of 3-paths needed to dominate \(G\). We show that the 3-path domination problem is NP-complete. We also prove bounds on \(\gamma_{P_3}(G)\) and improve those bounds for particular families of graphs such as Harary graphs, Hamiltonian graphs, and subclasses of trees. In general, we prove \(\gamma_{P_3}(G) \leq \frac{n}{3}\).

Abstract:

Two colorings have been introduced recently where an unrestricted coloring \(c\) assigns nonempty subsets of \([k]=\{1,\ldots,k\}\) to the edges of a (connected) graph \(G\) and gives rise to a vertex-distinguishing vertex coloring by means of set operations. If each vertex color is obtained from the union of the incident edge colors, then \(c\) is referred to as a strong royal coloring. If each vertex color is obtained from the intersection of the incident edge colors, then \(c\) is referred to as a strong regal coloring. The minimum values of \(k\) for which a graph \(G\) has such colorings are referred to as the strong royal index of \(G\) and the strong regal index of \(G\) respectively. If the induced vertex coloring is neighbor distinguishing, then we refer to such edge colorings as royal and regal colorings. The royal chromatic number of a graph involves minimizing the number of vertex colors in an induced vertex coloring obtained from a royal coloring. In this paper, we provide new results related to these two coloring concepts and establish a connection between the corresponding chromatic parameters. In addition, we establish the royal chromatic number for paths and cycles.

Abstract:

A ranking on a graph \(G\) is a function \(f: V(G) \rightarrow \left\{1, 2, \ldots, k \right\}\) with the following restriction: if \(f(u)=f(v)\) for any \(u, v \in V(G)\), then on every \(uv\) path in \(G\), there exists a vertex \(w\) with \(f(w) > f(u)\). The optimality of a ranking is conventionally measured in terms of the \(l_{\infty}\) norm of the sequence of labels produced by the ranking. In \cite{jacob2017lp} we compared this conventional notion of optimality with the \(l_p\) norm of the sequence of labels in the ranking for any \(p \in [0,\infty)\), showing that for any non-negative integer \(c\) and any non-negative real number \(p\), we can find a graph such that the sets of \(l_p\)-optimal and \(l_{\infty}\)-optimal rankings are disjoint. In this paper we identify some graphs whose set of \(l_p\)-optimal rankings and set of \(l_{\infty}\)-optimal rankings overlap. In particular, we establish that for paths and cycles, if \(p>0\) then \(l_p\) optimality implies \(l_{\infty}\) optimality but not the other way around, while for any complete multipartite graph, \(l_p\) optimality and \(l_{\infty}\) optimality are equivalent.

Abstract:

We use a representation for the spanning tree where a parent function maps non-root vertices to vertices. Two spanning trees are defined to be adjacent if their function representations differ at exactly one vertex. Given a graph \(G\), we show that the graph \(H\) with all spanning trees of \(G\) as vertices and any two vertices being adjacent if and only if their parent functions differ at exactly one vertex is connected.

Abstract:

A \((0,1)\)-labeling of a set is said to be friendly if the number of elements of the set labeled 0 and the number labeled 1 differ by at most 1. Let \(g\) be a labeling of the edge set of a graph that is induced by a labeling \(f\) of the vertex set. If both \(g\) and \(f\) are friendly then \(g\) is said to be a cordial labeling of the graph. We extend this concept to directed graphs and investigate the cordiality of directed graphs. We show that all directed paths and all directed cycles are cordial. We also discuss the cordiality of oriented trees and other digraphs.

We propose and study the problem of finding the smallest nonnegative integer \(s\) such that a GDD\((m, n, 3; 0, \lambda)\) can be embedded into a BIBD\((mn + s, 3, \lambda)\). We find the values of \(s\) for all cases except for the case where \(n \equiv 5 \pmod{6}\) and \(m \equiv 1, 3 \pmod{6}\) and \(m \ge 3\), which remains as an open problem.

Abstract:

A simple graph \(G\) with \(p\) vertices is said to be vertex-Euclidean if there exists a bijection \(f: V(G) \rightarrow \{1, 2, \ldots, p\}\) such that \(f(v_1) + f(v_2) > f(v_3)\) for each \(C_3\)-subgraph with vertex set \(\{v_1, v_2, v_3\}\), where \(f(v_1) < f(v_2) < f(v_3)\). More generally, the vertex-Euclidean deficiency of a graph \(G\) is the smallest integer \(k\) such that \(G \cup N_k\) is vertex-Euclidean. To illustrate the idea behind this new graph labeling problem, we study the vertex-Euclidean deficiency of two new families of graphs called the complete fan graphs and the complete wheel graphs. We also explore some related problems, and pose several research topics for further study.

Abstract:

A signed magic rectangle \(SMR(m, n; r, s)\) is an \(m \times n\) array with entries from \(X\), where \(X = \{0, \pm1, \pm2, \ldots, \pm(ms – 1)/2\}\) if \(mr\) is odd and \(X = \{\pm1, \pm2, \ldots, \pm mr/2\}\) if \(mr\) is even, such that precisely \(r\) cells in every row and \(s\) cells in every column are filled, every integer from set \(X\) appears exactly once in the array, and the sum of each row and of each column is zero. In this paper, we prove that a signed magic rectangle \(SMR(m, n; r, 2)\) exists if and only if \(m = 2\) and \(n = r \equiv 0, 3 \pmod{4}\) or \(m, r \geq 3\) and \(mr = 2n\).

Abstract:

A graph \(G\) is asymmetric if its automorphism group is trivial. Asymmetric graphs were introduced by Erdős and Rényi [1]. They suggested the problem of starting with an asymmetric graph and removing some number, \(r\), of edges and/or adding some number, \(s\), of edges so that the resulting graph is non-asymmetric. Erdős and Rényi defined the degree of asymmetry of a graph to be the minimum value of \(r+s\). In this paper, we consider another property that measures how close a given non-asymmetric graph is to being asymmetric. Brewer et al defined the asymmetric index of a graph \(G\), denoted \(ai(G)\) is the minimum of \(r+s\) so that the resulting graph \(G\) is asymmetric [2]. It is noted that \(ai(G)\) is only defined for graphs with at least six vertices. We investigate the asymmetric index of both connected and disconnected graphs including paths, cycles, and grids, with the addition of up to two isolated vertices. Furthermore for a graph in these families \(G\) we determine the number of labelled asymmetric graphs that can be obtained by adding or removing \(ai(G)\) edges. This leads to the related question: Given a graph \(G\) where \(ai(G)=1\), what is the probability that for a randomly chosen edge \(e\), that \(G-e\) will be asymmetric? A graph is called minimally non-asymmetric if this probability is \(1\). We give a construction of infinite families of minimally non-asymmetric graphs.

Abstract:

A graph \(G\) is said to arrow the graphs \(F\) and \(H\), written \(G \rightarrow (F, H)\), if every red-blue coloring of \(G\) results in a red \(F\) or a blue \(H\). The primary question has been determining graphs \(G\) for which \(G \rightarrow (F, H)\). If we consider the version for which \(F = H\), then we can ask a different question: Given a graph \(G\), can we determine all graphs \(F\) such that \(G \rightarrow (F, F)\), or simply \(G \rightarrow F\)? We call this set of graphs the down-arrow Ramsey set of \(G\), or \(\downarrow G\). The down-arrow Ramsey set of cycles, paths, and small complete graphs are determined. Graph ideals and graph intersections are introduced and a method for computing down-arrow Ramsey sets is described.

We use a dynamic programming algorithm to establish a new lower bound on the domination number of complete cylindrical grid graphs of the form \(C_n\square P_m\), that is, the Cartesian product of a path and a cycle, when \(n\equiv 2\pmod{5}\), and we establish a new upper bound equal to the lower bound, thus computing the exact domination number for these graphs.

Abstract:

In this paper, we address computational questions surrounding the enumeration of non-isomorphic André planes for any prime power order \(q\). We are particularly focused on providing a complete enumeration of all such planes for relatively small orders (up to 125), as well as developing computationally efficient ways to count the number of isomorphism classes for other orders where enumeration is infeasible. André planes of all dimensions over their kernel are considered.

Abstract:

With the increasingly frequent exchanges between countries, my country’s demand for high-quality English translators has greatly increased. However, an important problem we are currently facing is that China’s translation talents are far behind the demand. An important reason for this phenomenon is that the traditional translation teaching is difficult to cultivate translators who can meet the market demand. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the traditional translation teaching mode. Translation teaching for English majors is an important part of translation teaching. Therefore, after evaluating the speech characteristics and speech data, this document first proposes a translation classification error detection model based on mfcc-rf. The acoustic function of the extracted 39 dimensional Mel inverse spectral coefficient is the input of the random forest classifier, and a classification error detection model is established. By analyzing the experimental results, the MFCC radio frequency translation error detection model has achieved high classification error detection accuracy under three types of errors (rising, falling and shortening). The experimental results show that, with semantic similarity as the design principle of distractors, using the word vector training method of the context word prediction model to automatically generate distractors can ultimately improve the comprehensive training efficiency of college English majors’ translation ability.

Abstract:

A node in the \(n\)-dimensional hypercube \(Q_n\) is called an odd node (resp. an even node) if the sum of all digits of the node is odd (resp. even). Let \(F\subset E(Q_n)\) and let \(L\) be a linear forest in \(Q_n-F\) such that \(|E(L)|+|F|\leq n-2\) for \(n\geq 2\). Let \(x\) be an odd node and \(y\) an even node in \(Q_n\) such that none of the paths in \(L\) has \(x\) or \(y\) as internal node or both of them as end nodes. In this note, we prove that there is a Hamiltonian path between \(x\) and \(y\) passing through \(L\) in \(Q_n-F\). The upper bound \(n-2\) on \(|E(L)|+|F|\) is sharp.

Abstract:

As a product of the revolutionary war years, red culture, with its strong vitality, strong cohesion and extraordinary charm, with its incomparable positive energy, resists vulgar and flattering culture, promotes people to rebuild their faith, purify their minds, stimulate their motivation, and promote the process of cultural power. Yan’an, represented by red culture, is rich in resources. This is the holy land of Chinese revolution, the first batch of famous historical and cultural cities named by the State Council, and the three major education bases of patriotism, revolutionary tradition, and Yan’an spirit. The development and utilization of such resources have great political, cultural, educational and economic values. This research is based on the development of red culture, and uses the distributed machine learning system to realize in the system architecture of parameter server. In the distributed system set in this study, node downtime and network interruption are random. When the parameter server system adopts static scheduling, it leads to poor scalability and robustness. The experimental results show that under the intelligent simulation of machine learning system, the development of red culture resources meets the expected assumptions, and the accuracy of the model is relatively high.

Abstract:

In this paper, we introduce a class of restricted symmetric permutations, called half-exceeded symmetric permutations. We deduce the enumerative formula of the permutations of \(\{1,2,\ldots,2n\}\) and give it a refinement according to the distribution of the inverse pairs. As a consequence, we obtain new combinatorial interpretations of some well-known sequences, such as Stirling numbers of the second kind and ordered Bell numbers. Moreover, we introduce the ordered Stirling number of the second kind and establish a combinatorial proof of the recursive relation of the sequence.

Abstract:

The total labeling of a graph \(G=(V,E)\) is a bijection from the union of the vertex set and the edge set of \(G\) to the set \(\{1,2,\dots,|V(G)|+|E(G)|\}\). The edge-weight of an edge under a total labeling is the sum of the label of the edge and the labels of the end vertices of that edge. The vertex-weight of a vertex under a total labeling is the sum of the label of the vertex and the labels of all the edges incident with that vertex. A total labeling is called edge-magic or vertex-magic when all the edge-weights or all the vertex-weights are the same, respectively. When all the edge-weights or all the vertex-weights are different then a total labeling is called edge-antimagic or vertex-antimagic total, respectively.

In this paper we deal with the problem of finding a~total labeling of some classes of graphs that is simultaneously vertex-magic and edge-antimagic or simultaneously vertex-antimagic and edge-magic, respectively.
We show several results for stars, paths and cycles.

The created public art sculpture is a material form that expresses the public spirit of the city. This paper proposes a deep model capable of enhancing the aesthetic quality of public art sculptures. The model uses the inverse mapping network of the augmented network to weaken the restriction of paired data sets required for training, and at the same time designs an effective loss function, that is, constructs the color and texture losses that are actively learned in training through generative adversarial rules, and enhances generative sculpture. The total variational loss of smoothness that improves the aesthetic quality of the sculpture to some extent. On this basis, this paper improves the design idea of content consistency loss. Experiments on the interaction between public art sculptures and the urban environment and the enhancement of aesthetics.

Abstract:

With the increasing scale of college enrollment and the increasing complexity of college teaching management, college finance department should innovate the traditional financial management mode while adapting to the reform of teaching management, and make use of the openness and real-time characteristics of Internet to improve the quality of college financial management and reduce the risk of college financial management. To this end, this paper designs a university financial system based on multi-scale deep learning. In the hardware design, the system adds multiple sensors and scans all the information in the financial database using a coordinator. In the software design, the weights that can connect the financial information of the same attribute are set by establishing a database form; according to the multilayer perceptual network topology, a full interconnection model based on multi-scale deep learning is designed to realize the system’s deep extraction of data. The experimental results show that the financial risk is based on the risk warning capability for university finance, and compared with the system under the traditional design, the university finance system designed in this time has the most categories of financial information parameters extracted.

Abstract:

This work suggests predicting student performance using a Gaussian process model classification in order to address the issue that the prediction approach is too complex and the data set involved is too huge in the process of predicting students’ performance. In order to prevent overfitting, a sample set consisting of the three typical test outcomes from 465 undergraduate College English students is divided into training and test sets. The cross-validation technique is used in this study. According to the findings, Gaussian process model classification can accurately predict 92% of the test set with a prediction model, and it can also forecast students’ final exam marks based on their typical quiz scores. Furthermore, it is discovered that the prediction accuracy increases with the sample set’s distance from the normal distribution; this prediction accuracy rises to 96% when test scores with less than 60 points are taken out of the analysis.

Abstract:

Fix integers \(k, b, q\) with \(k \ge 2\), \(b \ge 0\), \(q \ge 2\). Define the function \(p\) to be: \(p(x) = kx + b\). We call a set \(S\) of integers \emph{\((k, b, q)\)-linear-free} if \(x \in S\) implies \(p^i(x) \notin S\) for all \(i = 1, 2, \dots, q-1\), where \(p^i(x) = p(p^{i-1}(x))\) and \(p^0(x) = x\). Such a set \(S\) is maximal in \([n] := \{1, 2, \dots, n\}\) if \(S \cup \{t\}, \forall t \in [n] \setminus S\) is not \((k, b, q)\)-linear-free. Let \(M_{k, b, q}(n)\) be the set of all maximal \((k, b, q)\)-linear-free subsets of \([n]\), and define \(g_{k, b, q}(n) = \min_{S \in M_{k, b, q}(n)} |S|\) and \(f_{k, b, q}(n) = \max_{S \in M_{k, b, q}(n)} |S|\). In this paper, formulae for \(g_{k, b, q}(n)\) and \(f_{k, b, q}(n)\) are proposed. Also, it is proven that there is at least one maximal \((k, b, q)\)-linear-free subset of \([n]\) with exactly \(x\) elements for any integer \(x\) between \(g_{k, b, q}(n)\) and \(f_{k, b, q}(n)\), inclusively.
