Growth: A Journal of Mathematics and Mathematics Education
ISSN: xxxx-xxxx
Growth: A Journal of Mathematics and Mathematics Education aims to provide a publication platform for high quality undergraduate research in mathematics and in mathematical pedagogy. The technical scope of the journal is combinatorial mathematics, broadly interpreted—the editorial board will consider all submissions in their areas of interest. All submitted articles must have an undergraduate research component and must be certified by a senior researcher. All submissions will be peer reviewed according to standard practices in academic mathematics. Precise editorial policies are set by the editorial board.

Let \(\gamma(G)\) be the domination number of a graph \(G\). The bondage number \(b(G)\) of a nonempty graph \(G\) is the minimum cardinality among all sets of edges \(X\) for which \(\gamma(G – X) > \gamma(G)\).
In this paper we show that \(b(G) \leq \Delta(G)\) for any block graph \(G\), and we characterize all block graphs with \(b(G) = \Delta(G).\)

We report on difficulties in applying traditional clustering procedures to discrete data. We describe a graph theoretical approach in clustering binary vectors where the number of clusters is not given in advance. New clustering procedures are combined from several algorithms and heuristics from graph theory.

In this paper, we derive some inequalities on the existence of balanced arrays (B-arrays) of strength six and with two symbols by using some results involving moments from Statistics. Besides providing illustrative examples, we will make brief comments on the use of these combinatorial arrays in Statistical Design of Experiments.

We estimate the number of labelled loop-free Eulerian oriented graphs with multiple edges with \(n\) vertices by using an \(n\)-dimensional Cauchy integral. An asymptotic formula is obtained for the case where the multiplicity of each edge is \(O(\log n)\).

The number of hypohamiltonian and that of hypotraceable \(n\)-vertex digraphs are both bounded below by a superexponential function of \(n\) for \(n \geq 6\) and \(n \geq 7\), respectively.

In a graph \(G = (V, E)\), a set \(S \subset V\) is a dominating set if each vertex of \(V – S\) is adjacent to at least one vertex in \(S\).Approximately 1000 papers have been written on domination-related concepts, with more than half of them appearing in the literature in the last five years. Obviously, a comprehensive survey is beyond the scope of this paper, so a brief overview is presented.

Let \(G\) be a cubic graph containing no subdivision of the Petersen graph. If \(G\) has a \(2\)-factor \(F\) consisting of two circuits \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) such that \(C_1\) is chordless and \(C_2\) has at most one chord, then \(G\) is edge-\(3\)-colorable.This result generalizes an early result by Ellingham and is a partial result of Tutte’s edge-\(3\)-coloring conjecture.
