Abstract:

A graph \(G\) is called a fractional \((k, m)\)-deleted graph if any \(m\) edges are removed from \(G\), then the resulting graph admits a fractional \(k\)-factor. In this paper, we prove that for integers \(k \geq 2\), \(m \geq 0\), \(n \geq 8k + 4m – 7\), and \(\delta(G) \geq k + m\), if
\[|N_G(x) \cup N_G(y)| \geq \frac{n}{2}\]
for each pair of non-adjacent vertices \(x, y\) of \(G\), then \(G\) is a fractional \((k, m)\)-deleted graph. The bounds for neighborhood union condition, order, and the minimum degree of \(G\) are all sharp.

Abstract:

A \(c\)-partite or multipartite tournament is an orientation of a complete \(c\)-partite graph. A digraph \(D\) is cycle complementary if there exist two vertex-disjoint directed cycles \(C\) and \(C’\) such that \(V(D) = V(C) \cup V(C’)\). The global irregularity of a digraph \(D\) is defined by
\[i_g(D) = \max\{\max(d^+(x), d^-(x)) – \min(d^+(y),d^-(y)) \mid x,y \in V(D)\}.\]
If \(i_g(D) = 0\), then \(D\) is regular, and if \(i_g(D) \leq 1\), then \(D\) is almost regular. We prove in this paper that every almost regular \(c\)-partite tournament with \(c \geq 3\) such that all partite sets have the same cardinality \(r \geq 4\) contains two complementary directed cycles of length \(3\) and \(|V(D)| – 3\).

Abstract:

In this paper, we determine the spectrum for \(super-perfect\) OQSs. OQSs are \(G\)-designs in which \(G\) is an octagon quadrangle, i.e., the graph consisting of an \(8\)-cycle \((x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_8)\) with two additional chords: the edges \(\{x_1, x_4\}\) and \(\{x_5, x_6\}\).

Abstract:

The order dimension is an invariant on partially ordered sets introduced by Dushnik and Miller in \(1941 [1]\). It is known that the computation of the order dimension of a partially ordered set in general is highly complex,with current algorithms relying on the minimal coloring of an associated hypergraph, see \([5]\). The aim of this work is to extend the family of posets whose order dimension is easily determined by a formula. We introduce an operation called layering. Finally, we provide the precise formulas for determining the order dimension of any given number of layers of Trotter’s generalized crowns.

Abstract:

The clique graph \(K(G)\) of a graph \(G\) is the intersection graph of all its (maximal) cliques, and \(G\) is said to be clique divergent if the order of its \(n\)-th iterated clique graph \(K^n(G)\) tends to infinity with \(n\). In general, deciding whether a graph is clique divergent is not known to be computable. We characterize the dynamical behavior under the clique operator of circulant graphs of the form \(C_n(a, b, c)\) with \(0 < a < b < c < \frac{n}{3}\). Such a circulant is clique divergent if and only if it is not clique-Helly. Owing to the Dragan-Szwarcfiter Criterion to decide clique-Hellyness, our result implies that the clique divergence of these circulants can be decided in polynomial time. Our main difficulty was the case \(C_n(1, 2, 4)\), which is clique divergent but no previously known technique could be used to prove it.

Abstract:

A total dominating set \(S\) of a graph \(G\) with no isolated vertex is a locating-total dominating set of \(G\) if for every pair of distinct vertices \(u\) and \(v\) in \(V – S\) are totally dominated by distinct subsets of the total dominating set. The minimum cardinality of a locating-total dominating set is the locating-total domination number. In this paper, we obtain new upper bounds for locating-total domination numbers of the Cartesian product of cycles \(C_m\) and \(C_n\), and prove that for any positive integer \(n \geq 3\), the locating-total domination numbers of the Cartesian product of cycles \(C_3\) and \(C_n\) is equal to \(n\) for \(n \equiv 0 \pmod{6}\) or \(n + 1\) otherwise.

Abstract:

A graph \(G\) is called a fractional \((g, f, m)\)-deleted graph if after deleting any \(m\) edges, then the resulting graph admits a fractional \((g, f)\)-factor. In this paper, we prove that if \(G\) is a graph of order \(n\), and if \(1 \leq g(x) \leq f(x) \leq 6\) for any \(x \in V(G)\), \(\delta(G) \geq \frac{b^2(i-1)}{a} ++2m\), \(n > \frac{(a+b)(i(a+b)+2m-2)}{a}\) and \(|N_G(x_1) \cup N_G(x_2) \cup \cdots \cup N_G(x_i)| \geq \frac{bn}{a+b} \), for any independent set \(\{x_1, x_2, \ldots,x_i\}\) of \(V(G)\), where \(i \geq 2\), then \(G\) is a fractional \((g, f, m)\)-deleted graph. The result is tight on the neighborhood union condition.

Abstract:

In this short paper, we introduce the second order linear recurrence relation of the \(AB\)-generalized Fibonacci sequence and give the explicit formulas for the sums of the positively and negatively subscripted terms of the \(AB\)-generalized Fibonacci sequence by matrix methods. This sum generalizes the one obtained earlier by Kilig in \([2]\).
