Evaluation of divisor functions of matrices

Gautami Bhowmik (1996)

Acta Arithmetica

1. Introduction. The study of divisor functions of matrices arose legitimately in the context of arithmetic of matrices, and the question of the number of (possibly weighted) inequivalent factorizations of an integer matrix was asked. However, till now only partial answers were available. Nanda [6] evaluated the case of prime matrices and Narang [7] gave an evaluation for 2×2 matrices. We obtained a recursion in the size of the matrices and the weights of the divisors [1,2] which helped us obtain...

Even [a,b]-factors in graphs

Mekkia Kouider, Preben Dahl Vestergaard (2004)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let a and b be integers 4 ≤ a ≤ b. We give simple, sufficient conditions for graphs to contain an even [a,b]-factor. The conditions are on the order and on the minimum degree, or on the edge-connectivity of the graph.

Even factor of bridgeless graphs containing two specified edges

Nastaran Haghparast, Dariush Kiani (2018)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

An even factor of a graph is a spanning subgraph in which each vertex has a positive even degree. Let G be a bridgeless simple graph with minimum degree at least 3 . Jackson and Yoshimoto (2007) showed that G has an even factor containing two arbitrary prescribed edges. They also proved that G has an even factor in which each component has order at least four. Moreover, Xiong, Lu and Han (2009) showed that for each pair of edges e 1 and e 2 of G , there is an even factor containing e 1 and e 2 in which each...

Exact 2 -step domination in graphs

Gary Chartrand, Frank Harary, Moazzem Hossain, Kelly Schultz (1995)

Mathematica Bohemica

For a vertex v in a graph G , the set N 2 ( v ) consists of those vertices of G whose distance from v is 2. If a graph G contains a set S of vertices such that the sets N 2 ( v ) , v S , form a partition of V ( G ) , then G is called a 2 -step domination graph. We describe 2 -step domination graphs possessing some prescribed property. In addition, all 2 -step domination paths and cycles are determined.

Exact double domination in graphs

Mustapha Chellali, Abdelkader Khelladi, Frédéric Maffray (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

In a graph a vertex is said to dominate itself and all its neighbours. A doubly dominating set of a graph G is a subset of vertices that dominates every vertex of G at least twice. A doubly dominating set is exact if every vertex of G is dominated exactly twice. We prove that the existence of an exact doubly dominating set is an NP-complete problem. We show that if an exact double dominating set exists then all such sets have the same size, and we establish bounds on this size. We give a constructive...

Exact Expectation and Variance of Minimal Basis of Random Matroids

Wojciech Kordecki, Anna Lyczkowska-Hanćkowiak (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We formulate and prove a formula to compute the expected value of the minimal random basis of an arbitrary finite matroid whose elements are assigned weights which are independent and uniformly distributed on the interval [0, 1]. This method yields an exact formula in terms of the Tutte polynomial. We give a simple formula to find the minimal random basis of the projective geometry PG(r − 1, q).
