On special partitions of Dedekind- and Russell-sets

Horst Herrlich, Paul Howard, Eleftherios Tachtsis (2012)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

A Russell set is a set which can be written as the union of a countable pairwise disjoint set of pairs no infinite subset of which has a choice function and a Russell cardinal is the cardinal number of a Russell set. We show that if a Russell cardinal a has a ternary partition (see Section 1, Definition 2) then the Russell cardinal a + 2 fails to have such a partition. In fact, we prove that if a ZF-model contains a Russell set, then it contains Russell sets with ternary partitions as well as Russell...

On Spectra Of Variants Of The Corona Of Two Graphs And Some New Equienergetic Graphs

Chandrashekar Adiga, B.R. Rakshith (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Let G and H be two graphs. The join G ∨ H is the graph obtained by joining every vertex of G with every vertex of H. The corona G ○ H is the graph obtained by taking one copy of G and |V (G)| copies of H and joining the i-th vertex of G to every vertex in the i-th copy of H. The neighborhood corona G★H is the graph obtained by taking one copy of G and |V (G)| copies of H and joining the neighbors of the i-th vertex of G to every vertex in the i-th copy of H. The edge corona G ◇ H is the graph obtained...

On splitting infinite-fold covers

Márton Elekes, Tamás Mátrai, Lajos Soukup (2011)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Let X be a set, κ be a cardinal number and let ℋ be a family of subsets of X which covers each x ∈ X at least κ-fold. What assumptions can ensure that ℋ can be decomposed into κ many disjoint subcovers? We examine this problem under various assumptions on the set X and on the cover ℋ: among other situations, we consider covers of topological spaces by closed sets, interval covers of linearly ordered sets and covers of ℝⁿ by polyhedra and by arbitrary convex sets. We focus on...

On stratification and domination in graphs

Ralucca Gera, Ping Zhang (2006)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A graph G is 2-stratified if its vertex set is partitioned into two classes (each of which is a stratum or a color class), where the vertices in one class are colored red and those in the other class are colored blue. Let F be a 2-stratified graph rooted at some blue vertex v. An F-coloring of a graph is a red-blue coloring of the vertices of G in which every blue vertex v belongs to a copy of F rooted at v. The F-domination number γ F ( G ) is the minimum number of red vertices in an F-coloring of G. In...

On strong digraphs with a prescribed ultracenter

Gary Chartrand, Heather Gavlas, Kelly Schultz, Steven J. Winters (1997)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The (directed) distance from a vertex u to a vertex v in a strong digraph D is the length of a shortest u - v (directed) path in D . The eccentricity of a vertex v of D is the distance from v to a vertex furthest from v in D . The radius rad D is the minimum eccentricity among the vertices of D and the diameter diam D is the maximum eccentricity. A central vertex is a vertex with eccentricity r a d D and the subdigraph induced by the central vertices is the center C ( D ) . For a central vertex v in a strong digraph...

On strongly regular graphs with m2 = qm3 and m3 = qm2

Lepovic, Mirko (2011)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 05C50.We say that a regular graph G of order n and degree r і 1 (which is not the complete graph) is strongly regular if there exist non-negative integers t and q such that |SiЗSj| = t for any two adjacent vertices i and j, and |SiЗSj| = q for any two distinct non-adjacent vertices i and j, where Sk denotes the neighborhood of the vertex k. Let l1 = r, l2 and l3 be the distinct eigenvalues of a connected strongly regular graph. Let m1 = 1, m2 and m3 denote...

On strongly sum-free subsets of abelian groups

Tomasz Łuczak, Tomasz Schoen (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

In his book on unsolved problems in number theory [1] R. K. Guy asks whether for every natural l there exists n 0 = n 0 ( l ) with the following property: for every n n 0 and any n elements a 1 , . . . , a n of a group such that the product of any two of them is different from the unit element of the group, there exist l of the a i such that a i j a i k a m for 1 j < k l and 1 m n . In this note we answer this question in the affirmative in the first non-trivial case when l=3 and the group is abelian, proving the following result.
