Affine permutations of type .
Let be an infinite locally finite tree. We say that has exactly one end, if in any two one-way infinite paths have a common rest (infinite subpath). The paper describes the structure of such trees and tries to formalize it by algebraic means, namely by means of acyclic monounary algebras or tree semilattices. In these algebraic structures the homomorpisms and direct products are considered and investigated with the aim of showing, whether they give algebras with the required properties. At...
We give some algebraic conditions for -tough graphs in terms of the Laplacian eigenvalues and adjacency eigenvalues of graphs.
Let be a -connected graph with . A hinge is a subset of vertices whose deletion from yields a disconnected graph. We consider the algebraic connectivity and Fiedler vectors of such graphs, paying special attention to the signs of the entries in Fiedler vectors corresponding to vertices in a hinge, and to vertices in the connected components at a hinge. The results extend those in Fiedler’s papers Algebraic connectivity of graphs (1973), A property of eigenvectors of nonnegative symmetric...
