On a generalization of duality triads

Matthias Schork (2006)

Open Mathematics

Some aspects of duality triads introduced recently are discussed. In particular, the general solution for the triad polynomials is given. Furthermore, a generalization of the notion of duality triad is proposed and some simple properties of these generalized duality triads are derived.

On a generalization of perfect b -matching

Ľubica Šándorová, Marián Trenkler (1991)

Mathematica Bohemica

The paper is concerned with the existence of non-negative or positive solutions to A f = β , where A is the vertex-edge incidence matrix of an undirected graph. The paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of such a solution.

On a generalization of the friendship theorem

Mohammad Hailat (2012)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

The Friendship Theorem states that if any two people, of a group of at least three people, have exactly one friend in common, then there is always a person who is everybody's friend. In this paper, we generalize the Friendship Theorem to the case that in a group of at least three people, if every two friends have one or two common friends and every pair of strangers have exactly one friend then there exist one person who is friend to everybody in the group. In particular, we show that the graph...

On a matching distance between rooted phylogenetic trees

Damian Bogdanowicz, Krzysztof Giaro (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The Robinson-Foulds (RF) distance is the most popular method of evaluating the dissimilarity between phylogenetic trees. In this paper, we define and explore in detail properties of the Matching Cluster (MC) distance, which can be regarded as a refinement of the RF metric for rooted trees. Similarly to RF, MC operates on clusters of compared trees, but the distance evaluation is more complex. Using the graph theoretic approach based on a minimum-weight perfect matching in bipartite graphs, the values...

On a New Approach to Williamson's Generalization of Pólya's Enumeration Theorem

Iliev, Valentin (2000)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Pólya’s fundamental enumeration theorem and some results from Williamson’s generalized setup of it are proved in terms of Schur- Macdonald’s theory (S-MT) of “invariant matrices”. Given a permutation group W ≤ Sd and a one-dimensional character χ of W , the polynomial functor Fχ corresponding via S-MT to the induced monomial representation Uχ = ind|Sdv/W (χ) of Sd , is studied. It turns out that the characteristic ch(Fχ ) is the weighted inventory of some set J(χ) of W -orbits in the integer-valued hypercube...
