Computing Simple Circuits from a Set of Line Segments.
Let G be a connected graph. Given an ordered set W = {w1, . . . , wk} ⊆ V (G) and a vertex u ∈ V (G), the representation of u with respect to W is the ordered k-tuple (d(u, w1), d(u, w2), . . . , d(u, wk)), where d(u, wi) denotes the distance between u and wi. The set W is a metric generator for G if every two different vertices of G have distinct representations. A minimum cardinality metric generator is called a metric basis of G and its cardinality is called the metric dimension of G. It is well...
A β-perfect graph is a simple graph G such that χ(G') = β(G') for every induced subgraph G' of G, where χ(G') is the chromatic number of G', and β(G') is defined as the maximum over all induced subgraphs H of G' of the minimum vertex degree in H plus 1 (i.e., δ(H)+1). The vertices of a β-perfect graph G can be coloured with χ(G) colours in polynomial time (greedily). The main purpose of this paper is to give necessary and sufficient conditions, in terms of forbidden induced subgraphs,...
Les -plans (définis ci-dessous) ont été introduits dans [1]. Leur étude englobe celle des plans affines et projectifs finis, des familles de carrés latins deux à deux orthogonaux, de certains plans équilibrés et partiellement équilibrés . La question de leur existence est très mal connue, celle de leur unicité n’a pratiquement pas été abordée. Nous nous proposons de montrer le théorème suivant : pour qu’il existe un -plan il est nécessaire que : soient entiers.
We show that if is an extremal even unimodular lattice of rank with , then is generated by its vectors of norms and . Our result is an extension of Ozeki’s result for the case .
