The Quest for A Characterization of Hom-Properties of Finite Character

Izak Broere, Moroli D.V. Matsoha, Johannes Heidema (2016)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

A graph property is a set of (countable) graphs. A homomorphism from a graph G to a graph H is an edge-preserving map from the vertex set of G into the vertex set of H; if such a map exists, we write G → H. Given any graph H, the hom-property →H is the set of H-colourable graphs, i.e., the set of all graphs G satisfying G → H. A graph property P is of finite character if, whenever we have that F ∈ P for every finite induced subgraph F of a graph G, then we have that G ∈ P too. We explore some of...

The ramsey number for theta graph versus a clique of order three and four

M.S.A. Bataineh, M.M.M. Jaradat, M.S. Bateeha (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

For any two graphs F1 and F2, the graph Ramsey number r(F1, F2) is the smallest positive integer N with the property that every graph on at least N vertices contains F1 or its complement contains F2 as a subgraph. In this paper, we consider the Ramsey numbers for theta-complete graphs. We determine r(θn,Km) for m = 2, 3, 4 and n > m. More specifically, we establish that r(θn,Km) = (n − 1)(m − 1) + 1 for m = 3, 4 and n > m

The Ramsey number r(C₇,C₇,C₇)

Ralph Faudree, Annette Schelten, Ingo Schiermeyer (2003)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Bondy and Erdős [2] have conjectured that the Ramsey number for three cycles Cₖ of odd length has value r(Cₖ,Cₖ,Cₖ) = 4k-3. We give a proof that r(C₇,C₇,C₇) = 25 without using any computer support.

The Randić energy of generalized double sun

Wei Gao (2022)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We show that the family of trees defined as generalized double sun of odd order satisfies the conjecture for the Randić energy proposed by I. Gutman, B. Furtula, S. B. Bozkurt (2014).

The ratio and generating function of cogrowth coefficients of finitely generated groups

Ryszard Szwarc (1998)

Studia Mathematica

Let G be a group generated by r elements g 1 , , g r . Among the reduced words in g 1 , , g r of length n some, say γ n , represent the identity element of the group G. It has been shown in a combinatorial way that the 2nth root of γ 2 n has a limit, called the cogrowth exponent with respect to the generators g 1 , , g r . We show by analytic methods that the numbers γ n vary regularly, i.e. the ratio γ 2 n + 2 / γ 2 n is also convergent. Moreover, we derive new precise information on the domain of holomorphy of γ(z), the generating function associated...

The real symmetric matrices of odd order with a P-set of maximum size

Zhibin Du, Carlos Martins da Fonseca (2016)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Suppose that A is a real symmetric matrix of order n . Denote by m A ( 0 ) the nullity of A . For a nonempty subset α of { 1 , 2 , ... , n } , let A ( α ) be the principal submatrix of A obtained from A by deleting the rows and columns indexed by α . When m A ( α ) ( 0 ) = m A ( 0 ) + | α | , we call α a P-set of A . It is known that every P-set of A contains at most n / 2 elements. The graphs of even order for which one can find a matrix attaining this bound are now completely characterized. However, the odd case turned out to be more difficult to tackle. As a first step...
