Improved bounds for the number of forests and acyclic orientations in the square lattice.
For any positive integer k, let Ak denote the set of finite abelian groups G such that for any subgroup H of G all Cayley sum graphs CayS(H, S) are integral if |S| = k. A finite abelian group G is called Cayley sum integral if for any subgroup H of G all Cayley sum graphs on H are integral. In this paper, the classes A2 and A3 are classified. As an application, we determine all finite Cayley sum integral groups.
We investigate an inverse eigenvalue problem for constructing a special kind of acyclic matrices. The problem involves the reconstruction of the matrices whose graph is an -centipede. This is done by using the st and th eigenpairs of their leading principal submatrices. To solve this problem, the recurrence relations between leading principal submatrices are used.
