Broken Circuits in Matroids-Dohmen’s Inductive Proof

Wojciech Kordecki, Anna Łyczkowska-Hanćkowiak (2013)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

Dohmen [4] gives a simple inductive proof of Whitney’s famous broken circuits theorem. We generalise his inductive proof to the case of matroids

Cancellation of direct products of digraphs

Richard H. Hammack, Katherine E. Toman (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae Graph Theory

We investigate expressions of form A×C ≅ B×C involving direct products of digraphs. Lovász gave exact conditions on C for which it necessarily follows that A ≅ B. We are here concerned with a different aspect of cancellation. We describe exact conditions on A for which it necessarily follows that A ≅ B. In the process, we do the following: Given an arbitrary digraph A and a digraph C that admits a homomorphism onto an arc, we classify all digraphs B for which A×C ≅ B×C.

Canonical characters on simple graphs

Tanja Stojadinović (2013)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

A multiplicative functional on a graded connected Hopf algebra is called the character. Every character decomposes uniquely as a product of an even character and an odd character. We apply the character theory of combinatorial Hopf algebras to the Hopf algebra of simple graphs. We derive explicit formulas for the canonical characters on simple graphs in terms of coefficients of the chromatic symmetric function of a graph and of canonical characters on quasi-symmetric functions. These formulas and...
