广义de Bruijn和Kautz有向图的双向控制集

设G=(V,A)是一个有向图,其中V和A分别表示有向图G的点集和弧集.对集合TV(G),如果对于任意点v∈V(G)\T,都存在点u,w∈T(u,w可能是同一点)使得(u,v),(v,w)∈A(G),则称T是G的一个双向控制集.有向图G的双向控制数γ~*(G)是G的最小双向控制集所含点的数目.提出了广义de Bruijn和Kautz有向图的双向控制数的新上界,改进了以前文献中提出的相关结论.此外,对某些特殊的广义de Bruijn和Kautz有向图,通过构造其双向控制集,进一步改进了它们双向控制数的上、下界.     

Independent spanning trees with small depths in iterated line digraphs

We show that the independent spanning tree conjecture on digraphs is true if we restrict ourselves to line digraphs. Also, we construct independent spanning trees with small depths in iterated line digraphs. From the results, we can obtain independent spanning trees with small depths in de Bruijn and Kautz digraphs that improve the previously known upper bounds on the depths.     

广义de Bruijn和Kautz有向图的距离控制数

对于任意的正整数(?),强连通图G的顶点子集D被称为距离(?)-控制集,是指对于任意顶点v(?)D,D中至少含有一个顶点u,使得距离dG(u,v)≤(?)．图G距离(?)- 控制数γe(G)是指G中所有距离(?)-控制集的基数的最小者．本文给出了广义de Bruijn 和广义Kautz有向图的距离(?)-控制数的上界和下界,并且给出当它们的距离2-控制数达到下界时的一个充分条件．从而得到对于de Bruijn有向图B(d,k)的距离2-控制数γ2(B(d,k))= ．在该文结尾,我们猜想Kautz有向图K(d,k)的距离2-控制数γ2(K(d,k))= .

Reinforcement numbers of digraphs

The reinforcement number of a graph G is the minimum cardinality of a set of extra edges whose addition results in a graph with domination number less than the domination number of G. In this paper we consider this parameter for digraphs, investigate the relationship between reinforcement numbers of undirected graphs and digraphs, and obtain further results for regular graphs. We also determine the exact values of the reinforcement numbers of de Bruijn digraphs and Kautz digraphs.     

广义de Bruijn有向图的k-元控制集

$G=(V, A)$ 表示一个有向图, 其中 $V$ 和 $A$ 分别表示有向图 $G$ 的点集和弧集。 对集合 $D_{k}\subseteq V(G)$, 如果对于任意点 $v\in V(G)$, 都存在 $k$ 个点 $u_{i}$, $1\leq i\leq k$ (可能存在某个 $u_{i}$ 和 $v$ 是同一点) 使得 $(u_{i},v)\in A(G)$, 则称 $D_{k}$ 是 $G$ 的一个 $k$-元控制集。 有向图 $G$ 的 $k$-元控制数 $\gamma_{\times k}(G)$ 是 $G$ 的最小 $k$-元控制集所含点的数目。 给出了广义 de Bruijn 有向图的 $k$-元控制数的新上界, 并且具体给出了构造广义 de Bruijn 有向图的 $k$-元控制集的方法。 此外, 对某些特殊的广义 de Bruijn 有向图, 通过构造其 $k$-元控制集, 进一步改进了它们 $k$-元控制数的上界。     

On even factorizations and the chromatic index of the Kautz and de Bruijn digraphs

Motivated by the problem of designing large packet radio networks, we show that the Kautz and de Bruijn digraphs with in- and outdegree d have arc-chromatic index 2d. In order to do this, we introduce the concept of even 1-factorizations. An even 1-factor of a digraph is a spanning subgraph consisting of vertex disjoint loops and even cycles; an even 1-factorization is a partition of the arcs into even 1-factors. We prove that if a digraph admits an even 1-factorization, then so does its line digraph. (In fact, we show that the line digraph admits an even 1-factorization even under a weaker assumption discussed below.) As a consequence, we derive the above property of the Kautz and de Bruijn digraphs relevant to packet radio networks. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Stretching de Bruijn sequences

We give a one-step construction of de Bruijn sequences of general alphabet size and with order \(n+k\), given a de Bruijn sequence of order n and any integer \(k>1\). This is achieved by using an appropriate class of graph homomorphisms between de Bruijn digraphs whose orders differ by an integer k. The method starts with a lower order de Bruijn cycle, finds its inverse cycles in the higher order digraph, which are then cross-joined into one full cycle. Therefore, this generalizes the Lempel’s binary construction and the Alhakim–Akinwande construction for non-binary alphabets and a wide class of homomorphisms.     

A recursive construction of nonbinary de Bruijn sequences

This paper presents a method to find new de Bruijn sequences based on ones of lesser order. This is done by mapping a de Bruijn cycle to several vertex disjoint cycles in a de Bruijn digraph of higher order and then connecting these cycles into one full cycle. We present precise formulae for the locations where those cycles can be rejoined into one full cycle. We obtain an exponentially large class of distinct de Bruijn cycles. This method generalizes the Lempel construction of binary de Bruijn sequences as well as its efficient implementation by Annextein.     

Automorphisms of endomorphism semigroups of reflexive digraphs

A reflexive digraph is a pair (X, ρ), where X is an arbitrary set and ρ is a reflexive binary relation on X. Let End (X, ρ) be the semigroup of endomorphisms of (X, ρ). We determine the group of automorphisms of End (X, ρ) for: digraphs containing an edge not contained in a cycle, digraphs consisting of arbitrary unions of cycles such that cycles of length ≥2 are pairwise disjoint, and some circulant digraphs (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

HAMILTONIAN CYCLES AND DECOMPOSITIONS OFCAYLEY DIGRAPHS OF FINITE ABELIAN GROUPS

In this paper, Hamiltonian cycles and decompositions of Cayley digraphs are investigat-ed. Sufficient conditions are given for these two problems respectively. Furthermore, the conditions are also necesaary for 2-regular Cayley disraphs, In addition, some known results about theCartesian products of two directed cycles are also deduced.     

On the weak distance-regularity of Moore-type digraphs

We prove that Moore digraphs, and some other classes of extremal digraphs, are weakly distance-regular in the sense that there is an invariance of the number of walks between vertices at a given distance. As weakly distance-regular digraphs, we then compute their complete spectrum from a ‘small’ intersection matrix. This is a very useful tool for deriving some results about their existence and/or their structural properties. For instance, we present here an alternative and unified proof of the existence results on Moore digraphs, Moore bipartite digraphs and, more generally, Moore generalized p-cycles. In addition, we show that the line digraph structure appears as a characteristic property of any Moore generalized p-cycle of diameter D?≥?2p.     

On the structure of strong 3-quasi-transitive digraphs

In this paper, D=(V(D),A(D)) denotes a loopless directed graph (digraph) with at most one arc from u to v for every pair of vertices u and v of V(D). Given a digraph D, we say that D is 3-quasi-transitive if, whenever u→v→w→z in D, then u and z are adjacent or u=z. In Bang-Jensen (2004) [3], Bang-Jensen introduced 3-quasi-transitive digraphs and claimed that the only strong 3-quasi-transitive digraphs are the strong semicomplete digraphs and strong semicomplete bipartite digraphs. In this paper, we exhibit a family of strong 3-quasi-transitive digraphs distinct from strong semicomplete digraphs and strong semicomplete bipartite digraphs and provide a complete characterization of strong 3-quasi-transitive digraphs.     

Classification theorems for operators preserving zeros in a strip

We characterize all linear operators which preserve certain spaces of entire functions whose zeros lie in a closed strip. Necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the related problem with real entire functions, and some classical theorems of de Bruijn and Pólya are extended. Specifically, we reveal new differential operators which map real entire functions whose zeros lie in a strip to real entire functions whose zeros lie in a narrower strip; this is one of the properties that characterize a “strong universal factor” as defined by de Bruijn. Using elementary methods, we prove a theorem of de Bruijn and extend a theorem of de Bruijn and Ilieff which states a sufficient condition for a function to have a Fourier transform with only real zeros.     

Acyclic systems of representatives and acyclic colorings of digraphs

A natural digraph analog of the graph theoretic concept of “an independent set” is that of “an acyclic set of vertices,” namely a set not spanning a directed cycle. By this token, an analog of the notion of coloring of a graph is that of decomposition of a digraph into acyclic sets. We extend some known results on independent sets and colorings in graphs to acyclic sets and acyclic colorings of digraphs. In particular, we prove bounds on the topological connectivity of the complex of acyclic sets, and using them we prove sufficient conditions for the existence of acyclic systems of representatives of a system of sets of vertices. These bounds generalize a result of Tardos and Szabó. We prove a fractional version of a strong‐acyclic‐coloring conjecture for digraphs. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Kings in locally semicomplete digraphs

A k‐king in a digraph D is a vertex which can reach every other vertex by a directed path of length at most k. We consider k‐kings in locally semicomplete digraphs and mainly prove that all strong locally semicomplete digraphs which are not round decomposable contain a 2‐king. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Locally-finite connected-homogeneous digraphs

A digraph is connected-homogeneous if any isomorphism between finite connected induced subdigraphs extends to an automorphism of the digraph. We consider locally-finite connected-homogeneous digraphs with more than one end. In the case that the digraph embeds a triangle we give a complete classification, obtaining a family of tree-like graphs constructed by gluing together directed triangles. In the triangle-free case we show that these digraphs are highly arc-transitive. We give a classification in the two-ended case, showing that all examples arise from a simple construction given by gluing along a directed line copies of some fixed finite directed complete bipartite graph. When the digraph has infinitely many ends we show that the descendants of a vertex form a tree, and the reachability graph (which is one of the basic building blocks of the digraph) is one of: an even cycle, a complete bipartite graph, the complement of a perfect matching, or an infinite semiregular tree. We give examples showing that each of these possibilities is realised as the reachability graph of some connected-homogeneous digraph, and in the process we obtain a new family of highly arc-transitive digraphs without property Z.     

Generalizations of tournaments: A survey

We survey results concerning various generalizations of tournaments. The reader will see that tournaments are by no means the only class of directed graphs with a very rich structure. We describe, among numerous other topics mostly related to paths and cycles, results on hamiltonian paths and cycles. The reader will see that although these problems are polynomially solvable for all of the classes described, they can be highly nontrivial, even for these “tournament-like” digraphs. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A note on total colourings of digraphs

In the paper two different arc-colourings and two associated with the total colourings of digraphs are considered. In one of these colourings we show that the problem of calculating the total chromatic index reduces to that of calculating the chromatic number of the underlying graph. In the other colouring we find the total chromatic indices of complete symmetric digraphs and tournaments.     

Construction for de Bruijn sequences with large stage

Sequences generated by maximum-period nonlinear feedback shift registers are known as de Bruijn sequences. The problem of generating de Bruijn sequences has received considerable attention. In this paper, we provide a method for generating large state (such as \(n=128\)) de Bruijn sequences.
