A subset S⊆V in a graph G=(V,E) is a [j,k]-set if, for every vertex v∈V?S, j≤|N(v)∩S|≤k for non-negative integers j and k, that is, every vertex v∈V?S is adjacent to at least j but not more than k vertices in S. In this paper, we focus on small j and k, and relate the concept of [j,k]-sets to a host of other concepts in domination theory, including perfect domination, efficient domination, nearly perfect sets, 2-packings, and k-dependent sets. We also determine bounds on the cardinality of minimum [1, 2]-sets, and investigate extremal graphs achieving these bounds. This study has implications for restrained domination as well. Using a result for [1, 3]-sets, we show that, for any grid graph G, the restrained domination number is equal to the domination number of G. 相似文献

In this note we study distance-regular graphs with a small number of vertices compared to the valency. We show that for a given α>2, there are finitely many distance-regular graphs Γ with valency k, diameter D≥3 and v vertices satisfying v≤αk unless (D=3 and Γ is imprimitive) or (D=4 and Γ is antipodal and bipartite). We also show, as a consequence of this result, that there are finitely many distance-regular graphs with valency k≥3, diameter D≥3 and c2≥εk for a given 0<ε<1 unless (D=3 and Γ is imprimitive) or (D=4 and Γ is antipodal and bipartite). 相似文献

Let T be a tree with s ends and f,g be continuous maps from T to T with f°g=g°f. In this note we show that if there exists a positive integer m≥2 such that gcd(m,l)=1 for any 2≤l≤s and f,g share a periodic point which is a km-periodic point of f for some positive integer k, then the topological entropy of f°g is positive. 相似文献

A hidden Markov model (HMM) is said to have path-mergeable states if for any two states i,j there exist a word w and state k such that it is possible to transition from both i and j to k while emitting w. We show that for a finite HMM with path-mergeable states the block estimates of the entropy rate converge exponentially fast. We also show that the path-mergeability property is asymptotically typical in the space of HMM topologies and easily testable. 相似文献

This paper investigates two problems related to the determination of critical edges for the minimum cost assignment problem. Given a complete bipartite balanced graph with n vertices on each part and with costs on its edges, kMost Vital Edges Assignment consists of determining a set of k edges whose removal results in the largest increase in the cost of a minimum cost assignment. A dual problem, Min Edge Blocker Assignment, consists of removing a subset of edges of minimum cardinality such that the cost of a minimum cost assignment in the remaining graph is larger than or equal to a specified threshold. We show that kMost Vital Edges Assignment is NP-hard to approximate within a factor c<2 and Min Edge Blocker Assignment is NP-hard to approximate within a factor 1.36. We also provide an exact algorithm for kMost Vital Edges Assignment that runs in O(nk+2). This algorithm can also be used to solve exactly Min Edge Blocker Assignment. 相似文献

Let R be a commutative ring with identity. We will say that an R-module M satisfies the weak Nakayama property, if IM=M, where I is an ideal of R, implies that for any x∈M there exists a∈I such that (a−1)x=0. In this paper, we will study modules satisfying the weak Nakayama property. It is proved that if R is a local ring, then R is a Max ring if and only if J(R), the Jacobson radical of R, is T-nilpotent if and only if every R-module satisfies the weak Nakayama property. 相似文献

Let G=(V,E) be a graph. A subset D⊆V is a dominating set if every vertex not in D is adjacent to a vertex in D. A dominating set D is called a total dominating set if every vertex in D is adjacent to a vertex in D. The domination (resp. total domination) number of G is the smallest cardinality of a dominating (resp. total dominating) set of G. The bondage (resp. total bondage) number of a nonempty graph G is the smallest number of edges whose removal from G results in a graph with larger domination (resp. total domination) number of G. The reinforcement (resp. total reinforcement) number of G is the smallest number of edges whose addition to G results in a graph with smaller domination (resp. total domination) number. This paper shows that the decision problems for the bondage, total bondage, reinforcement and total reinforcement numbers are all NP-hard. 相似文献

A d-arc-dominated digraph is a digraph D of minimum out-degree d such that for every arc (x,y) of D, there exists a vertex u of D of out-degree d such that (u,x) and (u,y) are arcs of D. Henning and Yeo [Vertex disjoint cycles of different length in digraphs, SIAM J. Discrete Math. 26 (2012) 687–694] conjectured that a digraph with minimum out-degree at least four contains two vertex-disjoint cycles of different length. In this paper, we verify this conjecture for 4-arc-dominated digraphs. 相似文献

Consider a face-to-face parallelohedral tiling of Rd and a (d−k)-dimensional face F of the tiling. We prove that the valence of F (i.e. the number of tiles containing F as a face) is not greater than 2k. If the tiling is affinely equivalent to a Voronoi tiling for some lattice (the so called Voronoi case), this gives a well-known upper bound for the number of vertices of a Delaunay k-cell. Yet we emphasize that such an affine equivalence is not assumed in the proof. 相似文献

In many applications it has been observed that hybrid-Monte Carlo sequences perform better than Monte Carlo and quasi-Monte Carlo sequences, especially in difficult problems. For a mixed s-dimensional sequence m, whose elements are vectors obtained by concatenating d-dimensional vectors from a low-discrepancy sequence q with (s−d)-dimensional random vectors, probabilistic upper bounds for its star discrepancy have been provided. In a paper of G. Ökten, B. Tuffin and V. Burago [G. Ökten, B. Tuffin, V. Burago, J. Complexity 22 (2006), 435–458] it was shown that for arbitrary ε>0 the difference of the star discrepancies of the first N points of m and q is bounded by ε with probability at least 1−2exp(−ε2N/2) for N sufficiently large. The authors did not study how large N actually has to be and if and how this actually depends on the parameters s and ε. In this note we derive a lower bound for N, which significantly depends on s and ε. Furthermore, we provide a probabilistic bound for the difference of the star discrepancies of the first N points of m and q, which holds without any restrictions on N. In this sense it improves on the bound of Ökten, Tuffin and Burago and is more helpful in practice, especially for small sample sizes N. We compare this bound to other known bounds. 相似文献

We consider a multidimensional diffusion X with drift coefficient b(α,Xt) and diffusion coefficient ?σ(β,Xt). The diffusion sample path is discretely observed at times tk=kΔ for k=1…n on a fixed interval [0,T]. We study minimum contrast estimators derived from the Gaussian process approximating X for small ?. We obtain consistent and asymptotically normal estimators of α for fixed Δ and ?→0 and of (α,β) for Δ→0 and ?→0 without any condition linking ? and Δ. We compare the estimators obtained with various methods and for various magnitudes of Δ and ? based on simulation studies. Finally, we investigate the interest of using such methods in an epidemiological framework. 相似文献

Let k be any field, G be a finite group acting on the rational function field k(xg:g∈G) by h⋅xg=xhg for any h,g∈G. Define k(G)=k(xg:g∈G)G. Noether’s problem asks whether k(G) is rational (= purely transcendental) over k. A weaker notion, retract rationality introduced by Saltman, is also very useful for the study of Noether’s problem. We prove that, if G is a Frobenius group with abelian Frobenius kernel, then k(G) is retract k-rational for any field k satisfying some mild conditions. As an application, we show that, for any algebraic number field k, for any Frobenius group G with Frobenius complement isomorphic to SL2(F5), there is a Galois extension field K over k whose Galois group is isomorphic to G, i.e. the inverse Galois problem is valid for the pair (G,k). The same result is true for any non-solvable Frobenius group if k(ζ8) is a cyclic extension of k. 相似文献

We prove that if for a continuous map f on a compact metric space X, the chain recurrent set, R(f) has more than one chain component, then f does not satisfy the asymptotic average shadowing property. We also show that if a continuous map f on a compact metric space X has the asymptotic average shadowing property and if A is an attractor for f, then A is the single attractor for f and we have A=R(f). We also study diffeomorphisms with asymptotic average shadowing property and prove that if M is a compact manifold which is not finite with dimM=2, then the C1 interior of the set of all C1 diffeomorphisms with the asymptotic average shadowing property is characterized by the set of Ω-stable diffeomorphisms. 相似文献
