We study approximate decompositions of edge‐colored quasirandom graphs into rainbow spanning structures: an edge‐coloring of a graph is locally ‐bounded if every vertex is incident to at most edges of each color, and is (globally) ‐bounded if every color appears at most times. Our results imply the existence of: (1) approximate decompositions of properly edge‐colored into rainbow almost‐spanning cycles; (2) approximate decompositions of edge‐colored into rainbow Hamilton cycles, provided that the coloring is ‐bounded and locally ‐bounded; and (3) an approximate decomposition into full transversals of any array, provided each symbol appears times in total and only times in each row or column. Apart from the logarithmic factors, these bounds are essentially best possible. We also prove analogues for rainbow ‐factors, where is any fixed graph. Both (1) and (2) imply approximate versions of the Brualdi‐Hollingsworth conjecture on decompositions into rainbow spanning trees. 相似文献

In this article we first give an upper bound for the chromatic number of a graph in terms of its degrees. This bound generalizes and modifies the bound given in 11 . Next, we obtain an upper bound of the order of magnitude for the coloring number of a graph with small K2,t (as subgraph), where n is the order of the graph. Finally, we give some bounds for chromatic number in terms of girth and book size. These bounds improve the best known bound, in terms of order and girth, for the chromatic number of a graph when its girth is an even integer. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

To enrich the message space of a cipher and guarantee security, Ristenpart and Rogaway defined mix functions on two sets of
equal size. To mix inputs from two sets of different sizes, Stinson generalized the definition of mix functions (called generalized
mix functions), and established an existence result for generalized mix functions with 10 undetermined pairs of input sizes.
In this paper, we complete the solution to the existence problem for generalized mix functions.

Given a graph G of order n containing no C4, color an edge e of the complement of G red if G+e contains a C4, and blue otherwise. Among other results, we answer a question of Erdős, de la Vina, and Fajtlowicz by showing that neither the red nor the blue graph obtained need contain a large complete subgraph. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A k×n Latin rectangle on the symbols {1,2,…,n} is called reduced if the first row is (1,2,…,n) and the first column is T(1,2,…,k). Let Rk,n be the number of reduced k×n Latin rectangles and m=⌊n/2⌋. We prove several results giving divisors of Rk,n. For example, (k−1)! divides Rk,n when k?m and m! divides Rk,n when m<k?n. We establish a recurrence which determines the congruence class of for a range of different t. We use this to show that Rk,n≡((−1)k−1(k−1)!)n−1. In particular, this means that if n is prime, then Rk,n≡1 for 1?k?n and if n is composite then if and only if k is larger than the greatest prime divisor of n. 相似文献

Two Latin squares and , of even order n with entries , are said to be nearly orthogonal if the superimposition of L on M yields an array in which each ordered pair , and , occurs at least once and the ordered pair occurs exactly twice. In this paper, we present direct constructions for the existence of general families of three cyclic mutually orthogonal Latin squares of orders , , and . The techniques employed are based on the principle of Methods of Differences and so we also establish infinite classes of “quasi‐difference” sets for these orders. 相似文献

A classical question in combinatorics is the following: given a partial Latin square P, when can we complete P to a Latin square L? In this paper, we investigate the class of ε‐dense partial Latin squares: partial Latin squares in which each symbol, row, and column contains no more than ‐many nonblank cells. Based on a conjecture of Nash‐Williams, Daykin and Häggkvist conjectured that all ‐dense partial Latin squares are completable. In this paper, we will discuss the proof methods and results used in previous attempts to resolve this conjecture, introduce a novel technique derived from a paper by Jacobson and Matthews on generating random Latin squares, and use this technique to study ε‐dense partial Latin squares that contain no more than filled cells in total. In this paper, we construct completions for all ε‐dense partial Latin squares containing no more than filled cells in total, given that . In particular, we show that all ‐dense partial Latin squares are completable. These results improve prior work by Gustavsson, which required , as well as Chetwynd and Häggkvist, which required , n even and greater than 107. 相似文献

We consider an extremal problem motivated by a article of Balogh [J. Balogh, A remark on the number of edge colorings of graphs, European Journal of Combinatorics 27, 2006, 565–573], who considered edge‐colorings of graphs avoiding fixed subgraphs with a prescribed coloring. More precisely, given , we look for n‐vertex graphs that admit the maximum number of r‐edge‐colorings such that at most colors appear in edges incident with each vertex, that is, r‐edge‐colorings avoiding rainbow‐colored stars with t edges. For large n, we show that, with the exception of the case , the complete graph is always the unique extremal graph. We also consider generalizations of this problem. 相似文献

In 1779 Euler proved that for every even n there exists a latin square of order n that has no orthogonal mate, and in 1944 Mann proved that for every n of the form 4k + 1, k ≥ 1, there exists a latin square of order n that has no orthogonal mate. Except for the two smallest cases, n = 3 and n = 7, it is not known whether a latin square of order n = 4k + 3 with no orthogonal mate exists or not. We complete the determination of all n for which there exists a mate-less latin square of order n by proving that, with the exception of n = 3, for all n = 4k + 3 there exists a latin square of order n with no orthogonal mate. We will also show how the methods used in this paper can be applied more generally by deriving several
earlier non-orthogonality results. 相似文献

A Latin square is pan‐Hamiltonian if the permutation which defines row i relative to row j consists of a single cycle for every i ≠ j. A Latin square is atomic if all of its conjugates are pan‐Hamiltonian. We give a complete enumeration of atomic squares for order 11, the smallest order for which there are examples distinct from the cyclic group. We find that there are seven main classes, including the three that were previously known. A perfect 1‐factorization of a graph is a decomposition of that graph into matchings such that the union of any two matchings is a Hamiltonian cycle. Each pan‐Hamiltonian Latin square of order n describes a perfect 1‐factorization of Kn,n, and vice versa. Perfect 1‐factorizations of Kn,n can be constructed from a perfect 1‐factorization of Kn+1. Six of the seven main classes of atomic squares of order 11 can be obtained in this way. For each atomic square of order 11, we find the largest set of Mutually Orthogonal Latin Squares (MOLS) involving that square. We discuss algorithms for counting orthogonal mates, and discover the number of orthogonal mates possessed by the cyclic squares of orders up to 11 and by Parker's famous turn‐square. We find that the number of atomic orthogonal mates possessed by a Latin square is not a main class invariant. We also define a new sort of Latin square, called a pairing square, which is mapped to its transpose by an involution acting on the symbols. We show that pairing squares are often orthogonal mates for symmetric Latin squares. Finally, we discover connections between our atomic squares and Franklin's diagonally cyclic self‐orthogonal squares, and we correct a theorem of Longyear which uses tactical representations to identify self‐orthogonal Latin squares in the same main class as a given Latin square. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Latin trades are closely related to the problem of critical sets in Latin squares. We denote the cardinality of the smallest critical set in any Latin square of order n by scs(n). A consideration of Latin trades which consist of just two columns, two rows, or two elements establishes that scs(n)?n-1. We conjecture that a consideration of Latin trades on four rows may establish that scs(n)?2n-4. We look at various attempts to prove a conjecture of Cavenagh about such trades. The conjecture is proven computationally for values of n less than or equal to 9. In particular, we look at Latin squares based on the group table of Zn for small n and trades in three consecutive rows of such Latin squares. 相似文献

In this article, we show how to construct pairs of orthogonal pandiagonal Latin squares and panmagic squares from certain types of modular n‐queens solutions. We prove that when these modular n‐queens solutions are symmetric, the panmagic squares thus constructed will be associative, where for an n × n associative magic square A = (aij), for all i and j it holds that aij + an?i?1,n?j?1 = c for a fixed c. We further show how to construct orthogonal Latin squares whose modular difference diagonals are Latin from any modular n‐queens solution. As well, we analyze constructing orthogonal pandiagonal Latin squares from particular classes of non‐linear modular n‐queens solutions. These pandiagonal Latin squares are not row cyclic, giving a partial solution to a problem of Hedayat. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Combin Designs 15: 221–234, 2007 相似文献

We prove tight upper and lower bounds on the internal energy per particle (expected number of monochromatic edges per vertex) in the anti‐ferromagnetic Potts model on cubic graphs at every temperature and for all . This immediately implies corresponding tight bounds on the anti‐ferromagnetic Potts partition function. Taking the zero‐temperature limit gives new results in extremal combinatorics: the number of q‐colorings of a 3‐regular graph, for any , is maximized by a union of 's. This proves the d = 3 case of a conjecture of Galvin and Tetali. 相似文献

A Sudoku grid is a 9×9 Latin square further constrained to have nine non-overlapping 3×3 mini-grids each of which contains the values 1–9. In Δ-Quasi-Magic Sudoku a further constraint is imposed such that every row, column and diagonal in each mini-grid sums to an integer in the interval [15−Δ,15+Δ]. The problem of proving certain (computationally known) results for Δ=2 concerning mini-grids and bands (rows of mini-grids) was posed at the British Combinatorial Conference in 2007. These proofs are presented and extensions of these provide a full combinatorial enumeration for the total number of completed 2-Quasi-Magic Sudoku grids. It is also shown that there are 40 isomorphism classes of completed 2-Quasi-Magic Sudoku grids. 相似文献

如果两个v阶拉丁方L和M的重叠产生恰好r个不同的有序对,则称L和M是r-正交的.如果L还是M的(i,j,k)-共轭,则称L是(i,j,k)-共轭r-正交的,简记为(i,j,k)-r-COLS(v)((i,j,k)-r-conjugate orthogonal Latin square of order v),其中{i,j,k}={1,2,3}.本文研究(3,2,1)-r-COLS(v)的存在性问题.对于v 23,除去少数几个可能的例外值,本文给出关于(3,2,1)-r-COLS(v)的几乎完整的解.对于v23,如果r∈[v,v2]\{v+1,v+2,v+3,v+5,v+7,v2 1},除去可能的例外r=v2 3,都存在(3,2,1)-r-COLS(v).由于(3,2,1)-r-COLS(v)的存在性与(1,3,2)-r-COLS(v)的存在性是等价的,本文得到关于(1,3,2)-r-COLS(v)的同样结论. 相似文献
