Let k, m, n, λ, and μ be positive integers. A decomposition of into edge‐disjoint subgraphs is said to be enclosed by a decomposition of into edge‐disjoint subgraphs if and, after a suitable labeling of the vertices in both graphs, is a subgraph of and is a subgraph of for all . In this paper, we continue the study of enclosings of given decompositions by decompositions that consist of spanning subgraphs. A decomposition of a graph is a 2‐factorization if each subgraph is 2‐regular and spanning, and is Hamiltonian if each subgraph is a Hamiltonian cycle. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a 2‐factorization of that encloses a given decomposition of whenever and . We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Hamiltonian decomposition of that encloses a given decomposition of whenever and either or and , or , , and . 相似文献

Let denote the complete graph if v is odd and , the complete graph with the edges of a 1‐factor removed, if v is even. Given nonnegative integers , the Hamilton–Waterloo problem asks for a 2‐factorization of into α ‐factors and β ‐factors, with a ‐factor of being a spanning 2‐regular subgraph whose components are ℓ‐cycles. Clearly, , , and are necessary conditions. In this paper, we extend a previous result by the same authors and show that for any odd the above necessary conditions are sufficient, except possibly when , or when . Note that in the case where v is odd, M and N must be odd. If M and N are odd but v is even, we also show sufficiency but with further possible exceptions. In addition, we provide results on 2‐factorizations of the complete equipartite graph and the lexicographic product of a cycle with the empty graph. 相似文献

Given a combinatorial design with block set , the block‐intersection graph (BIG) of is the graph that has as its vertex set, where two vertices and are adjacent if and only if . The i‐block‐intersection graph (i‐BIG) of is the graph that has as its vertex set, where two vertices and are adjacent if and only if . In this paper, several constructions are obtained that start with twofold triple systems (TTSs) with Hamiltonian 2‐BIGs and result in larger TTSs that also have Hamiltonian 2‐BIGs. These constructions collectively enable us to determine the complete spectrum of TTSs with Hamiltonian 2‐BIGs (equivalently TTSs with cyclic 2‐intersecting Gray codes) as well as the complete spectrum for TTSs with 2‐BIGs that have Hamilton paths (i.e. for TTSs with 2‐intersecting Gray codes). In order to prove these spectrum results, we sometimes require ingredient TTSs that have large partial parallel classes; we prove lower bounds on the sizes of partial parallel classes in arbitrary TTSs, and then construct larger TTSs with both cyclic 2‐intersecting Gray codes and parallel classes. 相似文献

Augmented orthogonal arrays (AOAs) were introduced by Stinson, who showed the equivalence between ideal ramp schemes and AOAs (Discrete Math. 341 (2018), 299–307). In this paper, we show that there is an AOA if and only if there is an OA which can be partitioned into subarrays, each being an OA, and that there is a linear AOA if and only if there is a linear maximum distance separable (MDS) code of length and dimension over , which contains a linear MDS subcode of length and dimension over . Some constructions for AOAs and some new infinite classes of AOAs are also given. 相似文献

We also give a generalization of a result by Colbourn et al., which provides a simple and indecomposable 1‐factorization of , where , , p prime. 相似文献

Steiner systems are a fascinating topic of combinatorics. The most studied Steiner systems are (Steiner triple systems), (Steiner quadruple systems), and . There are a few infinite families of Steiner systems in the literature. The objective of this paper is to present an infinite family of Steiner systems for all from cyclic codes. As a by‐product, many infinite families of 2‐designs are also reported in this paper. 相似文献

A cyclic code is a cyclic q‐ary code of length n, constant weight w and minimum distance d. Let denote the largest possible size of a cyclic code. The pure and mixed difference method plays an important role in the determination of upper bound on . By analyzing the distribution of odd mixed and pure differences, an improved upper bound on is obtained for . A new construction based on special sequences is provided and the exact value of is almost completely determined for all d and n except when and . Our constructions reveal intimate connections between cyclic constant weight codes and special sequences, particularly Skolem‐type sequences. 相似文献

Fisher proved in 1940 that any 2‐ design with has at least v blocks. In 1975, Ray‐Chaudhuri and Wilson generalized this result by showing that every t‐ design with has at least blocks. By combining methods used by Bose and Wilson in proofs of these results, we obtain new lower bounds on the size of t‐ coverings. Our results generalize lower bounds on the size of 2‐ coverings recently obtained by the first author. 相似文献

In particular, we show that the necessary conditions for the existence of these designs when and are sufficient in the following cases: , with one exception, 2651, , and . 相似文献

We establish that the logarithm of the number of latin d‐cubes of order n is and the logarithm of the number of sets of t ( is fixed) orthogonal latin squares of order n is . Similar estimations are obtained for systems of mutually strongly orthogonal latin d‐cubes. As a consequence, we construct a set of Steiner quadruple systems of order n such that the logarithm of its cardinality is as and . 相似文献

Given a set S of symbols, and integers and , an array is said to cover a t‐set of columns if all sequences in appear as rows in the corresponding subarray of A. If A covers all t‐subsets of columns, it is called an ‐covering array. These arrays have a wide variety of applications, driving the search for small covering arrays. Here, we consider an inverse problem: rather than aiming to cover all t‐sets of columns with the smallest possible array, we fix the size N of the array to be equal to and try to maximize the number of covered t‐sets. With the machinery of hypergraph Lagrangians, we provide an upper bound on the number of t‐sets that can be covered. A linear algebraic construction shows this bound to be tight; exactly so in the case when v is a prime power and divides k, and asymptotically so in other cases. As an application, by combining our construction with probabilistic arguments, we match the best‐known asymptotics of the covering array number , which is the smallest N for which an ‐covering array exists, and improve the upper bounds on the almost‐covering array number . 相似文献

Let X be a ‐set and be a partition of X into n groups of size 2 and one group G0 of size 4. A large‐set‐plus denoted by LS is a partition of all ‐transverse triples of X into block sets of 3‐GDD(2n41)s with group set , and two block sets of 3‐GDD(2n)s with group set . In this paper, we study the existence problem of LSs and give a nearly complete solution. 相似文献

In this paper, we consider the following question. What is the maximum number of pairwise disjoint k‐spreads that exist in PG()? We prove that if divides and then there exist at least two disjoint k‐spreads in PG() and there exist at least pairwise disjoint k‐spreads in PG(n, 2). We also extend the known results on parallelism in a projective geometry from which the points of a given subspace were removed. 相似文献

Given nonnegative integers , the Hamilton–Waterloo problem asks for a factorization of the complete graph into α ‐factors and β ‐factors. Without loss of generality, we may assume that . Clearly, v odd, , , and are necessary conditions. To date results have only been found for specific values of m and n. In this paper, we show that for any integers , these necessary conditions are sufficient when v is a multiple of and , except possibly when or 3. For the case where we show sufficiency when with some possible exceptions. We also show that when are odd integers, the lexicographic product of with the empty graph of order n has a factorization into α ‐factors and β ‐factors for every , , with some possible exceptions. 相似文献

Ovoids of generalized quadrangles of order and Delsarte cocliques in related strongly regular graphs
《组合设计杂志》2018,26(5):249-263
We investigate strongly regular graphs for which Hoffman's ratio bound and Cvetcović's inertia bound are equal. This means that , where v is the number of vertices, k is the regularity, is the smallest eigenvalue, and is the multiplicity of . We show that Delsarte cocliques do not exist for all Taylor's 2‐graphs and for point graphs of generalized quadrangles of order for infinitely many q. For cases where equality may hold, we show that for nearly all parameter sets, there are at most two Delsarte cocliques. 相似文献

For two graphs G and H their wreath product has vertex set in which two vertices and are adjacent whenever or and . Clearly, , where is an independent set on n vertices, is isomorphic to the complete m‐partite graph in which each partite set has exactly n vertices. A 2‐regular subgraph of the complete multipartite graph containing vertices of all but one partite set is called partial 2‐factor. For an integer λ, denotes a graph G with uniform edge multiplicity λ. Let J be a set of integers. If can be partitioned into edge‐disjoint partial 2‐factors consisting cycles of lengths from J, then we say that has a ‐cycle frame. In this paper, we show that for and , there exists a ‐cycle frame of if and only if and . In fact our results completely solve the existence of a ‐cycle frame of . 相似文献
