Six-flows on almost balanced signed graphs

In 1983, Bouchet conjectured that every flow-admissible signed graph admits a nowhere-zero 6-flow. By Seymour's 6-flow theorem, Bouchet's conjecture holds for signed graphs with all edges positive. Recently, Rollová et al proved that every flow-admissible signed cubic graph with two negative edges admits a nowhere-zero 7-flow, and admits a nowhere-zero 6-flow if its underlying graph either contains a bridge, or is 3-edge-colorable, or is critical. In this paper, we improve and extend these results, and confirm Bouchet's conjecture for signed graphs with frustration number at most two, where the frustration number of a signed graph is the smallest number of vertices whose deletion leaves a balanced signed graph.     

Signed degree sets in signed graphs

The set D of distinct signed degrees of the vertices in a signed graph G is called its signed degree set. In this paper, we prove that every non-empty set of positive (negative) integers is the signed degree set of some connected signed graph and determine the smallest possible order for such a signed graph. We also prove that every non-empty set of integers is the signed degree set of some connected signed graph.     

Shorter signed circuit covers of graphs

A signed circuit is a minimal signed graph (with respect to inclusion) that admits a nowhere-zero flow. We show that each flow-admissible signed graph on edges can be covered by signed circuits of total length at most , improving a recent result of Cheng et al. To obtain this improvement, we prove several results on signed circuit covers of trees of Eulerian graphs, which are connected signed graphs such that removing all bridges results in a collection of Eulerian graphs.

Signed graph factors and degree sequences

For a signed graph G and function , a signed f‐factor of G is a spanning subgraph F such that sdeg_F(υ) = f(υ) for every vertex υ of G, where sdeg(υ) is the number of positive edges incident with v less the number of negative edges incident with υ, with loops counting twice in either case. For a given vertex‐function f, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a signed graph G to have a signed f‐factor. As a consequence of this result, an Erd?s‐Gallai‐type result is given for a sequence of integers to be the degree sequence of a signed r‐graph, the graph with at most r positive and r negative edges between a given pair of distinct vertices. We discuss how the theory can be altered when mixed edges (i.e., edges with one positive and one negative end) are allowed, and how it applies to bidirected graphs. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

平衡子欧拉符号图及符号线图

符号图$S=(S^u,\sigma)$是以$S^u$作为底图并且满足$\sigma: E(S^u)\rightarrow\{+,-\}$. 设$E^-(S)$表示$S$的负边集. 如果$S^u$是欧拉的(或者分别是子欧拉的, 欧拉的且$|E^-(S)|$是偶数, 则$S$是欧拉符号图(或者分别是子欧拉符号图, 平衡欧拉符号图). 如果存在平衡欧拉符号图$S''$使得$S''$由$S$生成, 则$S$是平衡子欧拉符号图. 符号图$S$的线图$L(S)$也是一个符号图, 使得$L(S)$的点是$S$中的边, 其中$e_ie_j$是$L(S)$中的边当且仅当$e_i$和$e_j$在$S$中相邻,并且$e_ie_j$是$L(S)$中的负边当且仅当$e_i$和$e_j$在$S$中都是负边. 本文给出了两个符号图族$S$和$S''$,它们应用于刻画平衡子欧拉符号图和平衡子欧拉符号线图. 特别地, 本文证明了符号图$S$是平衡子欧拉的当且仅当$\not\in S$, $S$的符号线图是平衡子欧拉的当且仅当$S\not\in S''$.

Signed domination numbers of directed graphs

The concept of signed domination number of an undirected graph (introduced by J. E. Dunbar, S. T. Hedetniemi, M. A. Henning and P. J. Slater) is transferred to directed graphs. Exact values are found for particular types of tournaments. It is proved that for digraphs with a directed Hamiltonian cycle the signed domination number may be arbitrarily small.

Strongly invertible links and divides

To a proper generic immersion of a finite number of copies of the unit interval in a 2-disc, called a divide, A’Campo associates a link in S³. From the more general notion of ordered Morse signed divides, one obtains a braid presentation of links of divides. In this paper, we prove that every strongly invertible link is isotopic to the link of an ordered Morse signed divide. We give fundamental moves for ordered Morse signed divides and show that strongly invertible links are equivalent if and only if we can pass from one ordered Morse signed divide to the other by a sequence of such moves. Then we associate a polynomial to an ordered Morse signed divide, invariant for these moves. So this polynomial is invariant for the equivalence of strongly invertible links.     

On binary signed digit representations of integers

Applications of signed digit representations of an integer include computer arithmetic, cryptography, and digital signal processing. An integer of length n bits can have several binary signed digit (BSD) representations and their number depends on its value and varies with its length. In this paper, we present an algorithm that calculates the exact number of BSDR of an integer of a certain length. We formulate the integer that has the maximum number of BSDR among all integers of the same length. We also present an algorithm to generate a random BSD representation for an integer starting from the most significant end and its modified version which generates all possible BSDR. We show how the number of BSD representations of k increases as we prepend 0s to its binary representation.
