In 2020, Bennett, Carrillo, Machacek and Sagan gave a polynomial generalization of the Narayana numbers and conjectured that these polynomials have positive integer coefficients for and for . In 2020, Sagan and Tirrell used a powerful algebraic method to prove this conjecture (in fact, they extend and prove the conjecture for more than just the type A case). In this paper we give a combinatorial proof of a formula satisfied by the Lucas-Narayana polynomials described by Bennett et al. This gives a combinatorial proof that these polynomials have positive integer coefficients. A corollary of our main result establishes a parallel theorem for the FiboNarayana numbers , providing a combinatorial proof of the conjecture that these are positive integers for . 相似文献

In 1996, Cox and Rodger [Cycle systems of the line graph of the complete graph, J. Graph Theory 21 (1996) 173–182] raised the following question: For what values of and does there exist an -cycle decomposition of In this paper, the above question is answered for In fact, it is shown that the -fold line graph of the complete graph has a -decomposition if and only if and 相似文献

For given graphs , , the -color Ramsey number, denoted by , is the smallest integer such that if we arbitrarily color the edges of a complete graph of order with colors, then it always contains a monochromatic copy of colored with , for some . Let be a cycle of length and a star of order . In this paper, firstly we give a general upper bound of . In particular, for the 3-color case, we have and this bound is tight in some sense. Furthermore, we prove that for all and , and if is a prime power, then the equality holds. 相似文献

A discrete function of variables is a mapping , where , and are arbitrary finite sets. Function is called separable if there exist functions for , such that for every input the function takes one of the values . Given a discrete function , it is an interesting problem to ask whether is separable or not. Although this seems to be a very basic problem concerning discrete functions, the complexity of recognition of separable discrete functions of variables is known only for . In this paper we will show that a slightly more general recognition problem, when is not fully but only partially defined, is NP-complete for . We will then use this result to show that the recognition of fully defined separable discrete functions is NP-complete for .The general recognition problem contains the above mentioned special case for . This case is well-studied in the context of game theory, where (separable) discrete functions of variables are referred to as (assignable) -person game forms. There is a known sufficient condition for assignability (separability) of two-person game forms (discrete functions of two variables) called (weak) total tightness of a game form. This property can be tested in polynomial time, and can be easily generalized both to higher dimension and to partially defined functions. We will prove in this paper that weak total tightness implies separability for (partially defined) discrete functions of variables for any , thus generalizing the above result known for . Our proof is constructive. Using a graph-based discrete algorithm we show how for a given weakly totally tight (partially defined) discrete function of variables one can construct separating functions in polynomial time with respect to the size of the input function. 相似文献

In 2009, Kyaw proved that every -vertex connected -free graph with contains a spanning tree with at most 3 leaves. In this paper, we prove an analogue of Kyaw’s result for connected -free graphs. We show that every -vertex connected -free graph with contains a spanning tree with at most 4 leaves. Moreover, the degree sum condition “” is best possible. 相似文献

Let be a nonzero integer. A set of nonzero integers such that is a perfect square for all is called a --tuple. In this paper, we consider the question, for a given integer which is not a perfect square, how large and how small can be the largest element in a -quadruple. We construct families of -quadruples in which the largest element is of order of magnitude , resp. . 相似文献

The Delannoy numbers count the number of lattice paths from to using steps and . We show that the zeros of all Delannoy polynomials are in the open interval and are dense in the corresponding closed interval. We also show that the Delannoy numbers are asymptotically normal (by central and local limit theorems). 相似文献

Brualdi and Hollingsworth conjectured in Brualdi and Hollingsworth (1996) that in any complete graph , , which is properly colored with colors, the edge set can be partitioned into edge disjoint rainbow spanning trees (where a graph is said to be rainbow if its edges have distinct colors). Constantine (2002) strengthened this conjecture asking the rainbow spanning trees to be pairwise isomorphic. He also showed an example satisfying his conjecture for every . Caughmann, Krussel and Mahoney (2017) recently showed a first infinite family of edge colorings for which the conjecture of Brualdi and Hollingsworth can be verified. In the present paper, we extend this result to all edge-colorings arising from cyclic 1-factorizations of constructed by Hartman and Rosa (1985). Finally, we remark that our constructions permit to extend Constatine’s result also to all . 相似文献

Let denote the maximal number of points on the discrete torus (discrete toric grid) of sizes with no three collinear points. The value is known for the case where is prime. It is also known that . In this paper we generalize some of the known tools for determining and also show some new. Using these tools we prove that the sequence is periodic for all fixed . In general, we do not know the period; however, if for prime, then we can bound it. We prove that which implies that the period for the sequence is , where is at most . 相似文献
