Corrections of proofs for Hansen and Mélot's two theorems

The Randi? index R(G) of a (chemical) graph G is also called connectivity index. Hansen and Mélot [Variable neighborhood search for extremal graphs 6: analyzing bounds for the connectivity index, J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci. 43 (2003) 1-14] in their paper, characterized the chemical trees of given order and number of pendent vertices which have the minimum and maximum Randi? index, respectively. In this note, we point out the mistakes in the proofs of their results Theorems 8 and 10, while we still believe that the two theorems are true, and then we give their corrected proofs.     

Electrode “edge effects” analyzed by the Green function method

An exact method based on Green's equation is used to find the diffusion-controlled faradaic current for certain electrode geometries that incorporate edges and vertices. Thereby the magnitudes of the time-independent current density associated with angled electrode/electrode and electrode/insulator junctions are calculated. As well, the square-root-of-time-dependent currents associated with vertices, receive attention. These terms extend to longer times, the Cottrell formulation appropriate for short times. Though most of the problems solved here have been tackled previously, the novel Green function approach is shown to be straightforward and intuitive.     

A linear time algorithm for balance vertices on trees

The concept of balance vertices was first investigated by Reid (1999). For the main result “the balance vertices of a tree consist of a single vertex or two adjacent vertices”, Shan and Kang (2004) and Reid and DePalma (2005) improved the length and technique of the proof. In this paper we further discuss the balance vertices on trees in a generalization context. We do not only provide a simple efficient proof for the relevant result but also develop a linear time algorithm to find the set of balance vertices on the underlying tree.     

On dynamics of vertices of locally connected polynomial Julia sets

Let be a polynomial whose Julia set is locally connected. Then a non-preperiodic non-precritical vertex of must have the limit set which coincides with the limit set of an appropriately chosen recurrent critical point of . In particular, if all critical points of are non-recurrent then all vertices of are preperiodic or precritical.

     

The structure of matrices with a maximum multiplicity eigenvalue

There is remarkable and distinctive structure among Hermitian matrices, whose graph is a given tree T and that have an eigenvalue of multiplicity that is a maximum for T. Among such structure, we give several new results: (1) no vertex of T may be “neutral”; (2) neutral vertices may occur if the largest multiplicity is less than the maximum; (3) every Parter vertex has at least two downer branches; (4) removal of a Parter vertex changes the status of no other vertex; and (5) every set of Parter vertices forms a Parter set. Statements (3), (4) and (5) are also not generally true when the multiplicity is less than the maximum. Some of our results are used to give further insights into prior results, and both the review of necessary background and the development of new structural lemmas may be of independent interest.     

Cubical d-Polytopes with Few Vertices for d>4

A cubical polytope is a convex polytope all of whose facets are combinatorial cubes. A d-polytope P is called almost simple if, in the graph of P, each vertex of P is d-valent or (d+1)-valent. We show that, for d>4, all but one cubicald -polytopes with up to 2 ^d+1 vertices are almost simple. This provides a complete enumeration of all the cubical d-polytopes with up to 2 ^d+1 vertices, for d>4.     

A graph-theoretic approach for comparing dimensions of components in simply-graded algebras

Any simple group-grading of a finite dimensional complex algebra induces a natural family of digraphs. We prove that in a digraph without parallel edges, the number of pairs of vertices having a common in-neighbor or a common out-neighbor is at least the number of edges. We deduce that for any simple group-grading, the dimension of the trivial component is maximal.     

disjoint cycles containing specified independent vertices

Let k1 be an integer and G be a graph of order n3k satisfying the condition that σ₂(G)n+k-1. Let v₁,…,v_k be k independent vertices of G, and suppose that G has k vertex-disjoint triangles C₁,…,C_k with v_iV(C_i) for all 1ik.Then G has k vertex-disjoint cycles such that
