Signed total domination in nearly regular graphs

A function f： V（ G）→{1,1} defined on the vertices of a graph G is a signed total dominating function （STDF） if the sum of its function values over any open neighborhood is at least one. An STDF f is minimal if there does not extst a STDF g： V（G）→{-1,1}, f≠g, for which g （ v ）≤f（ v ） for every v∈V（ G ）. The weight of a STDF is the sum of its function values over all vertices. The signed total domination number of G is the minimum weight of a STDF of G, while the upper signed domination number of G is the maximum weight of a minimal STDF of G, In this paper, we present sharp upper bounds on the upper signed total domination number of a nearly regular graph.

Search algorithm on strongly regular graphs based on scattering quantum walks

Janmark, Meyer, and Wong showed that continuous-time quantum walk search on known families of strongly regular graphs（SRGs） with parameters（N, k, λ, μ） achieves full quantum speedup. The problem is reconsidered in terms of scattering quantum walk, a type of discrete-time quantum walks. Here, the search space is confined to a low-dimensional subspace corresponding to the collapsed graph of SRGs. To quantify the algorithm＇s performance, we leverage the fundamental pairing theorem, a general theory developed by Cottrell for quantum search of structural anomalies in star graphs.The search algorithm on the SRGs with k scales as N satisfies the theorem, and results can be immediately obtained, while search on the SRGs with k scales as√N does not satisfy the theorem, and matrix perturbation theory is used to provide an analysis. Both these cases can be solved in O（√N） time steps with a success probability close to 1. The analytical conclusions are verified by simulation results on two SRGs. These examples show that the formalism on star graphs can be applied more generally.

Generalized Krein Parameters of a Strongly Regular Graph

We consider the real three-dimensional Euclidean Jordan algebra associated to a strongly regular graph. Then, the Krein parameters of a strongly regular graph are generalized and some generalized Krein admissibility conditions are deduced. Furthermore, we establish some relations between the classical Krein parameters and the generalized Krein parameters.

Zeta Functions of the Complement and xyz-Transformations of a Regular Graph

Let Z(λ,G)denote the zeta function of a graph G.In this paper the complement G^Cand the G^(xyz)-transformation G^(xyz)of an r-regular graph G with n vertices and m edges for x,y,z∈{0,1,+,-},are considerd.The relationship between Z(λ,G)and Z(λ,G^C)is obtained.For all x,y,z∈{0,1,+,-},the explicit formulas for the reciprocal of Z(λ,G^(xyz))in terms of r,m,n and the characteristic polynomial of G are obtained.Due to limited space,only the expressions for G^(xyz)with z=0,and xyz∈{0++,+++,1+-}are presented here.

Binomial Hadamard Series and Inequalities over the Spectra of a Strongly Regular Graph

Let G be a primitive strongly regular graph of order n and A is adjacency matrix. In this paper we first associate to A a real 3-dimensional Euclidean Jordan algebra? with rank three spanned by In and the natural powers of A that is a subalgebra of the Euclidean Jordan algebra of symmetric matrix of order n. Next we consider a basis? that is a Jordan frame of . Finally, by an algebraic asymptotic analysis of the second spectral decomposition of some Hadamard series associated to A we establish some inequalities over the spectra and over the parameters of a strongly regular graph.

Laplacian Energies of Regular Graph Transformations

Let LE(G) denote the Laplacian energy of a graph G. In this paper the xyz-transformations G^(xyz) of an r-regular graph G for x,y,z∈{0,1, +,-} are considered. The explicit formulas of LE(G^(xyz)) are presented in terms of r,the number of vertices of G for any positive integer r and x,y,z∈{ 0,1},and also for r = 2 and all x,y,z∈{0,1,+,-}. Some Laplacian equienergetic pairs of G^(xyz) for r = 2 and x,y,z∈{0,1, +,-} are obtained. This also provides several ways to construct infinitely many pairs of Laplacian equienergetic graphs.

A family of generalized strongly regular graphs of grade 2

A generalized strongly regular graphof grade p,as anew generalization of strongly regular graphs,is a regular graph such that the number of common neighbours of both any two adjacent vertices and any two non-adjacent vertices takes on p distinct values.For any vertex u of a generalized strongly regular graph of grade 2 with parameters(n,k;a_(1),a_(2);c_(1),c_(2)),if the number of the vertices that are adjacent to u and share ai(i=1,2)common neighbours with u,or are non-adjacent to u and share c,(i=1,2)common neighbours with is independent of the choice of the vertex u,then the generalized strongly regular graph of grade 2 is free.In this paper,we investigate the generalized strongly regular graph of grade 2 with parameters(n,k;k-1,a_(2);k-1,c_(2))and provide the sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of a family of free generalized strongly regular graphs of grade 2.

The Non-Inclusive Diagnosability of Regular Graphs

Fault diagnosis is an important area of study with regard to the design and maintenance of multiprocessor systems.A new measure for fault diagnosis of systems,namely,non-inclusive diagnosability(denoted by MM^(*)),was proposed by Ding et al.In this paper,we establish the non-inclusive diagnosability of a class of regular graphs under the PMC model and the MM^(*)model.As applications,the non-inclusive diagnosabilities of hypercubes,hierarchical hypercubes,folded hypercubes,star graphs,bubble-sort graphs,pancake graphs and dual cubes are determined under the PMC model and the[Math Processing Error]model.

Bounds on the clique-transversal number of regular graphs

A clique-transversal set D of a graph G is a set of vertices of G such that D meets all cliques of G. The clique-transversal number, denoted τ c (G), is the minimum cardinality of a clique-transversal set in G. In this paper we present the bounds on the clique-transversal number for regular graphs and characterize the extremal graphs achieving the lower bound. Also, we give the sharp bounds on the clique-transversal number for claw-free cubic graphs and we characterize the extremal graphs achieving the lower bound.

Two-level Bregmanized method for image interpolation with graph regularized sparse coding

A two-level Bregmanized method with graph regularized sparse coding （TBGSC） is presented for image interpolation. The outer-level Bregman iterative procedure enforces the observation data constraints, while the inner-level Bregmanized method devotes to dictionary updating and sparse represention of small overlapping image patches. The introduced constraint of graph regularized sparse coding can capture local image features effectively, and consequently enables accurate reconstruction from highly undersampled partial data. Furthermore, modified sparse coding and simple dictionary updating applied in the inner minimization make the proposed algorithm converge within a relatively small number of iterations. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively reconstruct images and it outperforms the current state-of-the-art approaches in terms of visual comparisons and quantitative measures.

Weak Internal Partition of Regular Graphs

An(s,t)-partition of a graph G=(V,E)is a partition of V=V 1∪V 2 suchthatδ(G[V_(1)])≥s andδ(G[V_(2)])≥t.Ithasbeenconjecturedthat,forsufficiently large n,every d-regular graph of order n has a(d/2,d/2)-partition(called an internal partition).Inthispaper,weprovethateveryd-regulargraphofordern hasa(d/2,d/2)partition(called a weak internal partition)for d≤9 and sufficiently large n.

k-Factors in Regular Graphs

Plesnik in 1972 proved that an （m - 1）-edge connected m-regular graph of even order has a 1-factor containing any given edge and has another 1-factor excluding any given m - 1 edges. Alder et al. in 1999 showed that if G is a regular （2n ＋ 1）-edge-connected bipartite graph, then G has a 1-factor containing any given edge and excluding any given matching of size n. In this paper we obtain some sufficient conditions related to the edge-connectivity for an n-regular graph to have a k-factor containing a set of edges and （or） excluding a set of edges, where 1 ≤ k ≤n/2. In particular, we generalize Plesnik＇s result and the results obtained by Liu et al. in 1998, and improve Katerinis＇ result obtained 1993. Furthermore, we show that the results in this paper are the best possible.

The Existence of Even Regular Factors of Regular Graphs on the Number of Cut Edges

For any even integer k and any integer i, we prove that a （kr ＋i）-regular multigraph contains a k-factor if it contains no more than kr - 3k/2＋ i ＋ 2 cut edges, and this result is the best possible to guarantee the existence of k-factor in terms of the number of cut edges. We further give a characterization for k-factor free regular graphs.

The Ferry Cover Problem on Regular Graphs and Small-Degree Graphs

The ferry problem may be viewed as generalizations of the classical wolf-goatcabbage puzzle. The ferry cover problem is to determine the minimum required boat capacity to safely transport n items represented by a conflict graph. The Alcuin number of a conflict graph is the smallest capacity of a boat for which the graph possesses a feasible ferry schedule. In this paper the authors determine the Alcuin number of regular graphs and graphs with maximum degree at most five.

Some results on strongly regular graphs from unions of cyclotomic classes

Vertex-antimagic Labelings of Regular Graphs

Let G = （V, E） be a finite, simple and undirected graph with p vertices and q edges. An （a, d）-vertex-antimagic total labeling of G is a bijection f from V（G） t2 E（G） onto the set of consecutive integers 1, 2,... ,p ＋ q, such that the vertex-weights form an arithmetic progression with the initial term a and difference d, where the vertex-weight of x is the sum of the value f（x） assigned to the vertex x together with all values f（xy） assigned to edges xy incident to x. Such labeling is called super if the smallest possible labels appear on the vertices. In this paper, we study the properties of such labelings and examine their existence for 2r-regular graphs when the difference d is 0, 1,..., r ＋ 1.
