On Single Valued Neutrosophic Regularity Spaces

This article aims to present new terms of single-valued neutrosophic notions in theˇSostak sense,known as singlevalued neutrosophic regularity spaces.Concepts such as r-single-valued neutrosophic semi￡-open,r-single-valued neutrosophic pre-￡-open,r-single valued neutrosophic regular-￡-open and r-single valued neutrosophicα￡-open are defined and their properties are studied as well as the relationship between them.Moreover,we introduce the concept of r-single valued neutrosophicθ￡-cluster point and r-single-valued neutrosophicγ￡-cluster point,r-θ￡-closed,andθ￡-closure operators and study some of their properties.Also,we present and investigate the notions of r-single-valued neutrosophicθ￡-connectedness and r-single valued neutrosophicδ￡-connectedness and investigate relationship with single-valued neutrosophic almost￡-regular.We compare all these forms of connectedness and investigate their properties in single-valued neutrosophic semiregular and single-valued neutrosophic almost regular in neutrosophic ideal topological spaces inˇSostak sense.The usefulness of these concepts are incorporated to multiple attribute groups of comparison within the connectedness and separateness ofθ￡andδ￡.

Minor and Minimum Cycle Bases of a 3-connected Planar Graph

In this paper, we prove that if any set of ｜E（G）｜- ｜V（G）｜ ＋ 1 facial cycles of a 3-connected planar graph G embedded in the plane doesn＇t form a minimum cycle base of G, then any minimum cycle base of G contains a separating cycle, and G has a minor isomorphic to T6, where T6 is the graph obtained from the complete graph K6 by deleting a path with four edges.

The Characterization of Graphs with No 2-connected Spanning Subgraph of V_(8)as a Minor

It is difficult to characterize graphs which contain no a 2-connected graph as a minor in graph theory.Let V_(8)be a graph constructed from an 8-cycle by connecting the antipodal vertices.There are thirteen 2-connected spanning subgraphs of V_(8).In particular,one of them is obtained from the Petersen graph by deleting two vertices and it is also a hard problem to characterize Petersen-minor-free graphs.In this paper,we characterize internally 4-connected graphs which contain a 2-connected spanning subgraph of V_(8)as a forbidden minor.

LONGEST CYCLES IN 2-CONNECTEDCLAW-FREE GRAPHS

M. Matthews and D. Sumner proved that if G is a 2-connected claw-free graph of order n, then c(G) min{2δb + 4, n}. In this paper, we prove that if G is a,2-connected claw-free graph on n venices, then c(G) min{3δ + 2, n} or G belongs to one exceptional class of graphs.

2-Connected Factor-critical Graphs G with Exactly ｜E(G)｜ ＋ 1 Maximum Matchings

Solution to an Extremal Problem on Bigraphic Pairs with a Z3-connected Realization

Let S = （a1,...,am;b1,...,bn）, where a1,...,am and b1,...,bn are two nonincreasing sequences of nonnegative integers. The pair S= （a1,..., am; b1,..., bn） is said to be a bigraphic pair if there is a simple bipartite graph G = （X ∪ Y, E） such that a1,…, am and b1,..., bn are the degrees of the vertices in X and Y, respectively. Let Z3 be the cyclic group of order 3. Define σ（Z3, m, n） to be the minimum integer k such that every bigraphic pair S = （a1,..., am; b1,..., bn） with am, b ≥ 2 and σ（S） = a1 ＋ ... ＋ am ≥ k has a Z3-connected realization. For n = m, Yin [Discrete Math., 339, 2018-2026 （2016）] recently determined the values of σ（Z3,m,m） for m ≥ 4. In this paper, we completely determine the values of σ（Z3, m, n） for m ≥ n ≥4.

Removable Edges in a 5-Connected Graph

An edge e of a k-connected graph G is said to be a removable edge if G O e is still k-connected, where G e denotes the graph obtained from G by deleting e to get G - e, and for any end vertex of e with degree k - 1 in G- e, say x, delete x, and then add edges between any pair of non-adjacent vertices in NG-e （x）. The existence of removable edges of k-connected graphs and some properties of 3-connected and 4-connected graphs have been investigated [1, 11, 14, 15]. In the present paper, we investigate some properties of 5-connected graphs and study the distribution of removable edges on a cycle and a spanning tree in a 5- connected graph. Based on the properties, we proved that for a 5-connected graph G of order at least 10, if the edge-vertex-atom of G contains at least three vertices, then G has at least （3│G│ ＋ 2）/2 removable edges.

Z3-CONNECTIVITY OF 4-EDGE-CONNECTED TRIANGULAR GRAPHS

A graph G is k-triangular if each of its edge is contained in at least k triangles. It is conjectured that every 4-edge-connected triangular graph admits a nowhere-zero 3-flow. A triangle-path in a graph G is a sequence of distinct triangles T1T2%…Tk in G such that for 1 〈 i 〈 k - 1, IE（Ti）∩E（Ti＋1）1= 1 and E（Ti） n E（Tj）=φ if j 〉 i＋1. Two edges e, e＇∈ E（G） are triangularly connected if there is a triangle-path T1, T2,... , Tk in G such that e ∈ E（T1） and er ∈ E（Tk）. Two edges e, e＇ ∈E（G） are equivalent if they are the same, parallel or triangularly connected. It is easy to see that this is an equivalent relation. Each equivalent class is called a triangularly connected component. In this paper, we prove that every 4-edge-connected triangular graph G is Z3-connected, unless it has a triangularly connected component which is not Z3-connected but admits a nowhere-zero 3-flow.

Zeolitic germanosilicate analogue to pharmacosiderite crystallized in an acidic medium

Zeolites are typically synthesized in alkaline or fluoride-containing near-neutral media.Sophisticated organic structure-directing agents have been investigated for such systems with the aim of discovering materials with unprecedented structures and properties for novel technical applications.In contrast,zeolite crystallization in strongly acidic media has yet to be explored.This study demonstrates that a zeolitic silicate phase crystallizes from acidic gels using trimethylamine as an organic additive with the composition 1 SiO_(2):0.3 TMA:0.3 HCl:0.15 HF:55 H_(2)O:(0.1-0.4)GeO_(2).This phase has an interrupted four-connected framework analog to the octahedron/tetrahedron-mixed framework of the mineral family pharmacosiderite.In comparison to the pharmacosiderite-type HK_(3)(Ge_(7)O_(16))(H_(2)O)_(4),the four GeO_(6)-octahedra forming the central[HGe_(4)O_(4)O_(12)]-cluster are replaced by four SiO_(4)-tetrahedra in a[Si_(4)O_(6)(OH)2.89]-unit in the new phase.However,the structure is distorted and may contain connectivity and point defects;thus,healing by the occasional incorporation of GeO_(6)-units is necessary.The refined unit cell has a cubic symmetry,space group P-43m(#215),with a=7.7005(1)Å.Acidic-medium synthesis is a useful way to find new zeolites that move in a fundamentally different direction from sophisticated organic structure-directing agents.

Reticular exploration of uranium-based metal-organic frameworks with hexacarboxylate building units

The rational reticular design of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)from building units of known geometries is essential for enriching the diversity of MOF structures.Unexpected and intriguing structures,however,can also arise from subtle changes in the rigidity/length of organic linkers and/or synthetic conditions.Herein,we report three uranium-based MOF structures—i.e.,NU-135X(X=0,1,2)—synthesized from trigonal planar uranyl nodes and triptycene-based hexacarboxylate ligands with variable arm lengths.A new chiral 3,6-connected nuc net was observed in NU-1350,while the extended versions of the ligand led to 3-fold catenated MOFs(NU-1351 and NU-1352)with rare 3,6-connected cml-c3 nets.The differences in the topology of NU-1350 and NU-1351/NU-1352 could be attributed to the slight distortions of the shorter linker in the former from the ideal trigonal prism geometry to an octahedral geometry when coordinated to the trigonal planar uranyl nodes.

K-Factors and Hamilton Cycles in Graphs

We discuss k-factors and Hamiltonian Graphs in graph theory. We prove a general version of the conjecture by R. Haggkvist; as a result, we prove two extended versions of two well-known theorems due to O. Ore and B. Jachson, respectively.

HAMILTONIAN CYCLES IN REGULAR GRAPHS

Many results have been obtained in investigating the existence of Hamiltonian cycles in 2-connected, k-regular graphs, see [3], [1], [4], [6] and [2].We consider only simple graphs here and use standard graph theory notations and terminology. We let V(G) and E(G) denote the vertex set and the edge set of graph G respectively.
