In communication field, an important issue is to group users and base stations to as many as possible subnetworks satisfying certain interference constraints. These problems are usually formulated as a graph partition problems which…
We study two kinds of conjectural bounds for the prime gap after the k-th prime $p_k$: (A) $p_{k+1} < (p_k)^{1+1/k}$ and (B) $p_{k+1}-p_k < \log^2 p_k - \log p_k - b$ for $k>9$. The upper bound (A) is equivalent to Firoozbakht's conjecture.…
The problem of finding upper bounds for L-functions at the edge of the critical strip has a long and interesting history. Here, the situation for classical L-functions such as Dirichlet L-functions is relatively well understood. The reason…
For a finite simple graph $G$ we give an upper bound for the regularity of the powers of the edge ideal $I(G)$.
We construct an edge-colored digraph analogous to Mathon's construction for undirected graphs. We show that this graph is connected to the $k$-th power Paley digraphs and we use this connection to produce improved lower bounds for…
A Kirchhoff graph is a vector graph with orthogonal cycles and vertex cuts. An algorithm has been developed that constructs all the Kirchhoff graphs up to a fixed edge multiplicity. This algorithm is used to explore the structure of prime…
Let $k\ge 1$ be an odd integer, $t=\lfloor {{k+2}\over 4}\rfloor$, and $q$ be a prime power. We construct a bipartite, $q$-regular, edge-transitive graph $C\!D(k,q)$ of order $v \le 2q^{k-t+1}$ and girth $g \ge k+5$. If $e$ is the the…
A signed graph is a graph where each edge receives a sign, positive or negative. The signed graph model has been used in many real applications, such as protein complex discovery and social network analysis. Finding cohesive subgraphs in…
The enhanced power graph of a group is the simple graph whose vertex set is consisted of all elements of the group, and whose any pair of vertices are adjacent if they generate a cyclic subgroup. In this paper, we classify all finite groups…
A primitive $k$-batch code encodes a string $x$ of length $n$ into string $y$ of length $N$, such that each multiset of $k$ symbols from $x$ has $k$ mutually disjoint recovering sets from $y$. We develop new explicit and random coding…
The article focuses on the problems of prime gaps and zero spacings. Possible solutions of several related problems such as the greatest lower bound, the least upper bound of the zero spacings, and the least upper bound of the prime gaps…
The kth power of a simple graph G, denoted G^k, is the graph with vertex set V(G) where two vertices are adjacent if they are within distance k in G. We are interested in finding lower bounds on the average degree of G^k. Here we prove that…
We prove an explicit upper bound for the k-th prime ideal with fixed Artin symbol, under the assumption of the validity of the Riemann hypothesis for the Dedekind zeta functions.
This paper investigates the class of k-universal finite graphs, a local analog of the class of universal graphs, which arises naturally in the study of finite variable logics. The main results of the paper, which are due to Shelah,…
Kuratowski's theorem says that the minimal (under subgraph containment) graphs that are not planar are the subdivisions of $K_5$ and of $K_{3,3}$. Here we study the minimal (under subdigraph containment) strongly-connected digraphs that are…
Given a simple connected graph on $N$ vertices with size $|E|$ and degree sequence $d_{1}\leq d_{2}\leq ...\leq d_{N}$, the aim of this paper is to exhibit new upper and lower bounds for the additive degree-Kirchhoff index in closed forms,…
The well-known absolute bound condition for a primitive symmetric association scheme (X,S) gives an upper bound for |X| in terms of |S| and the minimal non-principal multiplicity of the scheme. In this paper we prove another upper bounds…
We study the existence and construction of sparse supports for hypergraphs derived from subgraphs of a graph $G$. For a hypergraph $(X,\mathcal{H})$, a support $Q$ is a graph on $X$ s.t. $Q[H]$, the graph induced on vertices in $H$ is…
We study the base sizes of finite quasiprimitive permutation groups of twisted wreath type, which are precisely the finite permutation groups with a unique minimal normal subgroup that is also non-abelian, non-simple and regular. Every…
A topological graph is \emph{$k$-quasi-planar} if it does not contain $k$ pairwise crossing edges. A topological graph is \emph{simple} if every pair of its edges intersect at most once (either at a vertex or at their intersection). In…
