This paper extends those of Glendinning and Sidorov [3] and of Hare and Sidorov [6] from the case of the doubling map to the more general $\beta$-transformation. Let $\beta \in (1,2)$ and consider the $\beta$-transformation…

Let $0<a<b<1$ and let $T$ be the doubling map. Set $\mathcal J(a,b):=\{x\in[0,1] : T^nx\notin (a,b), n\ge0\}$. In this paper we completely characterize the holes $(a,b)$ for which any of the following scenarios holds: {enumerate} $\mathcal…

The starting point of this work is an equality between two quantities $A$ and $B$ found in the literature, which involve the {\em doubling-modulo-an-odd-integer} map, i.e., $x\in {\mathbb N} \mapsto 2x \bmod{(2n+1)}$ for some positive…

For nonnegative integers $k, d_1, \ldots, d_k$, a graph is $(d_1, \ldots, d_k)$-colorable if its vertex set can be partitioned into $k$ parts so that the $i$th part induces a graph with maximum degree at most $d_i$ for all $i\in\{1, \ldots,…

A $(2+1)$-bispindle $B(k_1,k_2;k_3)$ is the union of two $xy$-dipaths of respective lengths $k_1$ and $k_2$, and one $yx$-dipath of length $k_3$, all these dipaths being pairwise internally disjoint. Recently, Cohen et al. conjectured that,…

We show that if $A$ and $B$ are finite sets of real numbers, then the number of triples $(a,b,c)\in A\times B\times (A\cup B)$ with $a+b=2c$ is at most $(0.15+o(1))(|A|+|B|)^2$ as $|A|+|B|\to\infty$. As a corollary, if $A$ is antisymmetric…

A graph G is (a:b)-colorable if there exists an assignment of b-element subsets of {1,...,a} to vertices of G such that sets assigned to adjacent vertices are disjoint. We show that every planar graph without cycles of length 4 or 5 is…

We show that the complete graph on $n$ vertices can be decomposed into $t$ cycles of specified lengths $m_1,\ldots,m_t$ if and only if $n$ is odd, $3\leq m_i\leq n$ for $i=1,\ldots,t$, and $m_1+\cdots+m_t=\binom n2$. We also show that the…

In this paper we study cycles in random bipartite graph $G(n,n,p)$. We prove that if $p\gg n^{-2/3}$, then $G(n,n,p)$ a.a.s. satisfies the following. Every subgraph $G'\subset G(n,n,p)$ with more than $(1+o(1))n^2p/2$ edges contains a cycle…

Let $D=(V,A)$ be a directed graph of order $n\geq 6$. Let $W$ be a subset of $V$ with $|W|\geq 6$. Suppose that every vertex of $W$ has degree at least $(3n-3)/2$ in $D$. Then for any integer partition $|W|=n_1+n_2$ with $n_1\geq 3$ and…

For two integers $n\geq 3$ and $2\leq p\leq n$, we denote $D(n,p)$ the digraph obtained from a directed $n$-cycle by changing the orientations of $p-1$ consecutive arcs. In this paper, we show that a family of $k$-regular $(k\geq 3)$…

The dicycle transversal number t(D) of a digraph D is the minimum size of a dicycle transversal of D, i. e. a set T of vertices of D such that D-T is acyclic. We study the following problem: Given a digraph D, decide if there is a dicycle B…

Let $S_{n}$ denote the set of permutations of $[n]=\{1,2,\dots, n\}$. For a positive integer $k$, define $S_{n,k}$ to be the set of all permutations of $[n]$ with exactly $k$ disjoint cycles, i.e., \[ S_{n,k} = \{\pi \in S_{n}: \pi =…

We prove that a strongly connected balanced bipartite digraph $D$ of order $2a$, $a\geq3$, satisfying $d(u)+d(v)\geq 3a$ for every pair of vertices $u,v$ with a common in-neighbour or a common out-neighbour, is either bipancyclic or a…

For an $n$-element set $X$ let $\binom{X}{k}$ be the collection of all its $k$-subsets. Two families of sets $\mathcal A$ and $\mathcal B$ are called cross-intersecting if $A\cap B \neq \emptyset$ holds for all $A\in\mathcal A$,…

A hole is a chordless cycle with at least four vertices. A hole is odd if it has an odd number of vertices. A dart is a graph which vertices $a, b, c, d, e$ and edges $ab, bc, bd, be, cd, de$. Dart-free graphs have been actively studied in…

Let $a, \ b \ (b \geq a)$ and $n \ (n \geq 2)$ be nonnegative integers and let $\mathcal{T}(a,b,n)$ be the set of such generalised tournaments, in which every pair of distinct players is connected at most with $b$, and at least with $a$…

For each odd $m \geq 3$ we completely solve the problem of when an $m$-cycle system of order $u$ can be embedded in an $m$-cycle system of order $v$, barring a finite number of possible exceptions. In cases where $u$ is large compared to…

We prove that for any given $\varepsilon>0$ and $d\in [0,1]$, every sufficiently large $(\varepsilon, d)$-dense graph $G$ contains for each odd integer $r$ at least $(d^r-\varepsilon)|V(G)|^r$ cycles of length $r$. Here, $G$ being…

Let $k$ be a positive integer. Let $G$ be a balanced bipartite graph of order $2n$ with bipartition $(X, Y)$, and $S$ a subset of $X$. Suppose that every pair of nonadjacent vertices $(x,y)$ with $x\in S, y\in Y$ satisfies $d(x)+d(y)\geq…
