In this paper we consider the separability problem for bipartite quantum states arising from graphs. Earlier it was proved that the degree criterion is the graph-theoretic counterpart of the familiar positive partial transpose criterion for…

In matching theory, one of the most fundamental and classical branches of combinatorics, {\em canonical decompositions} of graphs are powerful and versatile tools that form the basis of this theory. However, the abilities of the known…

Let $k\geq\ell\geq1$ and $n\geq 1$ be integers. Let $G(k,n)$ be the complete $k$-partite graph with $n$ vertices in each colour class. An $\ell$-decomposition of $G(k,n)$ is a set $X$ of copies of $K_k$ in $G(k,n)$ such that each copy of…

In this paper, we introduce a corresponding between bipartite graphs with a perfect matching and digraphs, which implicates an equivalent relation between the extendibility of bipartite graphs and the strongly connectivity of digraphs. Such…

We generalize the natural duality of graphs embedded into a surface to a duality with respect to a subset of edges. The dual graph might be embedded into a different surface. We prove a relation between the signed Bollobas-Riordan…

We show that if the two parts of a finite bipartite graph have the same degree sequence, then there is a bipartite graph, with the same degree sequences, which is symmetric, in that it has an involutive graph automorphism that interchanges…

In this paper, we study oriented bipartite graphs. In particular, we introduce "bitransitive" graphs. Several characterizations of bitransitive bitournaments are obtained. We show that bitransitive bitounaments are equivalent to acyclic…

We describe an infinite family of edge-decompositions of complete graphs into two graphs, each of which triangulate the same orientable surface. Previously, such decompositions had only been known for only a few complete graphs. These…

For any bipartite quantum system the Schmidt decomposition allows us to express the state vector in terms of a single sum instead of double sums. We show the existence of the Schmidt decomposition for tripartite system under certain…

We compute a minimum degree threshold sufficient for 3-partite graphs to admit a fractional triangle decomposition. Together with recent work of Barber, K\"uhn, Lo, Osthus and Taylor, this leads to bounds for exact decompositions and in…

We unify and extend previous bijections on plane quadrangulations to bipartite and quasibipartite plane maps. Starting from a bipartite plane map with a distinguished edge and two distinguished corners (in the same face or in two different…

Let $\Gamma$ denote a $Q$-polynomial distance-regular graph with diameter $D \geq 3$ and standard module $V$. Recently Ito and Terwilliger introduced four direct sum decompositions of $V$; we call these the $(\mu,\nu)$--{\it split…

Intuitively speaking, a bipartite graph is mirror if it can be drawn in the Cartesian plane in such a way that, the vertices of one stable are points in x=0, the vertices of the other stable set are points in x=1, the edges are straight…

Motivated by the classical type decomposition of von Neumann algebras, and various more recent extensions to other structures, we develop a type decomposition theory for general posets.

Associated to a simple undirected graph $G$ is a simplicial complex $\Delta_G$ whose faces correspond to the independent sets of $G$. A graph $G$ is called vertex decomposable if $\Delta_G$ is a vertex decomposable simplicial complex. We…

Let $G$ be a finite group. We consider the set of the irreducible complex characters of $G$, namely $Irr(G)$, and the related degree set $cd(G)=\{\chi(1) : \chi\in Irr(G)\}$. Let $\rho(G)$ be the set of all primes which divide some…

We provide analytical lower and upper bounds for entanglement of formation for bipartite systems, which give a direct relation between the bounds of entanglement of formation and concurrence, and improve the previous results. Detailed…

We develop a bipartite rigidity theory for bipartite graphs parallel to the classical rigidity theory for general graphs, and define for two positive integers $k,l$ the notions of $(k,l)$-rigid and $(k,l)$-stress free bipartite graphs. This…

For a graph $G = (V, E)$, the $\gamma$-graph of $G$ is the graph whose vertex set is the collection of minimum dominating sets, or $\gamma$-sets of $G$, and two $\gamma$-sets are adjacent if they differ by a single vertex and the two…

This paper gives a systematic construction of certain covers of finite semigroups. These covers will be used in future work on the complexity of finite semigroups.
