  • Two Poset Polytopes

    Two Poset Polytopes

    Discrete Comput Geom 1:9-23 (1986) G eometrv)i.~.reh, ~ ( :*mllmlati~ml © l~fi $1~ter-Vtrlq New Yorklu¢. t¢ Two Poset Polytopes Richard P. Stanley* Department of Mathematics, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA 02139 Abstract. Two convex polytopes, called the order polytope d)(P) and chain polytope <~(P), are associated with a finite poset P. There is a close interplay between the combinatorial structure of P and the geometric structure of E~(P). For instance, the order polynomial fl(P, m) of P and Ehrhart poly- nomial i(~9(P),m) of O(P) are related by f~(P,m+l)=i(d)(P),m). A "transfer map" then allows us to transfer properties of O(P) to W(P). In particular, we transfer known inequalities involving linear extensions of P to some new inequalities. I. The Order Polytope Our aim is to investigate two convex polytopes associated with a finite partially ordered set (poset) P. The first of these, which we call the "order polytope" and denote by O(P), has been the subject of considerable scrutiny, both explicit and implicit, Much of what we say about the order polytope will be essentially a review of well-known results, albeit ones scattered throughout the literature, sometimes in a rather obscure form. The second polytope, called the "chain polytope" and denoted if(P), seems never to have been previously considered per se. It is a special case of the vertex-packing polytope of a graph (see Section 2) but has many special properties not in general valid or meaningful for graphs.
  • The AVD-Edge-Coloring Conjecture for Some Split Graphs

    The AVD-Edge-Coloring Conjecture for Some Split Graphs

    Matem´atica Contempor^anea, Vol. 44,1{10 c 2015, Sociedade Brasileira de Matem´atica The AVD-edge-coloring conjecture for some split graphs Alo´ısiode Menezes Vilas-B^oas C´eliaPicinin de Mello Abstract Let G be a simple graph. An adjacent vertex distinguishing edge- coloring (AVD-edge-coloring) of G is an edge-coloring of G such that for each pair of adjacent vertices u; v of G, the set of colors assigned to the edges incident with u differs from the set of colors assigned to the edges incident with v. The adjacent vertex distinguishing 0 chromatic index of G, denoted χa(G), is the minimum number of colors required to produce an AVD-edge-coloring for G. The AVD- edge-coloring conjecture states that every simple connected graph G ∼ 0 with at least three vertices and G =6 C5 has χa(G) ≤ ∆(G) + 2. The conjecture is open for arbitrary graphs, but it holds for some classes of graphs. In this note we focus on split graphs. We prove this AVD-edge- coloring conjecture for split-complete graphs and split-indifference graphs. 1 Introduction In this paper, G denotes a simple, undirected, finite, connected graph.

  • Graph Operations and Upper Bounds on Graph Homomorphism Counts

    Graph Operations and Upper Bounds on Graph Homomorphism Counts

    Graph Operations and Upper Bounds on Graph Homomorphism Counts Luke Sernau March 9, 2017 Abstract We construct a family of countexamples to a conjecture of Galvin [5], which stated that for any n-vertex, d-regular graph G and any graph H (possibly with loops), n n d d hom(G, H) ≤ max hom(Kd,d,H) 2 , hom(Kd+1,H) +1 , n o where hom(G, H) is the number of homomorphisms from G to H. By exploiting properties of the graph tensor product and graph exponentiation, we also find new infinite families of H for which the bound stated above on hom(G, H) holds for all n-vertex, d-regular G. In particular we show that if HWR is the complete looped path on three vertices, also known as the Widom-Rowlinson graph, then n d hom(G, HWR) ≤ hom(Kd+1,HWR) +1 for all n-vertex, d-regular G. This verifies a conjecture of Galvin. arXiv:1510.01833v3 [math.CO] 8 Mar 2017 1 Introduction Graph homomorphisms are an important concept in many areas of graph theory. A graph homomorphism is simply an adjacency-preserving map be- tween a graph G and a graph H. That is, for given graphs G and H, a function φ : V (G) → V (H) is said to be a homomorphism from G to H if for every edge uv ∈ E(G), we have φ(u)φ(v) ∈ E(H) (Here, as throughout, all graphs are simple, meaning without multi-edges, but they are permitted 1 to have loops).

    MINUSCULE DOPPELGANGERS,¨ THE COINCIDENTAL DOWN-DEGREE EXPECTATIONS PROPERTY, AND ROWMOTION SAM HOPKINS Abstract. We relate Reiner, Tenner, and Yong’s coincidental down-degree expec- tations (CDE) property of posets to the minuscule doppelg¨anger pairs studied by Hamaker, Patrias, Pechenik, and Williams. Via this relation, we put forward a series of conjectures which suggest that the minuscule doppelg¨anger pairs behave “as if” they had isomorphic comparability graphs, even though they do not. We further explore the idea of minuscule doppelg¨anger pairs pretending to have isomor- phic comparability graphs by considering the rowmotion operator on order ideals. We conjecture that the members of a minuscule doppelg¨anger pair behave the same way under rowmotion, as they would if they had isomorphic comparability graphs. Moreover, we conjecture that these pairs continue to behave the same way under the piecewise-linear and birational liftings of rowmotion introduced by Einstein and Propp. This conjecture motivates us to study the homomesies (in the sense of Propp and Roby) exhibited by birational rowmotion. We establish the birational analog of the antichain cardinality homomesy for the major examples of posets known or conjectured to have finite birational rowmotion order (namely: minuscule posets and root posets of coincidental type). 1. Introduction Let P be a finite poset. The down-degree of p ∈ P is the number of elements of P which p covers. Consider two probability distributions on P : the uniform distribution; and the distribution where p ∈ P occurs proportional to the number of maximal chains of P containing p. We say that P has the coincidental down-degree expectations (CDE) property if the expected value of the down-degree statistic is the same for these two distributions.
  • Restricted Colorings of Graphs

    Restricted Colorings of Graphs

    Restricted colorings of graphs Noga Alon ∗ Department of Mathematics Raymond and Beverly Sackler Faculty of Exact Sciences Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel and Bellcore, Morristown, NJ 07960, USA Abstract The problem of properly coloring the vertices (or edges) of a graph using for each vertex (or edge) a color from a prescribed list of permissible colors, received a considerable amount of attention. Here we describe the techniques applied in the study of this subject, which combine combinatorial, algebraic and probabilistic methods, and discuss several intriguing conjectures and open problems. This is mainly a survey of recent and less recent results in the area, but it contains several new results as well. ∗Research supported in part by a United States Israel BSF Grant. Appeared in "Surveys in Combinatorics", Proc. 14th British Combinatorial Conference, London Mathematical Society Lecture Notes Series 187, edited by K. Walker, Cambridge University Press, 1993, 1-33. 0 1 Introduction Graph coloring is arguably the most popular subject in graph theory. An interesting variant of the classical problem of coloring properly the vertices of a graph with the minimum possible number of colors arises when one imposes some restrictions on the colors available for every vertex. This variant received a considerable amount of attention that led to several fascinating conjectures and results, and its study combines interesting combinatorial techniques with powerful algebraic and probabilistic ideas. The subject, initiated independently by Vizing [51] and by Erd}os,Rubin and Taylor [24], is usually known as the study of the choosability properties of a graph. In the present paper we survey some of the known recent and less recent results in this topic, focusing on the techniques involved and mentioning some of the related intriguing open problems.

    An Upper Bound for Cubicity in Terms of Boxicity

    An upper bound for Cubicity in terms of Boxicity L. Sunil Chandran ∗ K. Ashik Mathew † Abstract An axis-parallel b-dimensional box is a Cartesian product R1 × R2 × ... × Rb where each Ri (for 1 ≤ i ≤ b) is a closed interval of the form [ai,bi] on the real line. The boxicity of any graph G, box(G) is the minimum positive integer b such that G can be represented as the intersection graph of axis parallel b-dimensional boxes. A b-dimensional cube is a Cartesian product R1 × R2 × ... × Rb, where each Ri (for 1 ≤ i ≤ b) is a closed interval of the form [ai,ai+1] on the real line. When the boxes are restricted to be axis-parallel cubes in b-dimension, the minimum dimension b required to represent the graph is called the cubicity of the graph (denoted by cub(G)). In this paper we prove that cub(G) ≤⌈log n⌉box(G) where n is the number of vertices in the graph. We also show that this upper bound is tight. Keywords: Cubicity, Boxicity, Interval graph, Indifference graph 1 Introduction Let F = {Sx ⊆ U : x ∈ V } be a family of subsets of U, where V is an index set. The intersec- tion graph Ω(F) of F has V as vertex set, and two distinct vertices x and y are adjacent if and only if Sx ∩ Sy 6= ∅. Representations of graphs as the intersection graphs of various geometric objects is a well-studied area in graph theory. A prime example of a graph class defined in this way is the class of interval graphs.

We prove that in every case this set contains all the integers between 3 and some t, where t depends on the order of the graph and the degrees of vertices. c 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

For a graph G we denote by V = V (G) its vertex set, by E = E(G) its set of edges. By Cp we mean a p-cycle of G, i.e., a cycle of length p. The vertices of a graph G of order n will be denoted by integers 0; 1; 2;:::;n− 1 and considered modulo n.We write EG(k)=E(k) for the set of edges that are incident to a vertex k. For a subgraph H of G and a vertex k of G; dH (k) denotes the number of all edges (k; j)ofE(k) with j ∈ V (H), i.e., if k ∈ V (H) then dH (k) is the degree of k in the subgraph of G induced by the set V (H).
