  • Remembering Frank Harary
    Discrete Mathematics Letters Discrete Math. Lett. 6 (2021) 1–7 www.dmlett.com DOI: 10.47443/dml.2021.s101 Editorial Remembering Frank Harary On March 11, 2005, at a special session of the 36th Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph The- ory, and Computing held at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, the famous mathematician Ralph Stanton, known for his work in combinatorics and founder of the Institute of Combinatorics and Its Applications, stated that the three mathematicians who had the greatest impact on modern graph theory have now all passed away. Stanton was referring to Frenchman Claude Berge of France, Canadian William Tutte, originally from England, and a third mathematician, an American, who had died only 66 days earlier and to whom this special session was being dedicated. Indeed, that day, March 11, 2005, would have been his 84th birthday. This third mathematician was Frank Harary. Let’s see what led Harary to be so recognized by Stanton. Frank Harary was born in New York City on March 11, 1921. He was the oldest child of Jewish immigrants from Syria and Russia. He earned a B.A. degree from Brooklyn College in 1941, spent a graduate year at Princeton University from 1943 to 1944 in theoretical physics, earned an M.A. degree from Brooklyn College in 1945, spent a year at New York University from 1945 to 1946 in applied mathematics, and then moved to the University of California at Berkeley, where he wrote his Ph.D. Thesis on The Structure of Boolean-like Rings, in 1949, under Alfred Foster.

  • Decompositions and Graceful Labelings (Supplemental Material for Intro to Graph Theory)
    Decompositions and Graceful Labelings (Supplemental Material for Intro to Graph Theory) Robert A. Beeler∗ December 17, 2015 1 Introduction A graph decomposition is a particular problem in the field of combinatorial designs (see Wallis [22] for more information on design theory). A graph decomposition of a graph H is a partition of the edge set of H. In this case, the graph H is called the host for the decomposition. Most graph decomposition problems are concerned with the case where every part of the partition is isomorphic to a single graph G. In this case, we refer to the graph G as the prototype for the decomposition. Further, we refer to the parts of the partition as blocks. As an example, consider the host graph Q3 as shown in Figure 1. In this case, we want to find a decomposition of Q3 into isomorphic copies of the path on three vertices, P3. We label the vertices of P3 as an ordered triple (a, b, c). where ab and bc are the edges of P3. The required blocks in the decompositions are (0, 2, 4), (1, 0, 6), (1, 3, 2), (1, 7, 5), (3, 5, 4), and (4, 6, 7). Usually, the goal of a combinatorial design is to determine whether the particular design is possible. The same is true for graph decompositions. Namely, given a host graph H and a prototype G, determine whether there exist a decomposition of H into isomorphic copies of G. Often, this is a difficult problem. In fact, there are entire books written on the subject (for ∗Department of Mathematics and Statistics, East Tennessee State University, Johnson City, TN 37614-1700 USA email: [email protected] 1 2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Figure 1: A P3-decomposition of a Q3 example, see Bos´ak [1] and Diestel [5]).

  • Cycle Double Covers and Spanning Minors II
    Cycle Double Covers and Spanning Minors II Roland H¨aggkvist and Klas Markstr¨om Abstract. In this paper we continue our investigations from [HM01] regarding spanning subgraphs which imply the existence of cycle doub- le covers. We prove that if a cubic graph G has a spanning subgraph isomorphic to a subdivision of a bridgeless cubic graph on at most 10 vertices then G has a CDC. A notable result is thus that a cubic graph with a spanning Petersen minor has a CDC, a result also obtained by Goddyn [God88]. 1. Introduction A cycle (or circuit) double cover, or CDC for short, of a graph G is a collection of cycles in G, not necessarily distinct, such that any edge in G belongs to exactly two of the cycles. Here we use the currently standard graph theoretical definition of a cycle, a connected 2-regular graph, although in this subject it is often the case that the word cycle is used for a spanning subgraph with all vertex degrees even — by default we also use the word graph for simple graph. The outstanding problem in the theory of cycle double covers, and by now one of the classic unsolved problems in graph theory, is the following Conjecture 1.1. Every 2-edge-connected graph has a cycle double cover. This conjecture has become known as the cycle double cover conjecture (CDCC) and is generally attributed to Seymour [Sey79] and Szekeres [Sze73]. The subject of graph embeddings is of course much older, and, as pointed out by Seymour, some forms of the conjecture may also have been present in earlier work by Tutte for instance.

  • Aviezri Fraenkel and Combinatorial Games
    Aviezri Fraenkel and Combinatorial Games Richard K. Guy Calgary, Canada The subject of combinatorial games has, like combinatorics itself, been slow to find recognition with the mathematical establishment. Combinatorics is now on sure ground, and combinatorial games is well on its way. This is in no small part due to the energy, enthusiasm and insight of Aviezri Fraenkel, who has linked combinatorial games with much else in mathematics | graph theory [24], error-correcting codes [22], numeration systems [25, 28], continued fractions [17] and especially complexity theory. The great variety in the difficulty of the vast range of combinatorial games has en- abled him to exhibit the whole spectrum of complexity theory [18, 27, 55], He has also ascertained the status of many particular combinatorial games [34], diophantine games [60], the Grundy function [14], chess [40], and checkers [33]. His interest in games may well have been sparked by a classic paper of Coxeter [6]: certainly he has long been fascinated by the relation between Beatty sequences, i.e. com- plementing sequences of integers, on the one hand, and Wythoff's Game [9, 39, 11, 1, 8] on the other. Wythoff's Game is played with two heaps from which players alternately take any number from one heap or equal numbers from each; several of Aviezri's papers have been concerned with generalizations of this game [3, 7, 15, 17, 32, 45, 61]. He has written on a variety of individual games, many of which are his own invention: Nimbi [36], Nimhoff games [43], and Nim itself [4]; Geography [50], Epidemiography [41, 42, 44], geodetic contraction games [35], Particles and Antiparticles [12], a deletion game [48], a new heap game [58], modular Nim (sometimes called Kotzig's Nim) [37], Multivision [26], partizan octal and subtraction games [38] and extensions of Conway's `short games' [52].

  • Appendix a Graph Theory Background
    Appendix A Graph Theory Background A graph G = (V; E) consists of two finite sets V and E. The elements of V are called the vertices and the elements of E the edges of G. Each edge is a pair of vertices. Graphs have natural graphical representations in which each vertex is rep- resented by a point and each edge by a line connecting two points. Figure A.1 represents the graph G = (V; E) with vertex set V = f1; 2; 3; 4; 5g and edge set E = f12; 23; 34; 45g. 1 2 3 4 5 Figure A.1: Graph G = (V; E) with V = f1; 2; 3; 4; 5g and E = f12; 23; 34; 45g By altering the definition, we can obtain different types of graphs. For instance, • by replacing the set E with a set of ordered pairs of vertices, we obtain a directed graph (digraph for short), also known as an oriented graph. • by allowing E to contain both directed and undirected edges, we obtain a mixed graph. • by allowing repeated elements in the set of edges, i.e., by replacing E with a multiset, we obtain a multigraph. • by allowing edges to connect a vertex to itself (a loop), we obtain a pseudo- graph. • by allowing the edges to be arbitrary subsets of vertices, not necessarily of size two, we obtain a hypergraph. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015 231 S.

  • Two Hamiltonian Cycles of L(G), As Follows
    TWO HAMILTONIAN CYCLES VAIDY SIVARAMAN AND THOMAS ZASLAVSKY Abstract. If the line graph of a graph G decomposes into Hamiltonian cycles, what is G? We answer this question for decomposition into two cycles. Prelude Two problems that are known to be NP-complete are: Is a cubic graph Hamiltonian [2]? Does a graph L decompose into two Hamiltonian cycles [8]? An example for L is the line graph of a cubic graph G: L(G) has a Hamilton decomposition if and only if G, the root graph, is Hamiltonian; this was discovered by Kotzig [4] and later Martin [6]. (We say a graph is Hamilton decomposable if its edge set partitions into Hamiltonian cycles.) The proofs are by polynomial-time constructions. Since Hamiltonicity of a cubic graph is NP-complete, it follows that Hamiltonian decomposability of a 4-regular graph remains NP-complete when restricted to line graphs of cubic graphs. An opposite question seems not to have been asked. (It was briefly considered by the second author for an undergraduate graph theory examination.) Problem 1. The line graph L(G) of a simple graph G is decomposable into two Hamiltonian cycles. What is G? We answer this question by characterizing all root graphs G. One would like to describe all Hamilton decomposable line graphs. We offer some thoughts at the end of this paper. Presto Theorem 2. The graph G of Problem 1 is either K1,5, or the first subdivision of a 4-regular graph G′ that decomposes into two Hamiltonian cycles, or a Hamiltonian cubic graph. The first subdivision SG of a graph G is obtained by subdividing every edge into a path of length 2.

  • Applications of Matching Theory in Constraint Programming
    Applications of Matching Theory in Constraint Programming Von der Fakultät für Elektrotechnik und Informatik der Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität Hannover zur Erlangung des Grades Doktor der Naturwissenschaften Dr. rer. nat. genehmigte Dissertation von Dipl.-Inform. Radosław Cymer geboren am 18.06.1970 in Łódź 2013 Referent: Heribert Vollmer, Leibniz Universität Hannover Korreferent: Ulrich Hertrampf, Universität Stuttgart Tag der Promotion: 16.12.2013 Einfachheit ist das Resultat der Reife. Simplicity is a result of maturity. Friedrich Schiller I would like to thank my supervisor, Prof. Heribert Vollmer, for his assistance in the preparation of this thesis. Our interesting discussions and his patient guidance were a great support. This thesis would not have been written if he had not exposed me to the world of constraint programming. At our first meeting he recommended that I read the book "Constraint Processing"by Rina Dechter in order to get to know constraint programming. This reading fascinated me and gave me the impetus to further research this interesting subject matter. In the course of time I have come to realize that constraint programming has a connection with graph theory and I have deeply researched this area. When I had thoroughly studied the book "Matching Theory"by László Lovász and Michael D. Plummer I perceived that there exists a very good field of research in matching theory in order to connect the results which can help to solve the global constraints. I have read many papers that described an algorithm that could only solve one specific kind of global constraint. Having seen the similarity between the constraints I figured that it is highly possible to discover a universal method to solve some of them at once.
