Let (S, ≤) be a poset (partially ordered set), A(S) = Aut(S, ≤) its automorphism group and G ⊆ A(S) a subgroup. In the literature, various authors have studied sufficient conditions on G and the structure of (S, ≤) which imply that G is simple or perfect. Let us call (S, ≤) doubly homogeneous if each isomorphism between two 2-subsets of 5 extends to an isomorphism of (S, ≤). Higman [8] proved that if (S, ≤) is a doubly homogeneous chain then B(S), the group of all automorphisms of (S, ≤) with bounded support, is simple, and each element of B(S) is a commutator in B(S). Droste, Holland and Macpherson [5] showed that if (S, ≤) is a doubly homogeneous tree then its automorphism group again contains a unique simple normal subgroup in which each element is a commutator. Dlab [3] established similar results for various groups of locally linear automorphisms of the reals. Further results in this direction are contained in Glass [7]. It is the aim of this note to establish a common generalization and sharpening of the previously mentioned results.

We give sufficient conditions for a graph to be traceable and Hamiltonian in terms of the Wiener index and the complement of the graph, which correct and extend the result of Yang [‘Wiener index and traceable graphs’, Bull. Aust. Math. Soc.88 (2013), 380–383]. We also present sufficient conditions for a bipartite graph to be traceable and Hamiltonian in terms of its Wiener index and quasicomplement. Finally, we give sufficient conditions for a graph or a bipartite graph to be traceable and Hamiltonian in terms of its distance spectral radius.

In this chapter, the concepts of Hamiltonian paths and Hamiltonian cycles are discussed. In the first section, the history of Hamiltonian graphs is described, and then some concepts such as Hamiltonian paths, Hamiltonian cycles, traceable graphs, and Hamiltonian graphs are defined. Also some most known Hamiltonian graph problems such as travelling salesman problem (TSP), Kirkman’s cell of a bee, Icosian game, and knight’s tour problem are presented. In addition, necessary and (or) sufficient conditions for existence of a Hamiltonian cycle are investigated. Furthermore, in order to solve Hamiltonian cycle problems, some algorithms are introduced in the last section.

We investigate the probabilistic evolution of a near-critical bisexual branching process with mating depending on the number of couples in the population. We determine sufficient conditions which guarantee either the almost sure extinction of such a process or its survival with positive probability. We also establish some limiting results concerning the sequences of couples, females, and males, suitably normalized. In particular, gamma, normal, and degenerate distributions are proved to be limit laws. The results also hold for bisexual Bienaymé–Galton–Watson processes, and can be adapted to other classes of near-critical bisexual branching processes.

The Laplace transform of the extinction time is determined for a general birth and death process with arbitrary catastrophe rate and catastrophe size distribution. It is assumed only that the birth rates satisfyλ0= 0,λj> 0 for eachj> 0, and. Necessary and sufficient conditions for certain extinction of the population are derived. The results are applied to the linear birth and death process (λj=jλ, µj=jμ) with catastrophes of several different types.
