We present the number of dimer coverings Nd(n) on the Tower of Hanoi graph THd(n) at n stage with dimension 2 [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]d[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] 5. When the number of vertices v(n) is even, Nd(n) gives the number of close-packed dimers; when the number of vertices is odd, it is impossible to have a close-packed configurations and one of the outmost vertices is allowed to be unoccupied. We define the entropy of absorption of diatomic molecules per vertex as S[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] Nd(n)/v(n), that can be shown exactly for TH2, while its lower and upper bounds can be derived in terms of the results at a certain n for THd(n) with 3 [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]d[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] 5. We find that the difference between the lower and upper bounds converges rapidly to zero as n increases, such that the value of S[Formula: see text] with d[Formula: see text]=[Formula: see text]3 and 5 can be calculated with at least 100 correct digits.

By a formula of Farber, the topological complexity TC(X) of a (p − 1)-connected m-dimensional CW-complex X is bounded above by (2m + 1)/p + 1. We show that the same result holds for the monoidal topological complexity TCM(X). In a previous paper we introduced various lower bounds for TCM(X), such as the nilpotency of the ring H*(X × X, Δ(X)), and the weak and stable (monoidal) topological complexity wTCM(X) and σTCM(X). In general, the difference between these upper and lower bounds can be arbitrarily large. In this paper we investigate spaces with topological complexity close to the maximal value given by Farber's formula. We show that in these cases the gap between the lower and upper bounds is narrow and TC(X) often coincides with the lower bounds.

Let $G$ be a simple undirected graph. For any real number $\alpha \in[0,1]$, Nikiforov defined the $A_{\alpha}$-matrix of $G$ as $A_{\alpha}(G)=\alpha D(G)+(1-\alpha)A(G)$, where $A(G)$ and $D(G)$ are the adjacency matrix and the degree diagonal matrix of $G$, respectively. The $A_{\alpha}$-spread of a graph is defined as the difference between the largest eigenvalue and the smallest eigenvalue of the associated $A_{\alpha}$-matrix. In this paper, some lower and upper bounds on $A_{\alpha}$-spread are obtained, which extend the results of $A$-spread and $Q$-spread. Moreover, the trees with the minimum and the maximum $A_{\alpha}$-spread are determined, respectively.

Let $p_n$ denote the maximal cp-rank attained by completely positive $n\times n$ matrices. Only lower and upper bounds for $p_n$ are known, when $n\ge6$, but it is known that $p_n=\frac{n^2}2\big(1+o(1)\big)$, and the difference of the current best upper and lower bounds for $p_n$ is of order $\mathcal{O}\big(n^{3/2}\big)$. In this paper, that gap is reduced to $\mathcal{O}\big(n\log\log n\big)$. To achieve this result, a sequence of generalized ranks of a given matrix A has to be introduced. Properties of that sequence and its generating function are investigated. For suitable A, the $d$th term of that sequence is the cp-rank of some completely positive tensor of order $d$. This allows the derivation of asymptotically matching lower and upper bounds for the maximal cp-rank of completely positive tensors of order $d>2$ as well.

The author's population density index ( PDI) model is extended to three-dimensional distributions. A derived formula is presented that allows for the calculation of the lower and upper bounds of density in three-dimensional space for any finite lattice.

In this paper, the notion of energy extended to spherical fuzzy graph. The adjacency matrix of a spherical fuzzy graph is defined and we compute the energy of a spherical fuzzy graph as the sum of absolute values of eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of the spherical fuzzy graph. Also, the lower and upper bounds for the energy of spherical fuzzy graphs are obtained.

The age of information (AoI) has been widely used to quantify the information freshness in real-time status update systems. As the AoI is independent of the inherent property of the source data and the context, we introduce a mutual information-based value of information (VoI) framework for hidden Markov models. In this paper, we investigate the VoI and its relationship to the AoI for a noisy Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process. We explore the effects of correlation and noise on their relationship, and find logarithmic, exponential and linear dependencies between the two in three different regimes. This gives the formal justification for the selection of non-linear AoI functions previously reported in other works. Moreover, we study the statistical properties of the VoI in the example of a queue model, deriving its distribution functions and moments. The lower and upper bounds of the average VoI are also analysed, which can be used for the design and optimisation of freshness-aware networks. Numerical results are presented and further show that, compared with the traditional linear age and some basic non-linear age functions, the proposed VoI framework is more general and suitable for various contexts.
