Let p ( G ) denote the number of pairs of adjacent edges in a graph G . Ahlswede and Katona considered the problem of maximizing p ( G ) over all simple graphs with a given number n of vertices and a given number N of edges. They showed that p ( G ) is either maximized by a quasi-complete graph or by a quasi-star. They also studied the range of N (depending on n ) for which the quasi-complete graph is superior to the quasi-star (and vice versa) and formulated two questions on distributions in this context. This paper is devoted to the solution of these problems.

In this paper we show that the list chromatic index of the complete graph Kn is at most n. This proves the list-chromatic conjecture for complete graphs of odd order. We also prove the asymptotic result that for a simple graph with maximum degree d the list chromatic index exceeds d by at most [Oscr ](d2/3√log d).

This paper presents an adaptation of the Moran birth–death model of evolutionary processes on graphs. The present model makes use of the full population state space consisting of 2 N binary-valued vectors, and a Markov process on this space with a transition matrix defined by the edge weight matrix for any given graph. While the general case involves solution of 2 N – 2 linear equations, symmetry considerations substantially reduce this for graphs with large automorphism groups, and a number of simple examples are considered. A parameter called graph determinacy is introduced, measuring the extent to which the fate of any randomly chosen population state is determined. Some simple graphs that suppress or enhance selection are analysed, and comparison of several examples to the Moran process on a complete graph indicates that in some cases a graph may enhance selection relative to a complete graph for only limited values of the fitness parameter.

The generalized distance matrix D α ( G ) of a connected graph G is defined as D α ( G ) = α T r ( G ) + ( 1 − α ) D ( G ) , where 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 , D ( G ) is the distance matrix and T r ( G ) is the diagonal matrix of the node transmissions. In this paper, we extend the concept of energy to the generalized distance matrix and define the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) . Some new upper and lower bounds for the generalized distance energy E D α ( G ) of G are established based on parameters including the Wiener index W ( G ) and the transmission degrees. Extremal graphs attaining these bounds are identified. It is found that the complete graph has the minimum generalized distance energy among all connected graphs, while the minimum is attained by the star graph among trees of order n.

The signless Laplacian reciprocal distance matrix for a simple connected graph G is defined as RQ(G)=diag(RH(G))+RD(G). Here, RD(G) is the Harary matrix (also called reciprocal distance matrix) while diag(RH(G)) represents the diagonal matrix of the total reciprocal distance vertices. In the present work, some upper and lower bounds for the second-largest eigenvalue of the signless Laplacian reciprocal distance matrix of graphs in terms of various graph parameters are investigated. Besides, all graphs attaining these new bounds are characterized. Additionally, it is inferred that among all connected graphs with n vertices, the complete graph Kn and the graph Kn−e obtained from Kn by deleting an edge e have the maximum second-largest signless Laplacian reciprocal distance eigenvalue.

Abstract We prove Turán-type theorems for two related Ramsey problems raised by Bollobás and by Fox and Sudakov. First, for t ≥ 3, we show that any two-colouring of the complete graph on n vertices that is δ-far from being monochromatic contains an unavoidable t-colouring when δ ≫ n−1/t, where an unavoidable t-colouring is any two-colouring of a clique of order 2t in which one colour forms either a clique of order t or two disjoint cliques of order t. Next, for t ≥ 3, we show that any tournament on n vertices that is δ-far from being transitive contains an unavoidable t-tournament when δ ≫ n−1/[t/2], where an unavoidable t-tournament is the blow-up of a cyclic triangle obtained by replacing each vertex of the triangle by a transitive tournament of order t. Conditional on a well-known conjecture about bipartite Turán numbers, both our results are sharp up to implied constants and hence determine the order of magnitude of the corresponding off-diagonal Ramsey numbers.

Simplified design criteria are provided for two-handed, manual lifting by standing men and women, without selective assignment of personnel to specific material handling tasks. Based on a 1981 NIOSH report, application of these criteria requires no knowledge of human anatomy, anthropometry, biomechanics, psychophysics, muscle fatigue, cardiovascular capacity, or metabolic endurance. A person who can read and use simple graphs can quickly determine the maximum weight of a lifted object. The information needed is the horizontal grasp distance and the initial grasp height and lift distance of the object, plus the frequency and duration of lifting.
