Switching Graph

We define two types of switchings between one-factorisations of complete graphs, called factor-switching and vertex-switching. For each switching operation and for each $n\le 12$, we build a switching graph that records the transformations between isomorphism classes of one-factorisations of $K_{n}$.  We establish various parameters of our switching graphs, including order, size, degree sequence, clique number and the radius of each component.As well as computing data for $n\le12$, we demonstrate several properties that hold for one-factorisations of $K_{n}$ for general $n$. We show that such factorisations have a parity which is not changed by factor-switching, and this leads to disconnected switching graphs. We also characterise the isolated vertices that arise from an absence of switchings. For factor-switching the isolated vertices are perfect one-factorisations, while for vertex-switching the isolated vertices are closely related to atomic Latin squares.

We prove that the list-chromatic index and paintability index of $K_{p+1}$ is $p$, for all odd primes $p$. This implies that the List Edge Coloring Conjecture holds for complete graphs with less then 10 vertices. It also shows that there are arbitrarily big complete graphs for which the conjecture holds, even among the complete graphs of class 1. Our proof combines the Quantitative Combinatorial Nullstellensatz with the Paintability Nullstellensatz and a group action on symmetric Latin squares. It displays various ways of using different Nullstellensätze. We also obtain a partial proof of a version of Alon and Tarsi's Conjecture about even and odd Latin squares.

Asymptotically Optimal

A team of $n$ players plays the following game. After a strategy session, each player is randomly fitted with a blue or red hat. Then, without further communication, everybody can try to guess simultaneously his own hat color by looking at the hat colors of the other players. Visibility is defined by a directed graph; that is, vertices correspond to players, and a player can see each player to whom he is connected by an arc. The team wins if at least one player guesses his hat color correctly, and no one guesses his hat color wrong; otherwise the team loses. The team aims to maximize the probability of a win, and this maximum is called the hat number of the graph.Previous works focused on the hat problem on complete graphs and on undirected graphs. Some cases were solved, e.g., complete graphs of certain orders, trees, cycles, and bipartite graphs. These led Uriel Feige to conjecture that the hat number of any graph is equal to the hat number of its maximum clique.We show that the conjecture does not hold for directed graphs. Moreover, for every value of the maximum clique size, we provide a tight characterization of the range of possible values of the hat number. We construct families of directed graphs with a fixed clique number the hat number of which is asymptotically optimal. We also determine the hat number of tournaments to be one half.

In this paper, by establishing a new graph ?(G) over the semi-direct product of groups, we will first state and prove some graph-theoretical properties, namely, diameter, maximum and minimum degrees, girth, degree sequence, domination number, chromatic number, clique number of ?(G). In the final section we will show that ?(G) is actually a perfect graph.

<p>In a search for triangle-free graphs with arbitrarily large chromatic numbers, Mycielski developed a graph transformation that transforms a graph <span class="math"><em>G</em></span> into a new graph <span class="math"><em>μ</em>(<em>G</em>)</span>, we now call the Mycielskian of <span class="math"><em>G</em></span>, which has the same clique number as <span class="math"><em>G</em></span> and whose chromatic number equals <span class="math"><em>χ</em>(<em>G</em>) + 1</span>. In this paper, we find the star chromatic number for the Mycielskian graph of complete graphs, paths, cycles and complete bipartite graphs.</p>

Position Problem

Abstract The general position number gp(G) of a connected graph G is the cardinality of a largest set S of vertices such that no three pairwise distinct vertices from S lie on a common geodesic. It is proved that gp(G) ≥ ω(GSR), where GSR is the strong resolving graph of G, and ω(GSR) is its clique number. That the bound is sharp is demonstrated with numerous constructions including for instance direct products of complete graphs and different families of strong products, of generalized lexicographic products, and of rooted product graphs. For the strong product it is proved that gp(G ⊠ H) ≥ gp(G)gp(H), and asked whether the equality holds for arbitrary connected graphs G and H. It is proved that the answer is in particular positive for strong products with a complete factor, for strong products of complete bipartite graphs, and for certain strong cylinders.

Partial Latin Squares

With the particular interest of being implemented in cryptography, the recognition and analysis of image patterns based on Latin squares has recently arisen as an efficient new approach for classifying partial Latin squares into isomorphism classes. This paper shows how the use of a Computer Algebra System (CAS) becomes necessary to delve into this aspect. Thus, the recognition and analysis of image patterns based on these combinatorial structures benefits from the use of computational algebraic geometry to determine whether two given partial Latin squares describe the same affine algebraic set. This paper delves into this topic by focusing on the use of a CAS to characterize when two partial Latin squares are either partial transpose or partial isotopic.
