In this paper, we consider the Turán problems on $\{1,3\}$-hypergraphs.  We prove that a $\{1, 3\}$-hypergraph is degenerate if and only if it's $H^{\{1, 3\}}_5$-colorable, where  $H^{\{1, 3\}}_5$ is a hypergraph with vertex set  $V=[5]$ and edge set $E=\{\{2\}, \{3\}, \{1, 2, 4\},\{1, 3, 5\}, \{1, 4, 5\}\}.$ Using this result, we further prove that for any finite set $R$ of distinct positive integers, except the case $R=\{1, 2\}$,  there always exist non-trivial degenerate $R$-graphs. We also compute the Turán densities of some small $\{1,3\}$-hypergraphs.

Given positive integers $n,k,t$, with $2 \le k\le n$, and $t < 2^k$, let $m(n,k,t)$ be the minimum size of a family ${\cal F}$ of nonempty subsets of $[n]$ such that every $k$-set in $[n]$ contains at least $t$ sets from ${\cal F}$, and every $(k-1)$-set in $[n]$ contains at most $t-1$ sets from ${\cal F}$. Sloan et al. determined $m(n, 3, 2)$ and Füredi et al. studied $m(n, 4, t)$ for $t=2, 3$. We consider $m(n, 3, t)$ and $m(n, 4, t)$ for all the remaining values of $t$ and obtain their exact values except for $k=4$ and $t= 6, 7, 11, 12$. For example, we prove that $ m(n, 4, 5) = {n \choose 2}-17$ for $n\ge 160$. The values of $m(n, 4, t)$ for $t=7,11,12$ are determined in terms of well-known (and open) Turán problems for graphs and hypergraphs. We also obtain bounds of $m(n, 4, 6)$ that differ by absolute constants.

Let $G^{(\infty)}$ be an infinite graph with the vertex set corresponding to the set of positive integers ${\Bbb N}$. Denote by $G^{(l)}$ a subgraph of $G^{(\infty)}$ which is spanned by the vertices $\{1,\dots,l\}$. As a possible extension of Turán's theorem to infinite graphs, in this paper we will examine how large $\liminf_{l\rightarrow \infty} {|E(G^{(l)})|\over l^2}$ can be for an infinite graph $G^{(\infty)}$, which does not contain an increasing path $I_k$ with $k+1$ vertices. We will show that for sufficiently large $k$ there are $I_k$–free infinite graphs with ${1\over 4}+{1\over 200} < \liminf_{l\rightarrow \infty} {|E(G^{(l)})|\over l^2}$. This disproves a conjecture of J. Czipszer, P. Erdős and A. Hajnal. On the other hand, we will show that $\liminf_{l\rightarrow \infty} {|E(G^{(l)})|\over l^2}\le{1\over 3}$ for any $k$ and such $G^{(\infty)}$.

AbstractWe study positive integers $n$ such that $n\phi (n)\equiv 2\hspace{0.167em} {\rm mod}\hspace{0.167em} \sigma (n)$, where $\phi (n)$ and $\sigma (n)$ are the Euler function and the sum of divisors function of the positive integer $n$, respectively. We give a general ineffective result showing that there are only finitely many such $n$ whose prime factors belong to a fixed finite set. When this finite set consists only of the two primes $2$ and $3$ we use continued fractions to find all such positive integers $n$.

International audience Fix positive integers k and l. Consider a random k-partite graph on n vertices obtained by partitioning the vertex set into V_i, (i=1, \ldots,k) each having size Ω (n) and choosing each possible edge with probability p. Consider any vertex x in any V_i and any vertex y. We show that the expected number of simple paths of even length l between x and y differ significantly depending on whether y belongs to the same V_i (as x does) or not. A similar phenomenon occurs when l is odd. This result holds even when k,l vary slowly with n. This fact has implications to coloring random graphs. The proof is based on establishing bijections between sets of paths.

A large number of generating functions for permutation statistics can be obtained by applying homomorphisms to simple symmetric function identities. In particular, a large number of generating functions involving the number of descents of a permutation $\sigma$, $des(\sigma)$, arise in this way. For any given finite set $S$ of positive integers, we develop a method to produce similar generating functions for the set of permutations of the symmetric group $S_n$ whose descent set contains $S$. Our method will be to apply certain homomorphisms to symmetric function identities involving ribbon Schur functions.

A labeling of a graph is a mapping that maps some set of graph elements to a set of numbers (usually positive integers).  For a simple graph G = (V, E) with vertex set V and edge set E, a labeling  Φ: V ∪ E → {1, 2, ..., k} is called total k-labeling. The associated vertex weight of a vertex x∈ V under a total k-labeling  Φ is defined as wt(x) = Φ(x) + ∑y∈N(x) Φ(xy) where N(x) is the set of neighbors of the vertex x. A total k-labeling is defined to be a vertex irregular total labeling of a graph, if for every two different vertices x and y of G, wt(x)≠wt(y). The minimum k for which  a graph G has a vertex irregular total k-labeling is called the total vertex irregularity strength of G, tvs(G). In this paper, total vertex irregularity strength of interval graphs is studied. In particular, an efficient algorithm is designed to compute tvs of proper interval graphs and bounds of tvs is presented for interval graphs.

Ramsey Theory investigates the existence of large monochromatic substructures. Unlike the most classical case of monochromatic complete subgraphs, the maximum guaranteed length of a monochromatic path in a two-edge-colored complete graph is well-understood. Gerencsér and Gyárfás in 1967 showed that any two-edge-coloring of a complete graph Kn contains a monochromatic path with ⌊2n/3⌋+1 vertices. The following two-edge-coloring shows that this is the best possible: partition the vertices of Kn into two sets A and B such that |A|=⌊n/3⌋ and |B|=⌈2n/3⌉, and color the edges between A and B red and edges inside each of the sets blue. The longest red path has 2|A|+1 vertices and the longest blue path has |B| vertices. The main result of this paper concerns the corresponding problem for countably infinite graphs. To measure the size of a monochromatic subgraph, we associate the vertices with positive integers and consider the lower and the upper density of the vertex set of a monochromatic subgraph. The upper density of a subset A of positive integers is the limit superior of |A∩{1,...,}|/n, and the lower density is the limit inferior. The following example shows that there need not exist a monochromatic path with positive upper density such that its vertices form an increasing sequence: an edge joining vertices i and j is colored red if ⌊log2i⌋≠⌊log2j⌋, and blue otherwise. In particular, the coloring yields blue cliques with 1, 2, 4, 8, etc., vertices mutually joined by red edges. Likewise, there are constructions of two-edge-colorings such that the lower density of every monochromatic path is zero. A result of Rado from the 1970's asserts that the vertices of any k-edge-colored countably infinite complete graph can be covered by k monochromatic paths. For a two-edge-colored complete graph on the positive integers, this implies the existence of a monochromatic path with upper density at least 1/2. In 1993, Erdős and Galvin raised the problem of determining the largest c such that every two-edge-coloring of the complete graph on the positive integers contains a monochromatic path with upper density at least c. The authors solve this 25-year-old problem by showing that c=(12+8–√)/17≈0.87226.



A 𝑻-coloring of a graph 𝑮 = (𝑽,𝑬) is the generalized coloring of a graph. Given a graph 𝑮 = (𝑽, 𝑬) and a finite set T of positive integers containing 𝟎 , a 𝑻-coloring of 𝑮 is a function 𝒇 ∶ 𝑽 (𝑮) → 𝒁 + ∪ {𝟎} for all 𝒖 ≠ 𝒘 in 𝑽 (𝑮) such that if 𝒖𝒘 ∈ 𝑬(𝑮) then |𝒇(𝒖) − 𝒇(𝒘)| ∉ 𝑻. We define Strong 𝑻-coloring (S𝑻-coloring , in short), as a generalization of 𝑻-coloring as follows. Given a graph 𝑮 = (𝑽, 𝑬) and a finite set 𝑻 of positive integers containing 𝟎, a S𝑻-coloring of 𝑮 is a function 𝒇 ∶ 𝑽 (𝑮) → 𝒁 + ∪ {𝟎} for all 𝒖 ≠ 𝒘 in 𝑽 (𝑮) such that if 𝒖𝒘 ∈ 𝑬(𝑮) then |𝒇(𝒖) − 𝒇(𝒘)| ∉ 𝑻 and |𝒇(𝒖) − 𝒇(𝒘)| ≠ |𝒇(𝒙) − 𝒇(𝒚)| for any two distinct edges 𝒖𝒘, 𝒙𝒚 in 𝑬(𝑮). The S𝑻-Chromatic number of 𝑮 is the minimum number of colors needed for a S𝑻-coloring of 𝑮 and it is denoted by 𝝌𝑺𝑻(𝑮) . For a S𝑻 coloring 𝒄 of a graph 𝑮 we define the 𝒄𝑺𝑻- span 𝒔𝒑𝑺𝑻 𝒄 (𝑮) is the maximum value of |𝒄(𝒖) − 𝒄(𝒗)| over all pairs 𝒖, 𝒗 of vertices of 𝑮 and the S𝑻 -span 𝒔𝒑𝑺𝑻(𝑮) is defined by 𝒔𝒑𝑺𝑻(𝑮) = min 𝒔𝒑𝑺𝑻 𝒄 (𝑮) where the minimum is taken over all ST-coloring c of G. Similarly the 𝒄𝑺𝑻-edgespan 𝒆𝒔𝒑𝑺𝑻 𝒄 (𝑮) is the maximum value of |𝒄(𝒖) − 𝒄(𝒗)| over all edges 𝒖𝒗 of 𝑮 and the S𝑻-edge span 𝒆𝒔𝒑𝑺𝑻(𝑮) is defined by 𝒆𝒔𝒑𝑺𝑻(𝑮) = min 𝒆𝒔𝒑𝑺𝑻 𝒄 𝑮 where the minimum is taken over all ST-coloring c of G. In this paper we discuss these concepts namely, S𝑻- chromatic number, 𝒔𝒑𝑺𝑻(𝑮) , and 𝒆𝒔𝒑𝑺𝑻(𝑮) of graphs.

Let $K_{N}$ denote the complete graph on $N$ vertices with vertex set $V = V(K_{N})$ and edge set $E = E(K_{N})$. For $x,y \in V$, let $xy$ denote the edge between the two vertices $x$ and $y$. Let $L$ be any finite set and ${\cal M} \subseteq L^{3}$. Let $c : E \rightarrow L$. Let $[n]$ denote the integer set $\{1, 2, \ldots, n\}$. For $x,y,z \in V$, let $c(xyz)$ denote the ordered triple $\big(c(xy)$, $c(yz), c(xz)\big)$. We say that $c$ is good with respect to ${\cal M}$ if the following conditions obtain: 1. $\forall x,y \in V$ and $\forall (c(xy),j,k) \in {\cal M}$, $\exists z \in V$ such that $c(xyz) = (c(xy),j,k)$; 2. $\forall x,y,z \in V$, $c(xyz) \in {\cal M}$; and 3. $\forall x \in V \ \forall \ell\in L \ \exists \, y\in V$ such that $ c(xy)=\ell $. We investigate particular subsets ${\cal M}\subseteq L^{3}$ and those edge colorings of $K_{N}$ which are good with respect to these subsets ${\cal M}$. We also remark on the connections of these subsets and colorings to projective planes, Ramsey theory, and representations of relation algebras. In particular, we prove a special case of the flexible atom conjecture.
