2-Distance Strong b-coloring of Perfect 𝜟-ary Tree

A 2-distance 𝑏-coloring is a 2-distance coloring in which every color class contains a vertex which has a neighbor in every other color class. A 2-distance strong 𝑏-coloring (2𝑠𝑏- coloring) is a 2-distance coloring in which every color class contains a vertex 𝑢 such that there is a vertex 𝑣 in every other color class satisfying the condition that the distance between 𝑢 and 𝑣 is at most 2. The 2-distance 𝑏-chromatic number 𝜒2𝑏(𝐺) (2𝑏-number) is the largest integer 𝑘 such that 𝐺 admits a 2-distance 𝑏-coloring with 𝑘 colors and the 2-distance strong bchromatic number 𝜒2𝑠𝑏(𝐺) (2𝑠𝑏-number) is the maximum k such that 𝐺 admits a 2𝑠𝑏-coloring with 𝑘 colors. A tree with a special vertex called the root is called a rooted tree. A perfect 𝛥- ary tree, is a rooted tree in which all internal vertices are of degree 𝛥 and all pendant vertices are at the same level. In this paper, the exact bound of the 2𝑠𝑏-number of perfect 𝛥-ary tree are obtained.

On the Maximal Number of Complete Extensions in Abstract Argumentation Frameworks

argumentation frameworks are by now a major research area in knowledge representation and reasoning. Various aspects of AFs have been extensively studied over the last 25 years. Contributing to understanding the expressive power of AFs, researchers found lower and upper bounds for the maximal number of extensions, that is, acceptable points of view, in AFs. One of the classical and most important concepts in AFs are so-called complete extensions. Surprisingly, the exact bound for the maximal number of complete extensions in an AF has not yet been formally established, although there is a reasonable conjecture tracing back at least to 2015. Recently the notion of modularization was introduced and it was shown that this concept plays a key role for the understanding of relations between semantics as well as intrinsic properties. In this paper, we will use this property to give a formal proof of the conjecture regarding complete semantics.

Limit Cycles in the Equation of Whirling Pendulum With Piecewise Smooth Perturbations

This paper deals with the problem of limit cycles for the whirling pendulum equation ẋ = y, ẏ = sin x(cos x-r) under piecewise smooth perturbations of polynomials of cos x, sin x and y of degree n with the switching line x = 0. The upper bounds of the number of limit cycles in both the oscillatory and the rotary regions are obtained by using the Picard-Fuchs equations which the generating functions of the associated first order Melnikov functions satisfy. Further, the exact bound of a special case is given by using the Chebyshev system.

Bound state solutions of the Schrödinger equation with energy-dependent molecular Kratzer potential via asymptotic iteration method

In this paper, we obtained the exact bound state energy spectrum of the Schrödinger equation with energy dependent molecular Kratzer potential using asymptotic iteration method (AIM). The corresponding wave function expressed in terms of the confluent hypergeometric function was also obtained. As a special case, when the energy slope parameter in the energy-dependent molecular Kratzer potential is set to zero, then the well-known molecular Kratzer potential is recovered. Numerical results for the energy eigenvlaues are also obtained for different quantum states, in the presence and absence of the energy slope parameter. These results are discussed extensively using graphical representation. Our results are seen to agree with the results in literature.

Bound states of an inverse-cube singular potential: A candidate for electron-quadrupole binding

We use the Tridiagonal Representation Approach (TRA) to obtain exact bound states solution (energy spectrum and wave function) of the Schrödinger equation for a three-parameter short-range potential with [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] singularities at the origin. The solution is a finite series of square-integrable functions with expansion coefficients that satisfy a three-term recursion relation. The solution of the recursion is a non-conventional orthogonal polynomial with discrete spectrum. The results of this work could be used to study the binding of an electron to a molecule with an effective electric quadrupole moment which has the same [Formula: see text] singularity.
