A non-negative matrix [] is called generalized tournament, denoted GTT(n), if: (for all i), (for all(i,j) with ) and (for all (i,j,k) with pairwise distinct). In [9], using hypergraphs associated with GTT matrices, it has been shown that for all the vertices of the GTT(n) polytope are half-integral. In this work, we show that these matrices belong to the class of 2-regular matrices and highlight the related optimization implications. Finally, based on our approach and known partial results, conjectures on characterizing the extreme points of the GTT(n) polytope for are provided.

We introduce the autoparatopism variant of the autotopism stabilized colouring game on the rook's graph as a natural generalization of the latter so that each board configuration is uniquely related to a partial Latin square of order n that respects a given autoparatopism (θ; π). To this end, we distinguish between and . The complexity of this variant is examined by means of the autoparatopism stabilized game chromatic number. Some illustrative examples and results are shown.

Let be a finite abelian group with . The Kemperman Structure Theorem characterizes all subsets satisfying and has been extended to cover the case when . Utilizing these results, we provide a precise structural description of all finite subsets with when (also when G is infinite), in which case many of the pathological possibilities from the case vanish, particularly for large . The structural description is combined with other arguments to generalize a subsequence sum result of Olson asserting that a sequence S of terms from G having length must either have every element of G representable as a sum of -terms from S or else have all but of its terms lying in a common H-coset for some . We show that the much weaker hypothesis suffices to obtain a nearly identical conclusion, where for the case H is trivial we must allow all but terms of S to be from the same H-coset. The bound on is improved for sever
设G = Z/ m1zx…×Z/mrZ是一个有限阿贝尔群,其中m1|…|mr=exp (G)。kempman结构定理描述了所有子集A、B的≥≥A+B; <|A|+|B|,并将其扩展到≤|A|+|B|的情况。利用这些结果,我们提供了当n≥3(也当G为无限大)时,所有具有|nA|≤(| a |+1)n−3的有限子集a的精确结构描述,在这种情况下,当n=2时的许多病态可能性消失,特别是当n≥exp (G)−1时。该结构描述与其他论证相结合,推广了Olson的子序列和结果,即由长度为|S|≥2|G|−1的G的项组成的序列S,要么G的每一个元素都可以表示为来自S的|G|项的和,要么除了|G/H|−2项以外的所有项都在H-余集内,对于某些H≤G。我们证明了弱得多的假设|S|≥|G|+exp (G)足以得到一个几乎相同的结论,其中对于H是平凡的情况,我们必须允许S的除|G/H|−1项以外的所有项都来自同一个H集。改进了若干类群G上的界,得到了最优下界。

We study the class of link types that admit a K4-minor-free diagram, i.e., they can be projected on the plane so that the resulting graph does not contain any subdivision of K4. We prove that is the closure of a subclass of torus links under the operation of connected sum. Using this structural result, we enumerate and subclasses of it, with respect to the minimal number of crossings or edges in a projection of . Further, we enumerate (both exactly and asymptotically) all connected K4-minor-free link diagrams, all minimal connected K4-minor-free link diagrams, and all K4-minor-free diagrams of the unknot.

In this work we compute the group inverse of the Laplacian of the connections of two networks by and edge in terms of the Laplacians of the original networks. Thus the effective resistances and Kirchhoff index of the new network can be derived from the Kirchhoff indexes of the original networks.
