It is shown that the certain combinatorial structures called stopping sets have the important role in analysis of iterative decoding. In this paper, the number of minimum stopping sets of a product code is determined by the number of the minimum stopping sets of the corresponding component codes. As an example, the number of minimum stopping sets of the r-dimensional SPC product code is computed.

Alspach et al. conjectured that every quartic Cayley graph on an even solvable group is $1$-factorizable. In this paper, we verify this conjecture for quartic Cayley graphs on supersolvable groups of even order.

Let $R$ be an associative ring with identity and $Z^{ast}(R)$ be its set of non-zero zero-divisors. Zero-divisor graphs of rings are well represented in the literature of commutative and non-commutative rings. The directed zero-divisor graph of $R$, denoted by $Gamma{(R)}$, is the directed graph whose vertices are the set of non-zero zero-divisors of $R$ and for distinct non-zero zero-divisors $x,y$, $xrightarrow y$ is an directed edge if and only if $xy=0$. In this paper, we connect some graph-theoretic concepts with algebraic notions, and investigate the interplay between the ring-theoretical properties of a skew power series ring $R[[x;alpha]]$ and the graph-theoretical properties of its directed zero-divisor graph $Gamma(R[[x;alpha]])$. In doing so, we give a characterization of the possible diameters of $Gamma(R[[x;alpha]])$ in terms of the diameter of $Gamma(R)$, when the base ring $R$ is reversible and right Noetherian with an $alpha$-condition, namely $alpha$-compatible property. We also provide many examples for showing the necessity of our assumptions.

In this article, for a lattice $mathcal L$, we define and investigate the annihilator graph $mathfrak {ag} (mathcal L)$ of $mathcal L$ which contains the zero-divisor graph of $mathcal L$ as a subgraph. Also, for a 0-distributive lattice $mathcal L$, we study some properties of this graph such as regularity, connectedness, the diameter, the girth and its domination number. Moreover, for a distributive lattice $mathcal L$ with $Z(mathcal L)neqlbrace 0rbrace$, we show that $mathfrak {ag} (mathcal L) = Gamma(mathcal L)$ if and only if $mathcal L$ has exactly two minimal prime ideals. Among other things, we consider the annihilator graph $mathfrak {ag} (mathcal L)$ of the lattice $mathcal L=(mathcal D(n),|)$ containing all positive divisors of a non-prime natural number $n$ and we compute some invariants such as the domination number, the clique number and the chromatic number of this graph. Also, for this lattice we investigate some special cases in which $mathfrak {ag} (mathcal D(n))$ or $Gamma(mathcal D(n))$ are planar, Eulerian or Hamiltonian.

Let $G$ be a graph (directed or undirected) having $k$ number of blocks $B_1, B_2,hdots,B_k$. A $mathcal{B}$-partition of $G$ is a partition consists of $k$ vertex-disjoint subgraph $(hat{B_1},hat{B_1},hdots,hat{B_k})$ such that $hat{B}_i$ is an induced subgraph of $B_i$ for $i=1,2,hdots,k.$ The terms $prod_{i=1}^{k}det(hat{B}_i), prod_{i=1}^{k}text{per}(hat{B}_i)$ represent the det-summands and the per-summands, respectively, corresponding to the $mathcal{B}$-partition $(hat{B_1},hat{B_1},hdots,hat{B_k})$. The determinant (permanent) of a graph having no loops on its cut-vertices is equal to the summation of the det-summands (per-summands), corresponding to all possible $mathcal{B}$-partitions. In this paper, we calculate the determinant and the permanent of classes of graphs such as block graph, block graph with negatives cliques, signed unicyclic graph, mixed complete graph, negative mixed complete graph, and star mixed block graphs.

The spectral excess theorem, due to Fiol and Garriga in 1997, is an important result, because it gives a good characterization of distance-regularity in graphs. Up to now, some authors have given some variations of this theorem. Motivated by this, we give the corresponding result by using the Laplacian spectrum for digraphs. We also illustrate this Laplacian spectral excess theorem for digraphs with few Laplacian eigenvalues and we show that any strongly connected and regular digraph that has normal Laplacian matrix with three distinct eigenvalues, is distance-regular. Hence such a digraph is strongly regular with girth $g=2$ or $g=3$.
