Let (G=(V(G), E(G), F(G))) be a plane graph with vertex, edge, and region sets V(G), E(G), and F(G) respectively. A zonal labeling of a plane graph G is a labeling (ell : V(G)rightarrow {1,2}subset mathbb {Z}_3) such that for every region (Rin F(G)) with boundary (B_R), (sum _{vin V(B_R)}ell (v)=0) in (mathbb {Z}_3). It has been proven by Chartrand, Egan, and Zhang that a cubic map has a zonal labeling if and only if it has a 3-edge coloring, also known as a Tait coloring. A dual notion of cozonal labelings is defined, and an alternate proof of this theorem is given. New features of cozonal labelings and their utility are highlighted along the way. Potential extensions of results to related problems are presented.

It was found that a function with exactly one discontinuity may have a continuous iterate of second order, indicating that a discontinuity may be repaired to be a continuous one by its adjacent pair of functions of second order, called second order sui-repair. If a function has more than one discontinuities, examples show that some discontinuities may be repaired to be continuous ones by the other’s adjacent pair of functions of second order, called second order (C^{0}) homi-repair. In this paper we investigate second order (C^{0}) homi-repairs of removable and jumping discontinuities for functions having more than one but finitely many discontinuities. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for removable and jumping discontinuities to be (C^0) repaired by the second order iteration.

A double Roman dominating function (DRDF) on a graph (G=(V,E)) is a function (f:Vrightarrow {0,1,2,3}) having the property that if (f(v)=0), then vertex v must have at least two neighbors assigned 2 under f or one neighbor w with (f(w)=3), and if (f(v)=1), then vertex v must have at least one neighbor w with (f(w)ge 2). The weight of a DRDF is the sum of its function values over all vertices, and the double Roman domination number (gamma _{dR}(G)) is the minimum weight of a DRDF on G. Khoeilar et al. (Discrete Appl. Math. 270:159–167, 2019) proved that if G is a connected graph of order n with minimum degree two different from (C_{5}) and (C_{7}), then (gamma _{dR}(G)le frac{11}{10}n.) Moreover, they presented an infinite family of graphs ({mathcal {G}}) attaining the upper bound, and conjectured that ({mathcal {G}}) is the only family of extremal graphs reaching the bound. In this paper, we disprove this conjecture by characterizing all extremal graphs for this bound.
摘要 图(G=(V,E))上的双罗马占优函数(DRDF)是一个函数(f:V/arrow {0,1,2,3(})),其性质是:如果(f(v)=0),那么顶点 v 必须至少有两个邻居被分配给 2,或者有一个邻居 w,并且(f(w)=3)。那么顶点 v 必须至少有两个在 f 下被分配为 2 的邻居,或者有一个邻居 w,并且 (f(w)=3)。如果 (f(v)=1)则顶点 v 必须至少有一个邻居 w 具有 (f(w)ge 2) 。DRDF 的权重是它在所有顶点上的函数值之和,双罗马支配数 (gamma _{dR}(G)) 是 DRDF 在 G 上的最小权重。(Discrete Appl. Math. 270:159-167, 2019) 证明,如果 G 是一个阶数为 n 的连通图,其最小度数与 (C_{5}) 和 (C_{7}) 不同,那么 (gamma _{dR}(G)le frac{11}{10}n.) 此外,他们提出了达到上界的图({mathcal {G}})的无穷族,并猜想({mathcal {G}})是唯一达到上界的极值图族。在本文中,我们通过描述该界限的所有极值图来反证这一猜想。

Exponential semi-polynomials on semigroups are natural generalizations of exponential polynomials on groups. We show that several of the standard properties of exponential polynomials on groups also hold for exponential semi-polynomials on semigroups. The main result is that for topological commutative monoids S belonging to a certain class, a function in C(S) is an exponential semi-polynomial if and only if it is contained in a finite dimensional translation invariant linear subspace. We also show that some standard results about polynomials on commutative semigroups are in fact valid on all semigroups.

In this work, we focus on the evolution of the vortex filament flow (frac{partial gamma }{partial t} = frac{partial gamma }{partial s} wedge frac{D}{ds}frac{partial gamma }{partial s}) for spacelike and timelike curves in a 3-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold. We study the relations between a partial differential equation and the vortex filament flow for spacelike and timelike curves. As a result, we prove that the vortex filament flow of the spacelike curve in a 3-dimensional pseudo-Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature is equivalent to the heat equation, and the flow of the timelike curve is equivalent to the non-linear Schrödinger equation. Also, we give some examples to illustrate the vortex filament flow.
