Primitive non-powerful symmetric loop-free signed digraphs with given base and minimum number of arcs
AbstractIn [B.M. Kim, B.C. Song, W. Hwang, Primitive graphs with given exponents and minimum number of edges, Linear Algebra Appl. 420 (2007) 648–662], the minimum number of edges of a simple graph on n vertices with exponent k was determined. In this paper, we completely determine the minimum number, H(n,k), of arcs of primitive non-powerful symmetric loop-free signed digraphs on n vertices with base k, characterize the underlying digraphs which have H(n,k) arcs when k is 2, nearly characterize the case when k is 3 and propose an open problem
Proceedings of the 1st International Conference on Algebras, Graphs and Ordered Sets (ALGOS 2020)
International audienceOriginating in arithmetics and logic, the theory of ordered sets is now a field of combinatorics that is intimately linked to graph theory, universal algebra and multiple-valued logic, and that has a wide range of classical applications such as formal calculus, classification, decision aid and social choice.This international conference “Algebras, graphs and ordered set” (ALGOS) brings together specialists in the theory of graphs, relational structures and ordered sets, topics that are omnipresent in artificial intelligence and in knowledge discovery, and with concrete applications in biomedical sciences, security, social networks and e-learning systems. One of the goals of this event is to provide a common ground for mathematicians and computer scientists to meet, to present their latest results, and to discuss original applications in related scientific fields. On this basis, we hope for fruitful exchanges that can motivate multidisciplinary projects.The first edition of ALgebras, Graphs and Ordered Sets (ALGOS 2020) has a particular motivation, namely, an opportunity to honour Maurice Pouzet on his 75th birthday! For this reason, we have particularly welcomed submissions in areas related to Maurice’s many scientific interests:• Lattices and ordered sets• Combinatorics and graph theory• Set theory and theory of relations• Universal algebra and multiple valued logic• Applications: formal calculus, knowledge discovery, biomedical sciences, decision aid and social choice, security, social networks, web semantics..
Multicoloured Random Graphs: Constructions and Symmetry
This is a research monograph on constructions of and group actions on
countable homogeneous graphs, concentrating particularly on the simple random
graph and its edge-coloured variants. We study various aspects of the graphs,
but the emphasis is on understanding those groups that are supported by these
graphs together with links with other structures such as lattices, topologies
and filters, rings and algebras, metric spaces, sets and models, Moufang loops
and monoids. The large amount of background material included serves as an
introduction to the theories that are used to produce the new results. The
large number of references should help in making this a resource for anyone
interested in beginning research in this or allied fields.Comment: Index added in v2. This is the first of 3 documents; the other 2 will
appear in physic
The imperative implementation of algebraic data types
The synthesis of imperative programs for hierarchical, algebraically specified abstract data types is investigated. Two aspects of the synthesis are considered: the choice of data structures for efficient implementation, and the synthesis of linked implementations for the class of ADTs which insert and access data without explicit key. The methodology is based on an analysis of the algebraic semantics of the ADT. Operators are partitioned according to the behaviour of their corresponding operations in the initial algebra. A family of relations, the storage relations of an ADT, Is defined. They depend only on the operator partition and reflect an observational view of the ADT. The storage relations are extended to storage graphs: directed graphs with a subset of nodes designated for efficient access. The data structures in our imperative language are chosen according to properties of the storage relations and storage graphs. Linked implementations are synthesised in a stepwise manner by implementing the given ADT first by its storage graphs, and then by linked data structures in the imperative language. Some circumstances under which the resulting programs have constant time complexity are discussed
