Langford sequences and a product of digraphs

Skolem and Langford sequences and their many generalizations have applications in numerous areas. The $\otimes_h$-product is a generalization of the direct product of digraphs. In this paper we use the $\otimes_h$-product and super edge-magic digraphs to construct an exponential number of Langford sequences with certain order and defect. We also apply this procedure to extended Skolem sequences.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, to appear in European Journal of Combinatoric

Infinitely many cyclic solutions to the Hamilton-Waterloo problem with odd length cycles

It is conjectured that for every pair $(\ell,m)$ of odd integers greater than 2 with $m \equiv 1\; \pmod{\ell}$, there exists a cyclic two-factorization of $K_{\ell m}$ having exactly $(m-1)/2$ factors of type $\ell^m$ and all the others of type $m^{\ell}$. The authors prove the conjecture in the affirmative when $\ell \equiv 1\; \pmod{4}$ and $m \geq \ell^2 -\ell + 1$.Comment: 31 page
