Measure preserving homomorphisms and independent sets in tensor graph powers
In this note, we study the behavior of independent sets of maximum
probability measure in tensor graph powers. To do this, we introduce an upper
bound using measure preserving homomorphisms. This work extends some previous
results about independence ratios of tensor graph powers.Comment: 5 page
Rate-distance tradeoff for codes above graph capacity
The capacity of a graph is defined as the rate of exponential growth of
independent sets in the strong powers of the graph. In the strong power an edge
connects two sequences if at each position their letters are equal or adjacent.
We consider a variation of the problem where edges in the power graphs are
removed between sequences which differ in more than a fraction of
coordinates. The proposed generalization can be interpreted as the problem of
determining the highest rate of zero undetected-error communication over a link
with adversarial noise, where only a fraction of symbols can be
perturbed and only some substitutions are allowed.
We derive lower bounds on achievable rates by combining graph homomorphisms
with a graph-theoretic generalization of the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. We then
give an upper bound, based on Delsarte's linear programming approach, which
combines Lov\'asz' theta function with the construction used by McEliece et al.
for bounding the minimum distance of codes in Hamming spaces.Comment: 5 pages. Presented at 2016 IEEE International Symposium on

On Colorings of Graph Powers
In this paper, some results concerning the colorings of graph powers are
presented. The notion of helical graphs is introduced. We show that such graphs
are hom-universal with respect to high odd-girth graphs whose st power
is bounded by a Kneser graph. Also, we consider the problem of existence of
homomorphism to odd cycles. We prove that such homomorphism to a -cycle
exists if and only if the chromatic number of the st power of
is less than or equal to 3, where is the 2-subdivision of . We also
consider Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il's Pentagon problem. This problem is about the
existence of high girth cubic graphs which are not homomorphic to the cycle of
size five. Several problems which are closely related to Ne\v{s}et\v{r}il's
problem are introduced and their relations are presented
Testing List H-Homomorphisms
Let be an undirected graph. In the List -Homomorphism Problem, given
an undirected graph with a list constraint for each
variable , the objective is to find a list -homomorphism , that is, for every and whenever .
We consider the following problem: given a map as an oracle
access, the objective is to decide with high probability whether is a list
-homomorphism or \textit{far} from any list -homomorphisms. The
efficiency of an algorithm is measured by the number of accesses to .
In this paper, we classify graphs with respect to the query complexity
for testing list -homomorphisms and show the following trichotomy holds: (i)
List -homomorphisms are testable with a constant number of queries if and
only if is a reflexive complete graph or an irreflexive complete bipartite
graph. (ii) List -homomorphisms are testable with a sublinear number of
queries if and only if is a bi-arc graph. (iii) Testing list
-homomorphisms requires a linear number of queries if is not a bi-arc

Publisher Copyright: © 2021, The Author(s).Associative spectra of graph algebras are examined with the help of homomorphisms of DFS trees. Undirected graphs are classified according to the associative spectra of their graph algebras; there are only three distinct possibilities: constant 1, powers of 2, and Catalan numbers. Associative and antiassociative digraphs are described, and associative spectra are determined for certain families of digraphs, such as paths, cycles, and graphs on two vertices.publishersversionpublishe
