    Mediated digraphs and quantum nonlocality

    Get PDF
    A digraph D=(V,A) is mediated if for each pair x,y of distinct vertices of D, either xyA or yxA or there is a vertex z such that both xz,yzA. For a digraph D, Δ-(D) is the maximum in-degree of a vertex in D. The nth mediation number μ(n) is the minimum of Δ-(D) over all mediated digraphs on n vertices. Mediated digraphs and μ(n) are of interest in the study of quantum nonlocality. We obtain a lower bound f(n) for μ(n) and determine infinite sequences of values of n for which μ(n)=f(n) and μ(n)>f(n), respectively. We derive upper bounds for μ(n) and prove that μ(n)=f(n)(1+o(1)). We conjecture that there is a constant c such that μ(n)f(n)+c. Methods and results of design theory and number theory are used

    A digraph D = (V, A) is mediated if for each pair x, y of distinct vertices of D, either xy ∈ A or yx ∈ A or there is a vertex z such that both xz, yz ∈ A. For a digraph D, ∆ − (D) is the maximum in-degree of a vertex in D. The nth mediation number µ(n) is the minimum of ∆ − (D) over all mediated digraphs on n vertices. Mediated digraphs and µ(n) are of interest in the study of quantum nonlocality. We obtain a lower bound f(n) for µ(n) and determine infinite sequences of values of n for which µ(n) = f(n) and µ(n)> f(n), respectively. We derive upper bounds for µ(n) and prove that µ(n) = f(n)(1 + o(1)). We conjecture that there is a constant c such that µ(n) ≤ f(n) + c. Methods and results of design theory and number theory are used
