    On Dirac's Conjecture

    Full text link
    Let GG be a 2-connected graph, ll be the length of a longest path in GG and cc be the circumference - the length of a longest cycle in GG. In 1952, Dirac proved that c>2lc>\sqrt{2l} and conjectured that cβ‰₯2lc\ge 2\sqrt{l}. In this paper we present more general sharp bounds in terms of ll and the length mm of a vine on a longest path in GG including Dirac's conjecture as a corollary: if c=m+y+2c=m+y+2 (generally, cβ‰₯m+y+2c\ge m+y+2) for some integer yβ‰₯0y\ge 0, then cβ‰₯4l+(y+1)2c\ge\sqrt{4l+(y+1)^2} if mm is odd; and cβ‰₯4l+(y+1)2βˆ’1c\ge\sqrt{4l+(y+1)^2-1} if mm is even.Comment: 6 pages, major revisio

    Electron Wave Function in the Field of a One Dimensional Irregular Layered Structure

    Full text link
    A method is proposed to find the wave function of an electron moving infinitely in the field of an arbitrary 1D layer structure with two different homogeneous semi-infinite boundaries. It is shown that in general the problem reduces to solution of a set of two linear difference equations. The proposed approach is discussed on a base of two cases: a structure of periodically placed identical rectangular potentials and a non-ordered structure with certain distortion of periodicity and potential identity.Comment: Submitted in Supperlattices and Microstructure

    Evolutionary Hamiltonian Graph Theory

    Full text link
    We present an alternative domain concerning mathematics to investigate universal evolution mechanisms by focusing on large cycles theory (LCT) - a simplified version of well-known hamiltonian graph theory. LCT joins together a number of NPNP-complete cycle problems in graph theory. NPNP-completeness is the kay factor insuring (by conjecture of Cook) the generation of endless developments and great diversity around large cycles problems. Originated about 60 years ago, the individuals (claims, propositions, lemmas, conjectures, theorems, and so on) in LCT continually evolve and adapt to their environment by an iterative process from primitive beginnings to best possible theorems based on inductive reasoning. LCT evolves much more rapidly than biosphere and has a few thousand pronounced species (theorems). Recall that life on earth with more than 2 million species was originated about 3.7 billion years ago and evolves extremely slowly. We show that all theorems in LCT have descended from some common primitive propositions such as "every complete graph is hamiltonian" or "every graph contains a cycle of length at least one" via improvements, modifications and three kinds of generalizations - closing, associating and extending. It is reasonable to review Darwinian mechanisms in light of LCT evolution mechanisms (especially inductive reasoning) including the origin and macroevolution disputable phenomena in the biosphere.Comment: 32 pages, improved versio

    Long Cycles in 1-tough Graphs

    Full text link
    In 1952, Dirac proved that every 2-connected graph with minimum degree Ξ΄\delta either is hamiltonian or contains a cycle of length at least 2Ξ΄2\delta. In 1986, Bauer and Schmeichel enlarged the bound 2Ξ΄2\delta to 2Ξ΄+22\delta+2 under additional 1-tough condition - an alternative and more natural necessary condition for a graph to be hamiltonian. In fact, the bound 2Ξ΄+22\delta+2 is sharp for a graph on nn vertices when n≑1(modΒ 3)n\equiv 1(mod\ 3). In this paper we present the final version of this result which is sharp for each nn: every 1-tough graph either is hamiltonian or contains a cycle of length at least 2Ξ΄+22\delta+2 when n≑1(modΒ 3)n\equiv 1(mod\ 3), at least 2Ξ΄+32\delta+3 when n≑2(modΒ 3)n\equiv 2(mod\ 3) or n≑1(modΒ 4)n\equiv 1(mod\ 4), and at least 2Ξ΄+42\delta+4 otherwise.Comment: 21 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1204.651

    Preliminary study of the missing mass spectra via the 12C(p,Ks0)^{12}C(p, K^0_s) and 12C(p,Ξ›)^{12}C(p,\Lambda) reactions at 10 GeV/c

    The missing mass spectra for the 12C(p,Ks0)^{12}C(p, K^0_s) and 12C(p,Ξ›)^{12}C(p,\Lambda) reactions have been studied by using of the propane bubble chamber(PBC) data from 700000 stereo photographs or 10610^6 inelastic interactions. The momentum spectrum of Ο€βˆ’\pi^- in range of 100-200 MeV/c have observed the significant enhancement from the p+Cβ†’Ο€βˆ’Ξ›\to \pi^-\LambdaX(p+Cβ†’Ο€βˆ’Ks0\to\pi^-K^0_sX) reaction. The missing mass spectra have been observed signals for the p(p,Ο€βˆ’Ks0)p(p,\pi^-K^0_s), 3H(p,pKs0)^3H(p,pK^0_s), p(p,Ξ›)Ο€βˆ’Ξ³\Lambda)\pi^-\gamma and p(p,Ο€βˆ’)Ξ›\pi^-)\Lambda reactions. This experimental study will need to continue by using of a different identification methods for a reaction channels.Comment: 3 pages, 7 figures, Proc.

    The spectral investigation of seven HII regions in Kazarian galaxies

    Full text link
    According to SDSS DR5 spectra the spectrophotometric investigations of seven HII regions of six Kazarian galaxies are conducted. The abundances of heavy elements and helium and also quantity of ionizing stars and star formation rate are determined. The oxygen abundance 12+log(O/H) lies in the range 7.94 - 8.35. The mean log(S/O), log(Ar/O) and log(Ne/O) abundance ratios are equal to: -1.63, -2.37 and -0.78, respectively. The log(N/O) abundance ratio of investigated HII regions is in the interval -0.63 to -1.37. They occupy the same area in the diagram N/O - O/H as the high-excitation HII regions. Most likely, the ages of investigated HII regions are larger than 100-300 Myr, required for the enrichment in nitrogen by intermediate-mass stars. The star formation rate is one order as in HII regions in spiral and irregular galaxies, and is in the interval 0.05 - 0.81 M year-1.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, 4 tables, published in Astrophysics, Vol. 51, No. 1, 2008 (English translation of Astrofizika

    My Research Visiting Card in Hamiltonian Graph Theory

    Full text link
    We present eighteen exact analogs of six well-known fundamental Theorems (due to Dirac, Nash-Williams and Jung) in hamiltonian graph theory providing alternative compositions of graph invariants. In Theorems 1-3 we give three lower bounds for the length of a longest cycle CC of a graph GG in terms of minimum degree δ\delta, connectivity κ\kappa and parameters pˉ\bar{p}, cˉ\bar{c} - the lengths of a longest path and longest cycle in G\CG\backslash C, respectively. These bounds have no analogs in the area involving pˉ\bar{p} and cˉ\bar{c} as parameters. In Theorems 11 and 12 we give two Dirac-type results for generalized cycles including a number of fundamental results (concerning Hamilton and dominating cycles) as special cases. Connectivity invariant κ\kappa appears as a parameter in some fundamental results and in some their exact analogs (Theorems 3-10) in the following chronological order: 1972 (Chv\'{a}tal and Erd\"{o}s), 1981a (Nikoghosyan), 1981b (Nikoghosyan), 1985a (Nikoghosyan), 1985b (Nikoghosyan), 2000 (Nikoghosyan), 2005 (Lu, Liu, Tian), 2009 (Nikoghosyan), 2009a (Yamashita), 2009b (Yamashita), 2011a (Nikoghosyan), 2011b (Nikoghosyan).Comment: 11 page

    On large kk-ended trees in connected graphs

    Full text link
    A vertex of degree one is called an end-vertex, and an end-vertex of a tree is called a leaf. A tree with at most kk leaves is called a kk-ended tree. For a positive integer kk, let tkt_k be the order of a largest kk-ended tree. Let Οƒm\sigma_m be the minimum degree sum of an independent set of mm vertices. The main result (Theorem 2) provides a lower bound for tk+1t_{k+1} in terms of Οƒm\sigma_m and relative orders: if GG is a connected graph and kk, Ξ»\lambda, mm are positive integers with 2≀m≀min⁑{k,Ξ»}+12\le m\le\min\{k,\lambda\}+1 then either tk+1β‰₯Οƒm+Ξ»(kβˆ’m+1)+1t_{k+1} \ge \sigma_m +\lambda(k-m+1)+1 or tkβ‰₯tk+1βˆ’Ξ»+1t_k\ge t_{k+1}-\lambda+1.Comment: 15 pages, major revision-

    Exotic strange multibaryon states searches with Ξ›\Lambda- hyperon and Ks0K^0_s- meson systems in p+A collisions at momentum 10 GeV/c

    Full text link
    Review for exotic strange multibaryon states were obseved in the effective mass spectra of: 1)Λπ+\Lambda \pi^+, Ξ›Ο€βˆ’\Lambda \pi^-, Ξ›p\Lambda p, Ξ›pp\Lambda p p, and Ξ›KS0\Lambda K^0_S, KS0π±K^0_S\pi^{\pm} and KS0pK^0_Sp subsystems.The invariant mass of Λπ+\Lambda \pi^+ and KS0π±K^0_S\pi^{\pm} spectra has observed well known Ξ£βˆ—+\Sigma^{*+}(1385) and Kβˆ—Β±K^{*\pm}(892) resonances. The width of Ξ£βˆ—βˆ’(1385)\Sigma^{*-}(1385) for p+A reaction is two time larger than that presented in PDG. The cross section of Ξžβˆ’β†’Ξ›Ο€βˆ’\Xi^-\to \Lambda \pi^- is 7-8 times larger than expected geometrical cross section in p+propane interaction. A few events detected on the photographs of the propane bubble chamber, were interpreted as S=-2 light and heavy H0,+H^{0,+} dibaryons.Comment: 10 pages, 16 figures, Proc. Int.
