Vertex decomposability and regularity of very well-covered graphs
A graph is well-covered if it has no isolated vertices and all the
maximal independent sets have the same cardinality. If furthermore two times
this cardinality is equal to , the graph is called very
well-covered. The class of very well-covered graphs contains bipartite
well-covered graphs. Recently in \cite{CRT} it is shown that a very
well-covered graph is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if it is pure shellable.
In this article we improve this result by showing that is Cohen-Macaulay if
and only if it is pure vertex decomposable. In addition, if denotes the
edge ideal of , we show that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of
is equal to the maximum number of pairwise 3-disjoint edges of . This
improves Kummini's result on unmixed bipartite graphs.Comment: 11 page
Analyzing the Composition of HDI in European Countries
Human Development Index (HDI) measures development in a country by combining indicators of life expectancy, education level and income. In 2013, 187 countries were included in this index, which aims to expand the coverage area as additional statistics become more available. HDI, which is published by UNDP, may be the most comprehensive indicator, but it is not fully compatible enough to measure the human development level in a global perspective. Human Development Index explicitly explains the development of a country as being more than an economic growth tool or material wealth. In this way, this index is distinguished from many other performance indicators. This article aims to analyze the proportion of the three indicators on 37 European countries
