The complexity of the perfect matching‐cut problem
Abstract PERFECT MATCHING‐CUT is the problem of deciding whether a graph has a perfect matching that contains an edge‐cut. We show that this problem is NP‐complete for planar graphs with maximum degree four, for planar graphs with girth five, for bipartite five‐regular graphs, for graphs of diameter three, and for bipartite graphs of diameter four.

Logarithmic girth expander graphs of $SL_n(\mathbb F_p)$ [PDF]
We provide an explicit construction of finite 4-regular graphs $(\Gamma_k)_{k\in \mathbb N}$ with ${girth \Gamma_k\to\infty}$ as $k\to\infty$ and $\frac{diam \Gamma_k}{girth \Gamma_k}\leqslant D$ for some $D>0$ and all $k\in\mathbb{N}$. For each fixed dimension $n\geqslant 2,$ we find a pair of matrices in $SL_{n}(\mathbb{Z})$ such that (i) they ...

Abstract Theories of blame suggest that the institutional design of public service delivery affects citizens' blame of politicians for service failure, and that delegation or contracting out reducing citizens' blame of politicians. We replicate experimentally James et al.'s blame study to assess whether the findings still apply in the original, Western

Higher dimensional Moore bounds [PDF]
We prove upper bounds on the face numbers of simplicial complexes in terms on their girths, in analogy with the Moore bound from graph theory. Our definition of girth generalizes the usual definition for graphs.

Necessary and Sufficient Girth Conditions for Tanner Graphs of Quasi-Cyclic LDPC Codes [PDF]
This paper revisits the connection between the girth of a protograph-based LDPC code given by a parity-check matrix and the properties of powers of the product between the matrix and its transpose in order to obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for a code to have given girth between 6 and 12, and to show how these conditions can be ...

Aligning Fishing Gear Selectivity With Harvest Slot Limits for Ballan Wrasse Labrus bergylta
ABSTRACT Selectivity is an important parameter used to identify the portion of a stock caught by a fishing gear. In principle, fisheries management aligns the length at which 50% of individuals are selected for (L50${L_{50}}$) with minimum landing sizes.

The girth alternative for mapping class groups [PDF]
The girth of a finitely generated group G is the supremum of the girth of Cayley graphs for G over all finite generating sets. Let G be a finitely generated subgroup of the mapping class group Mod(S), where S is a compact orientable surface. Then, either G is virtually abelian or it has infinite girth; moreover, if we assume that G is not infinite ...

Analysis Of The Girth For Regular Bi-partite Graphs With Degree 3 [PDF]
The goal of this paper is to derive the detailed description of the Enumeration Based Search Algorithm from the high level description provided in [16], analyze the experimental results from our implementation of the Enumeration Based Search Algorithm ...

Short rainbow cycles for families of matchings and triangles
Abstract A generalization of the famous Caccetta–Häggkvist conjecture, suggested by Aharoni, is that any family F =(F 1 , … , F n ) ${\rm{ {\mathcal F} }}=({F}_{1},\ldots ,{F}_{n})$ of sets of edges in K n ${K}_{n}$, each of size k $k$, has a rainbow cycle of length at most ⌈ n k ⌉ $\lceil \frac{n}{k}\rceil $. In works by the author with Aharoni and by

Diversity safely conserved within gene banks, play a pivotal role in climate‐smart agriculture by recommending accessions for breeding or by distributing and introducing the varieties that possess advantages for local conditions. Screening for sufficient crop diversity in specific agro‐ecological zones will allow to mitigate the risk of climate change.
