A tabu search heuristic based on k-diamonds for the weighted feedback vertex set problem

open access: yes
Given an undirected and vertex weighted graph G = (V,E,w), the Weighted Feedback Vertex Problem (WFVP) consists of finding a subset F ⊆ V of vertices of minimum weight such that each cycle in G contains at least one vertex in F.

Graph Theory. 2. Vertex Descriptors and Graph Coloring

open access: yes, 2002
This original work presents the construction of a set of ten sequence matrices and their applications for ordering vertices in graphs. For every sequence matrix three ordering criteria are applied: lexicographic ordering, based on strings of numbers ...

Partial Steiner Triple Systems With an Almost Parallel Class Missing Any Given Point

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We say that a hypergraph is factor critical if it has no 1‐factor but deletion of any vertex results in a hypergraph that has a 1‐factor. We show that any factor‐critical hypergraph of order n $n$ has at least n $n$ edges, and that for all integers k > 1 $k\gt 1$ and n > 1 $n\gt 1$ with n ≡ 1 ( mod k ) $n\equiv 1({\rm{mod}}\,k)$ there exists a

Catalan Bounds for Symmetric Strength‐Two Orthogonal Arrays

open access: yesJournal of Combinatorial Designs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A Hamming shell construction is a two‐level array obtained by taking every binary vector of a given Hamming weight a prescribed number of times, for each weight in turn. Such arrays are invariant under all permutations of the factors, and they are strength‐two orthogonal arrays exactly when the multiplicities satisfy three linear constraints ...

On Odd Covers of Cliques and Disjoint Unions

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Babai and Frankl posed the “odd cover problem” of finding the minimum cardinality of a collection of complete bipartite graphs such that every edge of the complete graph of order n $n$ is covered an odd number of times. In a previous paper with O'Neill, some of the authors proved that this value is always ⌈ n / 2 ⌉ $\lceil n/2\rceil $ or ⌈ n /

Explicit 3‐colorings for Exponential Graphs

open access: yesJournal of Graph Theory, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In 1985, El‐Zahar and Sauer showed that the chromatic number of the direct product of two 4‐chromatic graphs is 4, establishing a nontrivial case of Hedetniemi's conjecture, which has since been refuted in general. Their proof uses the concept of an exponential graph, showing that if a graph H $H$ has no proper 3‐coloring, then the exponential
