Determining vertex subsets are known tools to provide information about automorphism groups of graphs and, consequently about symmetries of graphs. In this paper, we provide both lower and upper bounds of the minimum size of such vertex subsets, called the determining number of the graph. These bounds, which are performed for arbitrary graphs, allow us to compute the determining number in two different graph families such are cographs and unit interval graphs.

This paper considers an infection spreading in a graph; a vertex gets infected if at least two of its neighbors are infected. The $P_3$-hull number is the minimum size of a vertex set that eventually infects the whole graph. In the specific case of the Kneser graph $K(n,k)$, with $n\ge 2k+1$, an infection spreading on the family of $k$-sets of an $n$-set is considered. A set is infected whenever two sets disjoint from it are infected. We compute the exact value of the $P_3$-hull number of $K(n,k)$ for $n>2k+1$. For $n = 2k+1$, using graph homomorphisms from the Knesser graph to the Hypercube, we give lower and upper bounds.

We deal here with theLinear Arrangement Problem(LAP) onintervalgraphs, any interval graph being given here together with its representation as theintersectiongraph of some collection of intervals, and so with relatedprecedenceandinclusionrelations. We first propose a lower boundLB, which happens to be tight in the case ofunit intervalgraphs. Next, we introduce the restriction PCLAP of LAP which is obtained by requiring any feasible solution of LAP to be consistent with theprecedencerelation, and prove that PCLAP can be solved in polynomial time. Finally, we show both theoretically and experimentally that PCLAP solutions are a good approximation for LAP onintervalgraphs.

Let G = G 1 × G 2 × ⋯ × G m be the strong product of simple, finite connected graphs, and let ϕ : ℕ ⟶ 0 , ∞ be an increasing function. We consider the action of generalized maximal operator M G ϕ on ℓ p spaces. We determine the exact value of ℓ p -quasi-norm of M G ϕ for the case when G is strong product of complete graphs, where 0 < p ≤ 1 . However, lower and upper bounds of ℓ p -norm have been determined when 1 < p < ∞ . Finally, we computed the lower and upper bounds of M G ϕ p when G is strong product of arbitrary graphs, where 0 < p ≤ 1 .

If $G$ be a graph or a digraph, let $\mathrm{id}(G)$ be the minimum size of an identifying code of $G$ if one exists, and $\mathrm{id}(G)=+\infty$ otherwise. For a graph $G$, let $\mathrm{idor}(G)$ be the minimum of $\mathrm{id}(D)$ overall orientations $D$ of $G$. We give some lower and upper bounds on $\mathrm{idor}(G)$. In particular, we show that $\mathrm{idor}(G)\leqslant \frac{3}{2} \mathrm{id}(G)$ for every graph $G$. We also show that computing $\mathrm{idor}(G)$ is NP-hard, while deciding whether $\mathrm{idor}(G)\leqslant |V(G)|-k$ is polynomial-time solvable for every fixed integer $k$.

The author's population density index ( PDI) model is extended to three-dimensional distributions. A derived formula is presented that allows for the calculation of the lower and upper bounds of density in three-dimensional space for any finite lattice.

In this paper, the notion of energy extended to spherical fuzzy graph. The adjacency matrix of a spherical fuzzy graph is defined and we compute the energy of a spherical fuzzy graph as the sum of absolute values of eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix of the spherical fuzzy graph. Also, the lower and upper bounds for the energy of spherical fuzzy graphs are obtained.

The age of information (AoI) has been widely used to quantify the information freshness in real-time status update systems. As the AoI is independent of the inherent property of the source data and the context, we introduce a mutual information-based value of information (VoI) framework for hidden Markov models. In this paper, we investigate the VoI and its relationship to the AoI for a noisy Ornstein–Uhlenbeck (OU) process. We explore the effects of correlation and noise on their relationship, and find logarithmic, exponential and linear dependencies between the two in three different regimes. This gives the formal justification for the selection of non-linear AoI functions previously reported in other works. Moreover, we study the statistical properties of the VoI in the example of a queue model, deriving its distribution functions and moments. The lower and upper bounds of the average VoI are also analysed, which can be used for the design and optimisation of freshness-aware networks. Numerical results are presented and further show that, compared with the traditional linear age and some basic non-linear age functions, the proposed VoI framework is more general and suitable for various contexts.
