Let c be a proper k-coloring of a graph G. Let π = { R 1 , R 2 , … , R k } be the partition of V ( G ) induced by c, where R i is the partition class receiving color i. The color code c π ( v ) of a vertex v of G is the ordered k-tuple ( d ( v , R 1 ) , d ( v , R 2 ) , … , d ( v , R k ) ) , where d ( v , R i ) is the minimum distance from v to each other vertex u ∈ R i for 1 ≤ i ≤ k . If all vertices of G have distinct color codes, then c is called a locating k-coloring of G. The locating-chromatic number of G, denoted by χ L ( G ) , is the smallest k such that G admits a locating coloring with k colors. In this paper, we give a characterization of the locating chromatic number of powers of paths. In addition, we find sharp upper and lower bounds for the locating chromatic number of powers of cycles.

A general method to obtain insensitive upper and lower bounds for the stationary distribution of queueing networks is sketched. It is applied to an overflow model. The bounds are shown to be valid for service distributions with decreasing failure rate. A characterization of phase-type distributions with decreasing failure rate is given. An approximation method is proposed. The methods are illustrated with numerical results.

This paper studies the 2-distance chromatic number of some graph product. A coloring of [Formula: see text] is 2-distance if any two vertices at distance at most two from each other get different colors. The minimum number of colors in the 2-distance coloring of [Formula: see text] is the 2-distance chromatic number and denoted by [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we obtain some upper and lower bounds for the 2-distance chromatic number of the rooted product, generalized rooted product, hierarchical product and we determine exact value for the 2-distance chromatic number of the lexicographic product.

We consider the random graph modelG(w)for a given expected degree sequencew=(w1,w2,…,wn). Warmth, introduced by Brightwell and Winkler in the context of combinatorial statistical mechanics, is a graph parameter related to lower bounds of chromatic number. We present new upper and lower bounds on warmth ofG(w). In particular, the minimum expected degree turns out to be an upper bound of warmth when it tends to infinity and the maximum expected degreem=O(nα)with0<α<1/2.

Let G and H be two connected graphs. Let c be a vertex k-coloring of aconnected graph G and let = fCg be a partition of V (G) into the resultingcolor classes. For each v 2 V (G), the color code of v is dened to be k-vector: c1; C2; :::; Ck(v) =(d(v; C1); d(v; C2); :::; d(v; Ck)), where d(v; Ci) = minfd(v; x) j x 2 Cg, 1 i k. Ifdistinct vertices have distinct color codes with respect to , then c is called a locatingcoloring of G. The locating chromatic number of G is the smallest natural number ksuch that there are locating coloring with k colors in G. The Cartesian product of graphG and H is a graph with vertex set V (G) V (H), where two vertices (a; b) and (a)are adjacent whenever a = a0and bb02 E(H), or aa0i2 E(G) and b = b, denotedby GH. In this paper, we will study about the locating chromatic numbers of thecartesian product of two paths, the cartesian product of paths and complete graphs, andthe cartesian product of two complete graphs.

Let $A_3(n,d,w)$ denote the maximum cardinality of a ternary code with length $n$, minimum distance $d$, and constant Hamming weight $w$. Methods for proving upper and lower bounds on $A_3(n,d,w)$ are presented, and a table of exact values and bounds in the range $n \leq 10$ is given.

Subsystem codes protect quantum information by encoding it in a tensor factor of a subspace of the physical state space. They generalize all major quantum error protection schemes, and therefore are especially versatile. This paper introduces numerous constructions of subsystem codes. It is shown how one can derive subsystem codes from classical cyclic codes. Methods to trade the dimensions of subsystem and co-subsystem are introduced that maintain or improve the minimum distance. As a consequence, many optimal subsystem codes are obtained. Furthermore, it is shown how given subsystem codes can be extended, shortened, or combined to yield new subsystem codes. These subsystem code constructions are used to derive tables of upper and lower bounds on the subsystem code parameters.

A differential geometric characterization of the braid-index of a link is found. After multiplication by 2π, it equals the infimum of the sum of total curvature and total absolute torsion over holonomic representatives of the link. Upper and lower bounds for the infimum of the total curvature over holonomic representatives of a link are given in terms of its braid- and bridge-index. Examples showing that these bounds are sharp are constructed.

Haramaty and Sudan considered the problem of transmitting a message between two people, Alice and Bob, when Alice's and Bob's priors on the message are allowed to differ by at most a given factor. To find a deterministic compression scheme for this problem, they showed that it is sufficient to obtain an upper bound on the chromatic number of a graph, denoted $U(N,s,k)$ for parameters $N,s,k$, whose vertices are nested sequences of subsets and whose edges are between vertices that have similar sequences of sets. In turn, there is a close relationship between the problem of determining the chromatic number of $U(N,s,k)$ and a local graph coloring problem considered by Erdős et al. We generalize the results of Erdős et al. by finding bounds on the chromatic numbers of graphs $H$ and $G$ when there is a homomorphism $\phi :H\rightarrow G$ that satisfies a nice property. We then use these results to improve upper and lower bounds on $\chi(U(N,s,k))$.

We study reversible deterministic finite automata (REV-DFAs), that are partial deterministic finite automata whose transition function induces an injective mapping on the state set for every letter of the input alphabet. We give a structural characterization of regular languages that can be accepted by REV-DFAs. This characterization is based on the absence of a forbidden pattern in the (minimal) deterministic state graph. Again with a forbidden pattern approach, we also show that the minimality of REV-DFAs among all equivalent REV-DFAs can be decided. Both forbidden pattern characterizations give rise to [Formula: see text]-complete decision algorithms. In fact, our techniques allow us to construct the minimal REV-DFA for a given minimal DFA. These considerations lead to asymptotic upper and lower bounds on the conversion from DFAs to REV-DFAs. Thus, almost all problems that concern uniqueness and the size of minimal REV-DFAs are solved.
