An $r$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraph $H$ is said to have the Manickam-Miklós-Singhi (MMS) property if for every assignment of weights to its vertices with nonnegative sum, the number of edges whose total weight is nonnegative is at least the minimum degree of $H$. In this paper we show that for $n>10r^3$, every $r$-uniform $n$-vertex hypergraph with equal codegrees has the MMS property, and the bound on $n$ is essentially tight up to a constant factor. This result has two immediate corollaries. First it shows that every set of $n>10k^3$ real numbers with nonnegative sum has at least $\binom{n-1}{k-1}$ nonnegative $k$-sums, verifying the Manickam-Miklós-Singhi conjecture for this range. More importantly, it implies the vector space Manickam-Miklós-Singhi conjecture which states that for $n \ge 4k$ and any weighting on the $1$-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{F}_{q}^n$ with nonnegative sum, the number of nonnegative $k$-dimensional subspaces is at least ${n-1 \brack k-1}_q$. We also discuss two additional generalizations, which can be regarded as analogues of the Erdős-Ko-Rado theorem on $k$-intersecting families.

Let kr(n, δ) be the minimum number of r-cliques in graphs with n vertices and minimum degree at least δ. We evaluate kr(n, δ) for δ ≤ 4n/5 and some other cases. Moreover, we give a construction which we conjecture to give all extremal graphs (subject to certain conditions on n, δ and r).

In this paper, we introduce and study a new coloring problem of graphs called the double total dominator coloring. A double total dominator coloring of a graph [Formula: see text] with minimum degree at least 2 is a proper vertex coloring of [Formula: see text] such that each vertex has to dominate at least two color classes. The minimum number of colors among all double total dominator coloring of [Formula: see text] is called the double total dominator chromatic number, denoted by [Formula: see text]. Therefore, we establish the close relationship between the double total dominator chromatic number [Formula: see text] and the double total domination number [Formula: see text]. We prove the NP-completeness of the problem. We also examine the effects on [Formula: see text] when [Formula: see text] is modified by some operations. Finally, we discuss the [Formula: see text] number of square of trees by giving some bounds.

In this paper, we consider constant factor approximation algorithms for a variant of the discrete piercing set problem for unit disks. Here a set of points P is given; the objective is to choose minimum number of points in P to pierce the unit disks centered at all the points in P. We first propose a very simple algorithm that produces 12-approximation result in O(n log n) time. Next, we improve the approximation factor to 4 and then to 3. The worst case running time of these algorithms are O(n8 log n) and O(n15 log n) respectively. Apart from the space required for storing the input, the extra work-space requirement for each of these algorithms is O(1). Finally, we propose a PTAS for the same problem. Given a positive integer k, it can produce a solution with performance ratio [Formula: see text] in nO(k) time.

Let n, d, and r be three integers such that 1≤r, d≤n. Chiaselotti (2002) defined γn,d,r as the minimum number of the nonnegative partial sums with d summands of a sum ∑1=1nai≥0, where a1,…,an are n real numbers arbitrarily chosen in such a way that r of them are nonnegative and the remaining n-r are negative. Chiaselotti (2002) and Chiaselotti et al. (2008) determine the values of γn,d,r for particular infinite ranges of the integer parameters n, d, and r. In this paper we continue their approach on this problem and we prove the following results: (i) γ(n,d,r)≤(rd)+(rd-1) for all values of n, d, and r such that (d-1)/dn-1≤r≤(d-1)/dn; (ii) γd+2,d,d=d+1.

Spanning Subgraph

Recently there has been much interest in studying random graph analogues of well-known classical results in extremal graph theory. Here we follow this trend and investigate the structure of triangle-free subgraphs of G(n, p) with high minimum degree. We prove that asymptotically almost surely each triangle-free spanning subgraph of G(n, p) with minimum degree at least (2/5 + o(1))pn is (p−1n)-close to bipartite, and each spanning triangle-free subgraph of G(n, p) with minimum degree at least (1/3 + ϵ)pn is O(p−1n)-close to r-partite for some r = r(ϵ). These are random graph analogues of a result by Andrásfai, Erdős and Sós (Discrete Math.8 (1974), 205–218), and a result by Thomassen (Combinatorica22 (2002), 591–596). We also show that our results are best possible up to a constant factor.

Threshold Graph

A graph G is threshold if there exists a ‘weight’ function w: V(G) → R such that the total weight of any stable set of G is less than the total weight of any non-stable set of G. Let n denote the set of threshold graphs with n vertices. A graph is called n-universal if it contains every threshold graph with n vertices as an induced subgraph. n-universal threshold graphs are of special interest, since they are precisely those n-universal graphs that do not contain any non-threshold induced subgraph.In this paper we shall study minimumn-universal (threshold) graphs, i.e.n-universal (threshold) graphs having the minimum number of vertices.It is shown that for any n ≥ 3 there exist minimum n-universal graphs, which are themselves threshold, and others which are not.Two extremal minimum n-universal graphs having respectively the minimum and the maximum number of edges are described, it is proved that they are unique, and that they are threshold graphs.The set of all minimum n-universal threshold graphs is then described constructively; it is shown that it forms a lattice isomorphic to the n − 1 dimensional Boolean cube, and that the minimum and the maximum elements of this lattice are the two extremal graphs introduced above.The proofs provide a (polynomial) recursive procedure that determines for any threshold graph G with n vertices and for any minimum n-universal threshold graph T, an induced subgraph G' of T isomorphic to G.

The Total Colouring Conjecture suggests that $\Delta+3$ colours ought to suffice in order to provide a proper total colouring of every graph $G$ with maximum degree $\Delta$. Thus far this has been confirmed up to an additive constant factor, and the same holds even if one additionally requires every pair of neighbours in $G$ to differ with respect to the sets of their incident colours, so called pallets. Within this paper we conjecture that an upper bound of the form $\Delta+C$, for a constant $C>0$ still remains valid even after extending the distinction requirement to pallets associated with vertices at distance at most $r$, if only $G$ has minimum degree $\delta$ larger than a constant dependent on $r$. We prove that such assumption on $\delta$ is then unavoidable and exploit the probabilistic method in order to provide two supporting results for the conjecture. Namely, we prove the upper bound $(1+o(1))\Delta$ for every $r$, and show that for any fixed $\epsilon\in(0,1]$ and $r$, the conjecture holds if $\delta\geq \varepsilon\Delta$, i.e., in particular for regular graphs.

Let $\mathcal{H}$ be a given finite (possibly empty) family of connected graphs, each containing a cycle, and let $G$ be an arbitrary finite $\mathcal{H}$-free graph with minimum degree at least $k$. For $p \in [0,1]$, we form a $p$-random subgraph $G_p$ of $G$ by independently keeping each edge of $G$ with probability $p$. Extending a classical result of Ajtai, Komlós, and Szemerédi, we prove that for every positive $\varepsilon$, there exists a positive $\delta$ (depending only on $\varepsilon$) such that the following holds: If $p \geq \frac{1+\varepsilon}{k}$, then with probability tending to $1$ as $k \to \infty$, the random graph $G_p$ contains a cycle of length at least $n_{\mathcal{H}}(\delta k)$, where $n_\mathcal{H}(k)>k$ is the minimum number of vertices in an $\mathcal{H}$-free graph of average degree at least $k$. Thus in particular $G_p$ as above typically contains a cycle of length at least linear in $k$.
